Data can be exported from the current P&ID drawing into an AVEVA PDMS Schematic Database and imported from an AVEVA PDMS Schematic Database to the P&ID Data Grid.
The installation of PDMS that the AVEVA P&ID project is integrated with, and the AVEVA Integration Service to be used are selected on the Plant and Marine Integration Category Pane of the AVEVA P&ID Project Administration program. A project and database is also selected.
The USER_IMPERIAL_TOL and USER_METRIC_TOL user-defined directives in the Miscellaneous – Settings Sub-Category are used to set a distance (in inches or mm) from within which the Schematic Model Manager Head References (Hrefs) and Tail References (Trefs) may be detected for signal lines with gaps between them and connected components.
Configuration is also required in PDMS to set up the interface between AVEVA P&ID and PDMS Schematics. See Set up PDMS Schematics to Connect with P&ID for details.
The database to which data is to be exported is logged into using facilities provided by the P&ID Data Grid. The current content of the selected database can also be viewed in the P&ID Data Grid. Refer to Import, View and Export data to and from PDMS Schematics.
Refer to Transfer Data to PDMS Schematic Databases for the export procedure. Transfers from multiple drawings may be implemented if required.
Note: The project may be setup so that data is exported automatically instead (by default it is not). This option is selected on the Plant and Marine Integration Category Pane of the AVEVA P&ID Project Administration program.
Note: Data can also be exported from single or multiple drawings to XML files in ISO 15928 format. This data can subsequently be imported into a PDMS Schematic database using the PDMS Schematic Model Manager module. See Export to an ISO 15926 File.
The current content of a Schematics database can be imported and then viewed in the P&ID Data Grid. The data can then placed on drawings as designators. Refer to Label with Data from the P&ID Data Grid.
