Add Field Devices

AVEVA Instrumentation uses 'Wiring Rules' to auto-generate typical field instrument wiring/cabling. By using the Wiring Rules features, users can save many hours otherwise required to manually build devices and their associated terminal arrangements, cables, terminations . in Wiring Manager. For further information, refer to Using Wiring Rules.

Using Wiring Rules to create field devices is limited to instruments that appear in AVEVA Instrumentation Engineer Instrument List (instrument index). If a field device is required that is not in the Instrument List (or it is preferred that field devices are to be created without using Wiring Rules) then proceed as follows.

Note: Field devices are present in both the Wiring Manager and the Engineer modules. The data for such items is kept in sync between modules. Be aware that field captions in one module may be different from those in the other, depending on how data grids have been configured. In other words, the same field displaying the same data may have a different name in each module.

• Right-click on the appropriate field device node, and then select Add Field Device from the Equipment View right-click menu.
