-
In Smart Engineering Manager, under Hierarchy Templates, set up a plant hierarchy with an identical structure to the one in Smart Instrumentation.
-
Create plant groups for Smart Electrical with identical names to the plant hierarchy items in Smart Instrumentation for which you are going to publish and retrieve data.
-
In Smart Electrical, select SmartPlant > Publish Plant Groups.
-
On the Publish to File dialog, specify the folder in which to save the generated .xml files by typing the path in the Folder to save XML files box.
-
In Smart Instrumentation, log in to the default plant of the required domain and retrieve the published .xml file containing the Smart Electrical plant group data and structure.
-
Run the generated tasks from the Smart Instrumentation To Do List to create the target plant hierarchy structure.
-
After you have defined the mapping between the source and target units (or equivalent lowest level plant group) and you have transferred data to Smart Instrumentation, you should not change the target unit mapping definitions, because the data cannot be moved in Smart Instrumentation in certain cases (for example where no naming convention is defined for the target unit).
-
You can create additional units in the Smart Electrical plant group hierarchy if needed. In this case, you must run the Publish Plant Groups command again to create those units in Smart Instrumentation and map them to the Smart Electrical units.
