Intention
The document describes the goal with FAT, what should be tested and approved after completion. This
is done to get the delivery accepted by the customer and thereby minimize commissioning time at site.
Functions
- All functions meet given requirements and comply with given descriptions of the systems that
are included. This applies to both standard features and specially developed ones.
- Functions cooperate globally as intended for the various systems that are interconnected.
Database content
- Input data is consistent with requirements according to scope of delivery. Includes all relevant
types of data, images, I/O signals etc.
- Performance and capacity of individual systems and performance for functions meet given
requirements for different operating conditions
- Verification that the hardware used in tests is the same as in final delivery
Conditions
Equipment at FAT should consist of the system that will be delivered as closely as possible.
At FAT, all errors, deviations and eventual wishes is to be noted down. When the decided measure
is taken, it is controlled and the form is signed again.
System configuration
FAT connection
At FAT configurations will be made as closely as possible according to delivery system with correct IP
addresses.
Preparations
FAT-layout
Items:
1. Control that all test equipment is present, correctly installed and that FAT can be
performed safely.
2.
3. Control hardware grounding.
4. Control voltage feeds and their connections.
5. Control bus interface.
Expected results:
1. All equipment that will be tested is delivered and installed correctly.
2. The system layout is in accordance with latest, approved documents. FAT area must be
clean and cabinets must be placed clearly.
3. Cabinets that will be tested are connected to earth.
4. Voltage feeds are connected to switching device in accordance to drawings.
5. Bus connection should if possible, be connected to the corresponding hardware
according to final form.

Documentation
Expected results:
Documentation is available in either paper- or electronic form.
APPENDIX 1

system. Processor load is controlled by the programming tool (Control Builder) set to on-line
mode by choosing for all controllers. The observed results are inserted

time
Control that expected load is lower than recommended load / total load (max 70%).
Max allowed
cyclic load = 70%
All controllers have their own DO which is normally high. This shows that the controllers
have normal status (no critical fault).
At critical fault this DO goes down and activates DI in another controller (alarm from the
other controller) and STALL alarm to protection relay sub 1 & sub 2.
Date Sign
N10 DO124.15 =G1-A91.A01.XH11 Alarm from own controller and offload stop
to protection relay sub 1 & 2
N10 DO124.16 =G1-A91.A01.XH12 Alarm from station computer and fast stop
from protection relay 1 & 2
A-Alarm is generated.
A-Alarm is generated.

Nr Description AllUnitStatus
Communication
Testing will confirm that communication still works if failure in the ring occurs, and that
alarm is generated from every Ethernet switch in case a port is not connected.
Continued communication at fiber failure is controlled from OPC server in 800xA workplace
and that screenshots have delivered values.
The testing should verify that controllers can communicate with each other and that
communication stop generates alarm to alarm list. Communication alarm occurs after
controller has not been updated within 30s.
1 Disconnect Ethernet cables to unit computer G1. Observe alarm from station computer.
2 Disconnect Ethernet cables to station computer. Observe alarm from unit computer G1.

Signaltest
Test of signals to alarm/event list for PP846, 800xA and remote control.
DI signals are activated from process where it is possible or from simulated I/O card (FAT, at
SAT all signals are controlled according to circuit diagram). Calculated signals are controlled
from process and PLC-program.
DI signals unit G1
AI signals unit G1
DO signals unit G1
AO signals unit G1
Unit G1, visual check of signal list for calculated analogue signals
to PLC program. Control that all are printed in program.
Sequences
Whole sequence FAT simulation. Activate simulation mode for all objects that will be run
from sequence. For turbine regulator a separate simulator is built.
Sequence interrupts
Set step time to 10s/step and block that field breaker goes
to/excitation starts. After 10s stop sequence is activated.
Block output for G1-S switching off. At long step time STALL
alarm will activate and switch off breaker through SUB2.
Block output for G1-FB switch off. At long step time STALL
alarm will be activated and disconnect breaker through SUB2.
Block output for D/S valve. At long step time intake hatch will
close. (sequence will not continue before D/S-valve is in stop
mode or throttle closed)
Test of function
Process panel is backup control for 800xA system, from which one can see the objects that
are criteria to be able to start unit. It is possible to see start criteria/start blockings, alarm and
event list. It is not possible to control from this (breaker control is in adjacent panel,
start/stop of unit is also in adjacent panels). There are setpoints that can be changed from
process panel.
Following pictures defined and controlled, control all links by clicking diagnostics for every
process picture, no conflicts may occur. Max time for picture change until all objects are
loaded is 3s (for analogue signals and 1s for digital signals)
1 800xA, take a screenshot of every process picture, and copy these into an
excel document.
2 800xA, take a screenshot of every process picture, and copy these into an
excel document.
