The checklist is to include:

-

Confirm hazardous area classification matches or exceeds the actual area

classification;

Checks of hazardous area certification against labelling and for special

provisions, e.g. type of gland, temperature limits, intrinsically safe barriers etc;

Check glands and terminations are properly made off, sealed, labelled and
numbered;

Check voltage and polarity of the supply to each loop, the supply is not to be
connected to the loop;

With the microprocessor system isolated, the loop test shall be conducted from
the computer input/output (I/O) back to the instrument terminations;

Check resistance of system grounding to plant earth;

Check continuity of screen to clean earth;

Check freedom of loop and screen cabling from earth faults, stray voltages etc;

Check correct fitting of any applicable end of line provisions such as resistors,
diodes etc. and that no unrecorded modifications have been made to instruments
or junction boxes;

Check wire and device tagging;

Check communications to the SMART transmitters.

Loop Checks Under Power

(a)

The serial link from I/O to the system processor typically to the controller on the Distributed
Control System (DCS) shall not be connected. At this stage the field measurement will not be
displayed, and the outputs to the field shall be injected at the disconnected DCS I/O. The purpose
is to prove the operation of the field devices and any installed barrier systems through to the I/O,
under power.

(b)

The system shall then be powered one loop at a time and the functions of each loop input/output
checked. Field signal simulation shall always approximate to actual conditions whenever possible
i.e. For a pressure instrument, pressure shall be applied at the instrument, an injected 4-20 mA
signal shall not be used for simulation. Thermocouple and Resistance Temperature Device (RTD)
simulation shall be by millivolt generator and decade resistance box respectively. Outputs shall be
directed to the actual field valve or other device to prove the correct operation.

System Communications and Power Tests (Typically for DCS/SCADA)

(a)

This is a confirmation of the Factory Acceptance Test under loop powered conditions. Reference
shall be made to the Functional Test Sheets attached to this specification.

(b)

When all I/O interfaces have been proved, the system shall be powered down and the I/Os
connected to the DCS input cards. Vendor/Contractor shall prove by simulation (from the
instrument in the field wherever possible) the operation of the control loops, alarm functions, line
break and signal viability functions, recording and printer functions, failure modes, trending,
paging up and down and updating, soft and hardware redundancy and all other features of the
system and graphics configuration.

GENERAL ENGINEERING SPECIFICATION

(c)

GES C.54
Page 12 of 18
Rev 0 1999

Since the functioning of the I/Os has been proved, reversion to signal and output simulation at the
I/O interface is permissible to aid fault finding of the computer faceplate and graphics functions.
Where convenient, valve outputs can be fed back as measured variable inputs through a software
delay. However, after all fault finding, the complete system shall be powered up and the full
system check undertaken with signals on all I/Os in a simulated plant running mode. The actions
of the system under field signal/output conditions must then be reconfirmed.
The functions of each loop, pages of alarms, printer operation, trend storage etc. shall be listed on
individual check-lists and a positive checking procedure adopted. General statements are not
acceptable.

3.4.8

Externally Interfaced Equipment

The functions of external devices such as ESD, F&G, package control panels and analysers shall be
checked in the same fashion and the control and data interfaces with the computer confirmed and recorded
on a check-list.

3.4.9

Signals from non-Instrument Systems

Where complete checking of the system requires operation or simulation of parts of the plant which are
outside the Instrument scope e.g. starting of Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) and
motors, operation of Motor Operated Valve (MOV) etc., the Vendor/Contractor shall organise joint testing
procedures with the other disciplines, to enable comprehensive system testing to be performed and recorded
on the check-lists.

3.4.10

3.4.11

Commissioning of Flow Computers

(a)

A check for the commissioning/start-up spare parts shall be carried out to make sure that these are
all present before any checks are carried out.

(b)

The flow computers shall be powered for a minimum of one week before any field tests and
checks are carried out.

(c)

All features of the flow computer shall be checked. These shall include such as system behaviour
following power failure, system diagnostics, programming features.

(d)

All inputs to the flow computer shall be actuated at the source and the results shall be checked at
the system display at the computer as well at the operator workstation/terminal.

(e)

The computer shall be run to check specific calculations at random.

Radio Frequency Interference Test

The system shall be checked for immunity to radio frequency interference. Such tests shall be conducted
using a portable 5 Watt radio transmitter. With all cabinet doors closed, equipment shall be unaffected
when the transmitter is keyed at a proximity of not closer than 3 ft (1m). The frequency of these tests shall
be agreed with the Owner. Trip amplifiers and alarm inputs are to be powered and their inputs set close to
their alarm setting. Computer inputs are to be set close to their alarm points.
Since the tests are by their nature non-specific, various simulated plant operations shall be conducted, page
changes etc. Observations shall be made in the plant and in the control room and any unexpected results
shall be analysed to determine if radio interference is the cause. Vendor/Contractor shall eliminate any
faults and retest to the Owner's satisfaction.
Besides these tests, checks shall be made with the radio transmitter out in the field adjacent to field input
devices/transmitters to ensure that there is no effect on the system.

3.4.12

Power Rating and Distribution

(a)

The total electrical load and power factor shall be measured for the complete system and the
various isolated sub-systems. All values shall be recorded and checked against the relevant
fuse/MCB. The fuses shall be checked that they are of the correct rating for the service, it shall be
confirmed that only the correct sections of the plant are isolated when the fuse/MCB is withdrawn,
and that fuse/MCB failure on redundant items does not cause loss of plant operations.

(b)

Tests shall be made to confirm that sections of the plant can be brought 'on' and 'off load' without
causing voltage changes in the system to a level that affects the normal operation.

Site Acceptance System Integration Testing

satisfactory site tests of the individual systems.

(b)

These tests will include verification of correct system operation under varying communication
conditions for both the normal and standby links.

Test objective;
Test procedure;
Check list;
Comments;
Fault report;
Reservations/further action;

All consequences of incorporating new, enhanced version of the embedded software shall be fully
considered before use.

5.11

`Buddy' checking shall be prohibited when carrying out any safety related software modification. Only a
qualified, experienced and nominated person may carry out the checking function. All safety related
software modifications shall be subjected to a HAZOP review before the modification is actually carried
out.

5.12

If errors are found in the embedded software, these shall be reported to the Vendor/Contractor or the
manufacturer. The corrections shall be incorporated into the system only after checking and testing of the
corrected code.

5.13

All Vendor/Contractor and Sub-Vendor/Sub-Contractor software packages shall be identified by revision

and date. All software loadings and changes from the commencement of the project shall only be from such
identified software and all activities shall be entered in a Project Log Book and signed and dated.

5.14

Security copies of the software shall be held on a `grandfather', `father' and `son' basis. Two copies of each
version shall be generated. These will be stored in different locations in a fire safe environment.

5.15

Unless otherwise stated, Vendor/Contractor shall place two identical copies of the commissioned master of
his software in an escrow, the details of which shall be agreed with the Owner.
