Connect Field Instrument Cables in Batch Mode - Intergraph Smart Instrumentation - 13.1 - Training - Intergraph Process, Power & Marine Documentation

In the previous exercise, you learned how to connect a single cable to a junction box. Now we will show you how to connect multiple device cables in batch mode. Let's connect all the remaining "single" cables to the same junction box.

1. With the Connection – 101-JB-DCS-001, TS-1 window open, on the Actions menu, click Batch Connection to open the Batch Device Cable Connection window.

2. In the Domain Explorer, select the Cables folder.

3. Select Cable C-101-FT-102, hold down CTRL then scroll down the device cable list and select cables C-101-FY-100 and C-101-PT-201.

   You can include any other cables that you have.

4. Drag the selected device cables from the Domain Explorer to the data window of Batch Device Cable Connections.

5. For cable 101-FT- 102 in the Connection Type column, select 3 in a row.

6. Click Yes if prompted to apply the connection type to all sets except for shields.
