IPID – Process Flow Sheets with a Database Foundation

With the IP&ID (Intelligent Process & Instrumentation Diagram) package, process schematics and flow sheets can be created quickly and easily. Users can choose between standard DIN- and ANSI-based libraries which can be supplemented with user-created symbols.

All attribute information, such as nominal pressure and diameter is stored and managed in the database. Data changes are especially easy to make with IP&ID.

Multiple symbols can be combined to form functional groups, such as pumping and metering stations. These “typicals” can also be copied into other projects, preserving all information.

Extensive lists for pipes, fittings, instrumentation and control can be created easily and automatically. Data from other database systems can be integrated with the specifications.

IP&ID is closely coupled with Vectorpipe; they share the same database schema. Objects that were created in IP&ID are immediately available in Vectorpipe. The feature is especially useful with valves and instruments. Data can be rapidly adopted and exchange errors are avoided.

Application Highlights:

• Extensive DIN- and ANSI-based symbol libraries
• User-definable icons
• Extensive customization capabilities
• Shared data basis with 3-D Vectorpipe
• On-line Database access to Oracle®
