  1. Create design objects for the following classes to use in the exercises to come:
    Class Design Object ID Description
    PUMP CENTRIFUGAL PM-312-PA-001 Pulp Pump 1
    PUMP CENTRIFUGAL PM-312-PA-003 Fresh Water Feed Pump
    PUMP CENTRIFUGAL PM-312-PA-004 Pulp Feed Pump to Filter

General exercise for Creating a Design Object.

Defining System Variables

Purpose: The purpose of this exercise is to create system variables for the Check Record 1 and Check Record 2 technical attributes in order to be able to define check record values for design objects of a particular standard and plant and to generate check record specifications for objects of the defined standard and plant.

Windows:
System Variables

  1. Create system variables for check record 1 and check record 2 attributes.
    Standard Plant Name Value Description
    CompanyName_standard CompanyName_plant $check record1 attribut 000000000005704 Check Record 1
    CompanyName_standard CompanyName_plant $check record2 attribut 000000000005711 Check Record 2

(where CompanyName is the name of your company or similar)

Note: The values entered in the Value field should be the same as defined for the Check Record Technical Attributes on the Attributes tab of the Technical Classes and Attributes window. These technical attribute values are system defined during the installation of IFS/Asset Design.

Creating a Component Specification Template

Purpose: The purpose of this exercise is to create a component specification template that can be used for generating an MC Package Specification.

Windows:
Microsoft Excel

  1. Create a My Centrifugal Pump Template component specification template. 

General exercise for Creating a New Component Specification Template.

Main Exercises

Purpose: The purpose of these lessons is to prepare and executing commissioning through the creation of a commissioning package and MC package that belongs to the commissioning package, any by connecting design objects to MC packages, defining check record values for the design objects and generating an MC package specification.

Windows:

Creating a Commissioning Package

  1. Open the Design Object window.
  2. Click New to create a new record.
  3. In the Plant field, select CompanyName_plant (where CompanyName is the name of your company or similar) from the List of Values. If a user default plant has been specified, the name of this plant will be suggested at new entry.
  4. In the Class field, select COMMISSIONING PACKAGE.
  5. In the Object ID field, enter Q10092.
  6. In the Description field, enter MCC for P&ID PS-1002-1.
  7. Click Save.

Creating a MC Package for a Commissioning Package

  1. Open the Design Object window.
  2. Click New to create a new record.
  3. In the Plant field, select CompanyName_plant (where CompanyName is the name of your company or similar) from the List of Values. If a user default plant has been specified, the name of this plant will be suggested at new entry.
  4. In the Class field, select MC PACKAGE.
  5. In the Object ID field, enter Q10092-001. The first part is from the parent Commissioning Package ID and the second part will be the unique MC Package object's ID.
  6. In the Description field, enter Process and Mechanical Package.
  7. Click the Relations tab.
  8. In the Functional Parent field, use the list of values to select the commissioning package with Object ID Q10092.
  9. Click Save.

Connecting Design Objects to a MC Package

  1. Open the Design Object Connections window.
  2. Click New to create a new record.
  3. In the Plant field, select CompanyName_plant (where CompanyName is the name of your company or similar) from the List of Values. If a user default plant has been specified, the name of this plant will be suggested at new entry.
  4. In the Object ID field, enter Q10092-001, the identity of the MC Package from which the connection originates.
  5. In the Object Connection Description field, use the List of Values to select the MC Package Consists of connection type.
  6. In the Sort Order field, enter 1, the number for the order in which design object connections will be displayed in the window.
  7. In the Connected Object ID field, enter PM-312-PA-001, the identity of the design object to be included in the MC Package.
  8. Repeat steps 3-7 to connect objects as follows:
    Plant Object ID Object Connection Description Sort Order Connected Object ID
    CompanyName_plant Q10092-001 MC Package Consists of 2 PM-312-PA-003
    CompanyName_plant Q10092-001 MC Package Consists of 3 PM-312-PA-004
  9. Click Save.

Defining Check Record Values for Design Objects

  1. Open the Design Object window.
  2. Search for the PM-312-PA-001, PM-312-PA-003 and PM-312-PA-004 objects for which you want to enter MC check record values.
  3. In Attachments/Characteristics, enter the value for MCCR-R-02 for the Check Record 1 attributes. This value corresponds to sheets in your template. The sample IFS MCC Component Specification template contains this value.  
  4. Right-click and Save Attributes.

Generating an MC Package Specification

  1. Open the Design Object Connections window.
  2. Search for the objects registered with the MC Package consists of relation. Alternatively you can find the objects connected to an MC Package in the Business Object Explorer.
  3. Select one or more result records, right-click and click Create Component Specification.
  4. In the MS Excel New dialog box, select the My Centrifugal Pump Template with the predefined MC check record specifications.
  5. Click OK.
