1. PURPOSE
This document is intended as a general guide to the SPI-Telecom working procedure in respect of
Smart Plant Instrumentation. It sets out the various requirements including a definition of the
relationship between SPI database, Telecom Equipment and Field device parameters and the
procedural order of working. The document extensively addresses aspects of work flow and the
working relationship including data location definitions, sequence of working, responsibilities,
change identification and control, implementation in the SPI Telecom. The intention is to provide
guidance during project start-up to allow the SPI related interfaces with SEMCO to operate
efficiently for the duration of the project as well as to describe how SMOE /SEMCO shall work with
COP Global setup for SPI.
2. SOFTWARE VERSIONS
The software version used for this project is listed below. Procedure for backup may change as
the software are updated. Refer to Smartplant Administration modules for respective software if
the version shown below does not match.
3. DATABASE
Each SmartPlant Software that requires a database has been created and located on the
following computer. Data on this database are archived on a regular basis.
4. DELIVERABLES
4.1 ENGINEERING & DESIGN DELIVERABLES
The EKOL project deliverables are according to the DFO Matrix Ver. 8 as follows.
It is the responsibility of both SMOE and SEMCOMaritime to create the profiles of all Main Equipment,
Field Equipment, sensors,MDF,IDF,JB and etc. ;in the telecom explorer except inside the seed
Database what COP was created. The following templates are created as a set of standard
deliverables to be generatedfrom the EKOL SPI database for ALL the Telecom Systems.
For uniformity these Design deliverables shall be used by SMOE and SEMCO Maritime.
Reports are revision controlled, meaning they can compare current data with a storedset of data.
The report will then highlight all the changes between the two revisions. For details, please refer to
Chapter 10: Generating Telecom Common Reports Tasks.
The Copies of the SMOEsproduction database and supporting files shall be delivered on
electronic media to COPInformation management team and the facility.
4.3 Audit
1. COP may request a copy of the database for internal or third-party auditing before
accepting the final database.
2. If an audit is performed, the database shall not be accepted as a deliverable until all items
identified in the audit are reviewed and accepted or corrected.
The above split of scope , roles and responsibilities relating to the SPI shall be according to
the DFO requirement .The split of scope described here is one possible approach and final
procedures for EKOLSPI Telecom will be agreed, documented and establishedat project
commencement.
The nature of most project setups isi that parallel SPI working (SMOE
SMOE/SEMCO) will be
thenorm, particularly
ularly in the area of panels and wiring. This requires careful control of
workingareas between the various parties.
It is in the responsibility that all the project users which are assigned to workare well skilled
and d trained to work with SPI v2009.SPI
v2009 project
roject users shall perform the following activities in
SPI, but not limited to:
Note:
Data completeness
ompleteness and/or data accuracy within the EKOL is not the responsibilityof the
Domain Controller.. Each useris
is responsible for data generation andquality using SPI.
SMOE would expect that SPI browsers are ready for the start of a project. At this point a
fullset of browser reports are to be taken and archived at revision P0 as a base reference.
During the initial detail design stage, as each area or item of the plant is authorised for
SMOE/ SEMCO design,design configuration will proceed based on the ass-of-the-moment SPI
database.
A good interface must exist between the various parties. The intention is that all parties
willinteract constantly, generally via informal discussion, to ensure that project benefits from
agood exchange of information.Attached
information. Organization chart provides for close cooperation
between SMOE and SEMCO.
Ad-hoc changes in SPI by COP or others should only impact on design by SMOE or SEMCO
if the affectedarea has already been authorised for design and actual work in the SPI
databasehas started. If configuration has already taken place the following may apply:
Some detail changes (e.g. moving a tag to another multi-core cable pair, changingthe size of
a multi-core cable) may be obvious when analysing panel and wiringviews.
SPI data freeze points will be agreed as part of the detail design phase. These will be
themajor reference points for change identification. Freezes will be both hardware
andsoftware and will not necessarily occur at the same time.
History Tracking
SMOE recommends that History (Audit Trail) is turned on after first issue of the Instrument
Index. Audit Trail can be used for change management to show changes between project
milestone dates such as freeze dates.
Note: Only the SPI System Administrator user has the rights to configure this feature.
Activity Tracking
SMOE recommends that Activity Tracking is turned on for projects where there is shared SPI
database access across 2 or more companies. Activity Tracking provides logon/off and
session duration details for individual users and overall usage statistics of the SPI system.
Note: Only the SPI System Administrator user has the rights to configure this feature.
Revision Management
SMOE recommends using the SPI Revision Management functions for selected report
documents relating to the tags and wiring. Therefore, the SPI per-document revision
management setting is also recommended by SMOE from the Tools menu as shown in
screen shot.
wiring browsers have been archived by SMOE, thus capturing the design freeze
data.
SMOE connect field cables to equipment terminals from MDF assigned by
SEMCOandand generate wiring diagram.
SEMCOconconfigure wiring diagrams from the System Cabinet to MDF and
generate wiring diagram.
Formal Archive /Review Point P2 will be agreed as part of the detailed design
phase by COP/SMOE/SEMCOto review extract wiring data and panel layout
information.The resulting archive comparison report will indicate the differences

