    The document discusses control, monitoring, and shutdown systems for a plant. It defines control systems and safety systems. The normal control and monitoring is done through a distributed control system (DCS) that controls the process. The process safety system, designed to protect personnel and equipment in emergency situations, is the emergency shutdown system (ESD). Process safety systems must be independent of process control systems. Documentation for safety systems includes specifications, cause and effect matrices, diagrams, and study reports.

    Behnaz Motamed, Control & Shutdown Definitions, Rev.00, Sep. 2021 1


    Control, monitoring and shutdown
    systems are designed at the earliest
    phase of the project by basic or
    licensor designer.

    As the process moves through project


    life cycle, the systems may be
    developed.

    Definitions presented here, may differ


    from one project to another as they
    are defined by Clients and standards
    in each project; anyway, the concept
    represented here is the same.

    Behnaz Motamed, Control & Shutdown Definitions, Rev.00, Sep. 2021 2


    There are some systems for control, monitoring and shutdown of
    the plan. They will be related to each other through suitable
    communication. This collection will be composed of major sub-
    systems. In general systems can be classified as:

    o Control System
    o Safety System

    Behnaz Motamed, Control & Shutdown Definitions, Rev.00, Sep. 2021 3


    Another classification is:
    o Process/distributed control system (PCS/DCS)
    o Emergency shutdown, depressurization and ultimate safety
    systems(ESD/EDP/USS)
    o Fire & gas detection and alarm system (F&G)
    o Package units, and PLC based package units (CMS, BMS, MMS,...)
    o Other systems

    Sometimes Process Control System (DCS) and Emergency Shutdown


    System (ESD), are integrated as Integrated Control and Safety System)
    (ICSS).

    Behnaz Motamed, Control & Shutdown Definitions, Rev.00, Sep. 2021 4


    Package units, and PLC based package units (CMS, BMS, MMS,...) is divided
    into three types:
     Stand-alone package, controlled by own control system (Local
    Control Panel (LPC) and has no interface (or very limited) with
    DCS, ESD and F&G systems
     Package remotely controlled by the DCS and ESD/F&G systems
     Packaged unit fully controlled by the package control cabinet (UCP)
    located remotely in the Instrument Technical Room (ITR). The
    package UCP is connected to the PCS/DCS, ESD and F&G systems,
    for monitoring, control functions and shutdowns
    The ESD activation of packages shall be implemented in the Plant
    ESD system.

    Behnaz Motamed, Control & Shutdown Definitions, Rev.00, Sep. 2021 5


    o Control System
    o Safety System

    The normal control & monitoring system is done via a Distributed Control
    System (DCS). This system controls the process to produce a good quality
    product (on-spec product) and keeps all process variables within its safety
    limit. This system is including:

    o Process control loops


    o Process interlocks
    o Process monitoring
    o Alarms
    o Switches and push buttons
    o Packages connected to DCS (BMS, MMS, …)

    Behnaz Motamed, Control & Shutdown Definitions, Rev.00, Sep. 2021 6


    o Control System
    o Safety System

    Process safety system of a plant is designed to protect personnel, equipment


    and environment in case of abnormal, unsafe or emergency conditions.
    These actions are done via an Emergency Shutdown Systems (ESD).
    This system is including:

    o Emergency shutdown and depressurization system (ESD/EDP)


    o Fire & gas detection and alarm system (F&G)
    o Package UCP connected to ESD/EDP/F&G (BMS, MMS, …)

    Behnaz Motamed, Control & Shutdown Definitions, Rev.00, Sep. 2021 7


    Behnaz Motamed, Control & Shutdown Definitions, Rev.00, Sep. 2021 8
    The process safety system shall be independent of and in addition to the
    process control devices used in normal process operation. It means protection
    measures have different functions from control algorithms.

    Process safety systems documentation


    The design of the safety system shall be documented, including but not
    limited to:
    o Specifications and philosophies
    o Cause and effect matrix (ESD/EDP matrix, interlock
    matrix/description)
    o Alarms and trips set-point list
    o Diagrams (such as ESD hierarchy diagram, safeguard diagram, logic
    diagram)
    o Study report (such as SIL study, depressurizing study)
