Introduction to INtools 5.3

Intergraph

Background -INtools?• Becoming a defacto industry standard (as

recent as 2002, Intergraph claimed 75% market share)

• Classified as a BSAP in 2002.

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.

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.

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

Loops

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

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

Hook-up Manager

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

Browser

• Provides additional browsers/views to augment standard module browse/edit screens for all modules

• Supports cross module browers with valid data relationship

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

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
