1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. PCDH context

The Plant Control Design Handbook (PCDH) [RD1] defines methodology, standards, specifications and interfaces applicable to ITER Plant Systems Instrumentation & Control (I&C) system life cycle. I&C standards are essential for ITER to: Integrate all plant systems into one integrated control system. Maintain all plant systems after delivery acceptance. Contain cost by economy of scale. PCDH comprises a core document which presents the plant system I&C life cycle and recaps the main rules to be applied to the plant system I&Cs for conventional controls, interlocks and safety controls. Some I&C topics will be explained in greater detail in dedicated documents associated with PCDH as presented in Figure 1. This document is one of them.

Document scope

This document completes the PCDH [RD2] core document by focusing on methodology for plant system I&C design, see Figure 1. The scope is plant system I&C design for conventional and protection controls: this document does not address Safety controls IEC61508 relevant. Three topics are considered in this document: The plant system process which defines the plant system functions, operation sequences and feedback controls. The plant system I&C which defines how the plant system process is controlled.

The plant system operation which defines how the plant system is operated through the plant system I&C and the supervisory system (CODAC). Hence, all of these three topics have to be considered for the plant system I&C design. As a general statement, the plant system I&C design shall be driven by the plant system process first and then by the plant system operation.

ITER_D_ 353AZY

Specific attention is given to the definition of the plant system process. Usually the process description is defined by giving the way the plant system components are operated, using text documents and process flow diagrams. This document proposes in addition, an approach based on a functional description of the I&C functions for the definition of the plant system I&C architecture. CAD tools are involved in the plant system I&C design; their links with the plant system configuration database are addressed and commented in order to clarify the specific features which may be required with these tools. Details of these tools and the way to use them will be developed in a specific document. A five step method is proposed: the first three steps, which have to be performed as the first priority, are detailed; the two last steps will be defined in specific documents. Section 2 provides a summary of the method while details of steps 1 to 3 are to be found in section 6. Sections 3 to 5 provide background information on plant system I&C design.

2. SUMMARY
The plant system I&C design is performed in five steps, as follows: - Step1: Conceptual design of the plant system process. - Step2: Preliminary design of the plant system process and preliminary design of I&C functions. - Step3: Detailed design of the plant system I&C functions, preliminary design of operation state machines and HMI. - Step4: Definition of FAT and SAT scenarios and of the plant system integration plan for I&C. - Step5: Detailed Design of HMI functions and integration to plant wide operation. For step 1 to 3 CAD tools are required. These CAD tools address electrical, mechanical and fluid descriptions of the plant system; they are specified, selected and managed by the DO. Examples of such drawings are given in Figure 16 to Figure 22. The CAD drawings will have to be updated throughout the whole life-cycle of the plant system. IO, DAs and industry will be involved in this update process.

CAD tools involved in plant system I&C

Drawings type Mechanical drawings PFD drawings P&ID drawings Electrical drawings Functional analysis drawings Cubicle configuration drawings IO standard tools CATIA V5 See System Design See System Design See System Design See System Design See Electrical Expert

2.2.

Step1: Conceptual design of the plant system process.

This activity is fully integrated within the plant system design activity. The materials used are text documents, PFD CAD, Electrical CAD and mechanical CAD. There is no CODAC requirement on the CAD tools at this stage of the design. See Section 6.1 for details.

2.3.

Step2: Preliminary design of the plant system process and preliminary design of I&C functions.

This activity is still fully integrated within the plant system design activity and is focused on the definition of the plant system instrumentation. The same CAD tools as for step 1 are used. In addition a P&ID CAD tool is required for definition of the plant system instrumentation. See Section 6.2 for details.

Figure 3: Scheme for detailed design of the plant system process

2.4.

Step3: Detailed design of I&C functions.

This step is split into several tasks: - Detailed design of the plant system I&C architecture and definition of I&C controller properties. - Preliminary design of I&C cubicle configurations. - Preliminary design of I&C cabling for sensors and actuators. - Preliminary design of the plant operation state machines and preliminary design of drawings for the HMI. See section 6.3 for details. 2.4.1. Plant system I&C architecture and controller properties: Details of this architecture design methodology are provided in Section 8. The general idea is to proceed to the functional analysis of the plant system process using drawings; define and characterize the plant system I&C functions; then organize these I&C functions in order to group them according to those which are relevant to the plant system process and those for I&C controller features (performance, location, ). These data are pushed to the plant system configuration database manually.

2.4.2.

I&C cubicle configuration:

The I&C controller properties are used as inputs to configure the controller hardware and the cubicle, using a cubicle configuration CAD tool. The configuration data of the controllers are then exported to the engineering station to initiate software development for the I&C controllers; the software development is completed during the manufacturing phase of the plant system I&C. Compliance for data export between the cubicle CAD and the software development station is mandatory. The same data are exported to the plant system configuration database: in addition, an xml data export capability is mandatory. The cubicle configuration includes in addition: definition of the space reservation and consumptions for the I&C architecture (cubicles footprint, volumes, power consumption, ).

