INTRODUCTION
The Functional Description Standard shall be used to ensure quality and uniformity in
the functional descriptions produced by the project process control team, packaged
plant suppliers and consultants and contractors, for each plant area and sub-areas.
Process control functional descriptions are a project deliverable.
This document shall be used by EPCM contractors, vendor package plant suppliers
and any project implementing control systems, as the standard to which process
control functional descriptions shall be written. The functional descriptions shall be
reviewed and accepted by the client project team, prior to moving to software
production.
Once accepted, the produced functional description will become a contractual
document. The project process control team, comprising the client, system supplier,
EPCM contractor or packaged plant vendor, shall undertake a Factory Acceptance
Test (FAT) and Site Acceptance Test (SAT) where the performance shall be measured
against the process control functional description, written as outlined in this document.
2.
DELIVERABLES
The functional descriptions are a project deliverable. They are created and maintained
by the EPCM contractor, package plant vendors, or process control engineers
assigned to the project. The Engineering Superintendent Instrumentation & Control
shall approve all functional descriptions.
A Plant Area may be described by several functional descriptions, including core
process, vendor packages and auxiliary processes. The breakdown of the Plant Area
functional descriptions shall be based around the System Hierarchy, i.e. Plant Area,
System, Sub-system and Equipment. Refer to the standard document Operation and
Control Philosophy, YCPTI02, System Hierarchy and Level of Automation. The
breakdown shall also be at the discretion of the project lead process control engineer.
2.1
QN Yabulu Refinery Safety Requirements

The QN Yabulu Refinery Safety Requirements apply to all QN Yabulu controlled sites
and activities, and to all QN Yabulu employees, contractors and visitors when involved
in any activity.
These requirements can be achieved by actively assessing risks and determining and
implementing appropriate control measures using a risk based management system.
2.2

Upgrade of existing plant areas to the Industrial IT Control and HMI system
Installation of new plant equipment to the Industrial IT Control and HMI system
Integration of existing PLCs to the Industrial IT HMI system
Installation of new PLCs which shall integrate to the Industrial IT HMI system
This functional description standard shall be applicable for all the above project types
presented. Some of the sections may not be relevant to some projects, e.g. defining
controller configuration details does not apply for the Integration of Conductor NT HMI
system to Industrial IT HMI system, since the controllers are not intended to be
upgraded.
Sections not relevant can be noted with a Not applicable note by document users.
5.
OBJECTIVES
The document will specify all requirements for functional descriptions, to ensure that:
A consistent approach is undertaken to software implementation for all areas of the
Yabulu refinery.
There is sufficient detail to allow software configuration by an integrated process
control team (e.g., package plant vendors supplying a functional description in this
format will enable programming to be done by others).
The client is provided with a document describing the software functionality of the
control system operations.
The client project team, using the produced functional description as a contractual
document, is able to assess the performance of the process control system in
accordance with the documented specification(s)
The information is provided in a consistent format allowing the process control
system software team to undertake software production.
The functional description is sufficiently detailed and consistent to allow a standard
testing methodology to be used during FAT, SAT, commissioning and control
system maintenance.

EXCLUSIONS
This technical standard specification does not cover Safety Instrumented Systems
(SIS)s. These systems are detailed in the project standard document Safety
Instrumented Systems (SIS) Standard, no. YCPTI01.
7.
LIMIT OF DOCUMENTATION
The functional description shall not describe common software functionality. Standards
exist for drive logic, valve logic, duty / standby drive operation, control loops and
algorithms, graphic symbols, colours, navigation and indication, alarm conventions, etc.
This is documented in the project standard document Control System Software
Configuration Standard, no. YCPTI04.
When the process area requires functionality, which is not documented by the existing
standards, it shall be included in the respective functional description.
8.
ASSUMPTIONS
The Bentley I&W System is the central database including tools for the YEP Project, for
all instrumentation loop diagrams, terminations, instrument indexes, IO lists etc.
Data provided in the functional description shall be imported into the Bentley I&W Plant
Design System, which will generate Excel Worksheets containing the data to then be
utilised to perform the control system configuration.
9.
DATABASE COMMON TABLES

In order to improve efficiencies related to documentation, controller configuration and
online documentation, design data shall be captured into common Microsoft Excel
Spreadsheets. Much of the tabled information shall be exported from the Bentley I&W
Plant Design System to give a central point of information access. Once received by
the Control System Supplier via the functional description, the data shall be used as
DCS bulk data configuration wherever possible. The functional description document
shall be retained as the master configuration document.
Examples for the capture of design information using project common tables are as
follows:
Loop Listings

