PROCEDURE: Contracts using Tools other than SPI

While it is possible for contractors to use tools other than SPI for performing field designs and then import the data into SPI via the SPI Import Tool, it is not recommended. The potential for error becomes very large when importing data in this way. New contracts should make every effort to stipulate that contractors not use systems other than SPI for design work. In the event that the use of a non SPI tool is used, this procedure as documented here offers an insight into how data take-on can be handled. This procedure is not complete, in the event that this method of design is utilized, the Contractor shall consult a SPI specialist and a specialist for the tool they will be using to confirm the best way to handle data transfer.

5.1 Prerequisites for Contractor


5.1.1 Contractor Data Deliverables Definition
In order to do design work and then import all design data accurately from a tool which does not have a database which is directly compatible with that of SPI, the Contractor will need to be careful when setting up their systems and when delivering data. Contractors shall set up their softwares configuration to accurately reflect the configuration of the Local SPI plant at the time of design so that design data can be retrieved into the PBS configuration on SPI. Contractors shall confirm with experts on SPI and the design tool being used as to what data is needed to accurately reconstruct the design on the Local Database. A guideline of the types of data required will be given in this document, but these should not be considered complete and accurate.

5.2 Receiving data from suppliers


5.2.1 SPI Data Supply Format
All data which is to be imported into SPI from Contractors using tools other than SPI shall be provided in either Microsoft Excel (Office 2003 .xls or Office 2007 .xlsx) spreadsheet format or preferably Microsoft Access Database (.mdb) Separate Tables must be supplied for the various different information sets which are required in order to build the SPI database. The Excel spreadsheets shall be populated in line with standard templates which have been confirmed as accurate with a SPI expert corresponding to the type of data to be imported. o Instrument Data shall be populated in accordance with an Instrument Data Template. o Field Design Data shall be populated in accordance with the various Field Design Templates. The layout and ordering of the data templates shall not be edited or modified in any way once they have been confirmed. If Excel is used, Named tables shall be defined each spreadsheet containing all of the data which needs to be imported. Any data which is not needed by SPI on a worksheet can be ignored by not including it in the scope of the defined table. The tables shall be named in such a way as to reflect the data which is contained in the table. The naming convention employed shall be consistent across all data sets delivered. Data populated in the various fields shall have correct, relevant formatting so as to be suitable with the corresponding data type to which the data will be imported.

5.3 SPI Import Procedure


Data received from a Contractor shall be imported into the SPI database using the SPI Import Utility or the SmartPlant Instrumentation tool itself. To verify the accuracy of the supplied data, the data should initially be imported into the QA instance of SPI. Once the data has been validated there, it can be copied to the Production instance as the official configuration. To import data using the SPI Import Utility, all data fields supplied in the Excel spreadsheets or in an Access Database shall be mapped to relevant fields of the relevant tables in the SPI database. This mapping must be accurate and should be done by an SPI database expert. The essential fields which need to be populated will be explained in the relevant sections. If MS Excel spreadsheets are provided, it is recommended to migrate these into an MS Access database as the importing of data is faster and more stable between an Access database and the SPI database than from spreadsheets. The importing of data through the import utility is very slow and requires many steps. Great care must be taken when using the import tool. For certain functions it is far simpler and quicker to simply use the SmartPlant Instrumentation tool itself to recreate the database.

5.4 Data templates used for data import to SPI


As mentioned, the contractor supplying data shall confirm all data which is to be supplied at the onset of a project.

5.4.1 SPI Instrument Data Template


In order to capture the minimum required instrument data required for the development of a complete database and accurate Configuration Management data; the fields in Table 3 must be filled in for each instrument. There are additional fields which may or may not be populated depending on the nature of the instrument or piece of equipment. These fields are defined in

Table 4 these should be populated as is appropriate to the instrument or item of equipment as necessary. The
instrument types which may be used will be confirmed between contractor at the beginning of a project, this ensures data can be accurately imported.

5.4.2 SPI Wiring Equipment Import


In order to import wiring equipment into the SPI database, it is necessary to follow the following process to create all of the wiring equipment including DCS Cabinets, Junction Boxes, Cables and the connections of the cables to the relevant equipment. The following sections will briefly give an introduction into data imports. The mappings which are explained are the minimum mappings required in order to create basic equipment and connections. The mappings explained here do not necessarily conform to the standards used by the source provider and appropriate modifications may be necessary. The procedures detailed here do not show any metadata properties which may be appropriate for specific equipment. If this data is available, it can be included. 5.4.2.1 Importing DCS Panels The order of items which need to be imported will differ depending on the actual configuration of the system. The process that will be described below will show a typical process using a Siemens T3000 type system with ET200 panels with Marshalled Terminal Assemblies (MTA) as the basis. Figure 1 shows a typical Siemens ET Panel with internal Marshalling. In the example, there are two racks AC, BC and a Marshalling Terminal Assembly. The MTA is an array of 320x8 pins for connecting the field wiring to the relevant I/O Cards located in the racks. Importing the entire set of terminal strips can take a long time since each terminal needs to have a line written into the database and the import utility takes approximately 1.5s per line, so for say 10 DCS cubicles, the import operation may take in excess of 10 hours, but if the cubicles were created directly in SPI, it would only take a few minutes to create all of the cubicles with their associated terminal strips.

