Default System Classification of Items

The default classification is controlled by the PML Function AVEVA-Classify.pmlmac, this is automatically loaded as the Class map file (see AVEVA NET Export - Settings Window).

It contains something like:

...

--Begin

SITE+System

ZONE+Area

EQUI+Equipment

NOZZ+Nozzle

PIPE+PipeLine

BRAN+PipingSegment

VALV+Valve

INST+Instrument

SCTN+StructuralBeam

PANE+StructuralPanel

HVAC+HVAC

ISOREG+WorkPack

SPLDRG+SpoolDrawing

SPOOL+Spool

FIELD+Weld

ASWL+Assembly

ASMBLY+Assembly

BLOCK+Block

Otherwise+Component

The result of the mapping is that objects of type SITE in PDMS are instantiated as objects of class System in AVEVA NET. The Otherwise statement means that all objects that are not matched else where in the list are instantiated of class Component. It is important that all the classes on the right hand side, the AVEVA NET Classes, exist in the Class library. The contents of the class library can be inspected by using the Admin Tool.
