Building Object Types
500 3BDS011222-510 B
When you create a formal instance list, Plant Explorer will automatically insert the
top-level type object below the formal instance list. Since the objects below the
formal instance lists defines the complete wanted object hierarchy we must include
also the top object.
It is allowed to remove the inserted top object if we only want to insert some child
objects in a specific structure. This is often the case for the Location Structure,
where we in our case only want to place the flow transmitter and the transfer pump,
and not the drain system itself.
3. The first time the child objects are used, they are created in the New Object
dialog. You create them in the same way as you create instances in other
structures. But if you want to place a child object below several formal instance
lists, you must use the Insert Object dialog to place them at the additional
places. You can also just drag a child object to the new place while you have
<SHIFT+CTRL> pressed.
In this example we first create the child objects for the Functional Structure.
We then remove the Drain System object from the Location Structure formal
instance list, and insert the child objects Flow Transmitter and the Transfer Pump
instead. The final result is shown in Figure 306.