The data shall be entered into the Bentley I & W System by QN Yabulu, and then
exported from in the correct Excel spreadsheet format (this output forms part of the
Functional Description) for use by the BentleyToODS tool. Should the Bentley I & W
System not be used the data shall be manually entered in the correct Excel
spreadsheet format. The format is outlined in section 0 5.10.
I/O
Listings
and
examples are shown in Appendices B, and C.
The output of the BentleyToODS tool will be Object Definition Sheets (ODS), refer to
Appendix K for ODS examples. Further data will be manually entered into the ODSs by
ABB, on completion the ODSs will be submitted to the QN Yabulu Project team for
authorization, authorization is required before programming may commence.
The ODSs are the input to the ODSToCBM tool. This latter tool is used to create the
hardware and I/O allocation structures in the controller(s), as well as the Control
Builder M application code (mainly in the form of Control Modules) for the objects, as
well as most of their connections.

Engineering Workflow
The engineering workflow is important for a successful and efficient design.
Engineering tools like AUABBTools may be a big help for the engineering process, but
only if everybody understands the data and workflow. The table below gives a general
description of the steps that form the engineering workflow:
1
Ensure that the required data has been entered into the
Bentley system (if used) for all I/O. This includes address
allocation for both I/O and ProfiBus connected devices.
Export the data from the Bentley system in the required

format, or (if Bentley has not been used), create workbooks
with the required format and let the customer enter the data.
Ensure that you know the Process Unit(s) for the area(s) that
you are working with - BentleyToODS will need this.
Use the BentleyToODS to create Excel workbooks. One will

be created for each Process Unit.
Study the log file from the BentleyToODS tool for problems
that relate to the input data.
Establish if the input data needs updating/correcting. If so,

have all such data corrected and run BentleyToODS again.
If all data that can come from the input file is there and
correct, study each Object Definition Sheet (ODS), correct
incorrect data (e.g. too long descriptions), and add other
information required. This activity includes defining interlocks
and interlock texts, as well as start warnings etc.
Submit output to QN Yabulu Project team for review and

approval
Study feedback and update sheets.
10
Make sure that the workbooks only contains objects for one
controller only. If not, split the workbooks.
11
Get hold of the system(s) that are to be configured, including

controllers, and prepare it for programming.

Install the ODSToCBM tool on the Engineering node(s) that

are to be used for the configuration.
13
Create a Control Builder M Project and create the required

applications.
14
Create all control networks required. Add all required I/O

stations, S800 Modules and Profibus nodes.
15
Select one node and run the ODSToCBM tool to create single
control modules within the application and populate the I/O
and ProfiBus devices.
16
Select one group and download it. Check the result in CB M

and save the project.
17
Do the detail programming group by group, following the rules

and guidelines in this document. Complete all the interlocks
for the process object and associated external code on the
group level.
18
Add MMS variables to the project specific MMS Data Type

library whenever you require a signal from another controller.
19
Add the required system supervision code.
20

REVISION CONTROL
Revision control is an aspect of document control whereby changes to documents are
identified by incrementing an associated number or letter code termed the revision
level, or simply revision. It has been a standard practice in the maintenance of
engineering documents.
It shall be common for updated revisions of the functional descriptions and their
associated documents to be supplied as the project proceeds. The necessity for all
proceeding versions of documents will hence clearly identify changes.
Changes to Word Documents must be performed with Tracking Function On to
indicate:
o Content of the document modified
o Person implementing document modification
o Date of modification
o Comment detailing reason for modification
o Modified content to be in red underlined format
Changes to Excel Spreadsheets must be clearly highlighted on the spreadsheet
cells, as per example below:
o Added cells to be highlighted in green, with red text
o Deleted cells to be highlighted in red, with black text strikethrough
o Modified cells to be highlighted in yellow, with red text
Added
Deleted
Modified
Added this revision

Deleted this revision
Modified this revision
Modification date to be provided in the Mod. column of the spreadsheet

Initials of the individual undertaking the modification to be inserted in the Mod
By column of the spreadsheet
Where a new document revision is issued, all tracking details, highlighted cells, and
modification date and initials are to be cleared. This will ensure only most recent
changes relevant to the newly revised document are clearly indicated.

