Before importing wiring equipment, make sure you first import or create all the target panels. In Smart Instrumentation, wiring equipment is a child item of a panel.

  1. Create a link group for placing the link you are going to create and links defined for panels and their constituents, such as terminal strips and terminals.

  2. On the Link Definitions dialog, create an import link for panels as follows:

    1. In the Link box, type a unique link name, for example Wiring Equipment.

    2. Under Import method, select Single table.

    3. Under Name of module or table, select APPARATUS.

    4. Complete the import link creation.

  3. Open the Link Properties dialog, and, on the General tab, do the following:

    1. Make sure that Import to supporting tables is cleared.

    2. Under Undefined NOT NULL fields, select Reject rows.

    SHARED Tip Selecting Reject rows is recommended to set the software to reject all source values that do not match foreign key values in the APPARATUS table. For example, if a wiring equipment model in your source does not match the model that already exists in Smart Instrumentation, the software indicates that this model does not exist. If you select the Use default value, in the APPARATUS table, the Import Utility will enter 0 (zero) values in all the columns whose values do not match the values in the import source.

  4. On the Link Properties dialog, select Table Definition and do the following:

    1. On the Table Definition dialog, select Definition.

    2. On the Table Definition Name dialog, select the definition that you require.

    SHARED Tip If you do not find the definition that you require, you can create a new definition based on the Default definition. For details, see Create a Table Definition Based on Another Definition.

  5. In the Import Link window, open the import link.

  6. In the Target pane, define the import mapping as follows:

    1. Select the APPAR_NAME row, and then, from the Source pane, drag the column containing the wiring equipment names.

    2. Depending on your table definition, map the remaining required columns marked in red bold.

    3. Depending on your source wiring equipment type, define a mapping value for the CATEGORY NAME/APPAR_CAT_ID column. For example, a Fieldbus Brick mapping value = 8 while an I/O Card mapping value = 1. For details, see Mapping Codes for Wiring Data Import.

    4. For the DEF_FLG flag, type N so that in Smart Instrumentation, the imported panels appear in the Domain Explorer.

    SHARED Tip If you define Y as a mapping value for the DEF_FLG flag, in Smart Instrumentation, the imported items appear in the Reference Explorer.

  7. If needed, complete the import mapping by dragging the appropriate column names from the Source pane or by entering strings or values in the fields in the Target pane.

  8. If you have not imported panels yet, do the following:

    1. Add the created Wiring Equipment link into the group containing the link defined for importing panels.

    2. Prioritize the links so the Wiring Equipment link appears under the links defined for panels. For details, see Prioritize Links in a Link Group.

    3. Run the links in this order.
