Edit Tag Details - Tabs

General

The General tab is used to enter typical common data for most instruments on the project.

Detail

The Detail tab is used for more detailed design data and includes data typically required for wiring and installation information.

1. Use the Wiring Config PickList to assign a Wiring Rule to the instrument. The name is used to auto generate the instrument termination arrangement including terminal details, cable type, connection arrangement and wire ferrule numbers etc. Typically this choice is made by the person responsible for detail wiring design. It can also be edited from the Designer and Wiring Manager applications.

2. Use the Junction Box in-cell command button to display an Assign window which you can use to assign the current instrument to a Junction Box.

3. Click Create Tag Wiring to display the Create Tag Wiring for window. Refer to Using Wiring Rules to Create Data for further information.

4. Click Tag Wiring Check to display a report showing wiring connectivity for the current tag.

Datasheet

The Operating Principle PickList is used to pre-assign an instrument to a data sheet form type.

5. Use the Sizing Calculation button to display windows used to perform sizing calculations for the instrument. If no sizing calculations have been performed for the instrument, the button will display a list of sizing calculation types to select from.

   If a sizing calculation or calculations have been performed, the last type of calculation performed is displayed under the button. The button will open the window used to perform that calculation.

6. To select a different calculation to perform, double-click on the calculation type name under the button. The list of calculation types is then displayed.

   The button in the Datasheet No. field provides access to the datasheet (if it exists). If the tag is not yet assigned to a datasheet then you are allowed to assign the current tag to an existing datasheet using the Add Datasheet for window.

   For more details of sizing calculations and datasheets, refer to the Engineer.

   

DCS System

The DCS System tab is used to assign DCS I/O information for the current tag (if the current tag will be connected to the DCS System).

Important: The DCS I/O Type must contain a non-blank value for the current tag to be assigned to an I/O Module in Wiring Manager and to allow wiring to be completed to the I/O terminals.

PLC/ESD System

The PLC/ESD System tab is used to assign PLC or ESD (Emergency/Safety Shutdown) I/O information for the current tag (if the current tag will be connected to the PLC or ESD System).

Important: The PLC I/O Type must contain a non-blank value for the current tag to be assigned to an I/O Module in Wiring Manager to allow wiring to be completed to the I/O terminals.

User

Instrument Engineer has twenty-four user defined fields (UserField1 to UserField24). The User tab shows sixteen of these user fields (the others can be added to any grid view).

Alarms/Settings

Use this tab to enter Alarm and Settings data required for the instrument.

Properties

Use this tab to enter additional instrument and process data properties as required.

7. Click on the appropriate Select Properties Type option and enter or edit values as required.

   

Power Supply

Used to enter details of any power supply requirements for the instrument.

8. If appropriate, check the Requires Power Supply checkbox and enter the details in the fields provided.

   

9. If the instrument data is to be shared with AVEVA Electrical, click Share with Electrical.

   Note: Unless sharing with AVEVA Electrical is enabled for the project the checkbox will be disabled. Sharing with AVEVA Electrical may be enabled during project setup, or afterwards (using the Project tab > Edit Project option). For further information, refer to Installation.

Associated Items

Used to view the process equipment and lines associated with the instruments, to add further associations, and to remove associations.

The Properties button is used to open the Edit Process Equipment or Edit Process Lines window for the process item selected on the tab, in which further details of the item can be viewed. Refer to the Process Engineer User Guide for further details.