Description
An alarm is an abnormal state of a condition associated with an
Aspect Object.
An alarm is active as long as the abnormal state of the
corresponding condition persists. An alarm is unacknowledged until
a user has acknowledged it.
A user action to confirm the recognition of an alarm.
Acknowledgement changes the state of an alarm from
unacknowledged to acknowledged.
A computer representation of a real world entity like a pump, a valve,
an order or a virtual object like a service. This computer
representation is implemented by the 800xA System. An Aspect
Object works like an information container for its aspects.
The process by which the system validates the user's logon
information. A user's name and password are compared against an
authorized list. If the system detects a match, access is granted to
the extent specified in the permissions list for that user.

the object.
A menu that appears when you right-click on an Aspect Object or an
aspect. The context menu lists aspect operations, actions, aspects,
and global operations.
An event is a detectable occurrence, which is of significance to an
Aspect Object. An event may or may not be associated with a
condition. For example, the transitions into High Alarm and Normal
conditions are events, which are associated with conditions.
However, operator actions, system configuration changes, and
system errors are examples of events, which are not related to
specific conditions. OPC Clients may subscribe to be notified of the
occurrence of specified events.
A faceplate is an aspect that provides a graphical representation of a
certain Aspect Object, with presentation of certain properties related
to the object, and mechanisms for operator interaction such as
on/off, increase/decrease, etc. Aspect Object types often include
several different faceplate aspects, providing different presentation
and interaction possibilities.
A graphic display is an aspect that provides a visual presentation. It
consists of static graphics representing for example tanks, pipes,
etc., and graphic elements that present dynamic information.
Graphic displays are often used to present the state of a process or
a part of a process, but are useful in any context where dynamic
graphical information needs to be presented.
Examples of
predefined graphic display categories are Graphic Display, Overview
Display, Navigation Display, Status Display, etc.
ABBs vision for enterprise automation.
An arrangement of Industrial IT products, which work together as a
system, implementing (part of) the Industrial IT vision.
The process of re-identifying an individual previously identified
through authentication. Re-authentication serves two purposes
It verifies that the individual trying to perform a certain operation is
identical with the user that is currently logged on.
It means that the user electronically signs that he or she is
performing the operation.
Security controls a users authority to perform different operations on
Aspect Objects, depending on several parameters: The users
credentials, as provided by Windows The node where the user is
logged in. This makes it possible to give a user different authority
depending on where he or she is located, e.g. close to the process
equipment, in a control room, or at home accessing the system
through Internet The operation the user wants to perform The Aspect
Object that the user wants to perform the operation on

4.1. Process Model
A figure should be used to illustrate the relation between the various sections of the
Plant Area.
The operation of the plant is based on a hierarchical system of Plant Areas, Systems,
Sub-systems and Equipment. Refer to the description detailed in the project standard
document Operation and Control Philosophy Standard no. YCPTI02 (System
Hierarchy and Level of Automation). The breakdown of the Plant Areas into Systems,
which contain the individual pieces of equipment are considered Units of the Plant
Area.
The boundary of the functional description are to be bound to an individual Unit, and
possibly to more than one unit. This ensures that the functional description is both
effective and manageable. The boundary of the functional description must be clearly
identified on the process model. An example is shown in Figure 1 below:

A definition of the Interlocks and Permissives are required to effectively specify the
process through Functional Logic Diagrams. Refer to project standard document
Operation and Control Philosophy, no. YCPTI02, Section titled Interlocks and
Permissives. The definitions have also been provided in abbreviated form in the
following:
Interlocks and Permissives
There are three (3) different interlock types to consider. These are defined in the
proceeding sections.
Safety Interlock
o Interlock that prevents a device from operating in order to prevent a hazardous
situation from occurring. The DCS shall act on a safety interlock, by stopping
the equipment and preventing start of equipment whilst the Safety Interlock
exists. An alarm condition will be generated. Safety Interlock must also be
hardwired to control circuits.
o Safety Interlock applies in all modes of operation, and cannot be overridden for
safety reasons.
Process Interlock
o Interlock based on limits or constraints that are applied by other equipment
surrounding the object that is interlocked. The DCS shall act on the Process
Interlock by stopping the equipment, and preventing start of equipment whilst
interlock exists. An event condition is to be generated only. The object is
permitted to start again once the Process Interlock condition is released.
o Process Interlocks do not apply when object is being controlled locally in Test
Mode.
o Some Process Interlocks can be blocked by the operator in modes other than
Test Mode, i.e. Auto or Manual. This requirement is to be specified as part of
the Functional Description.
Permissive (Start Interlock)
o Start Interlock based on limits or constraints that are applied by other
equipment surrounding the object that is interlocked. The DCS shall act on the
Start Interlock by preventing the equipment to start whilst the interlock exists.
Once the Start Interlock is lifted and the equipment is running the Start Interlock
does not have any effect on the object.
o Start Interlocks do not apply when object is being controlled locally in Test
Mode.
o Some Start Interlocks can be blocked by the operator in modes other than Test
Mode, i.e. Auto or Manual. This requirement is to be specified as part of the
Functional Description.

