Label Valve Interlocks

The procedure can be used to label interlocks associated with valves.

For details of the use of this procedure in the context of drawing P&IDs, refer to Label Interlocks associated with Valves.

Associated Project Configuration Options

• Inheritance between interlock label and sheet attribute fields, and whether or not inherited values are displayed on P&IDs, is set up using the Instruments - Settings Sub-Category of the AVEVA P&ID Project Administration program.

• The project may be set to check that interlock labels in all P&IDs in the project are unique using the Label Validation across P&IDs section of the Instrument - Settings Sub-Category.

   • selecting the symbol to be labelled on The Drawing Page, then selecting Properties from the shortcut menu, or

   • selecting the Properties option in the Properties group of the Home tab.
