<span style="background-color: #f6f8f9; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.639999389648438px;">Smartplant Instrumentation (formerly known as Intools) requires license like any other software. During execution of a project, the number of licenses used within a project may vary from only one license up to tens of licenses. If cost becomes major concern and the budget is limited, the number of licenses could be reduced by the following tricks. However this trick is only applicable for data sheet work which is prepared by more than one Instrument engineer. This trick could not be applied to other works such as wiring, loop, hook-up. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: #f6f8f9; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.639999389648438px;">This procedure needs Intools External Editor, a freeware that can be downloaded in Integraph website. Please note that the version of Intools External Editor shall be compatible with that of Smartplant Instrumentation. </span></div>

Once it is completed, the Intools operator shall import it back to Intools. </span></div>

Instead of using Intools with many licences, by using one license only, the Intools operator does export and import the files to be filled by multiple Instrument engineers using Intools external editor.</span><br />

A solenoid valve is an electromechanical device used for controlling liquid or gas flow. The solenid valve is controlled by electrical current, which is run through a coil. When the coil is energized, a magnetic field is created, causing a plunger inside the coil to move. Depending on the design of the valve, the plunger will either open <img align="right" alt="solenoid valve picture" height="293" hspace="10" src="http://www.solenoid-valve-info.com/images/solenoid_valve_1.jpg" style="max-width: none;" vspace="10" width="247" />or close the valve. </div>

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">
When electrical current is removed from the coil, the valve will return to its de-energized state.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">
In direct-acting solenoid valves, the plunger directly opens and closes an orifice inside the valve. In pilot-operated valves (also called the servo-type), the plunger opens and closes a pilot orifice. The inletline pressure, which is led through the pilot orifice, opens and closes the valve seal.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">
The most common solenoid valve has two ports: an inlet port and an outlet port. Advanced desigs may have three or more ports. Some designs utilize a manifold-type design.</div>
