Background
In a situation where an equipment which has large quantity of nozzles present it becomes difficult to accommodate all the lines in 1 P&ID, in such a situation we need to have the same equipment in a different P&ID however the nozzle numbers need to be different. Following are the steps that will help to achieve such requirement.
Steps to Accomplish
- Create 2 drawings. PID-1.Dgn & PID-2.Dgn
- Place a Tank/Equipment in PID-1 and placed nozzles on the top.
- In PID-2, place the same tank with same tag number but with different nozzle numbers
- Sync the first drawing i.e., PID-1 to PlantSight.
- Sync the second drawing PID-2 to PlantSight, the system will find a duplicate tag i.e. the tag of the tank.
- Click on the “Link selected” option and close the “Model Validation” prompt
NOTE: Avoid Fix Business Keys option this will increment the tank tag number. - Sync again, you can observe that the Tag of the Tank (50-T-0001) is not incremented.
- Open the PlantSight portal, and select the “Tag Management”
- Navigate to the Equipment > Container > Vessel > Tank, select column and right click on it and select “Edit Properties”
- In the related properties you can see that the tank 50-T-0001 is present in both the drawings i.e. PID-1 & PID-2
Navigate to the Nozzles and you can observe that the Nozzles N1 to N6 are present in
PID-1 & Nozzles N7 to N12 are present in PID-2
