SECTION 1 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

A. Classification
A 100 Application 101 The rules in this chapter apply to vessels where control and monitoring systems serving main functions are integrated, or connected via communication network, forming an integrated computer system. Further, the rules also apply where such control and monitoring systems are integrated or connected to the vessels administrative applications.
Guidance note: The term 'integrated computer system' means a system that contains control and monitoring functions for two (or more) systems that are normally implemented in separate units. This may consist of a common computer system where all the relevant control and monitoring functions are implemented, or two (or more) individual systems interfaced via communication networks, and where functions in either system may influence the performance of the other. Navigational- and radio communication systems are in general not subject to the requirements in these rules as the systems are regulated by the IMO "Performance Standards for Shipborne Radio communications and Navigational Equipment".
---e-n-d---of---G-u-i-d-a-n-c-e---n-o-t-e---

- Interconnection between different systems being part of the integrated system. - Interface between systems and/or parts of systems from different vendors. This applies to interfaces between computer based systems and between computer based systems and noncomputer based systems being part of the integrated system.
---e-n-d---of---G-u-i-d-a-n-c-e---n-o-t-e---

204 The different systems being part of the total integrated system to be covered by the class notation ICS shall be handled according to Pt.4 Ch.9 Sec.1 A200.

B. Definitions
B 100 Terms 101 For general terms, see Pt.4 Ch.9 Sec.1 B 102 Application rules are requirements for a specific use.
Guidance note: Rules found in Pt.4 Ch.9 are general and give requirements for "how to", e.g. how to configure computer based systems to ensure the required reliability and availability, how alarms shall be presented and acknowledged, etc. The application rules (e.g. for periodically unmanned machinery spaces) gives requirements for "what to", e.g. pressures and temperatures to be monitored, alarms to be given, shut-downs to be automatically activated, etc.
---e-n-d---of---G-u-i-d-a-n-c-e---n-o-t-e---

102 The requirements in Pt.4 Ch.9 including Sec.6 shall be complied with. A 200 Class notation 201 Vessels implementing integrated computer based systems, in accordance with Sec.1 and Sec.2 and as described in 101, may be given the additional class notation ICS. However, the integrated computer systems shall be designed, built and tested in compliance with the requirements of this chapter and other referenced requirements. 202 The notation ICS may only be given to vessels that have at least one of the following additional class notations: a) If integrating machinery systems, class notation E0 or ECO. b) If integrating cargo systems, class notation CCO. c) If integrating positioning systems, DYNPOS-AUTS, DYNPOS-AUT, DYNPOS-AUTR, DYNPOS-AUTRO, POSMOOR-ATA.
Guidance note: The purpose of the above limitation shall ensure that the ICS rules are only applied to vessels that are equipped with control and monitoring systems of a certain complexity, and where integration of the systems are crucial. The class notations ECO and CCO are only applicable to ships. The class notations DYNPOS-AUTS, DYNPOS-AUT, DYNPOS-AUTR, DYNPOS-AUTRO and POSMOOR-ATA are not applicable to HS, LC and NSC.
---e-n-d---of---G-u-i-d-a-n-c-e---n-o-t-e---

103 Verification level (on board): Level 1: Installation of equipment Level 2: Connection of field equipment Level 3: Calibration of field equipment Level 4: Component/Process segment testing Level 5: Systems integration testing Level 6: Total system testing (sea trial) 104 The different parts of a computer based system are divided as described in 105 to 111. 105 Field instrumentation layer: I/O and connections from the sensors and actuators to the I/O.
Guidance note: The sensor/actuator and I/O may be one physical unit.
---e-n-d---of---G-u-i-d-a-n-c-e---n-o-t-e---

106 Process layer: The process layer consists of process control nodes, data communication links and I/O. The data communication links are connected between process control nodes and or between process control nodes and I/O. The process control nodes normally perform real-time process control where no delay in the data communication link is allowed.
Guidance note: The instrument and process layer may be one physical unit.
---e-n-d---of---G-u-i-d-a-n-c-e---n-o-t-e---

203 The class notation ICS mainly covers the planning, implementation and verification of the integrating process between the systems that are integrated or interconnected. Hence, the rules do not apply to internal functionality within a system; the intention with the rules shall ensure that the interaction between integrated systems is secured via a set of requirements for the integration process.
Guidance note: The main concerns are:

107 System layer: Operator stations, servers, etc. and data communication links (normally a single or redundant network) for interconnection to process control nodes from the same manufacturer or from different manufacturers. The system nodes often perform real-time process control where delay in the data communication link is allowed. Normally, there is a person in the control loop.

DET NORSKE VERITAS

Rules for Ships / High Speed, Light Craft and Naval Surface Craft, January 2005 Pt.6 Ch.5 Sec.1 Page 6

Guidance note: There may be two system layers for a single installation, one for interconnection of nodes from the same manufacturer and a second for interconnection of nodes from different manufacturers (e.g. between navigation system and main alarm system).
---e-n-d---of---G-u-i-d-a-n-c-e---n-o-t-e---

102 As an alternative to 101 a split of responsibilities may be accepted provided the following conditions are met: A detailed written and signed manufacturer's integration plan shall be available. The integration plan shall, as a minimum, include the following information: a) Identification of each partial system to be integrated in the total integrated system. b) Specification of the responsible manufacturer for each of the partial systems to be integrated in the total integrated system. c) Specification of manufacturer(s) responsible for the physical networks (field, process, system and administrative). d) Specification of the manufacturer responsible for the interface from each partial system to the relevant physical net. e) For each partial application utilising data from another application or system, the required data quality (see B109) shall be specified. f) For each partial application providing data to another application the provided data, quality (see B109) shall be specified. g) A plan for integration testing according to E101, F101 and F102.
Guidance note: The manufacturer's integration plan may be signed by the yard, a major manufacturer or collectively by all manufacturers providing partial systems to the total integrated system.
---e-n-d---of---G-u-i-d-a-n-c-e---n-o-t-e---

108 Administrative layer: Data communication links (normally a single network) for interconnection of general PC's, servers, satellite communication, etc., and the system layer. 109 Data quality is defined as the accuracy of the measured values combined with time stamping. 110 Software life cycle is defined as the totality of all activities related to a software product throughout the lifetime of the product, including specification, quality planning, development, verification, implementation, validation, acceptance, installation and subsequent modification. 111 A total integrated system is defined as the final resulting system from the integration of the computer based systems via the data communication link(s). The total integrated system also includes the interface between operator(s) and the various sub-systems.

