Pre-Installation Planning - Electrical Considerations
Site Plan Documentation
Documenting the plan for installing a process control structure yields significant benefits:
The task of installation planning itself is facilitated.
•
Properly organized documentation greatly facilitates each step of the installation process, particularly
•
when planners and installers are different persons.
After initial installation, good documentation facilitates modification and troubleshooting.
•
For long-term maintenance, good documentation aids in the orderly transfer of knowledge required for
•
safe and secure process operations.
Time and effort spent at the beginning of a project is quickly recovered in the efficient execution of each
planning and installation procedure. To reduce the burden of documenting an HC900 Controller
installation, several data-collection aids are given in Appendix A of this manual. These include:
sample diagrams ("maps") of site facilities and of networking systems
•
fill-in templates that aid in collection and organization of installation data.
•
Use of these documentation aids will ease the task of coordinating hardware installation tasks with software
configuration tasks (for example, placement and wiring of I/O modules and configuring Rack, Module, and
Channel data in the configuration file.)
