independent of any bypass, override or latch function. All I/O cards shall provide LED
identification of card status (faulty, healthy, etc).
All I/O circuits shall include a current limiting transformer to prevent damage upon
short-circuiting of I/O field circuit conductors. All I/O circuits shall provide transient
suppression in accordance with IEEE 472 and undergo surge withstand capability
testing. Lightning suppression devices are required. As a standard, all I/O circuits shall
be individually isolated, utilizing integral solid-state optical or transformer isolators. In
addition, all 240V AC I/O circuits shall incorporate external interposing relays. Each
I/O circuit shall be individually fused with automatic blown fuse monitoring. This shall
be in the form of resetable electronic fuses.
For all I/O circuits, the negative terminal at the I/O card in the system cabinet shall be
at the clean instrument earth level. All other points in the circuits shall be isolated from
earth.
I/O Point shall be individually isolated. Failure of one point shall not freeze the whole
card.
All I/O shall be time stamped by the controllers and have a resolution of at least 100
milliseconds.
All inputs shall be self resetting, however, alarms will latch. This alarm latching will be
performed by the PMCS. Interlocking shall be configured such that outputs cannot be
reset prior to the associated inputs becoming clear.
There shall be three types of DI point which may be used on this project:
• A clock synchronization signal from the PMCS to the FGS. This shall be powered
and fused at 24 VDC 1A by the PMCS.
The field devices shall be coupled to the signal conditioning circuits of the logic system.
Signal conditioning shall include galvanic isolation, non-integrating input filters and time
delays to isolate field equipment from system logic and to prevent operation of the
system by any mechanical vibration.
All DI points shall be latched in their latest driven state until scanned or read into the
FGS.
Each DO circuit shall incorporate an output driver to activate the field device and
a logic protection device to guard against field generated interference.
Output defeats shall not be incorporated into the FGS. The design of multiple
path logic systems shall allow testing of the FGS electronics without the use of
output defeats.
AI points shall be 0 to 20mA DC with a maximum input resistance of 250 ohms they
shall be direct acting (increasing signal causing increasing output). There shall be the
following types of AI point:
• Two-wire or three-wire field devices. The 24V DC loop power shall be supplied
by the FGS and the current shall be sourced by the FGS. These will generally
be used where a single field transmitter will be signal conditioned within the FGS
to generate both high-high and low-low trip points;
All events where AI points move through an alarm point shall be latched until scanned
or read into the FGS.
All AI points shall be automatically monitored for short-circuit (above a threshold over
20mA) and open-circuit (below a threshold under 4mA) faults. The thresholds shall be
fully programmable.
All AI points shall be individually isolated and individually fused on the high (supply)
side. The fuse rating shall be 250mA. All AI points shall have an individual power
regulator to provide field transmitter power.
Maintenance override and start-up bypass functions shall be provided for selected AI
points. These points are shown on the FGS I/O schedule. Maintenance override and
start-up bypass functions shall be implemented after signal conditioning and alarm
generation has occurred.
A dedicated workstation shall be provided for the FGS which is to be installed at the
ICCS control room as indicated in the ICCS control room equipment layout (12-MEGP-
I-5000). The workstation will be connected to Ethernet TCP/IP communication network.
• Status of all FGS I/O, including, as applicable, field status, maintenance override
status, start-up bypass status, latch status, logic status, etc.;

