Instrument Designer
The Instrument Designer User Guide is designed to help the user learn Instrument Designer in just a
short amount of time. Along the way, the user will learn the basic steps of creating automated Loop
and Termination diagrams from cable and wiring data and also learn from tips so you can be really
productive with Instrument Designer.

Aim
Instrument Designer manages all tasks typically handled by an Instrument Designer during a project
life cycle. The aim of this course is to show trainees how to accomplish these tasks using Instrument
Designer.
This training includes CAD drawing generation, drawing list management, updating of revisions and
printing of CAD files for loop diagrams, termination diagrams, Hookups etc.

Objectives
At the end of this course, users will be able to:

Manage all project drawings and drawing revisions (including batch update, batch revision
changes and plotting) from a easy to use Graphical User Interface

Generate loop drawings from templates automatically updating data from the AVEVA
Instrumentation database including:

Data from Instrument Engineer (Manufacturer, model number, range, P&ID drawing
nos., I/O, etc)

Data from AVEVA Instrumentation Wiring Manager (Cables, terminations, wire

numbers etc)

Data from the Instrument Designer drawing register (e.g Drawing No, Title, Drawn
By, Date etc) & revision history is automatically updated on all drawings

Generate Termination drawings parametrically from the AVEVA Instrumentation database

including:
o

Data from AVEVA Instrumentation Wiring Manager (terminal strips & devices, cables
& core markings/wire numbers etc).

Data from the Designer drawing register (e.g Drawing No, Title, Drawn By, Date etc)
& revision history is automatically updated on all drawings

Generate Hookup drawings with Bill of Materials and create bulk Bill of Materials reports for
an entire project

Access Engineering Data created with other AVEVA Instrumentation applications including
Instrument & Loop data created with the Instrument Engineer application.

Prerequisites
As a prerequisite for Instrument Designer training, users must have taken Instrument Engineer and
Instrument Wiring Manager training courses.

Course Structure
Training will consist of oral and visual presentations, demonstrations and set exercises. Each
workstation will have a training project, populated with model objects. This will be used by the
trainees to practice their methods, and complete the set exercises.
