Horizontal Data Transfer

Definition

With horizontal data transfer you can differentiate between:

Data transfer from reference location to functional location

Data transfer from functional location to installed piece of equipment

Note Note

In some cases, when data is transferred from the reference location, it can also cause data to be transferred hierarchically , as objects below can acquire their data from the superior objects that have changed.

End of the note.

Using reference functional locations you can specify type-specific data for each system type and transfer it to the corresponding functional locations as well as to the pieces of equipment installed there and their sub-equipment.

Example Example

The ABC indicator of the functional location C1-B02-1 "Ventilator" is to be changed for several clarification plants.

The employee responsible for maintaining the master data makes the change in the master record of the reference functional location and saves the entries.

The system automatically makes the same change for all affected functional locations that were assigned to this reference location and for the pieces of equipment that are installed at these locations. The system then issues a message informing the employee of the changes.

End of the example.
