The following schedule details the principal items in the contract and includes
the supply of everything necessary, whether the items are being fully described
or not.
1.0 GENERAL
Equipment Layout Drawings are to be provided with the number, the function,
and the size or types of cubicles so that adequate accommodation may be
allowed in the Civil Works Contracts for the Substation Control Buildings.
All equipment drawings shall show all important dimensions and only metric
dimensions shall be used. (Imperial dimensions may be shown in brackets).
The requirements for the types of drawing which are required are detailed in
3.1 and 3.5.
Where practicable all hardware drawings shall be drawn so that the main
sequence of events is from left to right and, where necessary for arrangement
purposes, from top to bottom.
Block diagrams shall show the flow of information between the identifiable
parts of a system with thickening of lines, where necessary, to show the main
flow of information. Block diagrams shall be provided for each type of signalling
facility.
(a) Circuit diagrams are required for each units, sub-unit, plug-in board and
integrated circuit used in the complete equipment.
(b) The circuit diagram for any one unit shall be completely self-contained,
self explanatory, readily related to other circuit diagrams and shall
include such information as supply voltage values, polarity and
interconnections, suitably designated.
(c) All component symbols shall be marked with their circuit references and
the nominal value of components shall be marked on the circuit
diagram whether or not a component list is included on the same
diagram. Components with three of more connections or those where
direction of current flow is required, shall have the connection points
identified.
(d) The function shall be provided of all controls, switches, keys and
reference number shall be provided.
Servicing diagrams for units are required for maintenance purposes and shall
show all components and their interconnections.
Logic diagrams shall be provided for digital systems and show all logic functions,
not necessarily in graphical form.
Cubicle wiring diagrams/chart shall show the inter-unit wiring within the cubicle
or rack, in addition to miscellaneous services provided, i.e. supplies,
distribution, alarms etc.
Part I, Section 1 – Introduction_______________________________
Mechanical and Piece Part drawings shall show manufacturing details of the
various part required and a stock list (if required).
Material, finish, tolerance, bending radii and the like shall be shown. Third
angle projection shall be used. All dimensions to be in metres or millimetres.
Block Diagrams (or Data Flow Diagrams) shall show the flow of information
between the Identifiable parts of the system, such as inputs, core store,
peripherals etc., with thickened lines, which are necessary, to show the main
flow of information.
These shall show the layout of tables used for particular purposes and shall
show the usage of each bit of the "word" used in the computer.
These shall show how the core and hard disc drive is used and shall give
absolute addresses of the start and finish of each dedicated area.
These shall show the layout of formats used for inputting and outputting
information into and out of the system. Non printing characters such as CR and
LF shall be shown.
Lists shall be provided of the system error messages that can be output by the
system together with the reason and usage of such messages.
3.5.8 Protocols
4.0 SYMBOLS
All graphical and logical symbols for hardware drawings shall comply with
International Standards.
These handbooks shall give details of the main plant and all associated ancillary
equipment as supplied under the Contract. It will not be sufficient to
incorporate manufacturer's standard brochures as part of the text unless they
refer particularly to the equipment supplied and are free of extraneous matter.
Part I, Section 1 – Introduction_______________________________
The information provided should include essential circuit diagrams, facilities and
descriptions, general arrangement and detail drawings of the installation, and
mention of special materials where used and include schedules of all
transistors, resistors, relays, etc., and other parts employed in the equipment.
The drawings and diagrams, which may be approved existing drawings reduced
to a convenient size, should be bound into the volume and not inserted into
cover pockets. If the complete text is unduly bulky, then the manual is to be
appropriately sub-divided and produced in multi-volume form.
The Handbooks shall be of A4 size, having strong black durable imitation leather
covers inscribed with gold letters upon the front generally in the form of the
title page to this document except that the references to specification,
Conditions of Contract, Drawings, etc., will be replaced by "Operating and
Maintenance Instructions".
The name of the Main Contractor but not that of any sub-contractor may also
be inscribed upon the cover after the description of the plant.
The whole of the equipment supplied under the contract shall be subjected to
inspection and test by the Purchaser right before shipment and after
installation on site. The approval of the Purchaser of any such inspection and
tests shall not prejudice the right of the Purchaser to reject the plant if it fails to
comply with the Specification. The costs of any such tests including the
provision of the necessary test equipment shall be borne by the Contractor and
shall be deemed to be included in the Contract Prices and Rates.
Test shall be performed within the periods defined in the Program of Work
(PERT) Chart.
Before the commencement of any test the details of the tests shall be agreed
between the Purchaser and the Contractor.
Before any plant is packed or despatched from the Main or the Sub-Contractor's
works, all tests called for shall have been successfully carried out in the
presence of the Purchaser. FAT should be provided to justify the test is
successful.
Adequate notice, at least 21 days, shall be given when the equipment is ready
for inspection or test and every facility shall be provided by the Contractor and
his Sub-Contractors to enable the Purchaser to carry out the necessary
inspection and tests.
The tests are intended to demonstrate that the individual hardware units and
items of software are operational and comply with their individual
specifications, that they are compatible under these conditions and that when
assembled into a complete system they will operate together with associated
operational and test programs over an extended period with an acceptably low
outage time in the environmental conditions specified.
Functional and Routine Tests - These are tests normally applied to equipment
during/after manufacture.
(a) Functional testing of RTU including all protocols (RTU to master station
and submaster to RTU, PML 3710 ACM meter protocol).
Two sets of test records and test certificates shall be supplied for all tests
carried out in accordance with the provision of this Contract.
Any item which fails to comply with the requirements of this Specification in
any respect whatever at any stage may be rejected by the Purchaser either in
whole or part as he considers necessary.