Note: SMOE recommand to creation of devices, panels and connection device only in
reference explorer.
D. On the Open dialog box, expand the TELECOM domain hierarchy to the EKOL, as
indicated below.
E. Click OK to open SmartPlant Instrumentation.
The Administration Module is used by the system and project administrators to set up theproject
conventions (e.g.: tag and loop number structure, plant area and unit hierarchy) andallocate access
to engineers and designers into SPI. Where additional fields are required toenter data not normally
covered by SPI a User Defined Field (UDF) can be utilized. The Administration module also
contains a History (module, which records changes during theproject).
The Instrument Index Module is where all loop and tag numbers are compiled and normal index
parameters are entered. All information is stored against tag numbers.
The Browser Module enables the user to create views of data from all of the engineering modules
in which they are able to edit data. User Defined Fields for modules other than the Instrument
Index Module are defined within the Browser Module.
The Wiring Module allows the creation of all instruments (field devices), cabling, racks, and
junction box terminations throughout the project. Standard cables, junction boxes, racks, and
instrument terminations are created within SPI. These are used to generate all instruments wiring
deliverables within the project.
The Loop Diagram Module enables the generation of complete instrument loop diagrams using
data from the above modules and downloading it into a drawing file. Loop diagrams can also be
produced using Smart loop or Enhanced Smart loop, which creates loop diagrams within SPI. Loop
diagrams produced can be edited directly within SPI.
* Note: The Administration Module shall be described details in SPI General Procedure.
The following is a suggested flow of activities that will help to design the telecommunication
system in EKOL project.
The first step in telecom design is to create the reference telecommunication
telecommunication equipment.Then, in
the Instrument Index module, you define telecommunication device type
types and field equipment
In the second step, create your telecom tag numbers based on the telecom device type that you
defined. At this stage, you can generate
generate various Instrument Index reports as needed.
Once all the supporting table data is entered and all the telecom tags are created, you start
creating yourtelecom
telecom panels and telecom equipment based on the reference equipment and
reference panels you createdpreviously.
createdpreviously. Make the required connections among the your
telecom equipment. You can then generateelecom wiring reports as needed.
We recommend the following flow of activities:
a. Telecom
ecom cables with appropriate configurations
b. Telecom device panels
c. Telecom equipment panels with or without their internal equipment
d. Telecom equipment items such as amplifiers, switchboards, hubs, and so forth that serve
as the internal equipmentt of telecom panels

Smart Plant Instrumentation allows you to create a number of Telecom Panels that you can use
for various purposes. Once you have created the Telecom panels you require, you can create
the appropriate equipment for each Panel in the Domain Explorer or the Reference Explorer.
If you are creating Telecom panel that is going to have a frequently used configuration, we
recommend that you create it in the Reference Explorer. Reference telecom panels facilitate
fast creation of plant equipment cabinets by copying an existing cabinet configuration from the
Reference Explorer to the Domain Explorer. However, if you want to create an equipment
cabinet that does not have a configuration that you intend to use frequently, we recommend that
you create it in the Domain Explorer and in the <unit> where it is to be physically located. This
is helpful when filtering the panels in the current <unit>.
Panels can contain a whole range of sub-entities. These sub-entities can be terminal strips,
racks, wiring equipment, and so forth. There is a lot of flexibility in creating a panel hierarchy.
There is no rigid structure like panel terminal strip terminal that limits your wiring design.
You can create REFERENCE TELECOM PANELS based on various wiring structures as you
require.

