Could you provide a complete set of detailed design documents for a DCS system?
Thread Content
I am looking for a complete set of detailed design drawings for a DCS system; it can include drawings related to any type of device, and ideally the designs should be very detailed. I want to learn more about this subject – it’s extremely difficult to find such materials. Thank you everyone!

There are many types of drawings alone, such as system structure diagrams, cabinet layout diagrams, I/O allocation diagrams, cable diagrams, circuit diagrams, cause-and-effect diagrams, internal wiring diagrams of cabinets, section wiring diagrams, system connection diagrams, system power supply diagrams, and so on. Which one do you specifically want? There has to be a drawing name, right! Besides, what’s the use of just having blueprints? Some complex control circuits are difficult to understand just by looking at the blueprints. A thorough understanding is only possible by referring to design documents and specifications such as control description and functional design description.
The detailed design drawings for a complete DCS set cannot be leaked; there are agreements with the design firms regarding this, unless you are personally involved in a project
Could you provide all of these drawings: system structure diagrams, cabinet layout diagrams, I/O allocation diagrams, cable diagrams, circuit diagrams, cause-and-effect diagrams, internal wiring diagrams of the cabinets, section wiring diagrams, system wiring diagrams, system power supply diagrams, and so on?
DCS is the control core of a plant, covering processes, equipment, electrical systems, instrumentation, and more. It includes the process control parameters, electrical control points, electrical interlocks, PID control, layout diagrams of the DCS control cabinets, internal wiring diagrams, system architecture diagrams, wiring diagrams, I/O allocation diagrams, etc.
Each set of equipment has a different process, different DCS systems, and configuration is also involved.
Anyone who has worked on engineering projects should have detailed DCS configuration diagrams available