• FGS operator interface panel integral to the PMCS operator HMI on which a
number of manually operated devices shall be installed. These are the covered
FGS zone pushbuttons.
The PMCS will co-ordinate alarm handling of pre-alarms generated by the FGS and
process shutdown alarms transferred from the FGS. These will be interleaved on
common alarm lists in the PMCS. In order to synchronize alarm time stamping, the
PMCS shall periodically reset the FGS clock via peer to peer connection from the
PMCS to the FGS (eg. at 1 am every morning, as determined by the PMCS master
clock). Note: this may be achieved by use of network time protocols NTP or equivalent.
Alarm points shall be transferred from the FGS to the PMCS via a peer to peer
connection. If the PMCS can manipulate externally time-stamped alarm points, the
PMCS shall receive time-stamping information with the relevant alarm points (e.g.
tenths of a second after 1 am). Alternatively, the PMCS may time-stamp the
occurrence of alarm points when they enter the PMCS. If this second option is taken
up, the PMCS will also include the facility to upload at any time a full sequence of
events alarm list, complete with time-stamping information, from the FGS. Details of
alarm co-ordination shall be resolved at the time of functional design specification
development.
The operator interface shall be designed so that faults on any part of the operator
interface or failure of the communication link between the FGS and the PMCS shall not
degrade the stand-alone functionality or the reliability of the shutdown actions of the
FGS.
The operator interface shall be designed so that “no information” is synonymous with a
healthy system. That is, with the process conditions normal, no bypass(s) or
override(s) operated, all outputs in the healthy, reset position and no faults on the
system, and then all associated alarms will be off.
A system integration specification for the interface between the FGS and the PMCS
shall be produced by the FGS VENDOR for implementation at the PMCS end of the
interface by the PMCS VENDOR and at the FGS end of the interface by the FGS
VENDOR.
The hardwired mimics shall contain simplified geographical lay-outs of the plant area
which is to be monitored, showing all traffic access gateways, roads and major plant
equipment for each process unit. The lay-out shall be in accordance with the plot plans.

Project Title
The mimic panel shall be ergonomically integrated with the FGS panel. The mimic
panel shall incorporate separate confirmed (voted) fire, flammable gas and toxic gas
alarms as well as system fault alarms.
The FGS PLC shall group together all types of FGS inputs for a single zone, unit or
equipment item(s). If any zone is in the confirmed alarm state, a zone or unit alarm
LED on the mimic panel shall operate. Separate 'zoned' indications shall be provided
for fire, flammable gas, toxic gas and system alarms.
Detector types shall be identified by means of coloured LEDs. The colour code shall be
as follows:
• fire : red,
Flammable gas visual alarms should distinguish between low alarm and high alarm
values by assigning one LED for low alarm and one LED for high alarm.
The LEDs shall be mounted so that they protrude at least 3 mm above the surface of
the panel to enable an alarm to be recognized from various angles.
The following plant common alarms shall be grouped in the top left-hand corner to
facilitate quick appraisal by operating personnel. Each alarm shall be presented by
means of a coloured lamp and the corresponding text as appropriate.
• fire,
• flammable gas,
• toxic gas,
• system fault,
• utility fault,

The normal situation shall be indicated by extinguished LEDs and lamps on the mimic.
In the event of an alarm, the relevant LEDs and lamps shall start flashing. After
acknowledgement the flashing shall stop and change to a steady light, but it shall be
reactivated on the recurrence of any alarm condition. Return to the normal situation,
after acknowledgement, shall extinguish the LEDs and lamps.
The audible alarm shall be annunciated in the control room by means of a buzzer
mounted at the rear of the mimic having an intermittent tone at 2000 Hz, which shall
stop when the operator acknowledges the alarm by means of a button on the mimic.
A wind speed and direction indicator shall be mounted in the top right-hand corner.
Plant North shall be indicated on the mimic by an arrow.
The mimic panel shall have a scratch-proof, non-reflective plastic surface. A 'mosaic',
e.g., multi-tile, lay-out shall be provided to facilitate future modification of the panel.
The following controls, mounted in the bottom section of the mimic panel, shall be
available to the operator:
• Lamp Test: a non-latching push button to test all indication lights on the mimic.
• Acknowledge: A push button to change all alarm lights (except for the plant
beacons) from flashing into steady and to silence the audible alarm in the control
room.
• NOTE: Pressing this acknowledge button will not acknowledge the DCS alarm.
The operator has to acknowledge the DCS alarm separately.
• Reset: A push button to reset all visual and audible alarms, provided that all
initiators have returned to normal.
• All-Clear: A push button to initiate an all-clear signal in the buildings and in the
plant.
• Fire Alarm: A push button to manually initiate a fire alarm with effects similar to
the activation of a break glass push button.
• Toxic Gas Alarm: A push button to manually initiate a toxic gas alarm in the
relevant unit.
• Flammable Gas Alarm: A push button to manually initiate a flammable gas alarm
in the relevant unit.