5.5.3. I/O Error Handling

This section refers to I/O output fail-safe states that are deemed necessary for safe
operation of the plant. When the I/O enters this fail-safe state, this is referred to as
OSP-control.
OSP-control (Output Set as Predetermined) describes the error handling for outputs,
when there is an error in the communication between the I/O device and the controller.
The different types of error handling which can be set for the outputs are as follows:
OSP-control: defines how the output channel operates during OSP-control. There
are two possible settings:
o Keep current value: the Output I/O channel maintains the current output value
o Set OSP value: the output I/O channel will be set to the value specified by OSPvalue
OSP-value: a pre-defined value for an output I/O channel, when Set OSP-value is
selected. This will be true / false for digital output channels, and a value set in %
of the output range between 0 and 100% for analogue output channels
By default, I/O channels are configured to enter the off or zero state during OSPcontrol, hence the following default OSP settings:
OSP-control:
Set OSP-value
OSP-value:
False (for digital output channels), or
0% (for analogue output channels)
The OSP requirements shall be detailed in the OSP control and OSP value columns

Motors, scan of 500msec
The above scan times shall apply to the majority of loops. Analog and Digital Loops
with scan times faster than the above values (or different to) are to be specified in the
Scan Time column of the Analog and Digital I/O listings. Refer to Appendix B and C
respectively. The scan times for individual loops will serve as a guide to software
programmers when allocating task intervals to the programs. Scan times considered to
be excessively fast by the software programming engineers, may request that these
values be assessed and approved by the I&C Group Leader.
5.7. Sequencing
The sequenced automation of equipment operation is described in the proceeding
sections, using two possible methods: Sequential Function Chart (SFC) Grafcet, or
Sequencing Logic Diagram.
5.7.1. Sequential Function Charts GRAFSET
A Sequential Function Chart (SFC) is a transition system consisting of steps and
transitions. For every SFC there exists exactly one initial step. The sequence
permissives will be defined at this initial step. The sequence will not be permitted to
start until the permissives are met. Thereafter, the sequence will be permitted to start
by operator action or automatically by the application program. The point of control for
starting and stopping the sequence will need to be detailed as part of the functional
description.
Following the initial step, are a series of steps, and one or more actions will be
associated to each step. Every transition is labelled by a corresponding transition
condition, which when satisfied, will allow the sequence to carry forward to the next
step.
An SFC does not necessarily have to be a single sequence of steps and transitions.
SFCs can be identified by a number of different transition types:
Simple Transitions between two steps
Sequence Selection, i.e., the choice between several transitions
Divergence into Parallel Sequences also known as Simultaneous Sequences, i.e.,
a parallel branching from one step into a set of parallel steps
Convergence from Parallel Sequences which denotes a synchronization of several
parallel steps into a single step
The International Standard (IEC 60848 Ed. 2.0) GRAFCET specification language can
be used for the functional description of the behaviour of the sequential part of a control
system.
The standard specifies the symbols and the rules for the graphical representation of
this language, as well as for interpretation, and has been prepared for automated
production systems of industrial applications.
The GRAFCET specification language enables a Grafcet to be created showing the
expected behaviour of a given sequential system. The language is characterised
mainly by its graphic elements, which, associated with an expression of variables,
provides a synthetic representation of the behaviour, based on an indirect description
of the situation of the system.
Rev: 1.0
Page 28 of 48
TECHNICAL STANDARD

