In this scenario, you create an instrument composite spec containing two sections: one for a control valve and the other for an I/P transducer. Such a spec can include multiple control valves and I/P transducers belonging to different loops. You use the library form Control Valve/I/P Transducer as a source for creating a new form and assigning a new composite spec page to this form.
-
In the Instrument Index module, or using the Domain Explorer, create a control valve and I/P transducer.
-
On the Specifications Module window menu bar, select Edit > Form Editor.
-
On the Form Editor menu bar, select Actions > Restore Form and then restore form Control Valve/I/P Transducer (form number 90).
When restoring the form, the software restores its page and enables you to work with
sections that this page includes.
-
On the Specifications Module window menu bar, select Edit > Section Editor and modify the fields of the following sections as you require:
-
Control Valve Style3 (item type Instrument)
-
I/P Transducer Style3 (item type Instrument)
-
-
On the Specifications Module window menu bar, select Edit > Page Editor.
-
On the Page Editor menu bar, select Actions > New Composite Page.
-
On the New Composite Page dialog, select Data sections with headers.
-
On the Select Sections for Composite Page dialog, under Multiply sections in generated spec, select From top to bottom, and then select the following sections:
-
Control Valve Style3
-
I/P Transducer Style3
When you select a section multiplying option, you determine how the software multiplies
sections in a generated composite spec. In a generated spec, if you assigned more
than one instrument to a section, the software multiplies this section on the spec
as many times as the number of assigned instruments. You set a section multiplying
option only once and cannot change it after you open and save the current spec page
in the Page Editor. This setting applies to all the sections you add in the current spec page.
-
-
In the Page Editor working area, position the sections one under the other, within the page borders.
-
Save the page with the name CV/I/P Transducer Test.
-
Open the Form Editor and select Actions > New Form, select the Control Valve/I/P Transducer page for the form, and then name the new form as CV/I/P Transducer Test and specify a form number.
-
On the Specifications Module window menu bar, select Actions > Open Specification and do the following:
-
From the Item type list, select Instrument.
-
In the Item number box, enter the tag number of the control valve you created.
-
In the Form number box, enter the number of the CV/I/P Transducer Test form and select OK.
-
On the New Composite Specification dialog, beside I/P Transducer Style1, select Assign and assign your I/P transducer to the I/P Transducer Style1 section.
-
Select OK to generate and open an instrument composite specification.
