Seamless integration of third-party packages is essential for smooth operations, and properly managing interface signals plays a key role. Here are some important signals to consider: • Remote Start: Pulsed, normally open, sent to the third-party package to initiate equipment. • Remote Stop: Maintained, normally closed, used to stop equipment. • Equipment Operable: Continuous signal from the third-party package, indicating the control panel and equipment are ready to operate. • Running Signal: Confirms that equipment is functioning properly. • Common Alarm: Alerts of any process disturbances or faults. • Time Synchronization: Ensuring alignment with DCS/PLC if needed. Clear signal definitions in early stages of 3rd party system integration would save alot of time for both parties , the client and the 3rd party vendor.

Nighil Sajeev, thanks for sharing this thread. The wiring shown in the share picture looks incorrect, there should be one connection going to Common terminal carrying the control voltage. For any Safety/F&G/ESD System, an important feature is Line monitoring, and there are two purposes of this feature. 1. Wire Break: To get information on integrity of the line/wire from the DI module upto the Switch/Detector/Sensor, so that you get an alarm of the wire is broken 2. Short Circuit: To get information on short circuit and avoid false signals. When it is in normal condition, pressure switch contacts are closed. and the DI cards sense the resistance R1. When it is alarm condition, pressure switch contacts are open and the DI cards sense the resistance R1+R2. In Wire break condition, it becomes open loop and the DI card sense Infinite resistance. In Short circuit condition, the loop resistance becomes 0 and hence Short circuit is detected instead of false alarm. The Circuit is shown in the comment is for your reference. the resistance value depends on the DI card in use, in several Safety DI cards, these resistance values are settable.

Intelligent monitored power solutions for access control and locks. Historically, power solutions for electronic access control (EAC) solutions have been managed reactively, addressing issues only after failures occur. However, the integration of networking has transformed power management into a proactive system. By connecting intelligent power solutions to EAC, locks, and other critical components, it’s now possible to manage, monitor, control, and program these systems more effectively, enhancing both reliability and performance. For customers with multiple locations, including regional or national operations, networking ensures the health and reliability of all powered EAC systems across sites. It enables a range of services, such as remote management and monitoring, allowing integrators to troubleshoot and provide support without needing to dispatch a technician. This approach ensures that both integrators and end users maintain real-time visibility into system status and ongoing battery performance, improving efficiency and reducing downtime.

CCR or central room is remote process control room that controls the process in a plant here , the operator will rotate the production process through a monitor connected to the tools in this field from here the PLTU operator will perform the operation and loading arrangements according to the needs of the mereit order arranged by PLN P2B ( load control center) each operator is in charge of operating of four monitors the monitor used by the CCR operator is called by the CCR is all the workstation operator OWS and DCS distribute control system is an integrated system using controllers and communication and protocols and computer that can facilitates users to control equipment that uses analog and digital signals from the control room

SCADA OVERVIEW: 1. The gas wellheads are monitored and controlled via remote terminal units (RTU) with two independent safety trip amplifiers (STA) for overpressure protection and one additional STA for the SIF layer (safety integrity level). 2. The term used for the Well Head System is called Wellhead CM&&OPPS. 3. The Communication Protocol is Open Industry Standard (OPC) and Domain Name Protocol 3 or DNP3 over TCP/IP; the SCADA system polls the I/O point once every minute. 4. Each I/O point has a Dynamic Dead band setting of 1.0 % for Temperature or Pressure and Engineering Unit for the others. 5. When an event occurs, an event record with an actual timestamp is set within the SCADA system irrespective of Polling Status. 6. The Event occurrence is a First Out Event, indicating Tag, Critically, Status, and with a Timestamp. 7. An industrial Switch provides a Redundant Communications Interface to the SCADA Host. 8. In the event of a transmission break, the RTUs will store and upload the Data once Communications are restored.

Alarm management refers to the effective design, implementation, operation, and maintenance of industrial manufacturing/process plant alarms. Alarm management is necessary in a process plant environment controlled by an operator using a control system, such as a DCS, or a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). exida presents the #ISA-18.2 Alarm management lifecycle the exact steps must be followed in designing/implementation of any alarm system, designing the proper alarm system helps in #LOPA calculations and maybe including the alarm as an #IPL. #FunctionalSafety #AMS #Exida #PSM #LOPA