Figure 5: Scheme for controller hardware and cubicle configuration definition 2.4.3. I&C cabling for sensors and actuators:

The objective of this task is the definition of the sensor/actuator cables and of their interfaces at both extremities (i.e. the sensors/actuators and the I&C controllers). An electrical CAD tool is required and the best solution would be to use the electrical CAD tool used for steps 1 and 2. The work to be performed within this task is an engineering task requiring inputs derived from the sensors/actuators properties (see outputs of step 2) and the architecture and controller properties (see previous task of step 3). After completion of the definition of I&C cabling, data needed for I&C controller configuration are exported from the electrical CAD tool to: The plant system configuration database (xml format capability required) to complete the I&C signal properties such as I&C controller channel number. The I&C controller software engineering station for the same purpose (electrical CAD tool and software development station compliance mandatory).

Preliminary design of plant operation state machines and drawings for HMI:

The conceptual design of the plant operation state machine is given in step1: the plant system operation states are only listed. In step3 the preliminary design of theses state machines provides the details of the transitions between the operation states when the links and conditions are determined. The detailed design of these state machines is performed during the manufacturing phase. The drawings developed for the plant system design and available for mechanical, electrical and fluid descriptions may be used for mimic displays used for the HMI. In that case, a data export service for these drawings has to be performed by these CAD tools, details still TBD.

Step4: Definition of FAT and SAT scenarios and of the plant system integration plan for I&C.

Details to be defined further in a specific document. This step may lead to a review of step3 if there is an impact from the scenarios on the plant system architecture and on the topology of the I&C controllers.

Step5: Detail design of HMI

Step 5 is dedicated to the detailed design of HMI functions to be implemented within CODAC. Details to be defined further in a specific document.

5. Approaches for plant system design including I&C


To perform the design of any plant system which includes I&C functions, several approaches are required: The first one is component oriented to handle mechanics, fluids, electrics, location and assembly issues for the components of the plant system. The second is process function oriented to handle I&C specifications and architecture for hardware and software.

The third one is operation oriented for the HMI issues and organisation of operation. These three approaches are needed and may be implemented sequentially. One important feature for successful integration with ITER plant is that the future plant system operation and maintenance must drive the design of the plant system I&C: At every stage of the design the impact on operation and maintenance shall be considered. This document addresses the integration of the first two above-mentioned approaches for I&C design. The third approach will be addressed in specific documents attached either to central I&C systems activities or to ITER plant operation activities

6. I&C design, details


The following scheme is proposed for I&C design. It has to be considered as a generic scheme which needs to be adjusted to the particular plant system configuration since ITER is composed of so many different plant systems from I&C point of view. This is a step by step scheme to reach the final design before going to manufacture.

6.1. Step1
Step 1 is dedicated to the conceptual design of the plant system process. This step is typically performed within the conceptual design phase mentioned in Figure 10. The main objective is to issue the plant system I&C inputs required for the design. See PCDH for the input list. The main deliverables are: Text documents to describe the process for normal and off-normal operation of the plant system. The safety functions are mentioned in these documents but not detailed. There are no details of plant system protection functions in these documents at this stage of the design, but the ITER plant wide interlocks and safety functions are mentioned where the plant system is involved. The plant system operation states are defined, but not the state machines. All these materials are the inputs [I1], [I3], [I6], [I7], and [I8] mentioned in PCDH. Process Flow Diagrams (PFD) to support the process description for fluids processes. These diagrams are issued through CAD tool dedicated to that purpose and configured specifically for ITER, see section 2.1. They are part of input [I2] mentioned in PCDH. Electrical diagrams for the electro-technical part of the process.. These diagrams do not include cabling and wiring related to I&C, but only electrical links between the plant system components for power and earth at this stage of design. They are part of input [I2] mentioned in PCDH. Mechanical drawings to support the process description for the mechanical part of the process. These diagrams are issued through a unique ITER standard CAD tool dedicated to that purpose and configured specifically for ITER, see section 2.1. They are part of input [I2] mentioned in PCDH. Mechanical drawings and room book [RD5] are used to support the definition of the plant system layout in order to get the location of the plant system I&C components. List of standards applicable at this step of I&C design: An ITER library of symbols provides the IO standard representation of the components used in PFDs and electrical diagrams. This library is interfaced to the CAD tools. The ITER naming convention for components [RD1]. Methodology to be applied: 1. The description of the plant system process is initiated by the definition of plant system operation states for normal operation first; then the definition of the transition between these plant system normal operation states is added. To keep the design consistent, the work on text documents, PFDs and electrical diagrams shall be performed in parallel . 2. The analysis of component failures is performed. At this stage of design this analysis does not include the definition of failure detection but includes the definition of the plant system failure modes, consequences of the failure on the plant system operation and the way to recover from the failure. The impact of loss of utilities is considered in this analysis. RAMI analysis recommendations are used to include redundancy functions within the plant system. A risk analysis is performed to identify the interlocks for all of the plant system protection functions. Process description documents, PFDs and electrical diagrams are updated throughout the analysis process. 3. Safety functions and ITER plant wide interlock functions are added within the documents and diagrams. 4. A final review enables the consistency of all these documents to be checked. CAD tool access: By all people in charge of plant system I&C design within IO and DAs. Data exported to plant system configuration database at this step: The list of plant system operation states from the process description documents, but not description of the state machines, see step 3. Manual export process.

