Assigning Design Part Codes to a Design Part

  1. Open the Design Part window and search for the design part with design part ID: 2095642.
  2. Click the Codes tab.
  3. In the Code Collection field use the List of Values to define the code collection value as IFS_STD.
  4. In the Code 1 field, use the List of Values to select the value, 230V, and then click OK.
  5. In the Code 2 field, use the List of Values to select the value, Eff75 and then click OK.
  6. In the Code 3 field, use the List of Values to select the value rpm1500/4 and then click OK.
  7. In the Code 4 field, use the List of Values to select the value Flange and then click OK.
  8. Click Save.

Assigning Design Part Codes to an Object

  1. Open the Design Object window and query for the MDC5001 design object.
  2. Click the Relations tab.
  3. In the Code 1 field, use the List of Values to select the value, 230V, and then click OK.
  4. In the Code 2 field, use the List of Values to select the value, Eff75 and then click OK.
  5. In the Code 3 field, use the List of Values to select the value rpm1500/4 and then click OK.
  6. In the Code 4 field, use the List of Values to select the value Flange and then click OK.
  7. Click Save.

Note: The design part codes available in the List of Values are those available for the default code collection, specified in the System Variables window, and those also specified for that code collection on the class of the design object. By assigning design part codes, the object is enabled for design part allocation.

Allocating a Design Part to an Object

  1. Open the Design Object window, for the design object in the previous exercise, right click and then click Allocate Design Parts to open the Allocate Design Parts dialog box.
  2. From the dialog box list, select IFS_STD, if not already selected.
  3. Click OK to match and allocate the design part to the object.
  4. Check the design part allocation from the:

Note: If you experience problems with design part allocation, refer to the lesson's troubleshooting section.

Allocating to Multiple Objects

  1. Open the Design Parts window and search for the design parts with design part IDs: 2095643, 2095644 and 2095645.
  2. Register the following design part codes to the new design parts:
Object ID Code 1 Code 2 Code 3 Code 4
2095643 400V rpm1500/2
2095644 400V Eff95
2095645 400V rpm3000/2
  1. Click Save. 
  2. Open the Design Objects window and search for the design objects with design object IDs: MDC5002, MDC5003, MDC5004 and MDC5005.
  3. Register the following design part codes to the new design objects:
Object ID Code 1 Code 2 Code 3 Code 4
MDC5001 400V rpm1500/2
MDC5002 400V rpm1500/2
MDC5003 400V rpm3000/2
MDC5004 400V rpm3000/2
MDC5005 400V rpm3000/2
  1. Click Save.
  2. Select the five rows containing the new objects, right-click and click Allocate Design Parts to open a dialog box.
  3. From the dialog box list, select IFS_STD (if not already selected).
  4. Click OK to match and allocate design part(s) to the objects.
  5. Check the design part allocation from the:

Note: Because the objects were given different design part codes, they were allocated different design parts: 2095643 and 2095645.

Reallocating to Multiple Objects

  1. Open the Design Objects window and search for the objects of the MOTOR DC class.
  2. Change the design part codes of the following objects as shown in the table below:
    Object ID Code 1 Code 2 Code 3 Code 4
    MDC5001 400V Eff95
    MDC5002 400V Eff95
    MDC5003 400V Eff95
    MDC5004 400V Eff95
    MDC5005 400V Eff95
  3. Select the five rows containing the new objects, right-click and then click Allocate Design Parts to open the Allocate Design Parts dialog box.
  4. From the dialog box list, select IFS_STD, if not already selected.
  5. Select Reallocate.
  6. Click OK to reallocate the design parts, replacing the design parts currently connected to the objects.
  7. Check the design part reallocation from the Design Part field in the Design Objects window. The connected design part for the five objects has been changed to 2095644.

Connecting a Design Part to an Object

  1. Open the Design Object window and search for the object with Object ID: PM-312-PA-002-EC02-M-01.
  2. Click the Relations tab.
  3. In the Design Part field, click the List of Values to view the design parts suitable for the motor object. 
  4. Select the design part with Design Part ID 10326823, and click OK.
  5. Click Save.

Alternatively you can connect a design part to a design object via Drag and Drop:

  1. On the Business Object Explorer, navigate to and highlight the design part, and hold down the left mouse button.
  2. Drag the design part through the navigator structure, opening nodes as required to locate the object. 
  3. Place the mouse pointer (with connected design part) over another object's Design Parts folder.
  4. Drop the design part onto the folder by releasing the mouse button.
