WIRING MODULE
The wiring module is based on Panel and Cable concept. Any object which requires a
cable connection is called Panel and joining two panels are Cable. Each panel will
have terminals as per its requirement. Similarly, different types of cables will have different
types of wires in it.
So, panels will be following : Instrument, Junction Box, Marshalling Cabinet, System
Panels, etc. and cables will be single pair, multi pair, core cable, etc.
On pop-up Default Panel Manager right click and select New Inst. Panel and further
to Device Panel (conventional).
Give a name of the Device panel and the device panel will be created with the name.
Right click on newly created device panel and select New and then Strip / I/O.
In the pop-up Window of Terminals in pattern choose the no. of terminals as required.
Give a name to this new terminal strip. On the right hand side of the Window under
Terminal numbering tick mark the boxes as per requirement. Prefix-suffix with the
number also can be set here.
Note : Before creating the terminal strip, one should be very clear about the instrument wiring
and the number of terminals with its numbering philosophy.
Now in the same Window, Strip Terminal Configuration click on Create. Now,
the same terminal strip will be created under the new Device Panel.
Note : Expand the device panel and see the terminal strip under it.
Note :
Similar way JB, Marshalling rack and system cabinet will be created.
While creating JB, choose JB (generic).
While creating MR, choose Marshalling rack.
While creating Syst. Cabinet, choose DCS or PLC in the pop up Window.
After creating these panels, create terminal strips in them as required.
For MR and Syst. Cabinet creation follow the approved drawing of the DCS vendor.
Generally, apparatus are required when wiring connections on a device are dissimilar, i.e.
incoming wiring terminals and outgoing wiring terminals are different. For example, signal
splitter, FTA card or relay.
Give a name (relevant name like FTA, Relay, etc.) to it. Now, come down to the
Apparatus Configuration Window. Here, depending on the apparus wiring connection,
create Left and right terminal nos. accordingly and give number of terminals.
Depending upon the number of signals connected on a single Apparatus choose the
no. in Number of apparatus-es in the box. Then save it and after that click on create
to create the apparatus in the selected panel.
Now, after creating all Typical panels in the Default panel, open the Panel which is the
project specific panel. Then drag each created panel except instrument device panel in the
Panel and give name as per the naming philosophy i.e.
for JBs put the actual JB name
for MRs put the actual MR name
for System put the actual System Cabinet name
Creation of Instrument Device Panel :
Go to Inst. Index module. Select Table on the menu. Then go to Instrument Type and
select a type of instrument. Say Pressure Transmitter is selected. After selecting PT go to
profile and then its Wiring & Control System Window.
In the Default Device Panel box in the drop down table, choose the created device panel
which will suit to this type of instrument.
Similarly, after cable creation, attach a particular cable in the Conventional Connections box
by new button.
So now, for PT type of instrument a particular type of Device Panel & Cable is attached.
Now click okay.
Now go to index browser, select all the particular type of PTs and then right click on them
and select Generate Device Panel & Cable. All selected PTs will now be available in the
panel Window with tag nos.
Creation of Cables
All typical cables will be created in the Default Cable. For creating a cable (say 12 pair) the
following steps are to be followed:
Right click anywhere inside of the cable Manager box and select cable.
Cable Configuration pops-up. In the box of Total No. of sets choose 12 as we are
creating 12 pair signal cable and in the box of default cable set type choose pair or pair
with shield. Then OK it.
Now, in the cable configuration window shows a 12 pair cable without pair no. but default
wire colour. Now, in the cable set, type pair #1, pair #2 pair #12 and give a name of
the cable.
create button and cable properties window pops-up. Choose the glands as per the
cable diameter and click OK.
Close the cable configuration window. A new cable of 12 pair is created in the Default
cable manager with 12 sets of pair.
Like 12 pair cable, other typical cables can be created in the Default Cable Manager. Now,
open the Cable which is project specific cables. Drag a multi pair cable from the Default
Cable Manager to Plant cable Manager with a cable name. For example, JB NO.100-IM001, the multi pair cable No. is C-100-IM-001.
Like this, for all JBs, a particular cable should be dragged from Default Cable Manager to
Plant Cable Manager and give name to that cable.
Note: For Branch cables, do not drag them, instead attach them in the Instrument type profile.
Now, all possible panels with terminal strips and cables with wires are created in the Plant
Panel and Plant Cable Manager.
Actual wiring we will start after I/O assignment in the system panels.
Right click on a system cabinet and then select new and choose Strip or I/O card.
Give name as per type of card. Fill other information as per the card details i.e., total
number of terminals, number of terminals per channel, first channel starting at etc. and
terminal numbering philosophy. Then save it and then click Create button.
I/O card Properties window pop-up. Give a proper name and click on Control Syst.
In the Control Syst window, fill the details in the Control System Details boxes. i.e.,
a) System I/O type
b) Control Processor
If it is redundant I/O, then click on Define a redundant I/O. Once you click on redundant
I/O, the secondary location boxes will be enabled. Fill the redundant I/O card location as
per the system design. Click Ok.
Note:
If any card is taking double width, then click on Double width box.
Now, a particular I/O card has been created in the selected system cabinet. Similarly, create
all other cards in that cabinet. If any type of card is more than one, then you can Duplicate
the card instead of creating a new one. Right click on the card and select Duplicate.
I/O Assignment
The steps are as follows :
Expand the system cabinet. Choose a particular I/O card; Say AI card.
