I AM NOT A MANAGER JUST AN AUTOMATION CONTROL ENGINEER.
Just be aware that, < if we remove the old legacy system is not
way to go back.>
...
Every control systems is attached to a process, so it is unique, in considering
an upgrade, retrofit or re-engineering; the new control system has to emulate
and exceed the existing legacy control; so the new HMI feel and look hast
to very similar to the existing operational familiarity; nice!, the PLC
and integration of new technology is free to change; the user do not care
for this modules.
...
The scope for industrial control systems (ICS), involves defining the objectives,
and components of the system to ensure that the project is well-defined,
manageable, and signed by everyone related to the process environment,
...
1. Project Objectives and Purpose: Clearly define SAFETY, purpose, objectives,
understand what the system is intended to control, monitor, critical infrastructure;
and make everyone to signed it.
..
2. Stakeholder Identification: Identify all relevant stakeholders involved
in the project, including end-users, management, IT teams, operational staff,
maintenance personnel, and any regulatory bodies that may have oversight.
..
3. System Components and Functionality: List the key components, modules,
and functionalities that the industrial control system will include. BOM:
Hardware components like sensors, actuators, PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers),
SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems, HMI (Human-Machine
Interface) software, networking equipment, and more
...
4. System Boundaries: Clearly define the physical and logical boundaries
of the ICS. Specify the interfaces with external systems, data flows, and
communication protocols.
...
5. Functional Requirements: Outline the specific functions that the ICS
should perform. These could include monitoring variables, controlling processes,
alarming, logging, reporting, and any other operational tasks that the system
needs to accomplish.
...
6. Non-Functional Requirements: Identify non-functional requirements such
as performance, security, reliability, scalability, and maintainability.
These aspects are crucial for the overall success of the ICS and should
be explicitly stated in the scope.
...
7. Integration and Interoperability: Describe how the ICS will integrate
with existing systems, infrastructure, and IT networks. Address any compatibility
or connectivity requirements to ensure smooth integration.
...
8. Project Deliverables: Clearly state the expected deliverables at various
stages of the project. This might include design documents, system architecture
diagrams, software code, test plans, user manuals, and more.
...
9. Project Timeline and Milestones: Provide a rough timeline for the project,
including major milestones such as design completion, development, testing
phases, and the final deployment date.
...
10. Risk Assessment: Identify potential risks that could impact the project's
success and detail how these risks will be managed and mitigated.
...
11. Change Management: Outline how changes to the scope will be managed
and approved. Establish a clear process for handling scope changes and their
potential impacts on the project timeline and budget.
...
12. Approval and Sign-Off: Share the developed scope document with key stakeholders
for review and approval. Obtain their signatures to signify their agreement
with the scope statement.
...
13. Remember that the scope document is a living document and may need adjustments
as the project progresses and requirements evolve. Regular communication
with stakeholders is essential to ensure alignment and successful execution
of the industrial control system project.
