4/34

Connections Design Improved the scheme readability

New setting to change the graphical representation of the intersection of the wires in

the scheme (with and or without arc) improving the schema readability.

From the wire radial menu, the graphical representation

can be changed (standard and arc).

The radial commands for the wire are now:

Edit Wire, Indicate Wire data, Wire Numbering,

Delete/Insert Arc, Edit connection, Insert Terminal /

Connector, Navigator.

5/34

Contextual Radial Menu To find and execute commands faster and easier

Radial menus enhanced. The menus are displayed pressing the right button of the mouse when the

cursor is over a scheme element. Associated to almost all SPAC entities.

It is also possible to recall the

last commands used

6/34

Export to File Commands simplification and integration

A unique window is used for all the «export to file» options

including all the parameters and fields required

The fields and they sorting order

can be configured easily.

The option to open the file at the

end of the command and the use

of Unicode format are now a

general setting avoiding the

confirmation at any Saving

process.

7/34

Attributes Graphical Changes Faster and more intuitive

This feature can be executed from the program menu

or directly from the right button of the mouse (radial

menu) placing the cursor over any symbol.

The interface window shows all the block’s attributes

with the graphical features associated. A simple click on

the cell enables the modification.

8/34

Edit Symbols (XS) Even more powerful

The material associated to the symbol with the

command Copy/Paste can be associated to similar

components avoiding to load again the codes.

It is possible to edit simultaneously several material

codes changing the common characteristics (Spare

Part, At Warehouse, etc…)

The visibility of attributes Function1 and Function2

could be modified with a single click enabling or

disabling the lamp sign.

Any graphical change to the block’s attributes can be

done executing the command «Graphical changes»

without leaving the interface window.

9/34

Threads Numbering (1)

Simpler and more efficient

The definition of the thread type was enhanced with the management of the «favorites» and with a

search function.

It is easier to find out the number to

be used and the numbering setting

used.

10/34

Threads Numbering (2)

A better Settings organization

The settings were grouped by their

characteristics and sorted in tabs.

11/34

Threads Numbering (3)

Colors Management

If the selected cable does not have the specified color on the

archive, the color can be selected form a different window making

faster the design.

The color selection is displayed only if necessary.

12/34

Threads Numbering (4)

“Extended Mode” and “Reduced Mode”

It is now possible to work in “Extended Mode” and in

“Reduced Mode”.

On the first case the list of threads type to be used is

always displayed, and can be selected all the codes

or the favorite codes.

«Extended Mode»

«Reduced Mode»

On the second case, the interface window is

simplified and the color and section can be changed

without considering the type.

The simplified window remains open so it is not

necessary to recall the command several times.

13/34

Threads Modification (xs) Aligned with new numbering

When executing XS command from the radial menu (after pressing the right

button of the mouse) selecting a thread or its ID number, all the changes done

using the indications of the previous slide are displayed. The interface window is

then similar to the numbering window.

14/34

Threads Specialization Aligned with new numbering

It is possible to modify the thread’s section in a branch with the same potential.

Even this function was enhanced.

The command could be used saving a lot

of time changing the material to different

thread’s without using the XS command

that acts on one thread at a time.

15/34

Insert Returns Performance improved for Power Feeds and Signals

The interface window is similar to the one of the threads numbering adding on the left-

top the management of the branch of the same signal in different pages, the branch

visibility on the scheme and the type of graphical representation to be used.

16/34

Modify Returns Performance improved

It is possible to manage the visibility of the data associated to branch with a simple click

on the lamp sign.

Given that in this case we are working with a signal that goes to other pages in the

scheme, it is possible to update the modified data only on the selected branch with the

same potential or in all the branches connected.

17/34

Insert Terminals New graphics and new features

On the top-left of the window there is the panel structure with the terminal blocks, it is

possible to create or modify the name ad the description with the mouse’s right button.

On the central section there is the information related to the current graphical

representation and to the management of the connected thread.

On the right side there are the terminal block preview and the levels available in multiple

terminals so they can be used pressing “OK – Use Available Levels” button.

