Label Instrument Valves (Control Valves)

The main body of the valve and/or the balloon can be labelled. An error will be received on output if the balloon label is not present.

Instrument valve label data may be inherited from the label of the owning pipe, as set-up in the Pipes - Settings Sub-Category of the AVEVA P&ID Project Administration program. If it is not clear which pipe is the owning pipe, the List Item Details procedure should be used to identify it.

When labelling the main body of the valve, use the same labelling procedure as for general valves except that the valve code does not apply.

Refer to, Label General Valves and Label Port Valves.

When labelling the balloon, use the same labelling procedure as for instruments.

Refer to Label General Instruments.

Any changes to the instrument balloon label positions in the project configuration file will only take effect if labels are removed and replaced. If a labelled control valve is copied, all labelling is removed except the Item Type reference in the balloon e.g., FT.

Instrument label balloons can be moved independently from the instrument.

There is also a facility to bulk edit instrument labels. Refer to Globally Edit Labels.
