Process Control Object decomposition Identify Process Control Objects (PCO) Defined as units or Equipment modules in IEC Collection of actuators and/or other units Can carry out a finite number of processing activities Contains all the necessary equipments to carry out these activities Can execute procedural sequences Can drive other PCO Can be driven by another PCO A “Top PCO” is a PCO without master Driven by operator to start/stop the complete plant Example of PCO : A Compression Station : 2 compressor + 4 valves 8
Process Decomposition : Top PCOs MP Buffer Interconnection Box Sector (Magnets) 4.5 K 1.8 K
