To Assign Device Type Code to a Specific Component Class in OpenPlant PID
Background
If user wants to change Device Type Code for a specific component class in OpenPlant PID, then it is possible by defining Device Type Code “Property Custom Attributes” Default Value for specific component class in OpenPlant_PID.01.07 schema.
Steps to Accomplish
- Launch Bentley Class Editor.
- Go to File menu option and select Open
- Open “OpenPlant_PID.01.07.ecschema.xml” schema from C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenPlantPID (SS6)\WorkSpace\Projects\[Project Name]\Dataset\schemas
- Select “OpenPlant.01.07.ecschema.xml” schema in “Locate a missing reference OpenPlant.01.07 for schema OpenPlant_PID.01.07” dialog from “C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenPlantPID (SS6)\WorkSpace\OPPID\schemas” and Open
- Once loaded, Right mouse click on OpenPlant PID in Class editor and select “Supplement Schema”
- Select “Add” from “Specify Supplemental Schemas” dialog
- Open “OpenPlant_PID_Supplemental_Imperial.01.07.ecschema.xml” from “C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenPlantPID (SS6)\WorkSpace\Projects\[Project Name]\Dataset\schemas”
- After adding supplemental schema, click “OK” to “Specify Supplemental Schemas” dialog.
- It will supplement the schema. Once it got supplemented, schema will be shown as OpenPlant PID [Supplemented] in Class Editor
- Press “Find Class” icon in Class Editor, write “Valve” in “Search For” field in “Find Class” Dialog and press Search Button
- Double click on searched class name “VALVE” or select “VALVE” and select Go to button
- Expand “Valve” node and select the component class for which you want to change Device Type code for example select Gate Valve from “Valve—Inline Valve”
- Go to Properties tab in right side pane and search “Device Type Code” property and select “Override” to allow changes to be done
(NOTE: If "Override" button is grayed out then click "Custom Attributes..") - Change “Default Value” in “Property Custom Attribute” from “HV” to required one say “TEST”
(If Adding Custom Attribute then only add Default value and set IsGraphical to "True") - Save changes and close class editor
- Launch OpenPlant PID and open model in same project in which changes are made
- Place a gate vale and verify that “Device Type Code” updated to new one i.e. “TEST”
- Place some other valve and verify that Device Type Code is “HV”
