Updating PCSD dynamos

I have some dynamos that used the PCSD library as a starting point. These custom dynamos which have a vb form to select rotation do not appear to be compatible with the dynamo update utility that comes out of the box with DeltaV. Has anybody come up with a different utility or know of a way to update these dynamos.

  • Hi Steve,

    It's not a PCSD issue specifically, valves from the standard frsModules_Theme dynamo set at v12 have the same issue i.e. resetting to the default orientation position.

    I'm working on a solution for our client. Will let you know if we get something clever. But as we've not yet started our project, I believe creating 4 versions without the rotation option in a custom client dynamo set will be the simplest forward for us, with the frsdynamoinfo different per orientation e.g. MA1_VLV0_, MA1_VLV90_, MA1_VLV180_, MA1_VLV270_. I know this doesn't help if you've already created multiple graphics that need an update.

    This was a very timely post for us, before we fell down the chasm.

    Thanks,

    Neil.

    I'm also having issues with this topic.  I tried creating a new dynamo with an existing dynamo from the frsModules_Theme Dynamo set.  Everything looked good except all the Dynamo Properties were gone..haven't found a way to edit that form like Emerson did.  Please let us know what you find out.

    Thanks,

    I found a fix for my issue, it looks like DeltaV made their own custom forms for the frsModules_Theme dynamo set. So in the VB editor change the following:

    Private Sub MA1_VLV__Edit()
    On Error GoTo ErrHandler
    frszdynamo MA1_VLV_ ---------> frszEEMUADynamo6 MA1_VLV_
    Exit Sub
    ErrHandler:
    frsHandleError
    End Sub

    Changing the numerical value on the frszEEUADynamo will change the dynamo properties form attached to the dynamo.
