Example B
You can also link related objects such as consumed/required parts, work areas, or resources. In this example, you link plant information (Workarea) to a process structure.
| Header1 | Item | Item | Description | ItemID | Sequence |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Header2 | WorkArea | WorkArea | |||
| Header3 | Plant | Station | |||
| Title | Root | Station | Description | Store markers | Seq. No. |
| Plant–Root | M:proot | ||||
| OP10 | Station 1 | M:op10 | 100 | ||
| OP20 | Station 2 | M:op20 | 110 | ||
| OP30 | Station 3 | M:op30 | 120 | ||
| OP40 | Station 4 | M:op40 | 130 | ||
| OP50 | Station 5 | M:op50 | 140 |
| Header1 | Item | Item | Description | Relation | Sequence |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Header2 | Process | OP | Workarea | ||
| Header3 | Process | OP | |||
| Title | Root | Oper | Description | Link to markers | Seq. No. |
| Process–Root | L:proot | ||||
| OP10 | Read | L:op10 | 100 | ||
| OP20 | Get | L:op20 | 110 | ||
| OP30 | Record | L:op30 | 120 | ||
| OP40 | Save | L:op40 | 130 | ||
| OP50 | Send | L:op50 | 140 |
As a result, you get the following two linked structures.
The plant objects are linked to the process structure using the specified WorkArea occurrence type.
