Symbol Libraries for RDS-PP Designation (P+ID)

For the RDS-PP designation the symbol libraries RDS_PP_SYM0, RDS_PP_SYM1 and RDS_PP_SYM2 are available. They largely correspond with the libraries ISDDINSYM0, ISDDINSYM1 and ISDDINSYM2, except for some changes to the attributes.

For symbols to which a designation according to IEC/PAS 62400 was assigned, this designation can be found on the attribute Function BL2(LC), i.e the "Letter Code" portion of "Breakdown Level" 2 of the "Function" aspect.

Also, the symbols have the two attributes Designation1 (RDS-PP) and Designation2 (RDS-PP). These will obtain values from the template DMOs of the RDS-PP filter/template library.

Using RDS-PP designation in P+IDs

To be able to use the RDS-PP designation defined in ISD_RDS_PP, you need to integrate the libraries RDS_PP_SYM0, RDS_PP_SYM1, RDS_PP_SYM2 and ISD_RDS_PP into your project.

To do this, choose Settings on the P+ID tab. In the dialogue window, open the Configuration tab. Now, click Add to integrate the libraries into the P+ID. In addition, you must deactivate the From templates library option on the Symbol tab.

Furthermore, you need to activate the From templates library option on the Symbol tab of the Settings dialogue window.

Furthermore, you need to add the template DMOs of the RDS-PP filters/templates library to the DMO sheet of the project, to ensure that they will actually be used when the symbol is inserted. Call the Insert several function and select the library.

RDS-PP attributes in title block libraries

In HiCAD P+ID the sheet-related attributes are stored on the title block symbol and can thus, for instance, also be addressed via the text key %FRAME. The attributes of the title block symbols of the symbol library ISD_FRAME_ENG.SZA contains the following entries for RDS-PP:
