Sets options for general motor properties that identify and characterize the motor. An asterisk beside a property name indicates required data.
Consume
You can use this property for filtering items that you want to appear in the EDE or in reports. The software selects this check box by default when you create a new motor.
Item tag
Identifies the motor. The tag is the name that appears beside the motor in the Electrical Index or the Reference Data Explorer. In the Reference Data Explorer, you must enter a string in this box. In the Electrical Index, the item tag matches the naming convention for the motor. Select the ellipsis button
to open a dialog where you can modify the item tag segments that are editable.
The tag property Comply with Naming Convention determines the behavior of an item tag name. When the property is set to True, the protection masks and segment properties behave according to the settings for
the item naming convention in the Options Manager. When the property is set to False, you can edit the tag name value freely. Whether you set this property to True or False, the software ensures compliance with uniqueness if you set the Is Unique parameter to True in the Item Type Properties option of the Options Manager.
Description
Allows you to type a description of the motor, for information only. Select the ellipsis
button to open a dialog where you can type longer text for the description.
When typing the description in the dialog , to begin a new line, press CTRL + ENTER.
Manufacturer
Allows you to select a manufacturer for the motor. You can define and customize manufacturers in the Data Dictionary Manager.
Model
Allows you to select a motor model. The available models are specific to the manufacturer. You can select a model without selecting a manufacturer. The software then selects the appropriate manufacturer automatically according to the selected model. You can define and customize models in the Data Dictionary Manager.
Process equipment
Allows you to enter a description of the equipment that the motor drives. If the motor was retrieved from Smart P&ID and included an association with an item of process equipment, the software fills this property with the name of the process equipment.
Item status
Allows you to select an appropriate status of the equipment indicating whether the item is active or deleted.
Conformity to standard
Allows you to specify the standard for electrical calculations when you associate a power cable with the motor. The standard affects the sizing calculation that the software uses for an associated cable. The standard options defined in the Data Dictionary Manager are:
National Electrical Code (NEC)
The standard used in the US. When you select the NEC standard, the software allows you to use the NEC lookup tables to automate population of motor data in your plant.
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)
The standard used primarily in Europe.
The conformity to standard also determines the available values of conductor size, frequency, and rated voltage.
Motor design letter
Allows you to select a design letter, which is a standard designation for NEC motors. The design letter provides an indication of the values of various mechanical and electrical characteristics of the motor.
Type
Allows you to enter a description of the type of motor. The software uses this description in filters and reports. You can define and customize types in the Data Dictionary Manager.
Last applied profile
Indicates the last profile that you applied to the motor, if appropriate. This information is read- only.
Last applied typical schematic
Indicates the last typical schematic that you applied to the motor, if appropriate. This information is read-only.
Last applied lookup table
Indicates the last lookup table that you applied to the motor, if appropriate. This information is read-only.
Design type
Allows you to select a standard that specifies the construction of the motor. For example, standards include Totally Enclosed Air Cooled (TEAC) and Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled (TEFC). You can define and customize design types in the Data Dictionary Manager.
Mounting
Allows you to select a standard type of mounting as specified by the vendor for the type of the load or machine. You can define and customize mountings in the Data Dictionary Manager.
Process operational requirements
Allows you to select the operational requirements of the plant in which the motor is located. The following standard system options are available:
Emergency
Normal plant operation
Shutdown
Startup
You can define additional values for this list in the Data Dictionary Manager.
Frame size
Provides a list of US standard values that define the physical and mechanical properties and dimensions of the motor. You can define and customize frame sizes in the Data Dictionary Manager.
Notes
Allows you to enter text, for example, if you want to provide additional information about the motor.
Manage Operating Cases
Opens the Manage Operating Cases dialog where you can add, edit, or delete property values specific to various plant operating cases that exist for the current plant item.
