The Multiport Valve Operator Data node (the MultiportValveOperatorData sheet in the Bio Pharm Catalog.xls workbook) defines the operator data for each port of a multiport valve. This information is used when the Multiport Valve Op Req in the Piping Commodity Material Control Data specifies that multiport operators are required.

Contractor Commodity Code (Required)

Enter the contractor commodity code, which is the commodity code that is used during the design phase.

The Contractor Commodity Code and the Client Commodity Code properties both must be size-independent or size-dependent. One cannot be size-dependent and the other one be size-independent. In addition, both must include a schedule or neither must include a schedule.

First Size From (Required)

Defines the lower bound of the largest nominal piping diameter for which this operator applies.

First Size To (Required)

Defines the upper bound of the largest nominal piping diameters for which this operator applies.

First Size Units (Required)

Specifies the units for the First Size From and First Size To columns. For example, you could enter in for inches or mm for millimeters.

Multisize Option (Conditionally Required)

Type a string to represent an optional piping commodity selection for multi-sized fittings when the first size and second size are inadequate.

For example, if two additional sizes (2" and 1") are required in addition to a first size of 6" and a second size of 4", the string that would represent the sizes would be 6x4x2x1. The software interprets the string to determine the second size and the number of sizes in addition to the first size and second size. The unit of measure for the first size, defined in the First Size Units column, is used for the string.

Port Number (Required)

Specify the port number on the valve for which the valve operator or actuator applies.

This value is the port number in reference to the symbol. For example, in most manufacturers' catalogs a 5- way diverter valve has the outlet ports numbered 1 through 5. However, most symbols designate 1 as the inlet port. In which case, the outlet ports would be 2 through 6. The port number that you define here is relative to the symbol port numbers. For more information about symbols, refer to the Smart 3D Reference Data Guide.

Second Size From (Conditionally Required)

Defines the lower bound of the next largest nominal piping diameter for which this operator applies.

Second Size To (Conditionally Required)

Defines the upper bound of the next largest nominal piping diameters for which this operator applies.

Second Size Units (Conditionally Required)

Specifies the units for the Second Size From and Second Size To columns. For example, you could enter in for inches or mm for millimeters.

Valve Operator Geometric Ind Std (Optional)

Enter the code that represents the source used in the preparation of the catalog data applicable to the valve operator. Valid codes are listed in the AllCodeLists.xls workbook on the GeometricIndustryStandard sheet in the Codelist Number column.

Valve Operator Number (Required)

Type the unique identification for the valve operator as found in the catalog data and the material control data.

Valve Operator Type (Required)

Enter the code that represents the specific type of valve operator, actuator, or appurtenance. Valid codes are listed in the AllCodeLists.xls workbook on the ValveOperatorType sheet in the Codelist Number column.

You can specify valve accessories using the Port Number and Valve Operator Type. The Port Number value represents the valve port number for which the valve operator or actuator applies. The valve port number can also be used to specify one or more valve accessories for each valve operator or valve actuator. Because the port number must uniquely identify the mounting location of the applicable valve accessory, the port number for a valve accessory must be specified using the following formula:

Accessory Port Number = (Operator/actuator Port Number * 100) + mounting location number

Where the mounting location is specified for each valve operator or valve actuator. The mounting location number is a value of 1 or 2 as indicated by the following figure:

In the following example, the gearbox is the operator and is set to 1. The chainwheel is the accessory, so its value is set to 101 according to the formula.

Valve Symbol

The following methods are available to support valve symbols.

  • GetValveOperatorsForPorts - Retrieves the valveoperator collection for multi-operator cases.

  • GetValveOperatorPartPerPort - Retrieves the valveoperator part given the port number for multi-operator cases.

  • SetMultiPortValveAccColl - Sets the partnumber on the specified port number for multi-operator cases.
