Smart Instrumentation provides multiple views of a central, unified data structure that represents the plant model. A view is a visual presentation of the data in the plant model and can be a schematic drawing or a table. The plant model is the computer representation of the conceptual design, including all plant components and their relationships. By manipulating model views, you can organize the information within the plant model to better understand and maintain the data.
Smart Instrumentation has several programs and utilities for running and managing your plant data.
|
|
Smart Instrumentation provides an environment that allows you to design and maintain every stage in the life-cycle of plant engineering systems, from construction, through maintenance and modernization, to de-commissioning. |
|
|
Administration Module provides you with administrative tools for keeping track of your resources and maintaining user access security. |
|
DB Setup Utility allows you to create an initial Smart Instrumentation database.
|
|
|
|
Import Utility allows you to import data from most common database formats into a selected table or module in the Smart Instrumentation database. |
|
|
Internal Setup Utility is for the use of System Administrators to troubleshoot and fix database problems in Smart Instrumentation without the need to log on to Smart Instrumentation. |
|
|
Merger Utility provides you with the means of transferring a selected plant hierarchy item (for example, domain, plant, and so forth) from a source domain to the same type of plant hierarchy item in an existing target domain. |
|
|
Smart Instrumentation Rule Manager is an environment used for creating, manipulating, and managing sets of consistency rules that apply whenever a user associates two items or modifies properties of a certain item in Smart Instrumentation. Rule manager also creates GUI rules that allow a user control over every field in every item's 'Properties' dialog box. These rules determine how items act and interact within a project. Usually, you create a set of rules at the beginning of a project. |
|
|
Enhanced Report Utility allows you to generate graphical reports for items such as loops, cables, and terminal strips using a generic engine that draws various wiring objects based on database query retrieval. |
|
|
Symbol Editor allows you to customize symbols to fit your own design conventions specifically for Layout reports and for Enhanced SmartLoop drawings that use the Custom by Loop or Custom by Signal generation methods. |
The DB setup application (.exe) is found in the folder where you installed Smart Instrumentation.
By default that is; C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartPlant\Instrumentation.
In addition to the main application, several utilities are available as separate installations.
|
|
Intergraph IDEAL API is a set of components that are used to generate reports containing Smart Instrumentation data. IDEAL enables you to retrieve data and display it in a Web browser in a format appropriate for the report type.
|
|
|
DDP Export Utility allows you to specify parameters needed to create a data file that is used to export dimensional data from Smart Instrumentation to Plant Design System (PDS™).
|
|
|
External Editor allows you to view and modify external instrument specification sheets (.psr and .isf files). |
|
|
Process Data Editor allows you to view and modify external process data sheets (.ipd files). |
|
|
SAP Export Utility allows you to specify parameters needed to create a data file that is used to export data from Smart Instrumentation to SAP.
