Reliable: The TELEPERM XS System Platform Reliability Guaranteed

The reliability of the safety I&C systems is an important prerequisite for safe and economic plant operation. That is why we made quality and reliability top priority in the selection and development of the system platform components as well as in the design of our systems right from the beginning. Simple design principles The design of the TELEPERM XS system platform was guided by clear and comprehensible principles. These include in particular the strictly cyclic operation of the software and the communication means, the absence of process-controlled interrupts, and the highly standardized, simple software structure, assured by automatic code generation. The stringent observance of these principles not only ensures maximum reliability but also makes the structure and operation principles of TELEPERM XS systems transparent to both users and licensing authorities. Robust hardware components The majority of the hardware components are series-produced, serviceproven industrial components specially qualication-tested for use in safety I&C systems. During the design of the components specially developed for TELEPERM XS, we paid particular attention to structural simplicity and outstanding robustness.

Reliable software The system software was developed in compliance with the quality and design requirements specied in the applicable international nuclear codes and standards. Thus, all stages in the development process were performed, documented, reviewed and released in accordance with the phase model called for in these standards. The inhouse tests and trials were backed up by independent inspections by external experts at all stages of development. The system software and the application-specic software are strictly separated. The project specic application-specic software is automatically generated from engineering diagrams (hardware architecture and function diagrams). This ensures consistency between specication, documentation and application software at all times. Efcient engineering, tool-supported in all phases The engineering process has highest importance for the quality and thus also for the reliability of any plant-specic system implementation. The process is structured in phases and high performance tools support the related workow. The phases comprise all steps in a project: requirements specication, conguration of the system architecture, design of interfaces to the plant and the I&C functions, code generation with verication and validation, and nally the preparation of the installation and commissioning documents.

Qinshan 1, China TELEPERM XS cabinet reactor protection system The service-proven simulation tool SIVAT makes it possible to test the application software at an early stage in the engineering process, independently of the availability of the target system hardware. The use of pre-validated application software signicantly reduces efforts in the test eld. The SIVAT tool has even been used to validate extensive modications to systems already installed, making test eld checks unnecessary for software modications. Experience shows that preceding simulation with SIVAT reduces modications during commissioning and trial operation to an absolute minimum.

Validated: Assured Licensability

TELEPERM XS is licensed in: Argentina, Bulgaria, China, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland and the U.S.

Independent assessment has shown that the hardware and software components of the TELEPERM XS system platform meet the most stringent requirements of international nuclear codes and standards (IEC, IEEE, EPRI and KTA). They are thus suitable for all safety I&C tasks. Furthermore, the generic properties of the system platform have been veried in a plant-independent system test performed with the participation of independent experts. In May 2000, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued the generic approval for the use of the TELEPERM XS system platform in all safety applications, including the protection systems.

TELEPERM XS safety I&C systems are giving successful service in several countries with a wide variety of licensing requirements. You can take advantage of our broad experience in meeting the requirements of ofcial inspection and licensing procedures and in qualication-testing to international codes and standards for your projects. This reduces the costs and the risk related to project-specic licensing procedures to a minimum.

Versatile: Customized I&C Systems for Your Plant

The TELEPERM XS system platform allows implementing individual, distributed computer systems. High-performance computer and communications components, a versatile modular packaging system and communications concept, as well as a wide range of function modules permit the implementation of any and all desired functions. The computers can feature any desired level of redundancy, and the redundant sections can be installed in separate physical areas. Since the complete scope of application functions is implemented in the software, the assignment of the functions to the computers is free and easy to change in case if at any time should new requirements arise. This permits customized solutions that meet plant-specic requirements in terms of > functionality, > response times, > failure assumptions, > space availability and > power supply.

This versatility assures that all possible tasks for the I&C system can be implemented in TELEPERM XS. Typical TELEPERM XS applications in service range from single-train control of emergency diesel generators via threefold-redundant turbine protection to three-train or four-train reactor protection systems with internally independent subsystems.

Compatible: Suitable for Rets, Modernization and New Plants

Every plant has its specic requirements and individual interfaces. In ret and modernization projects, this means adapting to diverse existing function and hardware congurations. TELEPERM XS is prepared to meet these challenges. TELEPERM XS makes it possible to implement any desired system architecture and function and its versatility eases the integration into existing plants. A broad spectrum of solutions for compatible interfaces is available. All relevant types of eld signals can be interfaced with. The data link to other digital systems is provided by standard or one-of-a-kind communication bridges (gateways). Preferably, TELEPERM XS systems are installed in standard cabinets with the use of our matched mounting and cabling equipment. If, however, the original cabinets and cable terminals shall be maintained, we are able to install the new TELEPERM XS module frames into the existing cabinet enclosures.

Economical: TELEPERM XS I&C Systems: a Secure Investment in the Long Term

Efcient, low-cost maintenance of the system platform is essential to economical operation of safety and safety-related I&C systems in the long term. For this reason, TELEPERM XS was developed from the very beginning targeting very low operating and maintenance costs and long-term support availability. An essential prerequisite for this is the clear, transparent conguration structure of the system platform. As far as possible, autonomous components with dened, durable and stable interfaces are used, and all I&C functions are implemented in the application software, which is automatically generated from function diagrams. In particular, strict attention has been paid to ensuring that any changes to the system platform and changes in the application software will not affect each other.

This makes it possible to innovate individual components and to incorporate new developments without the loss of compatibility even different computer generations can be used together. This ensures that compatible state-of-the-art components will be available, also in the long term, as replacements and for system extensions. Even systems that are already installed can keep up with technological progress. TELEPERM XS offers ideal conditions for long-term, low-cost maintenance and for future extensions and functional improvements to your I&C system.
