Process Engineer

In AVEVA Instrumentation, there are two methods of recording the details of process data associated with an instrument (for example, for inclusion on instrument datasheets):

• The process data can be recorded against each specific instrument in Engineer (this data can be viewed, but not edited in Process Engineer).

  In this case, if for example a process value (flow rate) of a line is changed, this value must be updated for each and every instrument that is associated with that line.

• Instruments can instead be associated with actual process equipment and process line items in the AVEVA Instrumentation project database in Instrumentation Engineer.

  These items of equipment and lines have their own specific process and physical properties. If a process value such as flow rate changes, this change is made against the line and not the instruments associated with that line (in one place). All instruments associated with that line that automatically reference this single updated value, thus ensuring data consistency on deliverables such as instrument datasheets.

  These items are created and edited in the Process Engineer module.
