    INDEX MODULE

    The following activities are part of the index module.

    1. Populate the following tables with respect to project.

    a. Type of instruments and their profiles.

    b. P&ID No.

    c. Instrument status (i.e. scope of supply)

    d. Type of I/O (i.e. AI, AO, DI, DO, Fieldbus, etc.)

    e. Equipment No.f. Instrument Certification

    g. Loop types (DCS, PLC, etc.)

    h. Instrument Location (i.e. Field, LCP, DCS, etc.)

    2. Creation of new loop.

    This is done through new loop module tool bar clicking. Add tag in the loop no. one

    by one.

    Note : Do not create a tag no. and then attach it with the existing loop no.

    3. Duplication of Loop.

    This is done through Dup. Loop icon on module tool bar. On clicking this button, first

    enter the loop no. from which the new duplicate loop can be created. Then enter the

    duplicate loop no. and then select the loop components from the pop-up Window.

    4. Batch Loop Creation.

    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.

    In wiring module, the following steps will be followed:

    [Note : We are going to make instrument panel].

    Open Wiring module.

    Click on Default panel.

    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.

    Now we have to provide terminals as per the instrument requirements.

    Right click on newly created device panel and select New and then Strip / I/O.

    On pop-up Window of Strip Terminal configuration click on New button.

    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.

    After filling the information in the Window, click Save.

    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.

  • 8/3/2019 Intools Quick Reference Handbook

    12/23

    Similar way JB, Marshalling rack and system cabinet will be created.

    Note : 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.

    Inside any panel, we can create as many as different terminal strips.

    I/O cards are to be created inside DCS panel while FTA or Signal Conversion

    Cards can be created in MR or in DCS panel depending upon the system

    philosophy.

    Creation of Apparatus

    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.

    The following steps are to be followed to create an Apparatus.

    Right click on the panel on which the Apparatus will be installed.

    Go to New and further select Apparatus.

    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.

  • 8/3/2019 Intools Quick Reference Handbook

    13/23

    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:

    Open Default: cable.

    Default Cable Manager window pops-up.

  • 8/3/2019 Intools Quick Reference Handbook

    14/23

    Right click anywhere inside of the cable Manager box and select cable.

    Cable configuration window pops-up. Click on New button, another window New

    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. Then press Apply button and save. Now, in the same window, presscreate 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-IM-

    001, 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.

    Creation of I/O Cards

    Before I/O assignment, we have to create the rack, slot etc. in the system cabinet. The

    following steps are to be followed:

  • 8/3/2019 Intools Quick Reference Handbook

    15/23

    Right click on a system cabinet and then select new and choose Strip or I/O card.

    Strip Terminal Configuration window pops-up.

    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, fi ll the details in the Control System Details boxes. i.e.,

    a) System I/O type : Choose AI from drop down menu

    b) Control Processor : Choose the controller

    c) Choose the Rack : Say rack one, R1

    d) Position (i.e slot no.) : Say 1

    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 :

    Go to Plant Panel and select any system cabinet.

    Expand the system cabinet. Choose a particular I/O card; Say AI card.

  • 8/3/2019 Intools Quick Reference Handbook

    16/23

    In the module menu bar click on I/O

    OR

    right click on the card and select I/O Assign on the pop-up window.

    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.

    Before actual wiring the following activities are to be completed :

    i. All the Panels with terminal strips in the Plant Panel Manager i.e. instrument

    device panel, JB, MR and System Cabinet.

    ii. All types of cable in Plant Cable Manager

    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 :

    Go to a particular JB and expand it.

    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.

  • 8/3/2019 Intools Quick Reference Handbook

    17/23

    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.

    The multi pair is now connected to the JB.

    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.

    Open particular Marshalling Cabinets terminal strip in Plant Panel Manager

    window.

    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.

    Connection window of marshalling strip pops-up.

    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 typefor 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.

  • 8/3/2019 Intools Quick Reference Handbook

    18/23

    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.

  • 8/3/2019 Intools Quick Reference Handbook

    19/23

    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.

    Now you can see both sides the tag nos.

    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

    Now click on Jumper button below at the module menu bar.

    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 :

  • 8/3/2019 Intools Quick Reference Handbook

    20/23

    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) Double Limit switch connection from a common JB.

    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 :

    Go to Default Panel and select Device Panel (Conv).

    Now in this new device panel create the number of terminals as required for the

    local signal.

    Then drag and drop this panel to Plant Panel.

    Open the terminal strip of the newly created Local Signal.

    Double click on the right hand side screw terminal.

    A Terminal Connection window pops-up, click on Signals.

    Window of Local Signal pops-up.

    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.

    Similar way connect all the wires of the Local Tag.

    Now the Local Signal tag will be propagated on the terminal strip.

    k) Select Autocad in Default Generation Method

    Loop drawing module is basically divided in 3-parts:

    i) Border

    ii) Logo

    iii) Wiring blocks

    Loop drawings can be generated in the following softwares:

    i) Autocad

    ii) Micro station

    iii) Smart Sketch

    Out of these, we will consider AutoCAD which is widely used as drafting tool.

    After completing the setting in General go to the next folder CAD file location and click on it.

    The following things should be set:

    b) CAD configuration folder : C:\Program files\Autocad\acad2004

    [This is the location of CAD configuration file]

    c) CAD Function Folder : I:\CAD\Cad Func.

    [I drive is Intools server] This is to locate the Cad func. File location in Intools. The

    software uses CAD function files when translating the macros.

    d) Open drawing files from : I:\CAD\DWG

    [This is to locate the folder where the drawings are saved and further open]

    e) Drawing Block Folder :I:\CAD\Blocks

    [This is to locate the default block files]

    f) Tick on Save drawing automatically box

    g) Output Drawing Folder : C:\Documents & setting\UUMU.\Desktop

    [This is the place where the loop drawings will be saved]

    After setting the above fields, click OK.

    Now click on the Block type on the module menu bar.

    Block Types window pops-up. Click New

    Another window Block type properties pops-up. Give name to Block type and Block

    type Description.

    [Note: Tick on the box for set category as general if you want that block should

    appear in all the loop drawing. For example, Border and Logo blocks are to

    be ticked].

    Newly created block will appear in the Block type window. Click OK.
