Equipment Tree Overview

To navigate through the project treeview

• Select an equipment node's '+' icon to expand it.

  The treeview not only shows the project equipment, but also the DIN Rails, circuit breakers, terminal strips, compartments, and compartment elements of the equipment.

  

Note: In the case of Compartments created in AVEVA Electrical and shared with the Instrumentation project, Compartments elements, which are created in the Electrical version of Wiring Manager, are not displayed in AVEVA Instrumentation.

To add an equipment node

• Right-click on the appropriate node.

  A right-click menu opens with options specific to that equipment node type. The options vary depending on the selected equipment type. For example, the right-click menu in Equipment View gives add options for the Junction Box node selected. For this Junction Box users can add: a field device, a device (relay, IS Barrier), an I/O module, a Terminal Strip, a DIN Rail (DIN Rails can contain terminals and devices/IO modules mixed together in any sequence and quantity), or an Earth Bar.

  For most equipment nodes, options to edit and delete the selected item are available, plus a facility to find any equipment number. When an Equipment node (that is, a Motor, Control Station, or Field Device) has been selected, an option to print (or print preview) the terminations for the selected equipment is also provided.

  Double-clicking on any node that contains terminals, terminal strips, DIN rails, earth bars, devices, compartments or compartment elements will bring up the Wiring Manager's Terminations. This window allows terminations to be defined through a 'drag and drop' style graphical user interface.
