you want to associate with the item.
9. Click OK.
10. Under Apply to, click
11. all items.
Tip
o If required, you can click Items with no control station to add control
stations only to items that do not have any existing control stations.
12. Under Action, click Add or Replace to determine how the software deals with control
stations that have the same name as existing control stations. This option applies
only if you click All items.
13. Click Apply.

Notes
 You can apply a typical control station to a load, converting equipment item,
disconnect electrical equipment item, a generator, and a battery bank.

9
Smart Plant Electrical
User’s Guide (Basic)

 You can view the control stations associated with an item of electrical equipment by
selecting Common Properties on the shortcut menu for the item, and on the dialog
box that opens, selecting the Controls & Signals tab.
 If you select a reference control station that has one or more associated control
cables, the software creates these cables in the control station that you add to the
project item.
 If you apply control stations to one or more items that are connected to circuits, the
software associates the control station cables (instrumentation and control) with the
circuits automatically when you select the appropriate Options Manager setting. If
you do not use the setting, you need to make the association manually.
 If you modify the components of a reference control station that already has a
reference from an item, the software does not update the change in the reference
until you next apply a profile to the item.

20. APPLY LOOK UP TABLE TO EQUIPMENT.

 Note1 : When you apply data using a lookup table, the software can overwrite
existing data. Since this process is not reversible, you should proceed with
great care.

 Note 2:It is good practice not to include calculated properties in lookup tables.
For example, if the Supply AC/DC Flag property for a motor is set to
DC, and you try to select a value for the Frequency property, you cannot
apply this value and the software rejects the operation. You must first set
Supply AC/DC Flag to AC, and only then you can apply the lookup table
value for the Frequency property to the motor.
 Click Tools > Apply Options.
 On the Apply Options dialog box, click the Lookup Table tab.
 Select Enable lookup table.
 The default lookup table for the equipment type appears in the Lookup table box.
You can select a different profile by performing the following steps.
 Beside the Lookup table box, click Find.
 On the Find dialog box, click Find Now to display the available lookup tables.
 From the list of lookup tables, highlight the lookup table that you want to apply.
 For each item property, the software overwrites existing values if the
value of the Overwrite Option property in the lookup table is set to
True. It is recommended that you view the lookup table before
applying the data to verify which properties the software overwrites.

 Click OK.

21. CREATE A PROFILES TO AN ITEM

 Note 1: Before Creating profile for motor following are the items to be created
in the Reference Data Explorer
 Motor with Rated Power, Rated voltage and No of poles.
 Instrument with cable for RTD,BTD and Differential Protection
Relay

 Reference Cable with Marian code, Maximum Drum Capacity,
Minimum Cable Length to order and gland.

 Note 2: Before associating items check setting in option manager for “connect
cable of control station or instrument to the equipment circuit”. Insure that this
setting is made to be as “YES”

 Note 3: Ensure that you have specified a reference cable for the cable drum
And a Pulling area for both the cable drum and the cables. You must
Also enter values for Minimum cable length to order and Maximum

10
Smart Plant Electrical
User’s Guide (Basic)

Drum capacity - you can enter these values in the Data Dictionary, the
Options Manager project-wide parameters, or in the reference cable
Properties.

Reference Motor Rated Power, Rated Voltage and No of pole.

 Note If your motor is associated with Heater then you have to select motor with
heater as reference item and under the Space Heater tab you need to add associated
Power Cable for Heater.

22. CREATE A ITEMS THROUGH PROFILE

 Note: When you apply a profile to an item, the software can overwrite existing
Data. Since this process is not reversible, you should proceed with great
care.

than one item.
o Click Tools > Apply Options.
o On the Apply Options dialog box, click the Equipment Profile tab.
o Select Enable equipment profile.
o Select number of items to be created.
o The default profile appears in the Create item based on profile box.
o You can select a different profile by performing the following steps.
o Beside Create item based on profile, click Find.
o On the Find dialog box, click Find Now to display the available profiles.
o From the list of profiles, highlight the profile that you want to apply.
o Click OK.
o Under Apply to, select one of the following options according to the rule the
software uses to apply the profile:
• All items - Applies the profile to all the selected items.
• Items with no profile - Applies the profile only to items without an
existing profile. Use this option to add a profile only to new items
among the items that you selected.
• Items with a different profile from the selection - Changes the
profile of the selected items to the current profile. Use this option to
add a profile to items with a modified profile definition.
• Items with the same profile as the selection - Updates an
existing profile for the selected items.

 Click OK.

11
Smart Plant Electrical
User’s Guide (Basic)
