OpenPlant PID Help

Drivers

Used to place pre-defined driver symbols in the drawing.

Accessed from:

The following gallery displays which can be left floating or docked to the drawing area.

Select the symbol by clicking the item name or the associated icon. After a driver is selected, and prior to placing it in the drawing, OPPID displays the Component Properties dialog prompting you to define a tag number and component properties for the component.

Note: If the Tag Dialog Prompt option is turned off in the PID Document dialog's Settings tab, then a default tag number will be used and the Component Properties dialog does not display. The next available tag number in an incremental sequence is assigned to the component. Properties and tag numbers can be edited in the Properties dialog after placement.

The Drive symbols are placed using a fixed scale size with the ability to rotate the drive into the correct position. The following options are available:

  • Electric Motor
  • Turbine Driver
  • Diesel Engine
