Offline Instruments (SCOINS)
SCOINS represents the Schematic Offline Instrument
An Offline Instrument can be connected to:
•
equipments
•
sub-equipments
•
other offline instruments
•
actuators
•
valves
•
fittings
•
tubes
•
ducts
•
HVAC fittings
•
nozzles
Note:
Connection of offline instrument to nozzle is not supported by Schematic 3D Integrator and therefore will not be properly modelled in 3D. For that reason it is recommended to use inline instruments connecting to nozzles instead.
To create an offline instrument:
1.
First, drag an offline instrument shape from the stencil onto the drawing.
2.
Second, drag the control handle and connect it to an inline fitting.
3.
The instrument is now connected to the fitting.
It is also possible to have connection points on the off-line instrument, allowing control lines
to be attached to it as can be seen in the example below:
It is also possible to connect two offline instruments directly, i.e. connect some alarms. To achieve this the connection points have to be added as shown below:
The offline instrument has to be dragged with the outward connection point to offline instrument with the inward connection point.
