Associate a P&ID in Instrument and wiring without Autoplan P&ID

Hi,

I'm new using Instrument and Wiring tool, in the company we have the autoplan suite with the following applications:

- Autoplan Modeler

- Data manager.

- Document Manager

- Instrumentation & Wiring

- Vision

I need to associate a P&ID number, and a line number or equipment number to each instrument, however i can't find a way to achieve this... i try to create a dump P&ID document in the document manager and create a line number in data manager, but i can't associate these with the instrument.

Regards,

Jhonatan

  • Hi Davendra,

    In the Company we are committed to use the Autoplan suite for improve productivity. I belong to the Automation and Instruments department and initially our objective is to make an instruments list with the following fields (with others not shown):

    • Instrument tag number
    • Instrument description
    • Loop number
    • Instrument range
    • Service
    • Requisition number (document number of the requisition)
    • Datasheet number (document number of the datasheet)
    • Line number
    • Equipment number
    • P&ID number

    By now we’ll not use Autoplant P&ID or Autoplant modeler, we just want introduce the information manually in the database to generate some deliverables, however I found difficult to associate the highlighted fields for each instrument, I create the lines and equipment numbers (or tags) using the data manager and some P&ID documents in the document manager but I can’t link these with the respective instrument to signify that the instrument will be installed in that line or that equipment and belong to that P&ID.

    Regards,
