Integrated Instrumentation

and
Documentation Software Tools

Disclaimer
This presentation is intended to give
general information on INtools software
and other procedure based on my
knowledge and experience.

Some Design Software

Smart Plant Instrumentation (SPI)

Smart Plant P&ID

PDS (3D Modeling )
Equipment / Plant
Structure
Electrical raceway etc

Smart Plant Electrical

Ele Equipment indices , Cable schedules,
Cable Take-off (BOM) , Ele. load list
Power dist Board (PDB) schedules

Typical Plant Scenario

Plant operator reports fault.

Instrument engineer makes preliminary inspection.
Instrument engineer requires documentation.
Documentation HARD to find and OUT OF DATE
Fault takes EXCESSIVE time to repair.
INCREASED cost and lost production through downtime.

What is Smart Plant Instrumentation ?

A central repository (a location for storage) for

ALL types of instrument related data.
A single source for instrument data and
drawings.
A system that allows the instrument engineer to
keep track of all data changes.
Provision of Up to date, correct information.

What is Smart Plant Instrumentation ?

New Features : Integrates with SmartPlant Electrical

Eliminates re-keying and data checking
Exchange of PLC or other control signal data
INtools exports load data for instruments and cabinets

DCS interface with Emerson and Yokogawa

Down load configuration data between DCS and SPI
Enhanced efficiency of engineering
Reduce risk of mistake

Interface with Smartplant P&ID

Instrumentation is part of the plant life cycle
