Marshalling means grouping of I/O. The marshalling panel is placed between the DCS system panel and the field

instruments. By ordering the grouping of I/O panels as an analog input, Analog output, digital input, digital output

through Isolation / signal conditioners.

How Do Marshalling Panels Work?  7 Comments

The process of connecting field signals to process controllers is pretty standard, no matter what industry you’re
dealing with. Firstly, the field signal wiring is brought to local junction boxes. These are similar to the junction boxes
we’re all familiar with in our own homes. These boxes are then consolidated into more centralised junction boxes,
which are in turn grouped into multi-core cables. The grouping is often done according to common characteristics,
such as analogue or discrete, for example, or high or low voltage. Finally, these cables are brought into the
marshalling cabinets. The output of these cabinets is then connected to the control system.

The main idea behind this marshalling process is to bring all the relevant instruments into the control room in a way
that’s not only cost-effective, robust and durable, but which is also well ordered and easily maintainable.

Marshalling is usually carried out in one of three ways: cross-wire, fan-out and half-knit.

As discussed in the Typical Instrumentation Architecture and Automation System, the automation architecture of the Categories

plant has a marshalling cabinet between the junction box and the system cabinet. This marshalling cabinet function
serves to interconnect the incoming field wire (which is usually a multi-pair cable) and the connection of the I/O card  Analytical Instrumentation

(input / output). Without marshallingANDROID TOOLS

One of the important interface function of the marshalling cabinet is the cross wiring function. Cross wiring is always
 Animation
necessary since the incoming field signal and the channel quantity of the I/O card is always different. For example
let’s say we have a 24 pair incoming field cable that carry 20 field analogue signal. This field signal will be split at

least into two analogues 16 channel I/O card. The First 16 I/O will be in the first 16 channel I/O card and the other 4
will be in the next 16 channel I/O card. To have this split wiring (cross wiring) in the system cabinet is not a good
 Calibration
practice from the operation and maintenance point of view. Thus the marshalling cabinet is needed.Another cause of
the cross wiring is the mixed of I/O signals that coming from the field. The incoming multipair cable can have mixed  Communication
AI (Analog Input) and AO (Analog Output) signal in the same multipair cable. This mixed signal will be split in the
marshalling cabinet so that the AI signal will be terminated in the dedicated AI termination board and so do the AO  Control System
signal.
In some application such as voting application for safety system (i.e. 2oo3 voting) there is a requirement to have the  control valve
I/O signal allocated in the different I/O card so that the common fault cause can be avoided. This application of

In typical application, the marshalling cabinet is having the following cable routing.
1. The multipair field cables enter the marshalling cabinet through the bottom of the cabinet.  Displacement Measurement

2. Then each wire of the incoming multipair field cable is terminated in the surge protection devices or surge

arrester. If there is no requirement of such surge protection devices, each wire is terminated in the terminal block.
3. From the surge protection devices, in Non IS application, there will be a cross wiring that match the field signal

and the I/O address assignment in the termination board. If the system is IS, then before cross wiring, each wire
connection is routed first to the IS Barrier.

4. The dedicated system cable that has a ‘plug and play’ connection is then routed from the termination board to
