Note: When you select the area from the dropdown menu, the Unit field will be auto-populated based on that choice. You can also provide information on the work package the tag applies to.
For the remaining part of the Main Details section, there are some variants for different tag types.
-
Loop tags: For loops, a process variable must be selected under the Tag Relationships and Attributes section.
The process variable is a single letter, predefined in the drop-down list:
The Tag Starting Sequence Number is a five-digit number which indicates that the new tag number will use the first available number starting from the specified number (for example, if 71000 is not used, the new tag number will be 71000; if 71000 has been used, then the new tag number will be the next available number, e.g., 71001).
-
Instrument tags: Instrument tags are typically related to loop tags and must have the same sequence number as the loop, so Loop for Instrument Tag must be selected:
Loop for instrument tag can be selected by searching the existing loops:
When there are multiple instruments with the same function code on the same loop, a single letter (A to Z) suffix must be specified for each instrument, for example:
As a result, additional instrument tag can be created:
-
Cable tags: There are three types of cable tags: Communication, Electrical and Instrumentation:
Cable tags follow an ENS that is specific to cables consisting of source tag (1), destination tag (2), cable type (3), cable number (4) and phase. There are two exceptions, Electrical Heat Tracing Cable and Overhead Power Line, which use the typical ENS format:
Cable Type is a single letter, predefined in the dropdown list, and Cable Number is a two-digit integer.
The created cable tag looks as follows:
Phase is a single letter (A, B, C, N), predefined in the dropdown list:
Phase is not a mandatory field, and when a phase is selected, it will be attached to the end of the tag name.
-
Mechanical tags: For mechanical tags, check the field Is Mechanical Equipment List on the tag Main Details page:
The assigned tag number will start at 1 (if the Starting Sequence Number is not specified), or the number specified by the Starting Sequence Number (e.g. Starting Sequence Number is 22222):
Stand-by tags can be added to existing tags by checking the Stand-by tag checkbox:
Then the stand-by tag is created:
-
Other tags: For other tags, keep the checkbox Is Mechanical Equipment List unchecked, so the assigned tag number will start at 70001, (e.g. 123123-BO-70001, 123123BO-70002, 123123-BO-70003...etc.)
For other tags, the Starting Sequence Number cannot be lower than 70000; otherwise the following error reminder will pop up:
Click FINISH.
The new CTA tag is created. It returns to the Tags and Models page and a pop-up notification is displayed in the bottom right corner:
