Background

In OPPID, when the control valve is placed an actuator is also placed with it, and the control valve's tag is annotated on the instrument bubble but if the user also wants a separate tag for the actuator then there is no direct way because there is no relationship between the valve and actuator. Since the actuator is a part of the Valve cell and not a separate instance therefore we need an indirect way of annotating the actuator with a different tag.

Steps to Accomplish

  1. Launch a Class Editor and load OpenPlant_PID schema.

  2. Supplement it with OpenPlant_PID_Supplemental_Design.01.08 schema.

  3. Go to Instrument class and create new property ACTUATOR_NUMBER.



  4. Add Custom Attribute, Category as shown below. 



  5. Create another property ACTUATOR_TAG on Instrument class.


  6. Add a Calculated EC Property Specification attribute on ACTUATOR_TAG property and set EC Expression as this.NAME & "-" & this.ACTUATOR_NUMBER shown below.



  7. Add Annotation Custom Attribute and set the count to 1 as shown below.



  8. Save the changes in the schema and verify the result in OPPID.