YCPTI03
The specification language GRAFCET is particularly related to the specific

programming language SFC (Sequential Function Chart) for IEC 61131-3 that forms
the basis of the Industrial IT control system sequences.
IEC 60848 Ed. 2.0 and IEC 61131-3 have each a specific domain of application:
A behaviour specification language GRAFCET is independent of any specific
technology of implementation, hence its usefulness for functional descriptions
A specific programming language SFC for IEC 61131-3, allows the user to
implement the sequential behaviour of the control program graphically
For reasons of convenience, the behaviour description is based on steps called
GRAFCET. In the GRAFCET, several steps may be active simultaneously, the
situation being then characterised by the set of active steps at the considered moment.
The evolution of one set of steps to another are translated by one or several
transitions, each characterised by:
Its preceding steps
Its succeeding steps
Its associated transition condition
5.7.1.1.
Graphical Representation of Sequential Structures
The designer can construct Grafcet charts using different distinctive structures, subject
to strict application of the syntax rule concerning the step/transition alternation. The
structures are diagrammatically and descriptively depicted in the following:
Sequence
A sequence is a succession of steps such that:
Each step, except the last one, has only one succeeding transition
Each step, except the first one, has only one preceding transition enabled by a
single step of the sequence.
The sequence is said to be "active" if at least one of its steps is active. The
sequence is said to be "inactive" when none of its steps is active.
Sequence may include any number of steps.
Cycle of a single sequence

The case of a looped sequence such that:
Each step has only one succeeding transition,
Each step has only one preceding transition enabled by a single step of the
sequence.
A cycle of a single sequence may constitute a partial Grafcet
Rev: 1.0
Page 29 of 48
TECHNICAL STANDARD
Standard
YCPTI03
Selection of sequences
The selection of sequences shows a choice of evolution between several sequences
starting from one or several steps. This structure is represented by as many
simultaneously enabled transitions as possible evolutions.
Exclusive activation of a selected sequence is not guaranteed from the structure. The
designer should ensure that the timing, logical or mechanical aspects of the transitionconditions are mutually exclusive.
Example 1: The exclusion between the sequences is achieved by the logical exclusion
of the two receptivities. If a and b are simultaneously true when step 5 is active, no
transition may be cleared.
Example 2: Priority sequence. In this example, a priority is given to the transition 5/6,
which is cleared when a is true.
Example 3: Selection of sequences following synchronization of two preceding

sequences. The selection of the succeeding sequences, by g and h, is possible only
when the two transitions are cleared by the simultaneous activity of the steps 8 and 9.

Step skip
Particular case of selection of sequences, which allows a complete sequence or one or
several steps of the sequence to be skipped, when, for example, the actions

until, for example, an established condition is satisfied.

Activation of parallel sequences

The synchronisation symbol is used in this structure to indicate the simultaneous
activity of several sequences from one or several steps.
After their simultaneous activation, the evolution of the active steps in each of the
parallel sequences thus becomes independent
Synchronisation of sequences
The synchronisation symbol 9 is used in this structure to indicate the delay before
preceding sequences end before the activation of the succeeding sequence.
The transition is only enabled when all the preceding steps are active.
Synchronisation and activation of parallel sequences

The synchronisation symbol is used twice in this structure to indicate the delay before
preceding sequences end before the simultaneous activation of the succeeding
sequences.

Starting of a sequence by a source step

A source step is a step that does not have any preceding transition.
To allow the activation of the source step, at least one of the following conditions, shall
be satisfied:
The source step is initial,
The source step is required by a forcing order from a partial Grafcet of the higher
level
The source step is one of the activated steps of an enclosure
Example 1: Initial source step:

The initial source step 1 is only active at the initialisation time, the steps 2, 3, and 4
form a cycle of a single sequence.
5.7.1.2.
Simplified Representation
When designing functional descriptions using GRAFCET specification language, the
full interpretation may or may not be used (i.e. Full set of symbols and notations). This
will depend on the design engineers knowledge and experience using the language. A
more general specification of the sequence is possible, as per example in Figure 3.
Note that initial step is designated Step Index 00, and steps thereafter are incremented
in the decades, e.g. 20, 30, 40 etc.
The alternate branch will be denoted with incremental alpha character, e.g. 30a, 30b,
30c etc. wherever alternative branching is present.
5.7.2. Sequence Logic Diagrams
Sequence Logic Diagrams (SLD)s are another method for describing the functional
description of the behaviour of the sequential part of the control system.
The SLD utilises the Sequence Diagram Blocks and the General Functions/Function
