Electrical Checks

All cabinet wiring shall be inspected prior to power‐up

Control Cabinets:

Random Cabinet power wiring visual or continuity checked against drawing

Random ferrule tagging visual check, should be clear and readable

Random Point to Point (resistance test)

Random Point to Ground (resistance test)

Earth bonding test shall not exceed 0.1 ohms between bonded item and
appropriate eath bus bar, use megger to check earthing

Power Connection Checks

The following test is to ensure proper power feed is connected to the system
prior to power on. Note that main processor batteries should be removed
prior to powering up. This means the system has power but it has no
appication code.

Verify the correctness of the connection with the supply system, correct power
connection to terminal strip, neutral and phase

Check cabinets are connected to a suitable earthing point in the FAT premise

Check a 230V AC (+ 5%), 50 Hz (+ 1%) supply to incoming UPS AC supply

terminals

Check a 230V AC (+ 5%), 50 Hz (+ 1%) supply to incoming Utility AC supply

terminals
 PLC Panel Check List

Check all MCB's for the correct rating protection (refer to Electrical Power
Distribution & Grounding Drawing)

System Power (230 V AC) Up

Check 230 V AC available at terminal 1&2

Switch 'ON' Circuit breaker 'MCB', check voltage on its output terminals.

Check Voltage on its output terminals; ensure the respective output devices
are 'ON' such as Fan unit, Panel Lamp and Field PS units. Ensure all control
system modules are in 'ACTIVE'.

Field Output Power (24V DC) Up

Check the 230 V AC power on the input terminals of 24V DC power supply unit.

Switch 'ON' power supply and check voltage on their output terminals
respectively. Also check voltage on the input side of the power distribution
terminals (keeping the fused terminals 'OPEN').

Note: Using a test meter measure the power supply module (off load) and
ensure that the measured output voltage is 24V DC + 5%. If the DC voltage is
outside of the specified limit, adjust power supply output in accordance with
the manufacturer's guide.

Ensure System Healthiness as below:

Ensure the main rack power supply does not show any alarm

Ensure no alarm on the IO modules after power up of the 24V DC field power
supply.

Power Consumption

For each type of power feeds, measure voltage and total system current with
with system "No‐Load" condition and record the results

230 V AC Input feed Voltage: Current:

24V DC Power supply Voltage: Current:

Signal Wiring Checks

Randomly the signal wiring shall be inspected prior to loop checks and
application program (Logic Simulation)
 PLC Panel Check List

Ferrule tagging visual check, should be clear and readable

Point to Point (resistance test)

Point to Ground (resistance test)

Randomly check the wiring for proper crimping and termination (Tug Test)

Note: Earth bonding test shall not exceed 0.1 ohms between bonded item and
appropriate earth bus bar

System Configuration Checks

Verify existence of control program

Check the module configuration as per 'Rack Assignment & I/O Details'

Check the I/O addressing for the hardware points 100%

Check the I/O addressing for the software points 100%

Loop Checks

This check will be done as per pre‐test before checking the application logic.

Analog Inputs

Activate each of the analog inputs by varying the potentiometer on the

simulation panel.

Check the current at the field terminals using a multimeter.

Check the correct system reference address is activated and the value in the
register varies correctly.

Check configured analog scaling and analog alarm/trip levels are correct

Record results

Digital Inputs

Activate each of the digital inputs by toggling the switches on the simulation
panel

Check the current Rack/Slot/Channel LED illuminates on input module and

corresponding HMI display is changing the respective device color as specified
 PLC Panel Check List

in the FDS

Note: Any discrepancy will be in the punch List and will be cleared before
starting the Application Logic Test

Application Program Checks

The purpose of this test is to verify the LCP Application Codes against the
sequence of operation as specified in the Control Logic diagram/FDS. The
simulation cabinets have been wired to allow all I/O groups to be operated
without delay.

All the changes in the logic shall be visualized by simulator panel

Field I/O Normal
