This section explains the basics of how an EPC imports and then exports an offline project.

  1. In Smart Instrumentation Administration module, create a new domain. Use Engineering Company - Project Mode. This is not mandatory but highly recommended.

  2. In the Administration module, log on as the Domain Administrator to your new EPC domain.

  3. In the Access Rights dialog > Domain Level select the required access rights and select Save.

    Select Save even if you have made no changes to the default access rights as this creates the access rights in the database.

  4. In the Project Activities dialog, create a new project and select Apply.

  5. When the creation of the project is complete,select Import and select the .ddti file you require to import.

  6. After selecting the briefcase you require, you must select a Merge Option. In this example we are merging to a new and empty project so use the All Data option.

  7. When the import is completed set the project access rights in the same way you did for the domain access rights.

    Even if no changes were made to the default project access right still select Save.

    The EPC engineers can now start work on there tasks, in our example this would be process data and specifications.

    If there is a need to update the EPC's reference data, the Owner Operator creates a new empty project and exports it to a .ddti file (the empty .ddti file contains only reference data).

    OfflineProj_RefData

    The empty .ddti file is then transfered to the EPC who can load it to any project from the same Domain. It is merged to the project using the All Data option it contains no plant data.

  8. When the work is completed or a review is required by the owner operator of the work done by the EPC. The EPC exports the project to a .ddti file and transfers it to the Owner Operator.
