X._ Examples of developing the scope for industrial control systems in the past |
|
I AM NOT A MANAGER JUST AN AUTOMATION CONTROL ENGINEER. Just be aware that, < if we remove the old legacy system is not way to go back.> ... Every control systems is attached to a process, so it is unique, in considering an upgrade, retrofit or re-engineering; the new control system has to emulate and exceed the existing legacy control; so the new HMI feel and look hast to very similar to the existing operational familiarity; nice!, the PLC and integration of new technology is free to change; the user do not care for this modules. ... The scope for industrial control systems (ICS), involves defining the objectives, and components of the system to ensure that the project is well-defined, manageable, and signed by everyone related to the process environment, ... 1. Project Objectives and Purpose: Clearly define SAFETY, purpose, objectives, understand what the system is intended to control, monitor, critical infrastructure; and make everyone to signed it. .. 2. Stakeholder Identification: Identify all relevant stakeholders involved in the project, including end-users, management, IT teams, operational staff, maintenance personnel, and any regulatory bodies that may have oversight. .. 3. System Components and Functionality: List the key components, modules, and functionalities that the industrial control system will include. BOM: Hardware components like sensors, actuators, PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers), SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems, HMI (Human-Machine Interface) software, networking equipment, and more ... 4. System Boundaries: Clearly define the physical and logical boundaries of the ICS. Specify the interfaces with external systems, data flows, and communication protocols. ... 5. Functional Requirements: Outline the specific functions that the ICS should perform. These could include monitoring variables, controlling processes, alarming, logging, reporting, and any other operational tasks that the system needs to accomplish. ... 6. Non-Functional Requirements: Identify non-functional requirements such as performance, security, reliability, scalability, and maintainability. These aspects are crucial for the overall success of the ICS and should be explicitly stated in the scope. ... 7. Integration and Interoperability: Describe how the ICS will integrate with existing systems, infrastructure, and IT networks. Address any compatibility or connectivity requirements to ensure smooth integration. ... 8. Project Deliverables: Clearly state the expected deliverables at various stages of the project. This might include design documents, system architecture diagrams, software code, test plans, user manuals, and more. ... 9. Project Timeline and Milestones: Provide a rough timeline for the project, including major milestones such as design completion, development, testing phases, and the final deployment date. ... 10. Risk Assessment: Identify potential risks that could impact the project's success and detail how these risks will be managed and mitigated. ... 11. Change Management: Outline how changes to the scope will be managed and approved. Establish a clear process for handling scope changes and their potential impacts on the project timeline and budget. ... 12. Approval and Sign-Off: Share the developed scope document with key stakeholders for review and approval. Obtain their signatures to signify their agreement with the scope statement. ... 13. Remember that the scope document is a living document and may need adjustments as the project progresses and requirements evolve. Regular communication with stakeholders is essential to ensure alignment and successful execution of the industrial control system project. .. .. ... |
X._ Estimating hours needed for converting PLC,
HMI programs? |
|
It is challenging and depends on several factors. These factors include the complexity and documentation of the existing systems, the scope of changes required, the familiarity of the team with the new technology, and the overall project management approach. Keep in mind that every project is unique, and unexpected issues can arise, so the estimate should be treated as a guideline rather than an absolute certainty. Regularly reviewing and updating the estimate as the project progresses will help keep the timeline on track. Here are some steps taking to create an estimate: |
X._ Estimating hours needed for removing old and
installing new PLC, HMI? |
|
My best approach is to evaluate how much downtime the company could afford without the operational equipment. It is possible to scale UP -by preserving existing legacy and integrating add-on controls module to minimize the software development. .. .. ... |
X._Digital motor drives and standard motor drives
|
|
Advantages of Digital Motor Drives: Integration with Automation Systems: Digital drives can be easily integrated into larger automation and control systems due to their digital communication interfaces (such as Ethernet, Modbus, Profibus, etc.). This enables seamless communication and coordination in complex industrial setups. ... Advantages of Standard Motor Drives: Low Complexity Maintenance: Maintenance personnel who are accustomed to older technology might find standard motor drives easier to troubleshoot and repair due to their simpler design. Ultimately, the choice between digital motor drives and standard motor drives depends on the specific application requirements, the level of control and precision needed, energy efficiency goals, available budget, and the existing technological infrastructure, but there will still be cases where standard motor drives are a practical choice. |
X._ Retrofitting is one way trip, < There is
no way back!> |
|
Once authorize the go-ahead and tech personal begin cutting wires to reuse existing actuators, sensors and smart serial or networkable it may NOT be possible to reverse / going back to old control systems; Whoever there others less risk alternative by creating a redundancy controls

This is different process it may not relate to you; here the company has an existing silicon furnace; we preserve the HMI and only upgrade the PLC Controls, 1996, I was the control engineer responsibly for the upgrade; again every time is the question How much time is allow for the control system project, it has to be deliver in time and has to emulate and be better from the old control box.
