The software allows you to associate lookup tables with circuit internal components. You can make this association on the Typical Circuit Common Properties dialog in the Reference Data Explorer and then apply that typical circuit to a number of plant circuits. Alternatively, you can make this association on the Circuit Common Properties dialog for a circuit that you select in the Electrical Index and then run the Apply Lookup Tables feature on the Apply Options dialog to propagate the lookup table data to the circuit internal components.
-
In the Reference Data Explorer, expand the Lookup Tables folder by selecting the + icon beside the folder.
-
Right-click the folder for a circuit internal component (for example, Circuit Breakers, Fuses, and so on) and then select New.
-
Accept the default item tag or type a name of up to 80 characters for the item lookup table.
If you are creating a number of lookup tables at one time, you might want to stop
at this point and edit the lookup table properties at a later stage.
-
On the Lookup Table Properties dialog, edit the lookup table properties as required. For more details, see Edit Lookup Tables.
-
Create or edit the properties of a typical circuit in the Reference Data Explorer. For details, see Create a Typical Circuit.
-
On the Typical Circuit Common Properties dialog, under Details of circuit internals, select an appropriate lookup table from Lookup Table list.
-
In the Electrical Index, select a plant circuit to which you want to apply a lookup table.
-
Select Tools > Apply Options.
-
On the Apply Options dialog, select the Lookup Tables tab.
-
Select the Enable associated lookup tables of circuit internals check box.
-
Select Apply.
-
On the Preferences dialog, General tab, under Open after creating or duplicating an item, you can specify whether to open the Item Tag dialog when you create a new lookup table.
-
You access the Lookup Table Properties dialog by selecting the Common Properties command on the shortcut menu or you can specify in the preferences to open the dialog directly when you create a new lookup table.
