You need to give some thought on how you will annunciate alarms for each
(group) of boardmen without driving the other workers crazy. They need to have
the ability to go to the washroom or Kitchenette yet still know when they have
alarms. Where will engineers and technicians work when you are staring up a
unit? They need access to make changes but cannot bump Operators.
Do you enable or prohibit USB key access? If prohibited, how is it prevented?
Do Operators need access to other networks? How is this equipment powered and
(earthed) grounded to ensure no noise is generated that may interfere with your
control system?
Do you have enough level surface for keyboards, and mice and yet still be able
to write a few notes without pushing system equipment away?
What is your spare capacity (IO, racks, controllers, screens, air conditioning,
clean (UPS) power today and what is the expected (best guess) for future
expansion?
