The main schedule Milestones are the commitments to the Control System Contractor.

There are 2 commitments:

Hardware freeze, for the manufacturing of the marshalling and I/O cabinets,

Software freeze, for the configuration (programming) of the system

In your opinion, which Milestone is reached first?

HERVE BARON







In your opinion, which Milestone is reached first?

Hardware freeze, for lead time of cabinets. Usually 3 months ahead of Software freeze.

HERVE BARON







Hardware freeze means instrument index freeze. Right or Wrong?

HERVE BARON







Hardware freeze means instrument index freeze. Right or Wrong?

Right: Instrument index 100% complete, i.e., number, type & location of instruments, including within packages for centrally controlled packages.

HERVE BARON







Which of the following documents are required to reach Hardware freeze? 1) Plot Plan 2) IFD P&IDs 3) IFC P&IDs 4) Control narratives 5) Safeguarding narratives and Cause & Effect diagrams 6) JB wiring diagrams 7) Packaged units sequence description and diagrams

What is challenging to meet the schedule?

HERVE BARON







What is challenging to meet the schedule?

When control systems of machinery and packages engineered by Vendors are integrated in the Plant control system, the consolidation of information to be transfered to the Integrated Control System Supplier is complex and requires a specific schedule for on-time hardware & software Freeze.
