The general rule for scoping is that when selecting items, the software automatically scopes all the related items and all the items that extend up to and including the item power source.  For example, selecting a motor that is connected to a feeder circuit, the software will scope the motor control stations, the motor feeder cable, the feeder circuit, the bus, and the PDB.

You can automate the process of scoping plant items by scoping a composite drawing. Once a composite drawing is scoped, all the plant items that are associated with graphical elements on the drawing are scoped automatically. Furthermore, the parent items of those plant items are also scoped automatically even if the parent items are not on the scoped composite drawing.

The extent of the related items that are scoped along with the main selected item are indicated in the following table.

Main Item

Related Item

Notes

Loads, converting equipment, power sources (generators, battery banks, offsite power)

  • Cables of any category (From / To sides)

  • Control stations and their cables

  • Instruments and their cables

  • I/O signals

  • Associated Circuits, their internals and their PDB-Bus-Cell associations

  • Metering equipment

  • When scoping loads and equipment connected to a bus, the scope includes all the items in the Electrical Engineer branch up to and including the circuit and circuit internals, excluding the PDB and bus and any other irrelevant circuits of that PDB.

  • Any cables connected to the circuit rather than directly to the scoped load will not be scoped with the circuit. Instead, those cables will be scoped with related equipment like control stations.

Power distribution boards

None

  • All buses, circuits and internals, up to the boundary of the PDB have to be scoped separately as they are not included in the scope automatically when scoping a PDB.

  • No associated items external to the PDB items, such as cables or signals associated with the PDB or circuits will be scoped.

Drums

Does not include cables assigned to the drum that have not been scoped.

Cableways

  • All cableway segments

  • Entire cable that is routed through one or more segments of the cableway

Instruments

  • Cables of any category (From / To sides)

  • I/O signals

  • Associated Circuits, their internals and their PDB-Bus-Cell associations

  • Metering equipment

Local panels, junction boxes, cabinets

  • Cables of any category (From / To sides)

  • I/O signals

  • Associated Circuits and their internals

  • Metering equipment

  • To scope space heaters and auxiliary contacts, see Guidelines for Scoping Space Heaters and Auxiliary Contacts.

  • When scoping an item that is connected in parallel with another equipment item, the software automatically scopes all the items that are connected in parallel to the scoped item. For example, if you select Motor-1 that has been connected in parallel with Motor-2 and Motor-3, the software will also automatically scope Motor-2 and Motor-3 together with their upstream items all the way to their power sources.

  • You can scope the same item for more than one project.
