PART II: Structuring Projects and Digital Twins

Session 6: System Replication and Batch Naming Strategies

Course Code: CX-04
Goal: Enable faster project setup by leveraging system templates and naming automation, improving efficiency and consistency across large commissioning projects.

Session Overview

Duration: 1 Hour
Format: Instructor-led (via Microsoft Teams or in-person)
Level: Advanced (Ideal for project managers, engineers, and technicians handling large-scale BMS projects)

Resources Provided:

  • System Replication and Batch Naming Guide
  • Batch Editing Excel Template
  • Best Practices for Data Integrity in System Replication
  • Common Pitfalls Checklist for Replication Tasks

Learning Objectives

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

  • Replicate multiple similar systems across large sites efficiently.
  • Export systems to Excel, batch edit names, and re-import them into CUBE Cx.
  • Avoid common pitfalls when working with large replication tasks.
  • Apply best practices to maintain data integrity across replicated systems.

Session Agenda

CX4.1 How to Replicate Multiple Similar Systems Across Large Sites
  • Replicating Systems in CUBE Cx:
    • Overview of replication functionality in CUBE Cx.
    • Step-by-step guide to replicating similar systems across large sites (e.g., replicating HVAC systems across multiple floors or buildings).
       
    • How to adjust system parameters for each replicated instance without affecting the original configuration.
CX4.2 Exporting Systems to Excel, Batch Editing Names, and Re-importing
  • Exporting System Data:
    • How to export system configurations and parameters to Excel for batch editing.
    • Best practices for organizing and editing system data in Excel.

  • Batch Editing System Names:
    • How to use Excel’s batch editing capabilities to rename systems, devices, or components in bulk.
    • Techniques for ensuring consistent naming conventions during large-scale system setups.

  • Re-importing Data into CUBE Cx:
    • How to import edited Excel files back into CUBE Cx for system updates.
    • Verifying the integrity of data after re-import to avoid errors and inconsistencies.
CX4.3 Avoiding Common Pitfalls When Working with Large Replication Tasks
  • Pitfalls in System Replication:
    • Common errors when replicating systems across large sites (e.g., naming inconsistencies, overlooked dependencies).
    • How to avoid mistakes that can lead to system misconfigurations and delays in commissioning.

  • Ensuring Consistency Across Replicated Systems:
    • Techniques for ensuring that replicated systems are configured uniformly, preventing issues during operation.
CX4.4 Best Practices for Maintaining Data Integrity Across Replicated Systems
  • Maintaining Data Integrity:
    • How to ensure data integrity across replicated systems through proper validation and checks.
    • Best practices for auditing system configurations to avoid errors in large-scale projects.

  • Automation Tools:
    • Using automated tools within CUBE Cx to streamline the replication process and reduce manual errors.
       
    • How to validate data integrity after replication tasks and ensure systems are aligned across multiple sites.

Hands-On Preview (Optional if time allows)

  • Replicate a system across a sample project and make bulk edits to system names via Excel.
  • Import the edited system configurations back into CUBE Cx and verify the changes.
     
  • Troubleshoot common replication errors and apply data validation checks.

Post-Session Action Items

  • Practice replicating systems across a sample project, making bulk edits to improve efficiency.
  • Review naming conventions for consistency across replicated systems.
  • Test importing and exporting system data from CUBE Cx and identify potential pitfalls to avoid.
  • Develop a checklist for maintaining data integrity during large replication tasks.
