What is PD CLC/TS 62603-1 – Process control systems about?
This International Technical Specification describes methods and provides guidance for the evaluation of Process Control Systems (PCS) during the phase of selection between different proposals.
The specification and test procedures specified in PD CLC/TS 62603-1 apply to a large variety of automation systems, both based on conventional technology (e.g., 4 mA to 20 mA field devices) and based on Intelligent Field Devices (IFD) with serial communication of any kind.
Who is PD CLC/TS 62603-1 – Process control systems for?
PD CLC/TS 62603-1 on guidelines for evaluating process control systems is useful for:
- Engineering companies
- Process engineers
- Automation and instrumentation experts
- Suppliers of process control systems
- Testing laboratories
Why should you use PD CLC/TS 62603-1 – Process control systems?
A testing procedure is meaningless if it does not include a procedure for specifying the technical requirements to be tested.
PD CLC/TS 62603-1 defines a procedure for verifying if a given Process Control System (PCS) satisfies the technical requirements specified by the end-user or by an engineering company for a specific application.
PD CLC/TS 62603-1 assists you in defining the user requirements for the components of the PCS, from field devices to the control room, and the requirements of the interfaces for connecting the PCS to other digital and communication systems of the factory.
