Creating unit modules

A unit module is an instance of a unit class and therefore inherits all the properties of the unit class, including the associated phase classes and the logic contained in those phase classes.

Create the unit modules in DeltaV Explorer by dragging the unit class to a process cell. This creates the unit module and the associated phase logic, aliases and unit parameters are inherited.

The unit modules should represent actual equipment in your plant. Refer to the plant P&ID for organizational and equipment information.

All units from the same unit class will have the same properties defined. You can not adjust the state transition logic (phase logic) for an individual piece of equipment at the unit module level. However, you can set the values of the unit parameters at unit module level to adjust for differences in the equipment.
