Create a New Apparatus and Make All the Connections - Intergraph Smart Instrumentation - Training - Intergraph Process, Power & Marine Documentation

Having defined a new apparatus configuration, you will now add a new apparatus to marshaling rack 101-MR-DCS-001. When adding a new apparatus, you will also create a new strip where this apparatus will be located. It is also possible to add an apparatus to an existing strip if required.

1. On the Apparatus Group dialog box, click Create.

2. On the Terminal Strip Properties dialog box, under Terminal strip, type ST-BR-1 and click OK.

   You have successfully created a new terminal strip with four barriers in marshaling rack 101-MR-DCS-001. Expanding this marshaling rack in the Domain Explorer will show you the new terminal strip and its four barriers:
   

   

   Next you will view the connection details of marshaling rack 101-MR-DCS-001.

3. In the Domain Explorer, right-click terminal strip ST-BR-1, then on the shortcut menu, click Actions > Connection.

   The Connection window opens displaying the information as shown:

   

4. Close the Connection window and then in the Domain Explorer, under marshaling rack 101-MR-DCS-001, right-click terminal strip FT-1 and then click Actions > Connection.

5. In the Connection window, do the following to disconnect Pr 12 on the left side of the marshaling rack:

   1. Click cable set Pr 12 to select the cable set and its wires:

      

   2. Click on the Connection window toolbar to disconnect the selected wires.

   3. Click No in the following message to retain the existing I/O assignment.

      

6. Close the Connection window.

7. In the Domain Explorer, expand marshaling rack 101-MR-DCS-001 and right-click terminal strip ST-BR-1. On the shortcut menu, click Actions > Connection.

8. Reconnect Pr 12 on the left (marshaling) side of the terminal strip as follows:

   1. In the Domain Explorer, expand the Cables folder, scroll down to cable
      C-101-JB-DCS-001/1 and click it to display its cable sets.

   2. Click cable set Pr 12 to display its wires.

   3. Drag the upper 101-PT-201 wire to the first (3+) terminal.

   4. On the Wire Connection Options dialog box, accept the End 2 option and click OK.

   5. Drag the lower 101-PT-201 wire to the first (4-) terminal.

   6. On the Wire Connection Options dialog box, accept the End 2 option and click OK.

      Now the Connection window for 101-MR-DCS-001 should appear as shown:

      

9. Close the Connection window and in the Domain Explorer expand 101-DCS-001.

   Now all that remains to complete the signal propagation is to perform cross wiring in the marshaling rack between the appropriate terminals on strips ST-BR-1 and FT-1.

10. Right-click marshaling rack 101-MR-DCS-001 and on the shortcut menu, click Actions > Cross Wiring.

11. In the Cross Wiring window, select primary strip 101-MR-DCS-001, ST-BR-1 and secondary strip 101-MR-DCS-001, FT-1.

12. Click to find the terminals on terminal strip FT-1 that can be cross-wired with terminal strip ST-BR-1.

13. Accept the suggested defaults and click to complete the cross wiring.

    At the end of the cross wiring procedure, the Primary Strip pane should appear as shown:

    

    This completes the wiring design for loop P-201.

14. To view the new connections, select a terminal and on the Cross Wiring toolbar, click .
