Implementation
Automated systems use equipment that implements products to facilitate the installation, wiring and connection of automation components.These products have to comply with local and international standards as well as safety standards for the protection of people and property.
Equipment is built in 3 stages:
design (diagram, program writing, choice of material, installation study),construction (assembly, wiring, tests, housing),installation (wiring, connections, commissioning).
To complete these three stages satisfactorily, thought must previously be given to:
the understanding of potential problems which could have an impact on the safety and/or availability of the equipment,
implementation of preventive actions and/or alterations to the initial automation diagram,
the capacity of any subcontractors to comply with the requirements,
the compliance of the equipment with the requirements.
The purpose of this section is to describe the rules for implementing automation system components and the Schneider Electric products which can be used to build them.
A methodology and good engineering practice based on experience for each of the three stages make it possible to build reliable and cost-effective equipment.
