For this reason it was necessary to depart from the procedure followed hitherto of issuing the Guidelines ‘together with the key sections as a single documentation package. Aneed also arose for the Guidelines to be revised in order to incorporate practical experience gained to date in applying them and to ensure consistent and correct use of the Identification System. in the course of this a number of editorial modifications have been made (see also Page 38). ‘The requirements planned to be contained in DIN 6779, "Structural Principles for Technical Products and ‘Technical Product Documentation’, have not been taken into consideration, thus avoiding a complete re- vision of the entire Application Commentaries.

It is to be used by ail engineering disciplines for planning, licensing, construction, operation and maintenance. The KKS, or sections thereof, can be combined with other identification systems in order to meet additional identification requirements. (One particular combination is that with the redundancy code. Redundancy codes result from the need to Identity redundancy groups. Redundancy groups are defined in KTA 9501 as combinations of items of equipment in @ particular arrangement intended to ensure the independence of redundant items of equipment. The items of equipment within a given redundancy group are identified in keeping with the format for the total plant in accordance with the KKS Guidelines. Referencing of redundancy groups is performed outside the scope of the KKS code with the aid of a separate redundancy code. This is not covered by these guidelines. 4.2 Requirements on KKS The following requirements are considered: © Uniform identification for ail types of power station and any connected processes = Sufficient capacity and detail for identification of all systems, components and structures = Sufficient capacity for extension to accommodate new technologies = Consistent identification for planning, licensing, construction, operation, maintenance and waste management = Interdisciplinary applicability to mechanical engineering, civil engineering, electrical ‘engineering and control and instrumentation combined with ability to identify accorcling to process functions, points of installation and tocations = Consideration of national and intemational standards = Non=language—based coding to ensure international usability ‘= Application in computer processing Page 6 4th Edition 1995VGB Technical Committee on Identification System for Technical Classification Systems Power Stations Guidelines 1.3 Features of KKS To fulfil the above~mentioned requirements, KKS has the following features: = Hierarchicalty structured format with 4 breakdown levels and fixed alphanumeric data characters = Separate identification methods with engineering discipline—specific rules by means of ‘uniform code format for the three types of identification ~ Process—related identification — Point of installation identification Location identification In relation to the identification of plants, systems and items of equipment KKS considers the following standards: Inhalt DIN IEC Iso Format of alphanumeric codes, breakdown symbols ene.

Types of Code and Breakdown Levels In consideration of the various requirements placed on the identification ot piants, sections of plants and items of equipment in power stations, KKS has three different types of code: = Process—related code Process—related identification of systems and items of equipment according to their functions in mechanical, civil, electrical and contro! and instrumentation engineering ‘= Point of installation code Identification of points of installation of electrical and control and instrumentation e de installation units (e.g. in cabinets, panels, consoles) = Location code Identification of locations in structures, on floors and in rooms and also of fire areas and topographical stipulations (surface area grid) ‘These three types of code use the same identification scheme, which Is subdivided into four breakdown levels. ‘The tities of the breakdown levels of the three types of code will be as follows: Setial no. of Breakdown level . 7 7 7 Process-related Equipment | | Component identification Total piant_| | System code | | “ihiteode toae Installation space code Point of installation Installation Identification Total plant [' Unit code Location Structure Lalanaatl Pirie code Page 8 4th Edition 1995VGB Technical Committee on KKS Identification System for Technical Classification Systems Power Stations Guidelines 2.2 Prefix Symbols and Breakdown Symbols for Types of Code ‘The types of code are distinguished In accordance with DIN 40719, Part 2, by means of prefix and break- down symbols.

The prefix symbols may be omitted if the information contents of the codes remain unambiguous. 2.3 Format of Breakdown Levels The code is made up of breakdown levels. The individual breakdown levels are diferently formatted. They ‘are made up of classifying and numbering code elements. The latter consist of data characters occupied by alpha and numeric symbols.

The system codes for such heavy machinery are fixed as X in main group Fy . 53 Assignment of System Codes to Mechanical Equipment and Measuring ircuits Equipment units are allocated to the system in which they are installed. When stipulating system bound- aries the originator principle is adopted. For identification purposes, measuring circuits are allocated to the system where the parameters are mea- sured.

