1. SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
Designed to automate the report generation from diagrams and to draw them using a symbol library.
The data base module works with an off line copy of the diagrams contents and automatically updates itself.
The way the graphic files interact with the data base module, assures great consistency in report generation and allow to automatically integrating hundreds of diagrams.
2. SYMBOLS & STANDARDS
EPLANT-P&ID has a large graphic symbol library, modifiable by the user. Symbols inserted on flow lines automatically orientate themselves, break the lines and associate with it.
The user can specify which information is automatically copied to the data base module and modify all report formats.
3. CONNECTIVITY
EPLANT-P&ID allows to easily define and modify topology (path of a flowline, etc.) and connectivity (source and destination of a line, line or equipment associated to an instrument, etc.) at any stage of the drawing.
4. TEXTUAL INFORMATION
Identification text in P&IDs is loaded into the graphic file as attributes. Powerful attribute utility commands increase drafting productivity.
5. CONSISTENCY
Data can be only modified at its source place. For example, the line number and its ends must be modified in the corresponding P&ID and not directly in the line list, which is only a byproduct of the diagram. This architecture ensures consistency to the whole project.
Equipment and stream information contained in Flow Diagrams are automatically merged into P&ID data bases. Information is stored in only one place, but referenced, for convenience, in many different documents at a time.
6. DIAGRAMS CONTINUATION
Each line is traced among all diagrams in that can cross. When crossing a diagram border a continuation label is placed. The system verifies the correct references in those labels against the referenced diagram number.
