Abstract: This paper presents a support system for integrated communication planning for a process plant. The goal is to meet the process communication requirements of the engineer on the basis of the basic engineering data from the various departments relating to control engineering, process design, safety, and construction. The system helps with the selection of the optimum communication technology, and automatically calculates the structure and material take off (MTO) of required communication equipment. For the first time, the fieldbus planning process according NA 114 is supported by an integrated and technology-independent tool chain.

Abstract: The engineering phases of process plants present complex tasks with regard of mass data, interfaces and continuous changes. Many engineering challenges are well supported by CAE tools. But there are no integrated and computer-based support systems for the design of complex fieldbus structures. The approach presented in this paper is a research demonstrator that makes it possible to empirically evaluate mathematical algorithms and automated workflows. It integrates the necessary data for communication planning of different departments, handles the structuring requirements of the planners and automatically generates the bill of materials for the required communication equipments. This paper presents the architecture of the prototype, based on the proposal for the engineering steps presented in NA 114 and shows first applied results.

Abstract: The decision for conventional parallel wiring or digital fieldbus technology is often arrived at rather early stages of the design process and therefore very often rather seems to be a matter of taste than to be derived via an objective goal function. To overcome this situation, we developed a prototypical engineering decision support system that combines an abstract definition of the communications needs with coarse equipment layout information to derive all the necessary figures to support an informed economic decision for a particular technology by automatically generating a fieldbus material take-off. This paper presents and discusses the architecture and features of the work-in-progress prototype which has been integrated in the commercial CAE-system COMOS.