The numbering section of the cable no. consists of four numerical data characters or of three numerical and one alphabetical character; grouping according to voltage level, for example, Is allowable, 5.6.2 Electrical Equipment ‘Transformer Systems for Power Transmission and Auxillary Power Supply ‘These transformers are identified on breakdown level 1. On breakdown level 2 the individual windings are identified (but not on a phase—specific basis) by means of GT for transformer equipment and numbered starting on the high-voltage side. For further details see DIN 42513. ‘Switchgear, Battery Chargers, Inverters and Battery Sets ‘These systems and items of equipment are identified regardless of equipment location in the classifying section of breakdown level 1 in accordance with the rules for main group F; = B.

The second character of Fr numbers the cubicles. 5.6.3 Control and Instrumentation Equipment 5.6.3.1 Measuring Circults ‘The measuring circuit identification code encompasses measured value acquisition, processing and dis- tribution as well as recording and indication. For identification purposes, measuring circuits are allocated to the system where the parameter is measured. On breakdown level 2, direct measuring circuits are identified by means of A; = C, indirect measuring circuits (gated or calculated) by means of Ay = F and in Ag according to the measured physical variable (e.g. pressure, temperature) in accordance with DIN 19227 Part 1. Page 32 4th Edition 1995VGB Technical Committee on Identification System for Technical Classification Systems Power Stations Guidelines Equipment Unit-Specific Analog Signal Processing and Measuring Circults Equipment unit—specific analog signal processing elements comprise control and instrumentation equip- ment which is only provided for one equipment unit such as control interface, protective logics, instru- ments in the feeder and command termination for final control elements. These analog signal processing ‘elements receive the code of the equipment unit concerned. ‘System—Specific Analog Signal Processing ‘System specific analog signal processing elements comprise gates between more than one measuring circuit and/or equipment unit—specific analog signal processing elements for systems such as open— loop controls (but not control interfaces). They encompass the control and instrumentation equipment for more than one equipment unit and are identified on breakdown level 2 by means of A; = E (analog and binary signal conditioning). Az identifies control and instrumentation functions (e.g. alarm gating, sub- group control), System—Interfacing Analog Signal Processing Where control and instrumentation equipment serves more than one process system identified in F, and Fs, the letter Y for generic control and protection systems may be used in the appropriate data character ‘on breakdown level 1.

Thus for example, it may be necessary to use items which are identified differently on breakdown level 1 (main system and associated parts of auxiliary and ancillary systems) in order to full a given process—related task (functional group). Identification of the functional groups involved in process-~related tasks $0 as to relate them tothe princi- pal task concerned may be performed by using the alpha characters in F FF of the principal process— related task. In this application, however, a suitable identifier such as a prefixed Y should be used to indicate that a software coding unit is concerned, thus to rule out confusion with process—related codes. This code has to be specified between the parties to the project. Analog Signal Gating In principle, itis true of signal linking functions that the code of the signal to be processed Is retained after the gating element, e.g. for alarm gating Gated analog signals representing physically similar direct measured variables are identified by means of a set number, e.g. "8", in the first data character of Ay and retain the code of the physical variable in data character Az Gated analog signals representing physically dissimilar indirect measured variables are identified by means of A= U (combined variables). Where signals or measured data are used to limit or suppress the original measured data, the processed output signal retains the code of the original measured data. Where measured data are corrected (e.g. low measurement corrected for pressure and temperature) and ifonly the corrected measured data are further processed, the codes stay the same as those of the original measured data in spite of the gating of dissimilar measured data. Where a distinction is to be made between calculated analog data after analog data gating functions and the original measured data, the indirect (calculated) measured variables are identified by means of A; = F (indirect measuring circuits). Identification in data character Az is governed by the physical variable.

Every control loop and every closed-loop contro! circuit comprises measuring, control and positioning elements regardless of whether electrical, Pneumatic, hydraulic or other Items of equipment are used. Closed—loop controls are identified according to the controlled variabie and not after the measuring circuits which serves the control or the final contro! element on which the control acts. 5.6.3.3 Signals and Signal Applications Breakdown level 3 is used to identify signals and their applications. For this purpose, data character By can contain X Signal origin Y Signal application Z Gated signal No generally valid rules have been made for signal and application areas.
