Chapter 10: Activity Network View

By Paul E. Harris
From Project Planning and Control Using Primavera Contractor Version 6: Including Versions 4.1, 5.0 and 6.1

Overview

The Activity Network, also known as the PERT View, displays activities as boxes connected by the relationship lines. See the following picture:

This chapter will not cover this subject in detail but will introduce the main features.

Many features available in the Gantt Chart View are also available in the Activity Network View, including:

Laboratory Thermometers
Laboratory thermometers are used to measure temperatures or temperature changes with a high degree of precision. Traditional liquid-in-glass design offers ease of use and low cost.
DC Motor Starters
DC motor starters combine a controller (most often a contactor) with overload protection, allowing a motor or motor-controlled equipment to be turned on and off.
AC Motor Starters
AC motor starters are used to turn-on and turn-off electric motors and motor-controlled equipment. They use solid-state or electromechanical technologies, and are designed for single-phase or three-phase motors.
Thermal Overload Relays
Overload relays prevent an electric motor from drawing too much current and overheating; includes thermal and solid state overload types.
Bimetals and Clad Alloys
Bimetals and clad alloys consist of two or more different alloy layers that are integrally bonded together; usually into a metal plate, strip, sheet, or other stock shape.
