System Start-Up
This chapter describes a structured approach to the start up of a controller
system.
When the checks and module installation and start up is completed
successfully the system is ready for you to configure your system using the
AADvance Workbench (see AADvance Configuration Guide for set up and
configuration procedures) and then carry out Functional Acceptance Testing.
Recommendations to
Manage Test Documentation
It is important that the system is documented when it is installed and this
documentation is maintained throughout the testing process system.
1. Obtain these items of documentation:
• I/O wiring database with checklist.
• Complete set of drawings.
• Bill of materials.
2. Ensure that each item of documentation is the latest issue.
• Mark each item as 'Test Copy'.
3. Create a system activity log book and ensure the log book accompanies
the system into test.
• Allocate an entry number for each
test
and record each test against its
number in the log book.
• If, during functional tests, the system does not behave as expected,
record the problem in the log book. Allocate a new entry and fault
number for each problem.
System Physical Design
Check
Assess the physical design of the system to determine whether it is ready to be
tested. Do the following:
• Verify there is physical segregation of any mains supply circuits from the
24 Vdc controller circuits.
• Review the arrangements of terminals and the provision of cable entries
for field wiring.
• Evaluate the ease of access for maintenance activities.
