The current version of Smart Instrumentation supports KKS naming conventions for process-related identification of most instrumentation items.
Out of Scope Issues
The following issues are not supported in the current development:
-
Configuration rules for KKS establishments
-
Grouping of items hierarchically by a common physical system classification or equipment unit
-
Point of installation and location identification
-
Signal identification (signal area, signal applications, and gated signals)
-
Loop naming propagation to instruments when renaming the loop
-
Searching for items using KKS segments as search parameters. You can, however, search for items using wild cards in the Find Items dialog, in the box where you can enter the full item tag name.
-
Telecom options (partially supported, can create telecom tags).
-
Management of KKS classification keys
-
The software does not automatically increment numbering properties of KKS segments.
-
The software does not automatically add leading zeros to imported items whose names include spaces. You must manually add the leading zeros to the source before importing KKS data.
-
When creating multiple items, the names of all the items, other than the first one, appear in the interface as zeros, for example: '00000', even though KKS naming is applied to them. In such cases, the user needs to rename the individual items by changing the appropriate numbering segment, after which the software displays the item names correctly.
-
The software does not reset cable names when you disconnect one of the cable sides from a panel that originally propagated its naming to the cable.
-
When renaming a panel, the software does not update the cable naming according to KKS rules.
-
If you change the naming convention, it only affects new items. Existing items retain their names according to the previous naming convention.
-
The software does not make any validations between the item type and the KKS code.
-
The software does not validate imported data. For this reason, you need to check the source data before importing it. It is recommended to use the comparison list before importing line, equipment, or wiring data. For instrument tags and loops, you can map the appropriate segments of the source data to the KKS data segments in Smart Instrumentation.
-
Moving a loop to another plant group or associating an instrument or a loop with another loop does not affect the tag naming.
-
The software correlates instrument types by name using the KKS component classification. The KKS seed database includes a representative list of instrument types, which you should review and update as needed prior to project execution.
