COMOS WORKING PROCEDURE
DESCRIPTION ABOUT COMOS:
With its unified data platform the integrated software solution COMOS provides plant
design engineers, plant operating personnel, company management, and solution partners with a
continuous flow of data that meet their specific needs across all project phase.
One requirement foe effective plant management is optimum networking and coordination of all
disciplines and departments involved in the engineering and operation of a plant. The software
solution COMOS is the basis for the cooperation of worldwide collaboration across the entire
lifecycle of a plant.
The integrated COMOS software concept is based on object orientation. Components are described
holistically and displayed graphically in their true-to-life representation. The graphical and data-
related description. Which includes all data associated with the component. forms a single unit within
the database - the object. Related data sheets, lists, and other documents are linked to the
corresponding objects.
The complete plant information is stored in a central database. As a result COMOS allows all
disciplines and departments involved in the engineering operating phases to always across the same
data for a given object. Objects can be processed in COMOS bidirectional on data sheets as well as
technical drawings.
The open system architecture of COMOS can be adapted to exactly meet company-specific
requirements, allow links to third-party systems and can be integrated in to existing EDP (Electronic
Data Processing ) landscape.

COMOS WORKING PROCEDURE
STEP 12: Now open the document by double clicking that and the working window would be open as
shown in below image.
In the working area we can create our P&ID and PFD and E&IC and all circuits diagram.
All the Equipments, instruments, valves and pipes used in our projects are created under
the respected folders in the listed project structure under the subunit.
Equipment Creation:
All the Required Equipments which are used in the plant are created in the A10 Equipment folder
which consists of Vassal, Tanks, Pump, Motor, Column and other engineering equipments.

working sheet.
VALVE CREATION:
Control valves are applied in the power industry for pressure and flow control of different
liquids and gases.
The wide variety of operating in which control valves can be used requires application of
different designs: Gate valve, globe valve, ball valve and other Flow control valves are used.
The most common type of end connection is a weld end for control valves and a flanged end
connection for butterfly valves. Control is provided by means of changing the size of the
orifice.
All the valves which are used in COMOS can be created by navigation method (or) Right
clicking the A30 valves in the project structure under the Subunit. AS shown in below.