ITER_D_ 353AZY

6.2. Step2
Step 2 is dedicated to the preliminary design of the plant system process and the preliminary design of I&C functions. Thus this step focuses on definition of sensors, actuators and I&C signals. The main objective is to issue the deliverables [D4] and [D6] mentioned in PCDH. Main deliverables are: Text documents to provide further details about the process for normal and off-normal operation of the plant system. These documents are the documents mentioned in step1 but in their final version ready to be used for I&C design. They include details of plant system protections, interlocks and safety functions and details of feedback controls (algorithms, response time). The transitions between the plant system operation states are detailed. Process Flow Diagrams (PFD) to support the process description for the fluids processes. These diagrams are the final version of PFDs mentioned in step1. Electrical diagrams for the electro-technical part of the process. These diagrams are final versions of the diagrams mentioned in step1. They still do not include electrical links for I&C signals. Mechanical drawings for the mechanical part of the process. These drawings are the final versions of the diagrams mentioned in step1. Process and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&ID) are issued to support the process description and to initiate the design of the plant system I&C. These diagrams will mention all the sensors and actuators of the plant system for conventional controls (includes plant system protection), interlock and safety functions. These diagrams are issued by a unique ITER standard CAD tool dedicated to that purpose and configured specifically for ITER. They are part of deliverable [D4] mentioned in PCDH. List of plant system sensors and actuators and properties (name, location, range, unit, control type conventional/interlock/safety, accuracy, technology, acquisition rate, engineering conversion algorithms, filtering, signal, powering, electrical connections, mechanical connections, fluid connections, sensibility to perturbations, final property list still TBD) available within a sensor/actuator database which may be supported by the P&ID CAD tool. Text documents, PFDs and electrical diagrams are used as inputs for sensor and actuator definition (name, type, range, ..); mechanical drawings and room book are used to define location. Other properties are determined case by case. This list is the deliverable [D6]. List of standards required at this step of design: An ITER library of symbols provides the plant wide standard representations of the sensors and actuators used in P&IDs in addition to those mentioned in step1. This library is interfaced to the P&ID CAD tool. The standard naming convention for I&C signals [RD3]. Some standards for sensors and actuators at least within the plant system, but better for the whole ITER plant. Templates for definition of sensor and actuator properties. These templates are implemented through the sensor/actuator database. Methodology to be applied: 1. Completion of the process description document, PFD and electrical diagrams by implementation of the same method as that proposed in step1: start with normal operation, complete with off normal operation. Include the plant system protections and interlocks (definition and details) and details for the ITER plant wide interlocks and safety functions mentioned in step1. 2. P&ID are produced in parallel to the completion of the process description documents and PFDs It should not be forgotten to include monitoring of the utilities and external information required to operate the plant system coming from the other plant system. 3. Sensor and actuator properties are to be defined in the database. CAD tool access: By all people in charge of plant system I&C design within IO and DAs. Data exported to plant system configuration database: The list of plant system I&C signals and a part of their properties (some related to cabling to I&C controllers are still missing). The list of data coming from other plant system and needed for the plant system I&C. The drawings and diagrams of CAD tools to be used for mimic displays used for HMI

