It is very important to adjust the import links so that they match the naming conventions of tags and loops used in the domain into which you are about to import data.

For example, in the Smart Instrumentation demonstration domain, the naming convention structure of conventional instruments is as follows:

101-AAAA-BBBB

In this convention, 101 is the <unit> number prefix, AAAA represents the instrument type segment and BBBB represents the tag number segment; the hyphens are segment separators. Therefore, an instrument with tag number 101FE22212 is represented in the demonstration domain as 101-FE -2212.

Before starting the import setup process, you need to pay attention to the source table columns that construct the source instrument and loop and how they match the Smart Instrumentation instrument and loop data.

When you select an import link that is associated with either instruments or loops, you are prompted to define the naming convention structure.

When redefining the naming convention structure, make sure that no data redundancy is created. Such a redundancy may be caused, for example, if the source table columns use data segments that are shorter than those used in the target table columns. For example, the source tag number 101PS2212 uses only a two-character table column for the instrument type. In Smart Instrumentation, this tag number appears as 101-PS – 2212. This situation may cause a data redundancy problem, since this tag number can stand for either 101-PSH -2212 or 101-PSL-2212.