Telecom Device Allows you to create and manage telecom device types. You
Types define the required telecom device type profile for your telecom
tag numbers so that new tags that you create can acquire the
necessary properties. SmartPlant Instrumentation provides a
number of predefined telecom device types, such as AL
(alarm), CAM (camera), and so forth. You can add new
telecom device types and modify the shipped ones as desired.
You can also delete a telecom device type that is not in use, but
the software does not let you delete a telecom device type that
you already used to create a tag number.
Telecom Line Allows you to maintain the contents of the Telecom line list

SmartPlant Instrumentation partially supports telecom panels created prior to Version 7. These
panels and their child items are organized in the Old Equipment folder.Note that you cannot
create additional panels in this folder, but you can add new child items, modify the properties of
the existing items, and delete the old equipment items, as you require.
You define a telecom device type profile for your telecom devices so that new telecom tag
numbers that you create acquire the necessary properties.You can add new telecom device
types and modify the shipped ones as required. SmartPlant Instrumentation uses standard
function identifier acronyms to identify telecom device types. If some acronyms are not unique
and are used for more than one device type, the Select Telecom Typedialog box opens where
you select the appropriate device type.
After defining a device type, you set device type profile defaults for new telecom tag numbers.
As result,SmartPlant Instrumentation will create your new tag numbers with certain predefined
properties based on thetelecom device type you select for the new tag number. You set profiles
for every telecom device type thatyou use.

After the System Administrator initializes and creates a domain, Smart Plant Instrumentation
creates the following items:
Reference cables
Reference device panels with terminal strips
Connection types
These reference items suffice for the most common connections to device panels. For more
sophisticated combinations, you should create your own reference items.
Make sure that you have defined a custom symbol folder in the SmartPlant Instrumentat
Instrumentation
Preferences dialog box for the appropriate enhanced report type before you associate a symbol with
an item.
When you associate a symbol with an item that can have more than one possible relation to other
items for which you want to
o display data, make sure that the symbol you select uses macros with
the appropriate relations. If a macro has an incorrect relation, the software cannot display the data.
1. In the Domain Explorer, select the desired item, for example, a particular pane
panel.
2. Right-click
click the item and click Properties.
3. Click the Associate Symbols tab.
4. Click New.
5. In the Name column, select the desired report type.
6. Beside the Symbol File column, click Browse.
7. Navigate to the desired .sym file.
8. If you require, repeat steps 4 -7 to associate symbols with the item for other report types.
NOTES:
For an instrument, when you associate a symbol for Enhanced Report Utility reports, the
symbol will also be displayed in other wiring reports.
You can associate each item with one symbol only per available report type.
You can associate the same symbol with more than one item if you desire.
When using custom terminal symbols in enhanced reports, there are two ways of
displaying the terminals on the drawing sheet:
Associating a symbol with a panel, where the symbol exactly represents the panel
panel-strip-
terminal configuration, and dragging the panel onto the drawing sheet. With this method,
the software displays the entire panel.
Associating a symbol with each individual terminal and dragging the desired terminals onto
the drawing sheet. With this method, the software displays the selected terminals with
their associated strips and panels, together with the appropriate macros.
When creating a terminal strip, you are required to use a basic repeating numbering pattern
(configuration) to enable logical numbering of terminals. A numbering pattern identifies the basic
numbering system, or stepping method used for terminals in a terminal strip. Set +1,-1,+2,-2, for
example, has a pattern of two, while the Set 1,2,3SH,4,5,6SH has a pattern of three.
You can label the terminals on a terminal strip according to any numbering system that you require
(up to ten characters in length). To facilitate logical terminal numbering, SmartPlant
Instrumentation requires you to configure the basic repeating numbering pattern (configuration) for
the terminals in the new terminal strip before defining that terminal strip.
When creating a strip in an I/O card or I/O termination, you use configurations that include
channels. If you want to create a terminal strip without channels in one of these panels, set the
number of terminals per channel to zero.
4. On the Number of Terminals in Pattern dialog box, type or select a number to define the
number of terminals to be repeated in the pattern and click OK.
7. Type or select the total number of terminals required in the terminal strip.
8. Select the starting number for the first terminal in the terminal strip.
11. In the Terminal Numbering Pattern data grid, click and type in the Prefix field, click and
type a value if you want to prefix the names of the terminals.
12. Select the Incremented check box if you want the terminal number to be incremented within
the pattern.
13. Select the Numbered check box if you want the number of the terminal to appear between
the prefix and the suffix.
14. In the Suffix field, click and type a value if you want a suffix for the names of the terminals.
15. From the Orientation list, select the connection orientation to the terminal:
The following procedure explains how to modify an existing configuration of terminals. Modifying a
terminal configuration does not affect the existing terminal strips. They retain their previous terminal
configuration.
3. On the Terminal Strip Configurationdialog box, select a configuration from the Configuration
name list.
4. Click Edit.
NOTE: The software does not allow you to change the terminal numbering pattern of an existing
configuration. Therefore, you have to define a new configuration if you need to make such a change.
Each of the following examples demonstrates how various features of the strip
configuration operate. In each case, the terminal strip has a repeating sequence of three
terminals, and a total of 8 terminals (the last 2 terminals are designated SPARE, and are
not shown)
This procedure explains how to create a terminal strip. You can add a terminal strip to a panel, rack,

