Adding Pump Equipment Class Properties

After creating the equipment class for a pump (PMP), you need to add the control properties Command and Status.

You might think that each tank would have only one pump. However, for liquid tanks, keep in mind that what goes in must come out, so each tank has an input pump and an output pump. Since you are using the same properties for both input and output, you can use the Pump equipment class for all six devices (three input pumps and three output pumps).

To add Pump equipment class properties:

  1. In Workbench, go to Project Explorer, and expand Assets > Equipment classes > Tank Farm Classes.

  2. Right-click PMP and select Add Equipment class property. The equipment class property pane appears.

  3. For each tab, add the Command property parameters specified in the following table, then click Apply, and then click New.

    Enter or select the following properties…