I/O assignment window pops-up. This window is divided vertically into halves. In the left
half, all the tags which are yet to assign will be shown. (i.e. only a particular type of signal
i.e., A1, A0, D1 D0 etc.). On the right half, is the particular card and its channel numbers.
Now, drag a tag no. from left half and release it on a particular channel on the second half.
Like this, I/Os can be assigned against each card.
All the Panels with terminal strips in the Plant Panel Manager i.e. instrument
device panel, JB, MR and System Cabinet.

iii.
All the types of instrument in the Index browner mode should be assigned
Generate device panel and cabinet.
Now to start with wiring module, we should always start from the field side and then
progress towards control room side.
Since the instrument is already attached with cable, we shall start connection from field
JB.
The following steps are to be followed :
Select terminal strip and then click Connection on module menu bar.
The JBs terminal strip opens. Now click on Cables on module menu.
All unconnected instruments are available in the Plant Cable Manager. Drag the
instrument cable on the screw of the JB terminal (left side)
A window Cable Connection Definition pops up. Choose Connection type from
the drop down menu and click on Connect button.
The instrument will be connected on the left hand side of the JB.
After connecting all the instruments on the left hand side of the JB, drag the multi
pair cable from the Plant Cable Manager and release it on the right hand side
screw of the JB terminal strip.
Note : Now on the JB terminal strip you can see that the tag no. on the left hand side
are automatically propagated to the right hand side. At the same time cable nos.
branch as well as multi pair cable are seen.
After the JB connection, the other end of multi pair cable is to be connected to the
Marshalling rack.
Select the terminal strip where the multi pair cable will be connected. Right click on
the terminal strip and choose Connect or click on Connect at the module menu
bar.
Drag the multi pair cable of he connected JB and drop on the left hand side, screw
terminal of the terminal strip.
Note : In the Cable Connection Definition window select 2in a row connection type
for all cable sets. (This is because for shield no terminal is used, a common shield bar
at the bottom is generally used).
The tag nos. on the JB are now propagated upto the marshalling cabinet.
Now on the right hand side the terminal strip will be connected to FTA or signal
stabilizing card. Here we have to carryout cross wiring.
Before cross wiring let us go to I/O card level, I/O card should be connected to FTA
through prefab. cable.
Create a prefab cable in the similar way of cable creation in default cable manager
and then bring the same in Plant Cable Manager with a cable name.
Then go to DCS I/O card and click Connection and drop the prefab cable (which
connects the I/O card and the FTA).
(Note : On the left hand side al the tags assigned to this I/O card will be seen).
Now go to FTA card which was created in the marshalling cabinet. (This may be
an apparatus). Select the FTA and click Connection.
Terminal strip of DTA pops-up. Now open the Plant Cable Manager and select the
prefab cable (which was connected to I/O card) and expand it.
Now go to the wire level and drag and drop one by one on the right hand side of
the terminal strip.
(Note: You can see the tag nos. are also seen on right hand side after connecting
the wire).
Cross Wiring :
Now, we have completed wiring from field instrument to JB to Marshalling cabinet and
other side from DCS I/O to FTA card one side.
Between field side marshalling terminal and FTA card we have to connect. This is to be
done by cross wiring.
The following steps are to be followed :
Go to marshalling cabinet terminal strip where the cable of the JB is connected and
select it at the same time to the FTA terminal strip and select the same.
After selecting both of them go to the module menu bar and click Cross Wire.
Cross Wire window pops-up. Select primary strip as marshalling strip and
secondary strip as FTA strip.
Click on the screw terminal of any tag on MR-strip and then click on the terminal on
FTA-strip of the same tag. Thus a single wire is cross wired. Like this one by one
all the tags will be connected.
Note : on FTA strip window, after each wire connection a screw will pop-up on the
left side of each terminal).
Now all the connections were made. To see whether the connections are made O.K or
not go to Loop Drg. module, go to loop no. and then go to generate and select
Point to Point Wiring Dia. to view the connection.
Jumper Connection :
Whenever jumper connection is required go to that terminal strip and click
Connection.
The terminal strip opens
Select the terminals where the jumper is to be made, choose which side of the
terminals and colour and then click O.K.
Now the jumper connection is made, and the selected terminals are highlighted with
colours chosen.
Local Signals :
Local signals are those signals whose wiring is not starting from the actual instruments
(i.e. no branch cable by IC). Some of the local signals are as follows :
a)
MCC Control Signals : These signals (i.e. running start / stop, current etc.) are
wired by EL up to an interface cabinet where from IC connects the signals into
DCS / PLC system. So, wiring is to be done from interface panel.
b)
Pump Seal Signals : Some times IC consider a common pump seal contact
instead of individual pressure and level switch signals. This is because to reduce
I/O count at system In that case, we consider the common signal as a Local
Signal in Intools.
c)
Local signal should be considered as an I/O in the system, but do not generate any
device panel & cable for it. Since the multi pair cable or a pair cable will be connected
from the intermediate terminal strip.
For such local signals wiring, following steps are to be followed :
Now in this new device panel create the number of terminals as required for the
local signal.
Select the tag no. of the local signals and click Create one by one and then
Close the window.
Now in Terminal Connection window, on the right hand side box, under signal all
these tags (local Signals) will be listed.
Now select a tag and connect its wire to the particular terminal no. from the drop
down box and also give Sequence and Signal Level and then click save.
Now the Local Signal tag will be propagated on the terminal strip.
