About Equipments

The Logical to Physical Assistant panel gives you an overview of the equipments in your logical and physical systems. In each column, a value and a symbol appear.

The following topics are discussed:

Equipment Columns

When you click the Equipment tab, the following columns appear.


Column	Description	Symbol
2D Instance	Displays the name of the logical instance.	—
System	Displays the name of the logical system in which the logical instance is.	—
Expected 3D Reference	Displays the expected reference of the physical equipment. The value that appears in the column depends on the following conditions: If the logical instance has a predefined part number, then the Expected 3D Reference comes from this predefined part number. When the predefined part number returns multiple candidates, the L2P_Select3DReference business rule filters the results to return only one candidate. For more information, see Select a 3D Physical Reference from Computed 3D References (L2P_Select3DReference). If the L2P_Select3DReference business rule is turned off when there are multiple candidates, a appears in the cell. If the logical instance has no predefined part number, then the Expected 3D Reference comes from the L2P_Compute3DReference business rule, if the business rule returns a reference. For more information, see Compute 3D Physical Reference (L2P_Compute3DReference).	: only one candidate is retrieved. : there are multiple candidates. : no Expected 3D Reference is found in the database.
Current 3D Reference	Displays the reference of the physical equipment that has an implement link to the logical equipment. An empty cell means that the physical reference is missing.	: the Current 3D Reference is the same as the Expected 3D Reference. : the Current 3D Reference is different from the Expected 3D Reference. : the Current 3D Reference is missing.
3D Instance	Displays the name of the physical equipment. An empty cell means that no physical equipment exists.	—
3D Parent	Displays the name of the parent of the physical equipment. An empty cell means that no physical parent exists.	: the physical parent: Is defined and exists in the session. Is the same as the Expected 3D Parent. : the physical parent is different from the Expected 3D Parent. : there is no value because the 3D Instance is missing.
Expected 3D Parent	Displays the name of the expected physical parent that comes from the L2P_Compute3DParent business rule or from Set Parent . For more information, see Compute Parent of 3D Physical (L2P_Compute3DParent). For more information about Set Parent , see Selecting Parents.	: the Expected 3D Parent is returned from the business rule or Set Parent . : there is no candidate because the 3D Instance is missing.
Expected 3D Space	Displays the name of the expected 3D space. The expected 3D space comes from the space link of the logical instance.	: the physical equipment is in the Expected 3D Space. : the physical equipment is in a different 3D space than the Expected 3D Space. : the Expected 3D Space is not defined.
Synchronization Status	Displays the state of the selected row. There are four possible states for a row: Logical and physical facets are in place: both the physical and logical data are present. Logical in session, physical is missing: the physical data is missing. Logical is missing, physical in session: the logical data is missing. Both logical and physical are missing: both the logical and physical data are missing.	Red row: both the logical and physical data are missing. Note: The color red indicates that the row is empty. You cannot edit or delete the row. Yellow row: one of the data is missing. Green row: both the logical and physical data are present.

Note: You can hide or reorder the columns. For more information, see Columns.

Commands for Equipment

The following commands are available in the Equipment tab.


Command	Description	Multiselection	Condition
Set 3D Reference	Lets you select an Expected 3D Reference from the selected option of search. For more information, see Selecting 3D References.		—
Set Parent	Lets you select a physical system in the tree or create a product to be defined as the Expected 3D Parent of the physical equipment. For more information, see Selecting Parents.		—
Auto Place	Places automatically the Expected 3D Reference. For more information, see Placing a 3D Object Using Auto Place.		Are available if you select a row that contains: The Expected 3D Parent that is editable The Expected 3D Reference No physical equipment
Manual Place	Lets you place manually the Expected 3D Reference. For more information, see Placing 3D Objects Manually.	
Move	Lets you move the physical equipment. For more information, see Moving 3D Objects.		Is available if the physical equipment exists in the selected row.
Replace	Replaces the Current 3D Reference with the Expected 3D Reference. For more information, see Replacing 3D References.		Is available if you select a row in which: The physical equipment exists. The Expected 3D Reference is different from the Current 3D Reference. The L2P_ValidateActionsAvailability business rule allows this action for the physical instance. For more information, see Validate Availability of Actions for L2P Assistant (L2P_ValidateActionsAvailability).
Delete	Removes the physical equipment from the selected row. For more information, see Deleting 3D Objects.		Are available if you select a row in which: The physical electrical device exists. The L2P_ValidateActionsAvailability business rule allows this action for the physical instance. For more information, see Validate Availability of Actions for L2P Assistant (L2P_ValidateActionsAvailability).
Synchronize	Updates the attributes of the physical equipment in the selected row. For more information, see Synchronizing the Attributes of the Physical Objects	
Reconcile	Creates an implement link between a logical and a physical equipment. Reconcile has two modes: automatic and manual. In both cases, the candidates respect the following mandatory criteria: The candidates come from the first reference-reference implement link context. The candidates have no existing links to any objects. For automatic reconciliation, another optional criteria is taken into account: the name of the object matches with the name of the candidate. For manual reconciliation, if a predefined part number is assigned, then the predefined part number of the logical object must match with the part number of the physical object. When there are multiple candidates, the L2P_ComputePhysical business rule filters the results to return only one candidate. For more information, see Compute Physical Candidate for Reconcile (L2P_ReconcileWithPhysical) and Create an Implement Link.		Is available if you select a row in which no implement link already exists.
Delete Links	Deletes the implement link that exists between a logical equipment and a physical equipment. For more information, see Delete an Implement Link.		Is available if you select a row in which an implement link exists.
Change Parent	Moves the physical equipment from the Current 3D Parent to the Expected 3D Parent. For more information, see Assigning New Parents to Physical Objects.		Is available if you select a row in which the Expected 3D Parent is different from the Current 3D Parent of the physical equipment.
Set Predefined Part Number	Lets you define a predefined part number on your logical instance.		Is available only in the Electrical Systems Design app. For more information, see Electrical Systems Design User's Guide: Assigning a Predefined Part Number to Logical Objects.
