Adding Valve Equipment Class Properties

After creating the equipment class for the valve (VLV), you need to add the control properties Command and Status. As the Valve equipment class uses the same properties as the Pump equipment class, all we need to do is make a copy of the Pump CMD and STS equipment class properties.

To add Valve equipment class properties:

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

  2. Expand the PMP equipment class, then right-click CMD, and select Copy.

  3. Right-click the VLV equipment class and select Paste or use the keyboard command, Ctrl+V. The CMD property appears under the VLV equipment class.

  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the STS equipment class property.
  5. Double-click each new VLV property to display the property pane and make sure that the Description field reflects that it is a Valve parameter, and not a Pump parameter.
  6. Expand Assets > Equipment classes > Tank Farm Classes.
  7. Double-click VLV, select the Parameters tab, and then click Detect. All the valve parameters are listed.
  8. Click Apply & Close. The Valve (VLV) equipment class with properties is complete.
  9. Continue with adding pressure indicator equipment properties.