The capacity of the FGS is defined by the FGS I/O schedule. In order to allow for
expansion, a minimum of 20% installed backplane spare capacity shall be provided, in
addition to 20% installed I/O capacity.
The FGS shall be designed such that input/output and logic module expansion by
modular addition is possible without impacting the current system operation.
Expansion shall be able to be implemented with the FGS fully powered and
operational. Expansion shall be achieved by straight addition, not modification, of
hardware and with a minimum of software and programming changes.
5.11 Reliability
The FGS shall tolerate a power interruption time of 1 second without disrupting its
operation.
Loss of power to the FGS, (beyond the power ride-out period) shall, upon subsequent
restoration of power, result in automatic reboot of the system to full operation within
five minutes. However, the system logic shall revert to its fail safe state after automatic
reboot.
The VENDOR shall state the availability of the proposed FGS as a whole. This should
exceed 99.99%, with no degradation mode, based upon a modular change-out
maintenance philosophy utilizing held spares. It is crucial that failure of one point shall

functions:
• Fault and status indication, including discrepancy alarms on multiple path logic
systems;
In case of a hardware fault occurring, the diagnostic software shall display on the
PMCS / FGS engineering HMI and PMCS operator HMI time stamped address location
information and provide a graphical presentation of the faulty card location together
with descriptive fault repair instructions.
All FGS shutdown paths shall be tested from input to output automatically with a new
test being initiated at least every thirty minutes. The diagnostic routines shall involve
the generation and monitoring of test pulses which are fast enough to not affect
electro-mechanical output devices. If a test shows that the expected change at the
output is not in accordance with the known C&E relationship (held in a diagnostic map)
then an alarm shall be generated. This testing shall be overridden by an input
changing into the shutdown state. The automatic test system shall have a watch-dog
VECO Doc. No. 20298-01-EJ12-003
Project Title
The design of the FGS shall be on a modular basis to simplify fault finding, with
maintenance being by replacement of complete cards so as to minimize down-time.
All controller, communication, non-volatile memory, and I/O circuit cards shall have
multiple red and green LED indicators to facilitate the identification and repair of failed
cards.
The FGS shall provide the capability to replace a failed part with a spare, on-line and
under power without affecting the existing FGS operation.
The FGS shall be designed to provide maximum ease of equipment servicing. All
necessary hardware, software, drawings and test equipment required to execute fault
identification shall be provided by the VENDOR.
The electrical portion of the FGS, including all wiring, shall be in accordance British
Standard Wiring Rules. The VENDOR shall bring to the attention of the COMPANY all
deviations from this standard for clarification and final ruling.
Exposure of personnel to voltages greater than 24V (AC or DC) shall be prevented.
This shall be accomplished by complying with the requirements of BS 7671, in
particular, by ensuring adequate safety earthing, by segregation of different voltage
levels and by covering and labeling of equipment at voltages greater than 24V DC.
The FGS, as offered, shall be supplied with provisions for protecting against system
errors and hardware damage resulting from electrical transients on power or signal
wiring. These transients include those generated by switching large electrical loads, by
power line faults and due to lightning strikes which induce surges on power or signal
cables. The IEEE Standard 472 shall apply to all FGS power inputs and signal inputs
from field devices.
The most common sources of electromagnetic radiation are portable VHF hand-held
radio transceivers with 5 watts of power and portable UHF hand-held radio transceivers
with 4 watts of power. Other sources are fixed radio stations, vehicle radio
transmitters, commutator type electrical devices and spurious sources such as from
welders and contactors. The FGS shall be immune from these EMI/RFI interferences
in accordance with SAMA PMC 33.1. Particular attention shall be given to the
immunity of the FGS to RFI from hand-held radios potentially transmitting at a distance
