This topic lists and describes all the prerequisites you must meet before importing Flowserve Performance! data into Smart Instrumentation. In addition to Flowserve Performance!-specific prerequisites, make sure you have configured your ODBC data source (see Configure ODBC Data Source for DBF Files) and that you have completed the general prerequisites (for details, see Data Import Prerequisites).

Before being able to import data, the predefined import links for Flowserve Performance! must be available. To make the links available, you need to import the appropriate system interfaces into Smart Instrumentation from the Administration module (for details, see Import System Interfaces).

Ensure that you have performed the following prerequisite actions:

  • Create target instruments with Control Valve as the instrument type, assign process data sheets to these instruments, and make sure you clear the process data in these sheets.

  • In the Specifications module, restore the library form 71 Flowserve Control Valve. For details see Restore Library Forms. Flowserve Performance! data that you import will appear in control valve specifications based either on form 71 or form 1, which you do not need to restore.

  • For forms 1 and 71, prepare source ASCII files with .csv extensions and name them. The Import Utility uses these files to identify the Flowserve Performance! import source for control valve specifications based on the appropriate forms.

  • Clear process data in process data sheets associated with the target control valves.

Also note the following:

  • Make sure that your ODBC profile is named VUE1. For details on how to define a new ODBC profile, see Configure ODBC Data Source for Text Files.

  • Due to the Unicode technology, check the system codes and make sure that you have correctly adapted all the system codes and the units of measure. For details, see System Codes.

  • Prior to running your import link, make sure that you have selected the appropriate source system. In Import Manager, click Code > Source System List and then select the source system that you require.

  • For all the import links that contain references to the Control Valve table, note that the Control Valve table has two fields that deal with similar data, CV_VALVE_TYPE and CV_VALVE_TYPE_ID. Both these fields are supported by the Specifications module. However, only the CV_VALVE_TYPE_ID field is used in the Calculations module. Therefore, if you want the imported control valve data to be linked to calculations, make sure that you map the CV_VALVE_TYPE_ID field in the appropriate import links. Note that there is no system code adaptation for this field since this field is referenced from another table.