forterminal connections with multiple wires.
Cables cannot be connected to terminal strips before the connection type is defined. Terminal
connection type defines how the wires are to be connected to a terminal strip, which wire is
connected to which terminal, and so forth. At this stage, you will connect the field wiring (the field
instruments) to the junction box. You will then connect the junction box to the field side of the
Distribution Frame. Subsequently, you will assign cables or Wiring Equipment / Plug and Socket
to MDF and connect them to the Equipment Cabinet of the Distribution Frame. Once the sides are
connected, you will perform an internal cross wiring within the Distribution Frame between the field
side terminals and the Cabinet side terminals.

Smart Plant Instrumentation employs two methods for implementing cable terminations direct
visualconnection, and a more advanced technique called connection type. The connection concept
behind thesemethods is based on the simple idea of letting you work as you would in the field,
meaning that if you install awire and connect it to a panel, for example, you can do exactly the same
on the screen.
The software enables you to make connections by using the drag-and-drop operation in the
Connectionwindow.
This procedure explains how to connect a cable or cable set to a terminal strip. The connection is
accomplished by dragging a cable or cable set to a terminal in the Connection window. Then, you
arerequired to define the cable connection, which effects the connection. Note that you can connect
only plantcables and panels and not reference panels and cables. However, while the Connection
window is open,you can copy reference items from the Reference Explorer to the Domain
Explorer and then drag them tothe Connection window.

