Fast and simple P&ID design

The easy to use P&ID software is an integral component of M4 PLANT and is used to create and edit intelligent piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs). Customisable symbol libraries make it quick and easy to design entire process systems using intelligent lines and symbols, which include important process information for downstream use, stored in attributes. The P&ID software provides symbol catalogs in support of the EN ISO, ANSI and ISA standards, which can be extended by individual symbols or by entire symbol catalogs. Individual component attributes can also be edited as required.

Dynamic Design and Editing

The user-friendly, customisable P&ID tool tray provides access to dynamic and configurable tools for creating lines, determining line crossovers and line flow direction; for filtering, loading, placing, manipulating and editing symbols; for adding branch, symbol and line bore texts; for placing on- and off-sheet connectors; and for creating vendor, responsibility, and pipe specification break symbols. Move selected symbols dynamically, and the system will automatically maintain existing connections.

Consistency checks and parts lists

The P&ID software provides an integrated consistency checker for design quality assurance, and provides a detailed overview of the components used, as well as their attributes. Potential mistakes or inconsistencies within the schematic are flagged up in a separate report, as well as highlighted on the diagram itself. Parts lists, line lists and from/to lists can be generated at any stage, helping teams to monitor a project’s progress. Because of the software’s flexibility when it comes to the assignment of symbol properties, reports can easily be adapted to suit corporate or project-specific requirements.

Multi-Sheet Support

P&ID contains specialised tools for intelligently connecting equipment, piping components and instrumentation across different drawing sheets, clearly structuring complex information.

Intelligent Diagrams

P&ID provides a large selection of process and instrument supply line types, as well as non-labelled lines. The software offers catalogs of intelligent, customisable symbols for P&ID in-line equipment and instrumentation, including dedicated collections of symbols for creating flow diagrams for process plants in accordance with DIN EN ISO and ANSI. You can position all types of symbols anywhere on the diagram, and include important process information (such as pipe bore size and specification) using freely configurable line and symbol properties.

P&ID design data for 3D layouts

The P&ID software module is tightly integrated with all M4 PLANT add-on modules, meaning that your P&ID diagrams can be used as the basis of M4 PLANT 3D designs and subsequent 2D layouts. It allows you to cross-check your P&IDs against the 3D world, and automatically load those components not yet included in your 3D plant design in the appropriate position. This ensures that the resulting 2D drawings or 3D models use only the exact number and type of components contained in your P&IDs.
