Instrumentation, Electrical and P&ID Elements Matching

Instrumentation, Electrical and AVEVA P&ID element matching uses the following criteria:

• If element data from the target Database (DB) (for example, Schematics) had previously been imported into AVEVA Instrumentation, AVEVA Electrical or AVEVA P&ID, the DAtaBAse CONtrol Program (DABACON) references will have been stored in there. If available these will be used as the first attempt to match.

• If AVEVA Instrumentation, AVEVA Electrical or AVEVA P&ID data have previously been imported into the target DB, and the integration UDA was available, the AVEVA Instrumentation, AVEVA Electrical or AVEVA P&ID DB references will have been stored in the UDA. If available these will be used as the second attempt to match.

  Note:
  If the UDA is not available this step will be skipped. For further information, refer to Integration UDA Definition.

• For AVEVA Instrumentation, if the first two attempts have not generated a match, the third attempt will match on the default criteria of Tag or Loop as appropriate.

Instruments from AVEVA Instrumentation can be matched to the DABACON types Instrument, Equipment and Sub-equipment. This gives the capability, for example, to separate instruments into inline, offline mounted, and offline non-mounted.
