Create phase class, phase, select unit
Use these instructions if you want to create a new phase class, phase and select a unit instead of associating the phase with a phase class that exists in the area model.
To create a new phase class, phase, and select a unit:
- In the box beneath thePhaseslist, enter a name for the new phase class. A list of units displays in theUnitsbox.
- Select an icon to represent the new phase.
- In theUnitsbox, select a unit to contain the new phase.TIP:Only units that do not contain a phase based on the selected phase class are displayed, unless the selected phase class is a material-based phase class. A unit can only contain one phase based on a specific phase class, with the exception of material-based phase classes. Multiple phases based on a specific material-based phase class can be added in one unit.
- SelectContinue. If selected aResolutionofCreate in Area Modelfor more than one phase, theSelect Phase and Unitdialog box displays again for the next phase.Repeat steps 1 - 4 or seeSelect a phase and unitto select an existing phase class for the next phase.When synchronization of all selected phases is complete, theSynchronization Results Summary For Server:<data server name>dialog box opens.TIP:IfFaileddisplays in theResultcolumn, the reason displays in theAdditional Informationcolumn.
- Review the displayed results of the synchronization. Phases that have aResultofSuccessfulwere created in the area model. Additionally, the phase name selected for the phase and the new Equipment ID are returned to theLogix Designerproject file.
- If satisfied with the results, selectYesto save theLogix Designerproject file.TIP:If not satisfied with the results, selectNo. The synchronization changes arenotsaved in theLogix Designerproject file.Thetimeandstatusof the synchronization displays in theSynchronize Logix5000 Data Serverswindow.Status of Last SynchronizationStatus of Last SynchronizationDescriptionCompleteAll Results wereSuccessful,andYeswas selected to save the project file.IncompleteSome Results wereFailed,Skipped, orNowas selected to not save the project file.Never SynchronizedNever been an attempt to synchronize the data server.
- Select a data server and selectContinueto begin the synchronization process again, or if finished synchronizing, selectClose. TheSave After Synchronizationdialog box opens if changes were made to the area model.
- SelectSaveto open theSave Asdialog box and save the area model. Overwrite the area model or save it with a different name.
- The phase class and new phase are added to the area model. View the new phase by navigating to the unit selected in step 3.
