Introduction
This document represents an electrical technical specification for machines and
utilities designed for FNUL.
Objectives
The specification is intended to provide the minimum acceptable standards for a
supplier to follow when supplying equipment to FNUL .
The objective is to have a high degree of standardization of hardware and software
components to optimize on spares and inventory costs, and ultimately reduce total
cost of ownership (TCO) during the operating life of the machines and process.
CAUTION All exceptions to this document must be identified in writing to the project
manager and will not be considered acceptable until approval is granted.
If deviations from standards are deemed necessary, the supplier must submit in
writing to the project manager a list of deviations with detailed reasons.
Deviations shall not be considered acceptable until approval is granted.

Standard Drives
Standard Drives (SD) are used when external speed or positioning feedback is not
a concern. They are used in simpler applications such as:
Conveyors
Pumps
Fans
Compressors
Single main drive units
Servo Drives
Servo Drives are used when external speed or positioning feedback is a concern.
They are used in applications when you need:
Drive shaft position synchronization
Highly dynamic response requirements
Torque control
Soft Starters
Soft Starters are used when starting and stopping motors to control electrical surge
currents and mechanical stress. They do not provide speed control.
Hardware
1. Operating temperature will range from nominally 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 105°F).
Any specific location may require de-rating for extreme temperatures.
Humidity, max. 95% at 40°C. condensation and icing not permissible.
2. Variable Frequency Drives must be supplied with input line filters that are
appropriate for the installed environment. Due to the variance of environments,
each site will have to be evaluated for necessity of filtering. Power filtering may
be needed for two reasons:
– Suppression of incoming voltage spikes, harmonics, or other disturbances
and surge suppression of equipment following brownouts or blackouts.
– Requirement for Electro Magnetic Disturbance or Electro Magnetic
Interference (EMI). Depending upon the class of suppression required, the
use of specialized filtering might be required.
3. Centralized motor control devices must be mounted in control cabinets with
following functionality:
– Where applicable, braking energy recovery through active infeeds
– Where applicable, buffering/balancing of power in a common DC bus
system
– Preferably, no introduction of harmonics to the power network. In any case
Harmonics must be within regulatory limits.
4. Decentralized motor control devices are exposed to the same environment as
the motors and should only used for motors with long distances to the cabinets.
Supplier must submit to Project Manager to use decentralized concepts.
– Levels of protection for motor control devices will be more severe and are
defined in section on Specific Area Requirements.
– Decentralized solutions require a motor disconnect switch between the
motor control device and the motor, as defined in section on Motors.
5. To ensure hardware and software standardization, use of Variable frequency
drives with onboard PROFINET ports shall be limited to the following series
a. Simotion with Sinamics S120 for Servo applications
b. Sinamics G120C / G120 for general purpose or standard applications
c. 3RW series for soft starters
Software
1. Drives must be connected to their controlling PLC / Motion Controller via
onboard PROFINET ports
2. Drive parameters must be saved and archived for future reference. Parameter
data must be archived or stored using the following methods:
– Method 1
Most drives facilitate the use of flash memory cards. The use of memory
cards is recommended due to ease of use. Should the drive suffer
catastrophic failure, the flash card may be compromised. For this reason, it
must not be used as the only backup.
– Method 2
Drives connected to PLCs via networks must use the configuration tool
SINAMICS Startdrive / Starter. This method allows parameter storage on
PCs or on the Line Servers.
Use of passwords for the purpose of remote diagnostics or access is prohibited.
3.6 Motors
Overall requirements
1. DC motors are not allowed unless specific permission is asked for and granted
by the project manager.
2. For all applications, the use of IEC-specified motors is preferred over NEMA-
specified motors.
3. Motors for conveyors and applications requiring cycling with direct on line
(DOL) operation must have a minimum service factor of 1.15. Geared Motors
must have minimum service factor of 1.5 of DOL.
4. The insulation class of motors must be class F.
5. Motor size which over 7.5 kW should be at least start by soft/start.
6. To avoid damage of the bearings by possible bearing currents, isolated
bearings must be used with IEC motor sizes ≥ 55 KW when supplied by an
inverter.
7. The motor housing must be selected for the environment in which it will be
operating (e.g. wash-down, severe environment).
8. A stranded copper insulated ground wire shall be terminated at each motor and
originate from the motor control panel.
3.7 Safety
Overall requirements
1. Safety circuits shall be based on codes as described in chapter on Supplier
Responsibilities as well as the suppliers’ preferences, which shall be
determined by their system requirements.
2. The system supplier is responsible for implementing an adequate safety
solution.
3. Machine zones that are deemed dangerous during operation shall be guarded.
4. Emergency stop when depressed, shall illuminate, activate a PLC input, and
activate an emergency stop routine.
5. Emergency Stop circuits shall not automatically restart the equipment when
deactivated.
6. Emergency Stop push buttons must be wired in series. The activated push
button must illuminate when the push button is depressed. Each push button
shall be connected to a separate PLC input to indicate when it has been
activated.
7. Emergency Stops shall override automatic, hand, and jog modes.
8. Guard door safety switches shall be individually wired to separate PLC inputs.
9. Safety systems can be implemented by the use of Siemens safety relays and
hardwired system

3. If additional data points are required, machine specific interfaces may be
generated in addition to the standard PDI (Approval by project manager
necessary).
4. Data interface to the line has to be implemented and tested by the machine
builder.
Libraries and source code will be provided from the project manager.
OMAC Standard
OMAC (Organization for Machine Automation and Control) has standardized the
Packaging Machine Language called PackTags — and the operating Modes and
States in packaging machinery.
Overview
Power monitoring allows the capturing of power information so data can be
processed, stored and monitored. Power information is captured by PLC’s from
meters and monitored in a server (to be installed in future) that will initiate alarm
conditions when power quality does not meet system demands.
Metering Concept
From a top down approach the metering shall be installed in following levels:
- Plant level
- Department level, like production, packaging, administration
- Process level, like mixing or filling
- Key equipment, like compressor, steam production, refrigeration
For the first three levels all consumables and energies shall be acquired e.g.
- Electricity
- Natural gas
- Steam
- Refrigeration
- Pressurized air
- Water & wastewater
- Nitrogen N2, Hydrogen H2, Carbon Dioxide CO²
Overall requirements
1. Power meters shall only be mounted in the Low Voltage System (400V to 480V
nominally) power.
2. Power Monitoring requires two components:
3. Power Monitoring Meters. Meters shall be installed with the machines and utilities
although the monitoring and management system may be installed later.
4. Server archiving Power Monitoring data(to be installed later)
5. Power Monitoring Systems must be connected to Industrial Ethernet with connectivity to
plant networks. The meter must be capable of supplying data by Profinet to a PLC
which is connected to the power monitoring server.
