1. Introduction to INtools 5.3
Intergraph
Sample notes

2. Background -INtools?
Becoming a defacto industry standard (as recent as 2002, Intergraph claimed 75% market share)
Classified as a BSAP in 2002.

3. What is INtools?
An “instrumentation design and engineering software suite”
Modules for instrument index, specifications, process data, wiring, loop drawings, and hook-ups
Runs on Oracle and Microsoft Windows family of operating systems.

5. Domain - Plant – Area - Unit
INtools is setup using a Domain, Plant, Area and Unit scheme
Used to logically segregate data
Domain = Project or Operating Company
Plant = Plant name or location
Area and Unit = Process system or physical entity

8. Instrument Index Window
Adds a new tag
Edits the properties of a tag
Duplicates a tag
Creates a new loop
Edits a loop
Duplicates loop
Renames a loop
Opens the Browse Window
An Intools instrument index window appears on selecting instrument index module of Intools
At the bottom of the screen several icons are provided and their functions are
New Tag : Adds a new tag to the current domain
Edit Tag : Edits the properties of a tag number selected in the Enter Tag dialog box.
Duplicate Tag : Duplicates a tag selected in the Enter Tag dialog box.
New Loop : Creates a new loop by duplicating the properties of an existing loop
Rename Loop : Renames a loop number.
Browse : Opens the Browse window.
A typical INtools instrument index window appears on selecting instrument index module

10. Instrument Index Features
Produces instrument index
Single record editor
Multi-record editor
Instrument profiles
Rename Tag or Loop
Duplicate/Copy Tag or Loop

11. Instrument Types

12. Creating tags … Contd. Enter the tag number and Click OK
The New Tag No. dialog box opens.
Assign the Level Transmitter LT 130 tag number and press OK
Another dialog box I.e. Select Instrument Type for LT 130 opens. Instrument type for the Process Function Level can be of several type. In this case select D/P type Level transmitter and click OK
Select instrument type
… Contd.

16. Spec Sheet Features Instrument data sheets
Primarily single tag. A Format is configured for multi-tag.
Data can be exchanged w/vendors using External Editor
Minor customization of datasheet form from within INtools, i.e. Width, Text Labels, Re-arrangement
Major customization requires InfoMaker, i.e. new fields, new look and feel, etc.

21. Multi-Item Spec Sheet Forms

22. Wiring Module Features
Highly graphical
Uses drag and drop
Has 4 “managers”
Default Panel-typical panels
Panel – actual panels
Default Cable - cable code
Cable - actual cables
Marshalling Panel cross wiring
Anything with a terminal is considered a panel
Propagates instrument tag as the wire tag
Naming convention for both cables and panels
Cable reports
Termination / box reports
No raceways

Terminations

30. Loop Drawings – Enhanced Smart Loop
Uses the Smart Sketch engine
Highly customizable
Auto-generated using wiring data from the Wiring Module
Initial layout is automatic. Need to “fix” and save as a “template”
Only tags with wiring are shown on the loop. All other tags are shown as a reference only.
Uses macros for data retrieval
Can not add new macros

31. Hook-up Module Generates instrument installation detail drawings
Supports any number of hook-up types. Bechtel standard drawing types supports only 5:
pneumatic, process connection, support, electrical connection and heat trace plus a Miscellaneous
Uses a template method for drawing generation
Hook-up items = Bechtel stock codes

32. Hook-up Manager

33. Hook-up Module Has a BOM Calculation sub-module. i.e. MTOs
MTO results can not be saved electronically and is not used for INtools to BPS bulk data exchange
BOM calcs only for details with assigned tags
Non-tagged based bulks manually tracked against “virtual” location plan detail drawings
There is no bulk material requisition capability
Item List Library = Stock Code Library

34. Browser
Provides additional browsers/views to augment standard module browse/edit screens for all modules
Supports cross module browers with valid data relationship

38. Process Data
Entered against process lines and instruments assigned to a line “inherit” the line’s process data
Entered against specific instruments
Process datasheets can be issued to process via External editor

39. Calculation Four overall types
Flow meters, control valve, relief valve and thermowells
General position/recommendation is not to use
Intergraph unwilling to certify
Bechtel would have to certify each new INtools version
Control valve and relief valve need to account for vendor specific charactistics. Best to use vendor calculations.
Flowel is certified.
Flow meter would require certifying 150 different calcs
If required by client, project to validate calcs used
