Background
In OPPID, when control valve is placed an actuator is also placed with it and control valve's tag is annotated on the instrument bubble but if user also wants a separate tag for actuator then there is no direct way because there is no relationship between the valve and actuator. Since actuator is a part of Valve cell and not a separate instance therefore we need an indirect way of annotating the actuator with different tag.
Steps to Accomplish
- Open class editor and load OpenPlant_PID schema.
- Supplement it with OpenPlant_PID_Supplemental_Design.01.08.ecschema
- Go to Instrument class and create new property 'ACTUATOR_NUMBER'.
- Create another property ACTUATOR_TAG on Instrument class.
- Add a Calculated EC Property Specification attribute on ACTUATOR_TAG property and set EC Expression as highlighted below.
EC Expression: this.NAME & "-" & this.ACTUATOR_NUMBER - Add Annotation Custom Attribute and set the count to 1 as shown in the image below.
- Save the changes in schema and verify the result in OPPID.
