Imaging the plant structure
In order to image the plant structure in ADDM, create a corresponding directory for
each level of your production facility.
Construct it using the following hierarchy:
Plant – Area – Subarea – Unit.
For example, the highest level, "Plant”, represents the entire works.
The "Areas” level contains the New hall, Old hall and the Warehouse.
In this example, the "Subarea” level consists of production line 1, production line 2
and the stacking facility.
The lowest level of the tree represents the individual "Units” (or machines).
Elements on the lowest level are also referred to as physical assets in this
connection.
The designation of each tree entry can be freely selected in the "Object
properties"context menu.
Copying/insert a subproject
You spool a complete ADDM project onto an exchangeable data carrier as follows,
see subsection,1.3.2 Backup concept:
1. Select the Project functions → copy/insert subproject.
2. Select the target directory on the removable data carrier.
This ensures that the data carrier contains the ADDM project (plant
topology) and the STEP7 projects.
Copying/insert a subproject
You copy a subproject or a unit as an other ADDM project:
1. Select the subproject or the unit.
2. Select the Project functions → copy/insert subproject.
3. Select the target/source in the target/source project.