C. The Integration Process

C 100 Assignment of responsibility 101 There shall be one named body responsible for the integration of the total integrated system. This body shall have the necessary expertise and resources enabling a controlled integration process. An integration plan shall be available containing relevant elements from 102.
Guidance note: The responsible body may be the yard, a major manufacturer or another competent body.
---e-n-d---of---G-u-i-d-a-n-c-e---n-o-t-e---

D. Documentation
D 100 Plans and particulars 101 For all systems being a part of the total integrated system, documentation shall be submitted according to Table D1.

SECTION 2 SYSTEM DESIGN

A. Design Principles
A 100 Cross reference 101 For cross reference to design principles, see Pt.4 Ch.9 Sec.2. A 200 Integration principles

B. Data Communication Network

B 100 Extent of system communication 101 The following systems may be connected in the system and or process layers: engine room automation as specified by the class notation E0 or ECO systems as specified for the class notations: DYNPOSAUTS, DYNPOS-AUT, DYNPOS-AUTR, DYNPOSAUTRO and POSMOOR-ATA or CCO fire and gas systems fire extinction systems emergency shut-down systems voyage recorder, if installed other systems related to the safe operation of main functions as defined in Pt.1 Ch.1 Sec.2 of the Rules for Classification of Ships.
Guidance note: The class notations: ECO and CCO are only applicable to ships. The class notations: DYNPOS-AUTS, DYNPOS-AUT, DYNPOS-AUTR, DYNPOS-AUTRO and POSMOOR-ATA are not applicable to HS, LC and NSC.
---e-n-d---of---G-u-i-d-a-n-c-e---n-o-t-e---

201 The integration shall be of a modular, hierarchical design, in order to minimise the consequence of any system failure and to ensure ease of testing and maintenance. The structure of the hierarchical design shall be explained and documented. A 300 Safety actions

301 Safety shut-down shall be independent of the system layer. 302 All safety actions other than safety shut-down, e.g. slow down or controlled shut-down, shall be independent of the system layer if the time delay in the safety loop is unacceptable. A 400 Fail-safe principles

401 Upon loss of communication between a unit giving control signals and the process units performing the control, the process units performing the control shall revert to the least critical of any possible new state (fail-safe). A 500 System maintenance

102 The following functions in the administration layer may be interfaced to the system layer, provided that failures in the administration layer are not propagated into the system layer: external communication planned maintenance and systematic testing of machinery or instrumentation or automation condition monitoring stock inventory (spare parts) training facilities administrative routines other systems related to ship operation.
Guidance note: To avoid failures propagating into the system layer, the administrative layer should be on a separate network and interfaced to the system layer through a device providing electrical and logical isolation (e.g. gateway or router).
---e-n-d---of---G-u-i-d-a-n-c-e---n-o-t-e---

501 Testing and maintenance of the data communication links shall be possible without total loss of communication. 502 Control of the main functions shall not be possible from outside of the vessel. 503 The system behaviour shall not be altered from outside of the vessel.
Guidance note: Software and/or configuration files may be downloaded from outside of the vessel. Installation shall be controlled by responsible person(s) on board the vessel.
---e-n-d---of---G-u-i-d-a-n-c-e---n-o-t-e---

504 Adequate software for virus detection shall be installed and operative on the administrative net (layer) if based on a general purpose operating system. A 600 Testability

601 Means shall be available to the extent necessary to ensure that a fault occurring in any part of the total integrated system can be detected, found and repaired without affecting the operation of any other function supported by the total integrated system, except the function directly affected by the fault.
Guidance note: This may be accomplished by e.g. adding continuously running network monitoring equipment and processes in combination with implementing self test and self diagnostic utilities for the individual functions.
---e-n-d---of---G-u-i-d-a-n-c-e---n-o-t-e---

B 200 Failure tolerance 201 Computer system architecture shall be so arranged that the different sub-systems will continue to operate independently in case of a communication failure between any operating stations or computer and other parts of the computer system. B 300 Redundancy in data communication links 301 In the event of failure in the primary communication link between the different units in the process layer and between the process layer and the system layer, then communication shall be automatically or manually reinstated by utilising designed levels of redundancy in the communication links. 302 When communication between the different units in the system layer is dependent upon other units, then communication shall be automatically or manually reinstated by utilising designed levels of redundancy in the communication links. 303 For those parts of the system that contain essential functions; type R1 redundancy is required. Otherwise, type R2 redundancy is required.

602 Full, independent re-test of partial systems supporting essential services shall be possible without affecting the operation of any other essential or important service.

B 400

Cable routing of data communication links

401 Built in redundant data communication links shall be routed as far apart from each other as possible. The links shall be installed on separate cable trays or in separate pipes. The links shall not be routed through areas of high fire risk. To the extent possible an accident in a single compartment, e.g. fire or flooding, shall not affect more than one link. 402 The communication links shall be installed so they are well protected against mechanical damage and electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Guidance note: See Classification Note No. 45.1.