Figure 1: Example of Siemens DCS Panel with Internal Marshalling


To create this structure through the use of the Import Utility, there are 5 steps that need to be followed. 1. Create the DCS Panels 2. Create the Racks 3. Create the MTA Terminal Strip 4. Create Channels on the MTA Terminal Strip 5. Create the Terminals on the MTA TS 6. Create slots on the DCS Racks See Table 5 See Table 6 See Table 7 See Table 8 See Table 9

7. Assign Cards to the slots To import the DCS Panels, it is necessary to create a link in the Import utility using a single Table PANEL The Table definition must be left as the default table definition. The following fields need to be populated as a minimum.

Table 1: Panel Definitions to create a DCS Cabinet


Property Panel_Name Remark This is the name of the panel, the source table must contain a column which has the KKS names of the DCS Cabinets To create a DCS Cabinet, this value can be a static value of 5 in the link definition To create a DCS Cabinet, this value can be a static value of 510 in the link definition This can be a static N in the link definition.

Panel_Sub_Category_ID

Def_Flg

An example of how the source data would look is shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2: Example of DCS Panel Source Data


Each of the other steps can be followed in a similar manner. The corresponding tables Table 5 to Table 9 in Appendix B show which fields must be populated and what data those fields must be populated with.. For certain Items which are to be imported, it is necessary to use a table definition other than the default definition. To illustrate, when importing a terminal strip directly into a panel and when importing a terminal strip onto an apparatus such as an I/O Card on a Rack within a panel. Both terminal strips will be created on the Table Panel_Strip, but because the two strips are located at different levels, they will reference different types of parent items. The Terminal strip located directly in the panel will reference the parent item Panel_Name only, whereas the terminal strip on an I/O card will reference Panel_Name, Rack_Name and Apparatus_Name. To make the link in the import module work correctly, the correct table definition must be selected. For the example illustrated above where a Terminal Strip was located directly in the panel, (this would be the case for a junction box as well) Select the link properties -> select Table Definition -> Select Definition -> Select Panel-Strip as shown in Figure 3 > Apply the changes and select yes when asked if you wish to change from the default table definition. To validate that the Table Definition has changed, see the Definition column as shown in Figure 4.

5.4.2.2 Importing Junction Boxes The process for importing Junction boxes is very similar to the process for importing DCS Panels. A typical junction box structure is shown in Figure 5.

Figure 5: Typical Junction Box Structure


Three steps are needed to create the Junction boxes. 1. 2. 3. Create the Panels Create the Terminal Strips on the panels Create the Terminals on the Terminal Strips See Table 5 See Table 7 See Table 9

The same tables are referenced as for the creation of the DCS Panels; the major differences which need to be noted are that the Panel Category ID and Panel Sub Categories are different. The codes which are required are detailed in the details column of the tables.

5.4.2.3 Importing Cables To import cables three steps need to be followed. 1. The Cable Needs to be created 2. Each cable set within the cable needs to be created 3. Each wire within each cable set needs to be created Table 10 Table 11 Table 12

Figure 6 below illustrates the cable structure. The Cable name is 4 0HAD 4001 UH, there is only one cable set with name 1 and there are 4 wires numbered 1-4.

Figure 6: Cable Structure


Similarly to the previous section of this document, the tables and fields which must be populated in order to create the cable structures are shown in Table 10 to Table 12 of Appendix B.

5.4.2.4 Importing of Instrument Device Panels Each instrument that has wiring attached to it will need an associated device panel. Creating an instrument as specified previously simply creates a tag for the instrument without any associated wiring equipment. Creating a device panel allows a terminal strip to which wires can be connected to be created for an instrument. To create a device panel and associate it to an instrument, 4 steps need to be followed. 1. Create the device panel 2. Create the terminal strip for the device panel 3. Create the terminals on the terminal strip 4. Link the device panel to the instrument. Table 5 Table 7 Table 9 Table 13

The device panel can be given the same name as the instrument. When the device panel is created by SPI itself, this is the convention used.

5.4.2.5 Connecting Wires to Wiring Equipment At this point the import procedures for all of the basic equipment types have been explained. The next major step is to connect the wires in the cables to the associated wiring equipment. To import a connection only one basic step needs to be done. This basic step will need to be slightly altered and repeated for the different locations where connections can be made. 1. Connecting wires to device panels 2. Connecting wires to field side of junction box terminals 3. Connecting wires to the trunking side of the terminals 4. Connecting wires to the Marshalling terminals etc. Table 14 in Appendix B shows the fields which need to be populated in order to make a connection. Figure 7 is a typical example of how the import link would look when importing the wiring connections on instrument device panels to the instrument cables. In the example the cable number field is linked to instrument cable name. The cable set name field is linked to the static value 1 this is because all of the instrument cables were created with only one cable set. The panel name field is linked to the device panel, the device panels were named using the KKS code of the instrument appended with -DP for device panel. The set level field is linked to the wire number of the cable. The strip name field is linked to the static value TS this is because in this case all of the terminal strips on device panels were named TS The term seq field is linked to the wire number of the cable here because the device panel terminals were created using the wire numbers. To be more correct, this should be linked to a source field containing the corresponding terminal strip terminal number. The term side is set to R to connect to the Right side of the device panel terminal strip.
