Set up PDMS Schematics to Connect with P&ID

The following configuration is required in PDMS in order to set up the interface between AVEVA P&ID and PDMS Schematics, refer to Integration with PDMS Schematics.

• In the Admin module, make sure the "Toolbox" module is defined and that it is set to open Schematic type databases in RW mode (as defined in the supplied file MODMAC.MAC, with the standard PDMS install).

  To define the TOOLBOX module if it does not already exist, enter the following at the command prompt:

  MODULE 95 TOOLBOX

  M DESI RW

  M NSEQ RW

  M ISOD R

  M SCHE RW

  M CATA R

  M PROP R

  M DICT R

  M MANU R

  M DESI DEFAULT

  M TRAN RW

  BUFFER 12800000

  If the Toolbox module already exists but the Schematic DB is not set to open in RW mode, then enter:

  edit module 95 mode SCHE RW

• The Schematic Model database and the Catalogue Data database should be set to multi-write implicit, to allow the loading PDMS and P&ID at the same time.

  For instance, in the SAM project the following databases must be set to multi-write:

  - SAMPLE/DESI

  - ADMIN/REFDATA
