Instrument I-O List
Instrument I-O List
I/O List is a document containing list of instrumentation which serve as an input or output of control
system. Therefore, only the tag number that physically has a cable which connects to the control
system appears on I/O List.
When there are more than one control system in a plant (let say PCS and SIS), the I/O list shall clearly
indicates which instruments is assigned to which control system or may separate them to different section
in the document.
In I/O list, the following information should be stated but not limited to:
Tag number
Loop Number
Service description
P&ID Number
Type of Instrument
Location
I/O Type
Control System
Range or set point
The information column in which I/O list contains may be as simple as above, however some project
require I/O list to be detailed by having alarm list, controller action, logic “0”/“1”descriptor. Later on, I/O
list would include I/O number assignment (rack, slot, channel number) which information to be provided
by control system vendor.
