In the current version of the software, integration with ABE is supported for equipment and streams only. The software uses a read-only property in Smart P&ID, Source Tag, to maintain the relationship between the ABE source items and the items generated in Smart P&ID. The value of Source Tag is derived from the following ABE properties:

  • ItemNumber for equipment.

  • StreamNumber for streams.

Smart P&ID items that are created from a single ABE source item and share the same ABE Source Tag property are called related items. If changes are made in the ABE source item, new tasks are generated in the To Do List which, when executed, synchronize those changes in the related items.

To ensure that that the relationship to the ABE source item is restricted only to the related items, the value of the Source Tag property is not copied to new items generated as a result of any of the following actions:

  • In the Smart P&ID modeler, when copying an item with ABE properties in the active drawing.

  • In Drawing Manager, when copying a drawing containing items with ABE properties within a plant.

  • In Drawing Manager, when importing a drawing containing items with ABE properties from a different plant or within a plant.

Equipment naming convention

For equipment, a single ABE source item usually results in the generation of more than one related item in Smart P&ID. These items can be symbols or main assembly items.

The following ABE properties are used to determine the equipment Item Tag property value and the number of related items that need to be created, with equivalent Smart P&ID properties (if existing) shown in parentheses:

  • NamePrecedent (Tag Prefix)

  • ItemSequenceNumber (Sequence No.)

  • NumberRequired

A separate task is generated for each related equipment item in the To Do List. When new items are created, if the total number of required items is greater than 1, their Item Tag properties include an alphabetical suffix according to the value of NumberRequired, in sequential progression A, B, C... .

Equipment example

Consider a newly-created ABE item with the following properties:

  • ItemNumber = P-100 SRC

  • NamePrecedent = P

  • ItemSequenceNumber = 100

  • NumberRequired = 4

This ABE item will generate 4 Create tasks in the To Do List. When these tasks are run, they will result in the creation of Smart P&ID items with the following Item Tag values:

  • P-100A

  • P-100B

  • P-100C

  • P-100D

Because all four items are assigned to a single ABE source item, they are related items with the same Source Tag = P-100 SRC and they will be synchronized with any modifications made to the ABE source item. All the properties of the related items are identical except for the Item Tag values, which differ by the sequential alphabetical suffixes as shown.

Streams

For streams, there is one-on-one mapping between the ABE source item and the related item (pipe-run) in Smart P&ID. The value of the StreamNumber property in ABE is copied to the Stream No. property in Smart P&ID.
