The ZYDEX code is not mentioned on the PDS 10.01 Configure PDS screen because the concept of the ZYDEX code in PDS is the same as the Smart Materials part concept. So it is not necessary to choose a different mapping method.

The ZYDEX code is always mapped with the so-called S.20.08 method.

The S20.08 method can be used for several PDS values, but for the ZYDEX code, it is the only possible way. The ZYDEX code is stored in a Smart Materials table and is then mapped directly to the applicable part code on the S.20.08 screen.

The creation of a Smart Materials table takes place on the A.50.02 screen.

In addition to the ZYDEX code, PDS needs information about the number of nominal diameters that the component has. This information is stored in the variable attribute TD.CHAR1 that is assigned in our example to the PDS_ZYDEX_CODE table on the A.50.03 screen.

The map name for PDS on A.50.I.01 is ZYDEX.

You can define groups for filling this table on the S.20.I.02 Specific Interface Groups screen.

In most cases, more than one group is not necessary, so only one mandatory group must be created, for example, PDS.

You can have more than one table for this purpose. Map additional tables by appending a sequential number to the map name like <mapname>_1, and so forth on A.50.I.01.

On the S.20.I.03 Specific Interface Details screen, define in this group all ZYDEX codes referring the customer to PDS. The variable attribute TD.char1 (NPS_2) is filled with * for all components with only one nominal diameter. For the components with two nominal diameters, the value must be empty.

The mapping of a Smart Materials part code to a PDS Zydex code is done on the S.20.08 Parts with Interface Details screen.

In the first (Group/Part) block, select the part that should be mapped. In the second (Part Table Detail) block, the mapping takes place when you select the ZYDEX code containing the table in the Tablename field and a ZYDEX code in the Table Detail 1 field.

The table detail can be chosen using the LOV functionality. In our example, the PDS interface is now able to find the ZYDEX code PIPING behind the Smart Materials part code P in the commodity group P. All commodity codes based on the Smart Materials pipe class contain one or more commodity codes that were created with the part group P and part code P. All of these specification items will have the ZYDEX code ‘PIPING’ in the PCD file.

For material with two ends, you must define two values. Enter the value for the green end in the Table Detail 1 field and the value for the red end in the Table Detail 2 field.

In addition, you can specify more than one mapping per part. Do this by:

  1. Enter the table detail(s) and go to the third (Part Table Detail Links) block. Here you can enter a commodity detail condition that must be true for this mapping to become active. The entries in this block are used as AND conditions, which means that all of them must be true to activate the associated mapping in the second block.

  2. Then enter another mapping in the second block and assign another commodity detail combination. As a result, you will have two different PDS values for different commodity codes within the same part.

You can have more than two different mappings.
