| - | In the first example, we have a level transmitter that is attached to the side of a tank. Since the transmitter measures the level //of the tank//, they are obviously linked. In this case, the transmitter **should** be part of the tank on in the Location hierarchy (it should also have a [[Monitors|monitors]] relationship with the tank as well). | + | There's a tank that has both a level transmitter and an air-valve attached to it. |

| - | In this case, the air valve has been attached to the tank purely out of convenience - the air passing through the valve doesn't go to or come from the tank. In this case, the two **should not** be considered part of the tank in the Location hierarchy. | + | However, the air valve has been attached to the tank purely out of convenience - the air passing through the valve doesn't go to or come from the tank, the tank was just a very convenient mounting location. In this case, the valve **should not** be considered part of the tank in the Location hierarchy - instead, place under the system it is part of. |