Step 3 is dedicated to the detailed design of I&C functions: definition of the plant system I&C architecture, specification of I&C controllers, preliminary design of I&C cabling and I&C cubicles and the description of state machines for the plant system operation states. In addition, a preliminary design of HMI is made. The main deliverables are: Functional analysis diagrams of the plant system I&C showing the breakdown in plant system I&C functions. A CAD tool is required for the diagrams. See section 8 for details. Characterisation of these I&C functions (location, response time, conventional/interlock/safety type, availability requirement, local control requirement, .). This characterisation may be supported by Microsoft Word documents (template to be provided). Plant system I&C architecture diagrams showing: - The I&C controllers, - The plant system field-buses, - The topology of the controllers (location of racks, connection of the racks), - The connections to CODAC architecture and specification of the controllers properties for type (fast/slow), - I&C functions handled, - I&C controller input/output definition (signal type, number, location) - Controller network addresses. Specific attention will be given to the definition of interfaces with other plant system I&Cs and CODAC, to the definition of the plant system protections and interlocks and to the feedback controls. A CAD tool is required for diagrams. The P&IDs mentioned in STEP2 may be updated during the progress of this I&C architecture. Preliminary definition of I&C cubicle hardware configuration to distribute the I&C controller racks within the I&C cubicles (LCC) and clarify the need for signal conditioning cubicles (SCC). A CAD tool is required. This CAD tool will support the definition of the whole I&C controller hardware configuration in order to get a comprehensive configuration to be exported in the software development stations for the I&C controllers. Preliminary definition of I&C cabling showing the connection of the sensors/actuators to the I&C controllers including the junction boxes if any (and location of these boxes), the earthing scheme to clarify the need for insulation, the powering scheme to clarify the need for power distribution, the routing of the cables within the building and the specification of the cables. Details of cabling for sensors/actuators and I&C cubicles is defined during the manufacturing phase. An electrical CAD tool is required. Plant system operation state machines defined using the software development environment dedicated to the slow or fast controller, which may be the software engineering station or any other compatible tool. This tool is specified by CODAC. Preliminary design of HMI is performed in addition: still TBD. Minimum list of standards required at this step of design: Guidelines for I&C controller topology.

The data export mechanism may be manual from the documents mentioned in this step of design. The definitive address of the I/O within the controller will be defined during the I&C manufacture phase, but the allocation to controller boards may be done at this level of design.

7. Requirements of tools for such a development process


CAD tools: All the CAD tools used at IO are defined and managed by the Design Office (DO). Refer to the DO for further documentation. This section gives additional information concerning use for I&C design scope only. It is assumed in this document that the drawings and data issued by the plant system suppliers would comply with these CAD tools. PFD CAD tool: This tool is dedicated to the plant system process design, step1 and step2. CODAC requirements: - Xml data export capabilities towards the CODAC software to build process mimics. - Support an ITER library of unique symbols (ANSI) providing the plant wide standard representations of the components.

The best would be to get a CAD tool which includes a signal database able to determine all the properties of the sensors/actuators and associated I&C signals, with an xml data export capability. CODAC requirements: - Xml data export capability towards plant system configuration database and to be a unique reference of data used by IO, DAs and industry for P&ID activities. - Support an ITER library of unique symbols (ANSI) providing the plant wide standard representations of the components. - P&ID diagrams update: Some consistency checking between the I&C controller source codes, plant system configuration database and the P&ID CAD tool diagrams shall be performed periodically; the way and tool to perform such controls is still TBD.

8. Methodology for plant system I&C architecture definition


8.1.

What is proposed for plant system I&C architecture ?


A schema of plant system I&C functions including internal and external links. A definition of the plant system I&Cs. A characterization of the I&C functions. A definition of software functions and hardware architecture of the I&C controllers.

An architecture of the full plant system I&C including the details of data communication. All these topics shall be addressed in the deliverable [D1] mentioned in PCDH, see Section 3 of that present document.

8.2.

The methodology for defining this I&C architecture

The methodology approach is functional and the starting point is the plant system SRD. The sub-deliverables of [D1] are: [D1]-1. A diagram of the plant system I&C functions. [D1]-2. A list of I&C functions to be performed by the plant system I&C and properties of these functions. [D1]-3. A distribution of these I&C functions in I&C controllers and a topology of these controllers. [D1]-4. A diagram of the architecture of the full plant system I&C with identification of the data exchange within the plant system I&C and with CODAC. [D1]-5. A distribution of the controller racks in I&C cubicles. A 12 step method is proposed: Sub-deliverable 1: the diagram of the plant system I&C functions: Step1. Translate the plant system functional description of SRD (text) into a drawing, keep I&C related functions only. IDef0 formalism is proposed with IGE-XAO software. See Figure 11.

Step2. Add oriented arrows between functions to show the I&C interfaces between the plant system internal functions and with other functions outside the plant system. (the former have to be defined with the plant system, the latter are defined in the SRD). See illustration in Figure 12. Step3. Define several plant system I&Cs as quasi autonomous I&C function of the plant system if possible.

Sub-deliverable 3: distribution of these I&C function in I&C controllers. Step7. Distribute the I&C functions in I&C controllers. The criteria for this distribution are: slow/fast, plant system I&C link, IO volume, location, redundancy, other criteria. Select the controller topology type, and name the controllers. The distribution of I&C functions within the I&C controllers is a critical phase: optimization of performance, of plant system operation and cost have to be taken in account in the distribution process. One rule has to be considered: Within a controller, the I/Os related to the same I&C function shall be connected to the same controller rack. This rack shall be a separate one if a re-allocation to another plant system I&C for improved consistency of the future operation is envisaged.
