classification as defined by ANSI/NFPA 70, National Electrical Code (NEC), Article 505. 5.3 5.4 5.5 Wiring and cabling shall be designed and installed in accordance with ANSI/NFPA 70 National Electrical Code (NEC). ESD system components shall be listed, labeled, and conform to UL, FM, CSA or CENELEC guidelines. Unless otherwise specified the power supply voltage for logic relays and input/output devices shall be 24 VDC.
Commentary Notes: If the ESD voltage source is fed directly from a UPS battery bank that is charged by a rectifier, as opposed to being supplied by a DC/AC inverter, the vendor shall include DC/DC regulators and filters as necessary to maintain the logic voltage within the tolerances and limits of the specified relays. If the vendor is responsible for providing redundant DC power supplies as an integral part of the ESD system, load sharing shall be provided. Redundant DC power supplies that are connected to a single output ESD power bus shall use diode auctioning to provide output isolation and to insure bump-less transfer in the event of a single power supply failure. A means shall be provided for visually monitoring the health of the auctioneering diode.

Design The overall logic design for the relay based ESD system shall follow the general guidelines of ANSI/ISA S84.01 Informative Annex B.

34-SAMSS-622 ESD Systems - Electromagnetic Relay

ESD input signals typically originate from process-activated switches (with dry, potentialfree contacts) or trip amplifiers. ESD outputs normally drive status indicators, annunciators, data loggers, solenoid valves or motor control relays.

The relay logic system design shall follow the general criteria of (a) (d) below: a) Contacts open on coil de-energization due to loss of coil circuit continuity, loss of electrical power, open-circuit failures or interruptions, or removal of relays or their subassemblies. Selected relay armature mechanisms should preferentially employ gravity dropout or dual retraction springs. Relay contacts must be of material and voltage/current rating specified in Section 7. Energy limiting load devices are installed across relay output contacts to prevent the contacts from welding closed, and to suppress arcs caused by the collapsing magnetic field currents generated by inductive loads (e.g., motor control relays or solenoid valves).

b) c) d)

The vendor shall configure the inputs, logic and outputs to perform the operational and process requirements shown in the basic logic diagrams, cause and effect matrix, elementary wiring diagrams, relay ladder logic diagrams and approved ESD functional specification supplied by the Buyer or his representative. 6.1 Input Section Individual conductors from each ESD initiating (field) switch, emergency push/pull button, or reset push-button wiring shall be terminated on input section terminal strips and isolated from ESD logic wiring (or contact replication relays) via an input isolation relay. 6.1.1 Input Relay Each input relay shall have a minimum of three (3) form C contacts, wired in the following manner: a) 1 (NO) contact: To ESD system logic wiring or to an associated contact replication/multiplication relay if necessary. Note the requirements for input bypass switch wiring (paragraph 6.1.2) associated with this contact. 1 (NO) contact: To be routed to an external annunciator. 1 (NO) contact: To be routed to an external sequence of events recorder or data logger.

b) c)

34-SAMSS-622 ESD Systems - Electromagnetic Relay

Contacts (b) & (c) for connection to an annunciator, event recorder or data logger shall be wired to dedicated terminals within the relay cabinet for Buyer's interconnection to external devices.
Commentary Note: If a distributed control system (DCS) or PLC functions as the ESD annunciator, event logger or historian, a single contact from the input relay section may be used, rather than allocating two separate contacts. In this case each input relay shall have a minimum of two (2) form C contacts (DPDT).

6.1.2

Input Bypass Switches A manually operated input bypass switch shall be installed for each ESD system input (except for ESD push/pull buttons or reset pushbuttons) to facilitate maintenance and testing. The input bypass switch shall be wired in parallel with the first (NO) contact of the input isolation relay. Input relay contacts for interconnection to annunciator, indicating lights, sequence of event recorder or data logger shall not be bypassed. Each input bypass switch shall have an extra set of spare (NO) contacts, wired to internal relay cabinet terminals for Buyer's interconnection to an external annunciator or as an input to an external DCS or PLC (i.e., to perform alarm, sequence of events and annunciation). Each input bypass switch shall have a yellow BYPASS indicating light emitting diode (LED) that illuminates when the switch is in the bypass position.

6.2

Contact Multiplication/Replication section If additional contacts are needed to build the required ESD logic than can be provided by the single input isolation relay, additional contact multiplication relays shall be provided in a separately fused, contact replication section. These additional relays should be located as close as practical to the input relay.

6.3

Logic Section The logic section shall be arranged so that relays and logic for related pieces of process equipment are physically grouped together. All ESD logic shall be designed such that after a shutdown due to open field switch contacts, open fuse connections, loose wiring or ESD logic de-energization, the ESD logic stays in the de-energized state. The ESD logic remains in a de-energized state until permissives have been met or failed components have been resolved and the logic is manually reset.

6.3.1

Manual Reset Each ESD system shall have a manual reset push-button or equivalent reset device.

