Sets options for applying a typical cable block diagram to plant loads.
You can select a number of loads in the Electrical Index and apply a typical CBD profile to these loads. As a result of this operation, the software will do the following based on the definitions in the selected typical CBD:
-
Create all the plant equipment as defined in the typical CBD.
-
Make all the associations among the new plant equipment as defined in the typical CBD.
-
Create plant cable block diagrams in which the selected plant load serves as a focal item. The names of the new CBDs will be the same as the names of the loads to which you applied the selected typical CBD.
The tab options are as follows:
Enable equipment profile
Makes all the controls on this tab available. This check box is used for security to prevent you from applying a profile in error.
Typical cable block diagram
Displays the name of the typical block diagram that you have selected on the Find dialog.
Find
Opens the Find dialog which allows you to find an appropriate typical cable block diagram that will be applied to the selected loads.
Populate empty item properties
Select the Populate empty item properties check box to update only those item properties that contain null data. When you select this option, the software does not overwrite the data that is not null. Clear the check box to leave existing values of the item properties as they are, regardless of whether they contain null or not null values.
-
The software does not apply a typical CBD to plant loads in the following cases and logs the rejection reason in the Apply Typical CBD log file:
-
If the typical CBD does not contain any typical item that belongs to the same item type as the electrical item to which you are applying the typical CBD.
-
If the typical CBD contains more than one typical item that belongs to the same item type as the electrical item to which you are applying the typical CBD.
-
If the electrical item is not associated with a bus but the selected typical CBD contains a reference bus circuit.
-
If the selected electrical item is already associated with other plant items.
-
-
When applying a typical CBD to motors with space heaters:
-
The software deletes the space heater from the plant and applies the typical CBD to the motor.
-
If the typical CBD contains a reference motor with a space heater, the software creates a new plant space heater under the plant motor after applying the typical CBD.
-
If the plant space heater is associated with other items (for example, cables, control stations, signals, terminal strips, and so on), the software does not apply the selected typical CBD to the motor of the space heater and logs the rejection reason in the Apply Typical CBD log file.
-
-
When applying a typical CBD to loads that are associated with buses:
-
After applying a typical CBD, the software validates that the association has been retained.
-
If the association has been broken, the software searches for the root item in the electrical branch where the load is connected. If the root item is not a circuit, the software attempts to associate the root item with the bus in that electrical branch.
-
If the association of the root item with a bus is not possible, the software does not stop or cancel the process of applying the selected typical CBD.
