Words and Terms

Configurable: The capability to select and connect standard open application
to the system; or the capability to change functionality or sizing of software
functions by changing parameters without having to modify or regenerate
software.
Configuration: The physical installation or the selection of software options to
satisfy system requirements.
Dead Band: The range through which an input signal may be varied without
initiating an action or observable change in output signal.
Enterprise Service Bus: is a middleware subsystem that facilitates and
manages communication, routing, web services support, payload metadata and
mediation between business entities to allow components to interact across
applications and to be added, moved, swapped or deleted with minimal
disruption to other components for easier and less-costly integration.
Field Proven: A system shall be considered to be field proven when it has been
installed, commissioned, and operational in a customer facility for a period of
six months or longer (excluding beta test periods). It shall be possible for Saudi
Aramco to verify the field proven status of any equipment.
Operational Data: The statistical data such as alarm limits, tuning parameters,
and clamping values, as opposed to process data such as input values, output
values, and set-points.
Point: A process variable derived from an input or calculated in a process
calculation.
Portal: web portal is a web-based container and platform that brings together
information from diverse sources in a unified way. Usually, each information
source gets its dedicated area on the page for displaying information (a portlet).
The user can personalize his portal and configure which portlets to display.

been different entities altogether. In this document, MOM Portal means the
main container (portal) and its associated web parts (portlets).
Reliability: The capability of a system or component to perform its intended
function for a specified period of time.
Service Oriented Architecture: a perspective of software architecture that
defines the use of loosely coupled software services to support the requirements
of the business processes and software users. In an SOA environment, resources
on a network are made available as independent services that can be accessed
without knowledge of their underlying platform implementation.
Tag: A collection of attributes that specify either a control loop or a process
variable, or a measured input, or a calculated value, or some combination of
these, and all associated control and output algorithms. Each tag is unique.
Tag ID: The unique alphanumeric code assigned to inputs, outputs, equipment
items, and control blocks. The tag ID might include the plant area identifier.