6.3.2

Lamp Test All ESD relay cabinet indicator LEDs, shall be configured with lamp test logic circuitry. LED test outputs for remote or panel mounted indicating lights shall be wired to separate relay cabinet terminals for Buyer's connection.
Exception: LEDs or other lamps that are integral to a manufactures electronic component (e.g., trip amplifier, or electronic timer/counter) do not require the lamp test button.

6.4

Output Section The relay cabinet output section shall isolate field devices and associated wiring from ESD internal logic voltage and wiring via fuses or over current protective devices. All field output devices shall be powered from the ESD system power supply, unless otherwise specified on the elementary wiring diagrams, ladder diagrams or logic diagrams supplied by the Buyer. 6.4.1 Output Bypass Switches ESD output bypass switches are not to be provided unless the purchase order or relay cabinet specifications explicitly calls for their implementation.
Commentary Note: When ESD output bypass switches are specified, only the specific identified outputs shall be provided with a manually operated, key-locked, output bypass switch to facilitate maintenance and testing. The output bypass switch logic shall not prevent ESD outputs from being deenergized in response to activating an ESD push/pull-button for the system.

6.4.2

Outputs to annunciators, indicating lights, sequence of event recorder or data logger shall not be bypassed. Each output bypass switch shall have separate set of (NO) contacts, wired to separate relay cabinet terminals for the Buyer's interconnection to an external annunciator. Each output bypass switch shall have a yellow BYPASS indicating LED that illuminates when the switch is in the bypass position.

34-SAMSS-622 ESD Systems - Electromagnetic Relay

6.5

Manual Emergency Shutdown Switch Logic Each ESD relay system shall be provided with terminals for Buyer's connection to a local or remote emergency shutdown push/pull button(s). When the normally closed ESD pushbutton circuit is broken, the ESD system logic deenergizes, causing relay outputs to fail to their respective de-energized position, regardless of any bypass switch that might be activated. If relay cabinets themselves are equipped with ESD buttons, they shall be protected from accidental operation by a guard, shroud or cover.

6.6

Grounding ESD systems shall have their negative or return-neutral side grounded (i.e., referenced to an instrument system ground). Approval for ungrounded or floating systems must be obtained in writing from the Manager, Process & Control Systems Department of Saudi Aramco, Dhahran.
Commentary Notes: 1. Ungrounded or floating ESD systems shall only be used where modifications to existing ungrounded systems equipment are being considered. ESD systems shall be configured either as a grounded or an isolated (ungrounded) system configuration, but not within the same I/O structure. Ungrounded or isolated ESD systems utilizing floating DC 'field' input and output circuits shall incorporate a commercial, modular type of ground fault detection system (GFD) to monitor potential ground leakage currents within field. GFD circuitry shall continuously monitor floating electrical circuits in field wiring and activate a visual alarm indicator when resistance to earth falls below a nominal 1 K ohms. GFD modules (if used) shall be installed in a location readily accessible to maintenance personnel.

2.

Component Selection All components and assemblies shall be designed and spaced to operate reliably with only natural-draft ventilation. All components and subassemblies shall be at least industrial grade and field-proven for at least two years. 7.1 Installation materials Installation materials, wiring, terminations and other components shall be selected in accordance with 34-SAMSS-820 or 34-SAMSS-821, unless otherwise specified in the Purchase Order. 7.2 ESD Relays ESD relays shall comply with the minimum requirements of this specification, unless superseded by more stringent requirements listed in specification Form

Cabinet Construction Design, construction and wiring of the ESD relay cabinets shall be in accordance with 34-SAMSS-820 or 34-SAMSS-821 unless superseded by the requirements of this specification. 8.1 Assembly and Mounting Relays and subsystem components shall preferably be installed on DIN rails or mounting plates, with restraint or relay locking clips, securely fixed within the cabinet(s). 8.2 Internal ESD DC Power Supply DC power supplies installed within ESD cabinets shall always be mounted at the top of the cabinet, above any relays or subsystem components. Specific requirements for internal ESD-DC power supply systems shall be as specified in the Purchase Order. DC power supplies shall be linear, nonswitching type, consisting of a main and one backup power supply unit, each capable of assuming 120% of the full load. Full load shall be interpreted as the maximum power consumption within the ESD systems. The dual power supply units shall be identical to minimize spare parts requirements. 8.2.1 Power Supply Monitoring Power supply health status, voltage and current shall be indicated on the front side of each power supply unit. In the event of a failure of one of the power supply modules a power supply failure shall be indicated on the front of the ESD relay panel as well as remotely to an operator console. 8.2.2 Power Supply Protection Power supply units shall have their own current-limiting devices as well as over-voltage and transient protection for the primary side. Diode isolation, voltage regulation and current-limiting circuitry shall be used on the secondary. Crowbar shunting or current limiting output circuits are not permitted. 8.2.3 Power Restoration ESD relay logic shall remain in the de-energized position when power is applied or restored to via the power supplies. Manual RESET action will be required to energize logic relays, provided permissive circuits are enabled.