Auto-wiring allows you to make automatic batch connections between specified terminal strips. This
featurefacilitates faster and more efficient wiring design especially when working on a grass-root
project where therequired wiring items already exist and you need to connect them. The essence of
this feature is that youcreate an auto-wiring routing task where you define a cable that will connect
two designated panels.
You can define an auto-wiring task for two different kinds of connection:
A connection between two existing panels.
A connection between a panel and a control system that will create cross wires or cross
cables.
The required reference cables and connection types must be defined and ready for use.
Furthermore, for cross wiring auto-wiring routing tasks, you must also ensure the following before
you startdefining your task:
The required instrument tags and their device panels already exist and they are connected
to theirjunction boxes.
There are instrument tags with pre-assigned I/O points essential for cross-wiring tasks.
There are defined reference wiring profiles for the required instrument types.
An auto-wiring task is a list of commands that SmartPlant Instrumentation runs according to pre-
selectedparameters. You define the End 1 and End 2 connections as well as the cable that
SmartPlantInstrumentation uses to make the connection. The cable that the software uses to make
the connection isautomatically created by the software. The definition of this cable is based on the
reference cable that youselect. The software checks whether a cable based on the selected
reference cable exists in the DomainExplorer and whether this cable has a sufficient number of
unconnected cable sets. If not, SmartPlantInstrumentation creates a new cable based on the
selected reference cable to accommodate the requiredconnections. You can customize the cable
name as needed or accept the suggested names. The softwareproposes cable end names based
on the names of the panels to be connected to End 1 and End 2. Anyadditional cables that the
software creates have identical names with a numeric suffix that is incremented byone for each new
cable; for example XYZ.1, XYZ.2, and so forth.
The following is a suggested flow of auto-wiring activities. The sequence in which you perform these
activities depends on your work preferences. In any case, make sure that you perform the first four
steps inthe following list before proceeding further.
1. Define a view profile for a new Auto-Wiring Routing Task browser in the Wiring group of the
Browser Manager.
2. Add and define a new view for the Auto-Wiring Routing Task browser.
3. If needed, define a view profile for the JB Pre-Assignment browser in the Instrument Index
group ofthe Browser Manager and then add and define a new view for the JB Pre-Assignment
browser.
5. Connect the junction boxes to the device panels using one of the following methods:
8. Create and run a new auto-wiring routing task to connect the last junction box to the control
system (oranother type of panel).
You use this feature to pre-assign specific junction boxes to selected instruments. This pre-
assignmentserves several purposes:
NOTE:
You can also click on the Auto-Wiring Browser View toolbar to open the JB Pre-Assignment
Browser View window.
3. Select the JB Pre-assignment browser and add a new browser view to this browser.

This procedure shows you how to disconnect cables from items on your drawing.
1. Open the Cable Block Diagram that you want to disconnect cables from.
2. Select the cable you want to disconnect.
3. Do one of the following:
Click
4. At the prompt, select the required check box, and click OK.
NOTE :
If the cable for disconnection is only connected to one item, no prompt will appear
and the cable is disconnected automatically.
Disconnecting both sides of the cable results in the loss of any wiring associated
with the connection.
You use the Associate Cable with Panels feature in conjunction with cable block
diagrams, to associate a specific cable to specific panels. When you use the cable in
your cable block diagram the panels that are associated with the cable are automatically
placed on your drawing along with the cable.By dragging panels from the Domain
Explorer to the Associate Cable with Panels window you can associate the panel with
either side of the cable. You can see which panels are already associated or connected
to the cable and to what side of the cable the panel is associated. Also you can move a
panel from one side of the cable to the other.
Tip: You can choose more than one cable at the same time by clicking the required
cables in the Itemspane in the Domain/Telecom Explorer. In the Associate Cable with
Panels window, you choose the cable that you want to associate to a panel from the
Cable pick list in the window.
3. Right-click the cable, and from the shortcut menu, click Actions>Associate Panels, the
Associate Cable with Panels window opens.
Tip: The Associate Cable with Panels window shows the physically connected panels
as well as the associated panels. A cable that is already associated to a panel,
displays next to the panels name.
A cable that is physically connected to a panel, displays next
to the panels name.
7. Close the Associate Cable with Panels window, click Yes at the prompt to save the
associations.
NOTE:
Cable relationships which were manually associated with panels are not removed
or deleted by the software when physically connected with the panels.
The relationship between the physically connected panels and the cable shown in
the Associate Cable with Panels window cannot be deleted. They are removed
when the cable is disconnected.
The Associate Cable with Panels window does not display, or take into
consideration, pre-assigned panels or junction boxes that were assigned using
instrument connection pre- assignment browsers.
SmartPlant Instrumentation creates and keeps track of wiring routing and connections by
identifying the wires and their connection points.
The wires and the items to which they are connected are arranged hierarchically as they appear in
the Domain Explorer.
The following sequence of operations is necessary for the creation of a wiring scheme:
Creation of panels, plug-and- socket boxes, terminal strips, wiring equipment, terminals,
and so on
Creation of cables, cable sets, and wires
Connecting wires to terminals.
In addition, tagged instruments may be wired so that their wiring routing is automatically tracked
and wire names are automatically propagated.
