This topic describes the specification requirements for circular coupling (COUP) components.
Parameter description requirements
-
Parameter #1 = Width of arrive
Data set requirements
For information about data set requirements that apply for all circular components, refer to Circular component requirements.
The following requirements are in addition to the data references that are created for parameters.

** Where the Default value is set to a parameter, the Expression value must be set to the same parameter. This is applicable for all component types.
P-point requirements
For information about P-point requirements that apply for all circular components, refer to Circular component requirements.
The following table shows the additional required P-points:

Connection Type (PCON) |
Bore (PBOR) |
Axis Direction (PAXI) |
PZ Axis (PZAXI) |
Point Width (PWID) |

Specification requirements
The following specification headings are required:
-
Type (TYPE)
-
Duct Shape (PSHA)
-
Duct Width (PWID)
-
Duct Height (PHEI) = 0
In the AVEVA supplied specifications, Specific Type (STYP) is used to differentiate between different COUP types.
Note:
This type of component does not exist in the AVEVA supplied catalogue for rectangular
HVAC.
