1 Scope
1.1 Introduction
This Saudi Aramco Engineering Procedure (SAEP) provides instructions for the
development and approval of an Integration Specification Document (PAS-ISD)
for all Integrated Process Automation System. The PAS-ISD must be developed
during the integration of the PAS and is expected as a deliverable with the 602
NMRs. The PAS integrator shall utilize the opportunity of all PAS sub-systems
being together in one location for FAT and immediately conduct the IFAT
afterwards.
1.2 Definition
The PAS-ISD is a document prepared by the PAS integrator that provides the
technical specifications for the different systems and sub-systems including
hardware, applications, data and communications interfaces. The PAS
integrator shall while preparing the PAS-ISD considers the project and other
Company requirements. The PAS-ISD is only required if the project includes an
Integrated Process Automation System (IPAS).
The IPAS is a system with two or more Process Automation Systems (PAS)
linked via a common backbone or a wide-area network. Examples of IPAS are
DCS/PMIS, SCADA/PMIS, and DCS/SCADA. Systems connected by serial
interfaces do not fall under the category of IPAS.
1.3 Purpose
The PAS-ISD shall constitute the basis for the design of an Integrated Process
Automation System (IPAS).
1.4 Timing
The PAS-ISD is part of the 602 and 603 series of NMRs (Non-Material
Requirements) as described in SAEP-16. It is required that this document be
approved by Saudi Aramco prior to any detailed design of the IPAS.

2.1 Any conflicts between this Procedure and other applicable Saudi Aramco
Engineering Procedures (SAEPs), Saudi Aramco Engineering Standards (SAESs),
Saudi Aramco Materials System Specifications (SAMSSs), Saudi Aramco
Standard Drawings (SASDs), or industry standards, codes, and forms shall be
resolved in writing by the Company or Buyer Representative through the
Manager, Process & Control Systems Department of Saudi Aramco, Dhahran.
2.2 Direct all requests to deviate from this Procedure in writing to the Company or
Buyer Representative, who shall follow internal company procedure SAEP-302
and forward such requests to the Manager, Process & Control Systems
Department of Saudi Aramco, Dhahran.

5 Instructions
Section 6 provides the guidelines for the format and contents of the PAS-ISD.
Sections shown are the minimum topics that shall be included by the PAS-ISD.
Other sections may be included as required by the FSD or by the PAS Integrator.
The PAS-ISD shall address all interfaces of the PAS being tested. The PAS-ISD
shall identify multiple tests if needed for a PAS with multiple systems.
The Table of Contents shall include the paragraph and all titled subparagraph
numbers and their corresponding page number. Show at least two levels of
paragraph headings and page numbers.
5.3 Drawings
Flow charts, Block diagrams and other visual aids shall be used to supplement
and/or clarify the text. As a minimum, a conceptual system drawing depicting
the main elements, including each module on the main communication network,
shall be supplied.
