Feature Overview

Electrical Engineer includes the following features:

Equipment Lists

• Lists of loads and supplies, and a list of all project electrical equipment including powered equipment from Electrical Wiring Manager, lists of equipment packages and lists of instruments with power requirements from a shared AVEVA Instrumentation project.

• User-definable Grid Views (viewable columns, captions, default column widths, default sort order and data filters).

• Adding/Editing equipment and maintain equipment list data.

• Printing, sorting and filtering lists 'on the fly'.

• Exporting Grid Views to Excel.

• Importing from Excel.

• Attaching external documents/files to electrical equipment tags (PDF, Word, Excel, various picture formats etc.) and viewing these documents.

• Support for several tag formats.

• Datasheet document numbers can be updated from Datasheet list.

• Defining "Wiring Rules" for each tag and generate all cables, terminals and wire terminations in the Wiring Manager application.

• Change management: Report all tags added, deleted and renamed. Report detail changes in each field.

• Exporting equipment data to AVEVA Asset Information Management.

• Integration facilities for transferring and comparing data from other AVEVA products and Excel.

• Importing and exporting equipment and cable data from and to ETAP.

Datasheets (Specifications)

• Assigning equipment to datasheets (supports multiple tags per datasheet).

• Control printing and updating of datasheets in 'batch' mode.

• Document management - control document revisions etc.

• Datasheets use Microsoft Excel spreadsheets to define form layouts.

• Datasheets are stand-alone documents (Excel spreadsheets) for easy exchange with third parties.

• Importing and exporting data from spreadsheets completed by vendor or client etc., highlight changes, accept and reject etc.

• Fully user definable datasheet design (form layout and cell/database mapping and user table design).

• Copy datasheet design (form layout/setup etc.) from other AVEVA Electrical projects.

• Tools to copy data from other tags and/or datasheets.

• Import/export data from/to Excel (highlight changes, accept/reject etc.).

• Viewing/editing data in a grid for easier management of data across multiple datasheets and tags.

• Viewing/editing all datasheet data by form type in a grid for easier management of all data across multiple datasheets and tags.

• Change Management: Highlight changes between Issues (revisions).

• Viewing of previous Issues.

• Printing datasheets to PDF format files.

• Merging of multiple datasheets into single documents for joint publication. Documents are accessible from Documents grid.

• Exporting datasheet data to AVEVA AIM.

Distribution Diagrams

• Single Line diagrams and Key One Line diagrams can be created.

• Single Line diagrams are created by specifying a supply or a load for which a supply has been defined. The diagram is then created automatically for the supply, with its loads etc. included.

• Key One Line diagrams are created by adding symbols to a blank diagram and connecting them. When a symbol or cable is added to a Key One Line diagram, an equipment item or cable is automatically created with default data.

• The symbols used on diagrams may be edited and new symbols created.

• Existing equipment can be dragged and dropped from the Loads of Supplies lists onto a diagram.

• The layout of a diagram is fully editable.

• Diagrams can be printed and exported to PDF and AutoCAD.

• The user can create, edit and size cables for links between equipment.

Change Management

• Report all equipment/datasheets added, deleted and renamed.

• Report detail changes in each field (for example, Model No now XXXX was YYYY).

• Log changes for future reporting).

• Audit Manager enables users to view changes by object type.

Reports

Electrical Engineer supports a number of user definable reports, including:

• Equipment List

• Load List

• Load Schedule

• Distribution Board Schedule

User Security Rights

An AVEVA Electrical administrator can set security rights for users to enable/disable access to AVEVA Electrical functionality including:

• Access to AVEVA Electrical application modules - users can be restricted from using any module (license).

• Access to AVEVA Electrical objects can be restricted to read-only (foe example, a user cannot add/edit a datasheets) or no access (for example,. the user cannot view an item).

Electrical Engineer objects include project entities such as cables, equipment, datasheets etc., and catalogues, the importing of data etc.

By default all new projects have the Security Rights features disabled for backward compatibility with earlier versions of AVEVA Electrical. If security is required it must be turned on using the Electrical Security Manager. Users must then be allocated to 'Security Groups' such as Engineers and Designers, Read-Only Users etc. Refer to the Security Manager User Guide for more information.
