Use this procedure to import Masoneilan ValSpeQ sizing and specification data from the ASCII file you previously exported from Masoneilan ValSpeQ. You can use this procedure when importing Masoneilan ValSpeQ data whether for the first time or after a previous import.

  • Before using this procedure, make sure you meet all the prerequisites. For details, see Prerequisites for Importing Masoneilan ValSpeQ Data.

  • When importing Masoneilan ValSpeQ data, you must always use the Masoneilan interface to connect to the source data files before you can run the links from the Link Explorer. You cannot create and run links outside of the interface.

  1. On the Link Explorer menu, select Options > Masoneilan.

  2. On the Masoneilan dialog, do one of the following:

    • If you want to import data to control valve specifications based on standard form 1 only, beside Source file for Spec #1, select Browse and select the .csv ASCII file containing the appropriate data exported from Masoneilan.

    • If you want to import data to control valve specifications based on special form 75 only, Source file for Spec #75, select Browse and select the .csv ASCII file containing the appropriate data exported from Masoneilan.

    • If you want to import data to control valve specifications based on forms 1 and 75, specify both source files.

    SHARED Tip Spec form 75 is a Smart Instrumentation library form designed for printing out control valve data imported from Masoneilan ValSpeQ as an ISA specification. The specification printout is identical to the one generated by Masoneilan, yet retains the Smart Instrumentation revision system.

  3. Select Open to display the file name and path on the Masoneilan dialog.

  4. Do one of the following:

    • If you are importing Masoneilan ValSpeQ data into Smart Instrumentation for the very first time, select Insert new data.

    • If you previously imported Masoneilan ValSpeQ data into Smart Instrumentation and you only need to update the existing sizing data in the target database, clear Insert new data.

  5. Select Run link group automatically to select a link group and run all the links in it automatically.

    OR

    Clear Run link group automatically if you need to modify any of the links before importing the data.

  6. On the Masoneilan dialog, select OK.

  7. Do one of the following:

    • If you selected Run link group automatically, on the Select Link Group dialog, which opens automatically, select the appropriate group of Masoneilan ValSpeQ links and select OK to start the import process.

    • If you cleared Run link group automatically, after the Masoneilan dialog minimizes, open the appropriate link in the Import Link window and then modify the field mapping as you require. Then, start the import process by selecting in the Import Link window.

  8. If notified that the link requires system codes, select OK in the message box, and then, do the following:

    1. On the Source System List dialog, which opens automatically, select the Masoneilan system codes, which the Domain Administrator imported from the In_ctlog.ddti file.

    2. Select OK to continue the import process.

      SHARED Tip When running the first import session, the software prompts you to select the source system codes because, for each Masoneilan ValSpeQ import link, on the Source tab of the Link Properties dialog, the Use system codes check box is selected.

  9. After performing the data import, open Smart Instrumentation and examine the imported data in the Instrument Index, Process Data, and Specification modules.
