This is where the engineering work happens.
Currently, making a change in INtools (e.g., moving a tag from one loop to another, changing a line number, or modifying a I/O address) requires navigating 4-5 different modules (Index, Loop, Wiring, Hookups). It's easy to break a link between the Instrument Index and the Loop Drawing or between the Junction Box and the DCS I/O card. intools software
, now officially known as SmartPlant Instrumentation (SPI) , is the industry-standard database application used for the design, engineering, and maintenance of instrumentation and control systems. Originally developed by Intergraph (now Hexagon PPM), it serves as a "single source of truth" for instrumentation data across the entire lifecycle of industrial plants.
