Applying a typical control station to a plant item allows you to create a predefined control station and associate it with a selected plant item. The software allows you to apply a typical control station to all loads, all converting equipment items, disconnect equipment, generators, and battery banks.

  1. In the Electrical Index, expand the folder hierarchy by selecting the + icons or by double- selecting the folders.

  2. Navigate to the folder for the required equipment type and do one of the following:

    • Expand the folder and select an item from the list.

    • Select the folder, and in the list view pane, hold CTRL while you select more than one item.

    SHARED Tip You can also select more than one item by selecting a subset of item tags in the EDE.

  3. Select Tools > Apply Options.

  4. On the Apply Options dialog, select the Control Station tab.

  5. Select Enable control station.

  6. Select Add.

  7. On the Find dialog, select Find Now to display the available control stations.

  8. From the list of control stations, while holding CTRL, highlight each control station that you want to associate with the item.

  9. Select OK.

  10. Under Apply to, select All items.

    SHARED Tip If required, you can select Items with no control station to add control stations only to items that do not have any existing control stations.

  11. Under Action, select Add or Replace to determine how the software deals with control stations that have the same name as existing control stations. This option applies only if you select All items.

  12. Select Apply.

  • You can apply a typical control station to a load, converting equipment item, disconnect electrical equipment item, a generator, and a battery bank.

  • You can view the control stations associated with an item of electrical equipment by selecting Common Properties on the shortcut menu for the item, and on the dialog that opens, selecting the Controls & Signals tab.

  • If you select a reference control station that has one or more associated control cables, the software creates these cables in the control station that you add to the plant item.

  • If you apply control stations to one or more items that are connected to circuits, the software associates the control station cables (instrumentation and control) with the circuits automatically when you select the appropriate Options Manager setting. If you do not use the setting, you need to make the association manually. For details, see Associate Cables of Control Stations with Equipment Circuits.

  • If you modify the components of a reference control station that already has a reference from an item, the software does not update the change in the reference until you next apply a profile to the item.
