In Smart Instrumentation, you can create, view and edit installation details for all prepared instrument drawings (hook-ups) within a domain. A hook-up is a graphical representation of an assembly drawing — a drawing prototype.
You can perform various actions in the Reference Explorer, the Domain Explorer, and the Hook-Ups module.
In the Hook-Up Item Libraries folder of the Reference Explorer, you define your item libraries, create and manage hook-up items. You need to set a specific library as the active item library, which becomes your <plant> default library. The completeness of this library is up to the user.
In the Hook-Ups folder of the Domain Explorer, which depicts the hierarchy of hook-up data, you can organize hook-ups in hook-up types and associate hook-ups with instrument tags and hook-up items. You can determine the name of each hook-up and hook-up type based on your specific requirements. After that, you can generate hook-up drawings using the Enhanced Report Utility or your CAD application.
Using the Hook-Ups module options, you generate various hook-up reports and a Bill of Material, define hook-up item manufacturers, make hook-up macro definitions, and so forth.
Electrical tags created in Smart Instrumentation cannot be associated with a Hook-Up even if the instrument type SPEL has been associated with the Hook-Up type. The SPEL instrument type is only for use with items retrieved from Smart Electrical in an integrated environment.
