This article explains how to create a CML with 2 Diameters, using CML Sections. The same methodology can be used for CMLs with more than two diameters..
To create a Multidiameter CML, you must configure its supporting settings and then create the CML itself. The process consists of five main steps:
Define Sections for the CML Type so that each Section can have its own Diameter.
Assign Matrix Locations to the defined Sections.
Assign Measurement Points (MPs) to the defined Sections
Create an MP Configuration that maps the assigned Measurement Points to Matrix Locations.
Create the Multidiameter CML, select the configured CML Type and MP Configuration, and specify the different Diameters for each Section.
Take note
The same procedure applies when creating a CML with predefined Measurement Points that is not a Multidiameter CML. In such cases, you do not need to configure Sections. However, you must still configure Matrix Locations, Measurement Points, and an MP Configuration before creating the CML.
Configuring Settings for a Multidiameter CML
In the Settings, you define how Multidiameter CMLs are structured and managed. This includes creating Sections for different Diameters, assigning Matrix Locations and Measurement Points to those Sections, and setting up an MP Configuration that links them together.
Configuring Sections per CML Type
To add a Section to a CML Type:
Navigate to Settings \ Maintenance \ Configuration \ CML Types.
Select an existing CML Type (e.g., BENT PIPE) or click Plus to create a new one.
Scroll to CML Section Configuration.
Click Plus to add a new Section.
After selecting the applicable CML Type, click the Plus button to create a new Section.
Enter a Name, Description, and assign a Color (e.g., red or #ff0000).
Click Save.
Repeat with additional Sections if needed. Each Section should have a unique color.
Two CML Sections with distinct colors are visible in the CML Section Configuration grid.
Setting Matrix Locations per CML Type Section
If no Matrix locations have been added to the CML Type:
Scroll to the Set Matrixlocations grid.
Click Plus to add a Matrix Location. Note: Matrix Locations are defined under Settings \ Maintenance \ Configuration \ Matrix Location.
A pop-up window will appear.
Select the Matrix Location ID from the drop-down.
In Section configuration, select the Section you want to link to the Matrix Location ID.
Click Save.
Click Plus in the Set Matrixlocations grid to add another Matrix Location to a Section.
If Matrix Locations were already added:
Open the relevant Matrix Location by clicking the Edit button.
Under Section Configuration, select the relevant Section.
Click Save.
Setting Measurement Points per CML Type
Scroll down to the Set Measurementpoints grid.
Click Plus to add a Measurement Point (MP).
Click the Plus button to add a Measurement Point.
A pop-up window will appear..
Select Measurement Point ID from the drop-down menu. Note: Measurement Points are defined under Settings \ Maintenance \ Corrosion data \ Measurement Point.
Click Save.
Repeat the steps until all relevant MPs for the CML Type are added.
Measurement points for CML Type added.
Creating a New MP Configuration
To create a new MP Configuration:
Navigate to Settings \ Maintenance \ Configuration \ MP Configuration.
Click the Plus button.
Populate the fields.
In the Config field, enter a name for the configuration.
Select the CML Type for which you want to add the new Configuration. Note: CMLS Types are defined under Settings \ Maintenance \ Configuration \ CML Types.
Click Save.
Populate the fields and click Save to create a new MP Configuration.
Select the newly created MP Configuration.
In the grid on the right, select positions by clicking the relevant cells. Note: The X-axis shows Matrix Locations, and the Y-axis shows MPs.
Çlick on the cells in the grid on the right to select the positions.
Once the Settings are configured, you can proceed to create a Multidiameter CML.
Creating a Multidiameter CML
Navigate to your Circuit Details page.
Scroll to the CML Section.
Click Plus to create a new CML.
Fill in the required fields.
Select the CML Type for which you created an MP Configuration in the steps above.
Select the MP Configuration you created in the previous steps.
Click Save.
Editing Diameters per CML Section
Next, you need to define the Diameter(s) that differ from the rest by editing the CML.
Click on the applicable CML on the Circuit Details page or on the CML Main screen to open it.
In the CML Details section, click Edit.
If not done yet, select the previously created MP Configuration.
For each Section, either keep Inherit checked to keep the default Diameter, or uncheck Inherit and specify a new Diameter.
Click Save.
Create Predefined Measurement Points
Next, you need to add the MPs from the MP Configuration to CML, i.e., create the Predefined Measurement Points (PDMPs).
If the MP Configuration was assigned while creating the CML, MPs will automatically be migrated to PDMPs. Do not click Migrate, or duplicates will be created.
If the MP Configuration was assigned during editing of the CML on the CML Details page while editing an existing CML, the Predefined Measurement Points in the Measurement Positions section will not be created automatically. To migrate the MPs to the PDMPs:
Go to the Measurement Positions section.
Click Migrate to convert MPs to PDMPs.
Click Migrate to Migrate MPs to Pre Defined MPs.
Click Save in the Toolbar.
