Control Valves Actuator Orientation in Open Plant PowerPID

Hello,

I have attached the image below where i have showed three images as : Image 1, Image 2 & Image 3,

As you can see The Images, Can you please suggest me what i should do in class editor, so that while placing control Valve Actuators it should prompt me the orientation i.e. left and right (As of Now By default it comes on the Left side for Vertical Lines), and also in the case of "Regulator Self Contained" i.e. UP and Down(As of Now By default it comes on the up side for Vertical Lines see image 1).

Regards,

Krishna Natkar.

  • Krishna,

    This can be controlled by editing the schema. Load the OpenPlant_PID schema in the Class Editor and Supplement the schema with the OpenPlant_PID_Supplemental_Imperial schema.

    1. Locate the INLINE_CONTROL_VALVE class.
    2. On the Properties tab select the MIRROR_ENABLED_LOCAL_Y property.
    3. Override the property.
    4. Set the Default Value field in the Property Custom Attribute to True.
    5. Save the schema.

    When you place the valve you will be prompted to select which side of the valve (inlet or outlet) that you want the actuator on. Next the rotation will take over and allow you set the valve on either side of the pipeline.

    The rotation is available in OpenPlant PID build 08.11.10.523.

    I hope this helps,

  • Hi Tony,

    I'm using .427 and this doesn't work for me. I set the mirror x & Y to true. When I insert a control valve, it asks me for the mirror points and rotates the valve, it then opens the valve dialog for the info. After I click OK, it places the valve the way it wants, ignoring my mirror points.

    Any ideas?

  • Gary,
    You will need to upgrade your OpenPlant PID version to SELECTseries 5, version 08.11.10.523
