Instrumentation
DEFINITIONS
I 3.1 Locally mounted instruments are those which are mounted on or near the machinery, at or near piping,
but not on panels, and include switches, transmitters, thermocouples, and gages.
I 3.2 Local panels are those which provide mounting for all indicating instruments and controllers for process
and auxiliary system variables which the operator requires for placing the machine in process service.
I 3.3 Control house operating consoles are panels in the main control house which are used for overall
process operation.
I 3.4 Critical services are those where a lifecycle evaluation of an unspared compressor installation has shown
that the costs associated with a compressor outage justify the added costs of redundant field
instrumentation and logic systems with TMR architecture. Critical services shall be specified.
I 3.5 Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) architecture describes an integrated fault tolerant programmable logic
system composed of three isolated parallel subsystems (triplicated central processing units, triplicated
communication paths, and input/output modules whose module design contains triplicated data handling
circuits). Two-out-of-three voting is performed at each part of the system, where possible. TMR logic
systems may be used with either single or redundant field sensors.
DESIGN
I 4.1 Tables 3 through 8 list the instrumentation to be supplied, the mounting location, and delineate the
purchaser's and vendor's areas of responsibility.
O 4.2 A local panel shall be provided by the contractor for each compressor to allow for startup and routine
monitoring. Space may be required for readout instrumentation supplied by the machinery vendor.

machinery vendors. To the maximum extent possible, they shall be the same as used in the rest of the
plant. Instruments shall be in accordance with IP 15-6-1 and IP 15-6-2.
I 4.4 Temperature instruments shall be in accordance with IP 15-2-1.
I 4.5 Pressure instruments shall be in accordance with IP 15-3-1.
O 4.6 Pressure instruments shall be mounted near the sensing point elevation to eliminate the need for head
compensation of readings or setpoints.
I 4.7 Flow instruments shall be in accordance with IP 15-4-1.
I 4.8 Level instruments shall be in accordance with IP 15-5-1.
S,R 4.9 Protective systems shall be in accordance with IP 15-7-2. In addition, the following requirements shall
apply to automatic start-up and shutdown systems:
a. Automatic start-up systems (e.g., spare oil pump cut-in) shall be designed as protective systems and
may be integrated with the protective systems.
b. The design of protective circuits shall be “Fail-No-Action" per IP 15-7-2. Automatic start-up circuits,
however, shall be designed “Fail-Action." Exceptions shall be approved by the Owner's Engineer.
c. Automatic start-up and shutdown systems for critical services shall be implemented using TMR logic
systems. Sensor and end element redundancy and associated voting requirements are specified in
Tables 3A or 5A as applicable.
d. The sensor and end element redundancy and voting requirements for critical initiators will be
specified by the Owner's Engineer.
e. Redundant protective system sensors shall have their own separate taps/isolation valves or wells to
facilitate on-line testing or maintenance.
f. Design of all automatic start-up and shutdown circuits shall include provisions for on-line testing of
each component of the system without affecting process operations.
O,R 4.10 Upon instrument air or electrical power failure, regulating devices including governors shall fail in a
position which insures continued safe operation of the compressor and driver. The design shall provide the
operator with a manual shutdown operation from the local panel and the control house.
Manual trip initiators shall be designed to remain operable regardless of a failure of the protective system
logic. These manual trip initiators shall also be input to the protective system logic and shall be fireproofed
per IP 14-3-1.
O 4.11 Alarms shall be in accordance with IP 15-7-3. One common annunciator shall be furnished for each
compressor. The local panel alarms on each compressor service (compressor, gear, driver) shall actuate
common alarms in the control house to call the (Control House) operator's attention to an alarm condition
at the machine.
O 4.12 When specified by Purchaser, instrumentation designated as located on the local panel may selectively or
totally be located or duplicated in the control house.

(2) A zeroing by-pass valve is not permitted in lube, control, or seal oil service.
(3) The median selected value of the three sensors (2-o-o-3 voting) shall be used to generate the pre-alarm, the
standby pump cut-in and the cut-in alarm. One of the three sensors may be connected to the controller, however
failure of the controller shall not impact the sensor's signal value also being input to the median selector.

standby pump cut-in, the cut-in alarm, the driver shutdown initiator and the trip initiator alarm. For some seal
systems, one of the three sensors may be connected to the controller, however failure of the controller shall not
impact that sensor's value also being input to the median selector.
Action controlled by seal oil header pressure via median select from triplicated pressure transmitters for some
seal systems.
(6) Differential pressure transmitters shall be used. The median selected value of the three sensors (2-o-o-3 voting)
shall be used to generate the pre-alarm, the driver shutdown initiator and the trip initiator alarm. Each of the
three transmitters shall have separate isolation valves. Where orifice plates are used, two of the sensors shall
use one set of taps while the third shall use the second set of taps.
(7) The primary seal, high, high flow shutdown is optional.

TABLE 3A (Cont)
(8) All compressor inlet, interstage, and discharge MOV's shall be fitted with a sufficient number of gear-driven limit
switch rotors mounted inside actuator housing to provide three independent contacts indicating the position of
the MOV's. The Normally Open contacts shall be used and shall close when the MOV is less than 50% open.
The logic shall initiate a driver shutdown and prevent restart whenever 2-o-o-3 contacts from any one MOV
indicated less than 50% open. A nominal one second time delay on the voter output shall be used to prevent
spurious driver trips. These contacts shall also be used to generate a discrepancy alarm (1-o-o-3 disagree) and
the trip initiator alarm.
(9) When purge gas is specified, High Primary Seal Leakage is determined by High Flow Differential of Primary Seal
Leakage to Flare vs Purge Gas Flow to the individual seal.
(10) Anti surge instrumentation as specified by Purchaser.
(11) Vibration monitor vendor will supply vibration monitor rack with individual channel “Timed OK" circuits configured
for a +2 mA signal upon detecting a fault as well as both a high vibration (displacement) alarm relay and high
vibration cut out relay. Purchaser supplies panel alarm light (one per train) to indicate above functions for local
panel and all circuits required to connect vibration relays to machinery alarm and trip systems.
(12) Radial vibration shutdown and alarm functions shall be based on the following combinations of the “Alarm",
“Danger", and “Timed OK" contacts associated with each of the “x" and “y" probes at each bearing. Driver
shutdown and trip initiator alarm shall occur when either the “x" or the “y" probe at one bearing is in “Danger"
AND either the “x" or the “y" probe at the bearing on the opposite side of the same casing is in “Alarm." A “Timed
OK" fault on a given probe shall defeat that probe's “Alarm" and “Danger" contacts but allow the vibration voting
logic to continue providing protection with the remaining good probes. Upon detecting a “Timed OK" fault on
BOTH probes of a given bearing, the vibration trip initiator for that casing is automatically defeated for the
duration of loss of bearing monitoring. A VHA per casing shall sound when any probe for that casing is in
“Alarm." A VHHA per casing shall sound when any probe for that casing is in “Danger."
A “Fault" alarm per compressor/driver shall sound in the control house when any probe in the train detects a
“Timed OK" fault.
(13) Unless otherwise specified axial position ZHH (CO) shall be configured such that two of two (2-o-o-2) ZHH
(CO)'s are required to actuate cut out. Upon detecting a “Timed OK" fault, the logic will default to 1-o-o-1 on the
remaining channel.