The search feature is enabled

for all the ID fields; it is possible

to set for each column the

sorting of elements (by clicking

on the field title) and some filters

(right button of the mouse on

the field’s title) to avoid the

elements that are not

interesting.

18/34

Insert Connectors New graphics and new features

The Connectors insertion follows the same approach as the Terminals insertion. In this

case the preview illustrates the free Pins and those already used.

19/34

Modify Terminals New Features

Once the interface window is opened it is

possible to:

• Move the Terminal to another Terminal

Block selecting it from the tree-view on

the left upper side

• Modify the number of Terminal

• Change the graphical return symbol

• Customize the fields Usage, Input

Notes, Output Notes

• Change the graphics on the scheme

• Change the material used.

The material change is allowed if the

connection pins are equal.

20/34

Modify Connectors New Features

Once the interface window is opened, it is

possible to:

• Change the graphical symbol of the

return

• Customize the Usage field, Input notes

and Output notes

• Change the graphical symbol on the

scheme for a single Pin

• Move the Pins inside the connector

• Change the Material used on the

Connector

The Material change is allowed if the

connection pins are the same of if the new

connector has a greater number of pins.

21/34

Navigator on Dockable Window Visualize all the components instances

The navigator presents the objects in a Tree-View

organized according to the panels structure on the

facility. For each object, it is displayed the position of

the primary component, its contacts, the

representation on the topographical layout and the

bill of materials.

With a few clicks, it is possible to browse the project

in a logical and fast way.

A Search function is available.

The navigator manages also the all the other entities

composing the scheme, Wires Numbers, I/O,

Terminals, etc.

22/34

On-Line Translation Available if the Global Assistance Contract is Enabled

A web connection was developed to facilitate the

translations, allowing the on-line translation of the

phrase or word inserted.

The new feature was inserted in the phrases creation

and modification phase with a dedicated command to

change the translator’s blocks and the texts on the

scheme.

In case of a new phrase, once the original language is

indicated, clicking on “New” it is obtained the translation

to the corresponding language.

Selecting a translator symbol o a text on

the scheme, it is possible to get directly

the translation on-line to the desired

language.

23/34

Memorize Sheets (or a part of it)

The command evolution provides now and extended visualization of the list of pages memorized in a

Tree-View to simplify the organization and research of pages according to their classification.

The command is now available with a mouse right-button click to search easily pages saved

previously.

24/34

Memorized Sheets Insertion

The command was enhanced with two features that makes it more efficient:

• There could be more than one part of a scheme saved on each sheet.

• Each part of the scheme can be inserted with a variable insertion point to allow the composition

of the page.

25/34

Contemporary Session of SPAC

SPAC Automazione works even if it is launched several times in the same Personal Computer.

In this condition the feature Copy-Paste (^C ^V) consents to work in two different Job Orders avoiding

the issues related to the element’s location layer. This guarantees the complete compatibility with the

SPAC Multi-Sheet management.

Possibility to use Copy-Paste

26/34

Dynamic PDF Document for an easy and fast scheme consulting

With the automatic printing command it is possible to make a PDF file that could be

browsed easily given that it contains the connections between the wires and

components returns

The PDF file created contains all the dynamic connections between the cross references present on the

scheme. A specific option consents the visualization of the materials associated to the components.

It is also available the lateral navigation according to the following criteria:

• Sequential list of the sheets divided by Multi-Sheet

• Sequential list of the sheets

• List of components sorted by panel

• Sequential list of the components 27/34

P&ID and Electrical Scheme (1)

Interface and Data Exchange

Sul disegno P&ID sono presenti componenti (valvole,

apparecchiature e strumenti) che necessitano di

essere riportati sullo schema elettrico funzionale in

quanto utenze elettriche.

I componenti che devono comparire sullo

schema elettrico vengono migrati in SPAC

che li presenta organizzati in una struttura

ad albero suddivisi per tipologia

(Apparecchiature, Pompe/Motori,

Valvole…).

Tramite un database di conversione

grafica

è possibile trascinare sullo schema

elettrico le apparecchiature direttamente

con il simbolo corretto e con tutte le

informazioni provenienti dallo schema di

processo (sigla, descrizione, materiale…)
