SmartPlant Integration means mechanisms by which information from a design tool is delivered to SmartPlant Foundation (SPF). Design tools in this help file refer to the following SmartPlant design tools:
SmartPlant Foundation Consolidated Data Warehouse (CDW)
Central Tag Allocation (CTA) - an authoring domain within SPF
SmartPlant P&ID (SP&ID)
SmartPlant Instrumentation (SPI)
SmartPlant Electrical (SPEL)
Smart 3D (S3D)
Excel publish adaptor for Process Stream Data
Publish adaptor for SPIOP (SmartPlant InterOp Publisher)
The integration mechanisms include revision control of documents and operations for the transfer of information called Publish and Retrieve. These mechanisms function agnostic of the engineering procedures and practices and can be used in different ways to achieve different objectives..
Note: MicroStation process flow diagrams (PFDs), API-driven integrations using extract-transform-load (ETL) methods, such as those with Smart Materials, Smart Completions, and other points of integration are not included here.
