Site Plan Documentation
Documenting the plan for installing a process control structure yields significant benefits:
• The task of installation planning itself is facilitated.
• Properly organized documentation greatly facilitates each step of the installation process, particularly
when planners and installers are different persons.
• After initial installation, good documentation facilitates modification and troubleshooting.
• For long-term maintenance, good documentation aids in the orderly transfer of knowledge required for
safe and secure process operations.
Time and effort spent at the beginning of a project is quickly recovered in the efficient execution of each
planning and installation procedure. To reduce the burden of documenting an HC900 Controller
installation, several data-collection aids are given in Appendix A of this manual. These include:
• sample diagrams ("maps") of site facilities and of networking systems
• fill-in templates that aid in collection and organization of installation data.
Use of these documentation aids will ease the task of coordinating hardware installation tasks with software
configuration tasks (for example, placement and wiring of I/O modules and configuring Rack, Module, and
Channel data in the configuration file.)
