34-SAMSS-820
C9 device pre-wired to:
Sec. 7.4.1
1) intermediate terminal strips within the same cabinet shipping section, or
2) Ready for connection to marshalling cabinets or other control cabinets.

The following are exempted from the above rule:

Wiring for mill volt, micro amp, pulse and frequency signals under 1 Volt
such as thermocouples, resistance temperature detectors (RTD), vibration 34-SAMSS-820
C10
elements, analyzer elements, thermistor elements and transmitters with Sec. 7.6
pulse outputs shall be directly connected to the I/O unless otherwise
specified in the Purchase Order.

Exposed electrical connections with voltages greater than nominal 48

34-SAMSS-820
C11 volts AC/DC, shall have exposed wiring/terminations shrouded by
Sec. 7.4.2
transparent, removable, insulating plastic covers (or equivalent).

When screw-type terminals are provided on instruments and other

electrical devices, solder less crimp/compression connectors shall be
used for connecting stranded copper conductors. Insulated ring lugs, 34-SAMSS-820
C12
locking-fork or flanged- fork connectors, specifically designed to hold the Sec. 7.4.3
connector on the terminal in the event of loosening of the terminal screw,
shall be used on all such connections.

Terminal strip spacing shall allow ample room for plastic wire ducts and
permit training and lacing of cables, and fanning of individual wires to
termination points. Each terminal strip shall be labeled above or below
34-SAMSS-820
C13 with the terminal strip number, as shown on wiring diagrams. Terminals
Sec. 7.7.2
for similar (AC or DC) current service shall be grouped together and
physically separated from terminals for different service by means of
dividers, separate mounting rails or separate enclosures.

Standoffs for terminal strips are preferred to bring the terminal blocks
forward to be flush with the top of the plastic wire duct. This wiring method 34-SAMSS-820
C14
assures that all wires can be accessed without interference from other Sec. 7.7.3
wires as the wire duct is filled.

Where special cases of mixed ESD / Non-ESD signals occur in one

cabinet or control panel (e.g., Solid State / Relay Control Cabinets or
34-SAMSS-820
C15 Control Panels with ESD pushbuttons ), terminal strips for Emergency
Sec. 7.7.4
Shutdown (ESD) wiring shall be completely separate from all other wiring
including power, control and instrumentation.

Wiring for a given instrument loop shall be terminated on adjacent

34-SAMSS-820
C16 terminals on the terminal strip in order to organize and group all loop
Sec. 7.7.5
wiring.

Terminals for various types of general wiring (AC or DC), annunciator

34-SAMSS-820
C17 points and signal wiring shall be separately grouped and separated by
Sec. 7.7.6
dividers.

Wire Ducts and Looms:

Plastic wire ducts with removable covers shall be installed in cabinets as
required to provide a means of routing and organizing wiring. A minimum 34-SAMSS-820
C18
of 50 mm shall be maintained between the duct and terminal strips. Wire Sec. 7.9.1
markers shall be completely presented without being obscured by the
duct.

The maximum conduit/plastic wire duct fill (including spare capacity) shall 34-SAMSS-820
C19
not exceed the heat requirements of NFPA 70 Section 300.17. Sec. 7.9.2

In addition to the above, the maximum plastic wire duct fill (including 34-SAMSS-820
C20
spare capacity) shall not exceed 75% of its depth. Sec. 7.9.3

Plastic wire ducts shall be mounted using screws. Double-sided tape is 34-SAMSS-820
C21
unacceptable. Sec. 7.9.4

Saudi Aramco: Company General Use

 Where space limitations preclude the use of plastic wire ducts, wiring shall
be neatly loomed and secured with plastic spiral wrapping or tie-wraps 34-SAMSS-820
C22
and anchors. Wiring between movable parts such as doors shall be Sec. 7.9.5
installed in flexible hoses.

34-SAMSS-820
C23 Loomed wiring shall not be installed near sharp-edged surfaces.
Sec. 7.9.6
Wiring shall not be threaded through undressed access holes. Glands or 34-SAMSS-820
C24
protective grommets shall be used. Sec. 7.9.7

34-SAMSS-820
C27
Sec. 7.10

Cables with connector plugs shall be tagged at each end. Each cable tag
shall have two labels. The first label (closest to the plug connector) shall
identify the device and socket to which the plug is to be connected. The 34-SAMSS-820
C28
second label shall identify the device and socket to which the opposite Sec. 7.11.1
end of the cable is connected. The two tag may be combined into one tag
with sufficient seperation between two lables.

Interconnecting wiring shall be tagged at each end with two identification

tags (or the two may be combined into one tag with sufficient separation
between wire numbers). The first tag (closest to the end of the wire) shall 34-SAMSS-820
C29
identify the terminal number to which the wire is physically connected. The Sec. 7.11.2
second tag shall identify the terminal number to which the opposite end of
the wire is connected.

Identification shall be in accordance with designations shown on

instrument loop diagrams (ILDs). Where wires terminate on instrument or 34-SAMSS-820
C30
device terminals, the instrument tag number and terminal designation (+) Sec. 7.11.2
or (-) (if applicable) will be used in lieu of terminal strip identification.

Wire tag information shall be permanently marked in block alpha numerics

or typed on tubular, heat shrinkable, slip-on sleeves. Wrap-around, snap-
34-SAMSS-820
C31 on or self-adhesive markers shall not be used. Where shrink fit cable
Sec. 7.11.3
markers cannot be installed over pre-made cable and connectors, a
suitable tie-wrap or equivalent type permanent marker shall be used.

Spare pairs/triads in multi-pair/triad cables shall be labeled "SPARE" in

34-SAMSS-820
C32 addition to the destination and source terminal numbers. All spares are to
Sec. 7.11.6
be terminated.

D Control Network and Internal Communications

All DCS internal communications shall utilize redundant or fault tolerant 23-SAMSS-010
D2
paths. Sec.11.2.1

DCS internal communication shall be designed such that no single failure

will degrade the performance of the system. This requirement applies to 23-SAMSS-010
D3
all communication between DCS modules, including communication Sec.11.2.4
between controllers to their I/O modules.

DCS shall continously monitor the health of both the active and backup
communication paths to ensure the availability of both. The system shall 23-SAMSS-010
D4
check the status of both paths a minimum of once every every ten Sec.11.2.2
seconds.

Saudi Aramco: Company General Use

 Failure of any single device that is connected to DCS network shall not
23-SAMSS-010
D5 affect the ability of the system to communicate with other devices on the
Sec.11.2.5
network.

The system shall have the capability to run redundant or fault tolerant 23-SAMSS-010

communication cables in separate conduits or paths. Sec.11.2.3

Redundant communication interfaces shall be supplied for any interface

which is used to send commands from the DCS to an auxiliary system for SAES-Z-001
D7
operation and control. The requirement for redundant communications Sec.15.1.5
applies to both the DCS and the auxiliary systems interface.

Where redundant communications are specified, no single component SAES-Z-001

D8
failure shall result in the loss of communication to any subsystem. Sec.15.1.7

All devices connected to the DCS communication network shall be

23-SAMSS-010
D9 monitored for loss of communications and hardware failures. A system
Sec. 18.3.1
alarm shall be generated for each failure detected.

The system shall support communications using Modbus Serial protocol

in RTU or ASCII mode. Communications implemented over modbus serial
23-SAMSS-010
D10 shall support RS-232C, RS-422, and RS-485 interface with full or half-
Sec. 22.2.1
duplex operation using the following configurable baud rates: 9600,
19,200, and 38,800.
