Abstract :
As for any complex Control System, four aspects have to be considered for design and management of an Electrical Control System, taking into account its operability, maintenance and sustainability over time: a) Capital Expenditure: Acquisition / Installation / Commissioning, b) Operating Expense: Maintenance / Evolution / Obsolescence fighting / Training / Technical Assistance, c) Costs of production losses: To be avoided thanks to a high Operating Efficiency, d) Safety. The intent of this paper is to express how and why using a generic communication protocol and associated tools should help an PMS to the satisfaction of the 4 previous points, all along the working life of its managed plant (Power Plant, Offshore platform, Refinery, FPSO...), over the lifespan of its constitutive components.
