Types of Information Handled by Off-Site Projects - Intergraph Smart Electrical - Help - Hexagon

Plant items

Data that you create or import into the Electrical Index and use to make electrical relationships in the Electrical Engineer.

Motors and other loads, panels, cables, cableways.

Reference schema items

Template data used to set standards for work performed in the plant and to improve the performance of the plant creation by using a predefined set of data. These items appear in the Reference Data Explorer.

Reference cables, typical blocks, cableway components

Reference data (metadata)

Data that defines the structure or presentation of plant and reference schema items.

Data dictionary, drawing templates, plant reports.

Initial data scoping and transfer to off-site plant

Plant items

User specifies which data to scope in Smart Electrical. User creates package in Smart Engineering Manager for transferring the data to the off-site plant.

Reference schema items

The software copies all reference schema items in the host to the package that the user creates for transferring the plant items.

Reference data (metadata)

The software copies all metadata in the host to the package that the user creates for transferring the plant items.

Data re-scoping

Plant items

User can specify additional data to re-scope in Smart Electrical but cannot de-scope existing items that were previously scoped. User creates package in Smart Engineering Manager for transferring the data to the off-site plant.

Reference schema items

The software re-scopes all new reference schema items related to the plant items that the user has re-scoped. The software includes these reference schema items in the package that the user creates for transferring the plant items.

Reference data (metadata)

No changes to metadata when re-scoping.

Transfer of data back to host

Plant items

User specifies which items to transfer in Smart Electrical by merging those items in the off-site plant. User creates packages in Smart Engineering Manager for transferring the data to the host.

Reference schema items

The software merges all new reference schema items related to the plant items in the package that returns to the host.

Reference data (metadata)

If user edited metadata in the off-site plant, the user must run the Reference Data Synchronization (RDS) Manager for updating the metadata in the host.
