INSTRUMENT WIRING
1.0 WIRING OF FIELD INSTRUMENTATION
1.1 Definition of Field Instrumentation
Field instrumentation is a description generally given to those items of instrument

equipment mounted on the process plant itself. Transmitters of all types, temperature
and position/status sensors, control valves, signal converters, solenoid valves, push
buttons, etc, etc, are all regarded as field instrumentation when located on the process
plant, tank farm, utilities area, etc. Generally, field instrumentation is the
instrumentation that is not located inside a local or centralised control or auxiliary
room.
1.2 Definition of Field Cables
Field cables are regarded as those cables which are employed to connect the signals
from the field instrumentation back to the local or centralised Auxiliary Room. To be
regarded as a field cable one end must be terminated on the plant area. (N.B. Certain
cables can terminate in the process area without being classed as field cables - refer
to 2.1).
1.3 Installation of Field Cables
The field multicore cable will be routed into the plant area where it shall be terminated
in its own junction box. Only one multicore cable shall terminate in any field junction
box.
The field junction box shall be fitted with an external, stainless steel, engraved label
which shall be engraved with the field junction box number. Where the junction box
contains intrinsically safe circuits an external label shall clearly draw attention to the
situation. No other information shall appear on the exterior of the box.

1.4 Identification of Field Cables
Ref. Drawing IWS 1.
Each field cable shall be given a unique identifier made up as follows:-
FIELD MULTICORE
XXE001
||||||
Plant or Unit ---+-+-- Unique serial number. Starting at 001 for each
Number | cable Unit/Signal type group and continuing
| sequentially. Always written as three digit
| number.
|
+--------Signal type
FIELD SINGLE CABLE
XXE00103
||||||||
+-+-+ +
| |
As Field -------+ +----Single cable serial number
Multicore (derived from the multicore
pair number used).
1.4.1 Plant/Unit Number
Usually the cables have both ends terminated on the same Plant/Unit and
the first two digits are those of the unit number. Where a cable is routed
between two different units the cable will take the number of the unit on
which the measurements are made or statuses sensed/set. Where units
are sub-divided this should be reflected in the cable number:-

------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------
The first digit of the cables three-digit serial number is used to indicate the sub unit.
NB. Such sub-division must be done with great care and a cabling assessment must
be carried out before the system is adopted, as the system will be limited to 99 cables
per sub-unit of any one numbering group. The system must not be employed if there
is any possibility of running out of numbers. Under no circumstances shall any lower
level of sub-division be attempted.
1.4.2 Signal Type
The second component of the cable identifier indicates the signal type.
Only five variations are possible:-
E - for cables carrying any analogue or digital signals including low

level thermo-couple or resistance thermometer signals which
do not form part of an intrinsically safe circuit.
EI - as for 'E' type but where the signals form part of an intrinsically
safe circuit.
P - for pneumatic cables carrying air signals.
SHELL HAVEN Title :

INSTRUMENT WIRING
1.4.3 Unique Serial Number
Each cable in a Plant / Unit / Signal Type group will carry a unique three digit serial
number. Numbering for all groups will start at 001 and progress numerically. Gaps in
numbering shall be avoided.
(Under certain circumstances the first digit may be the unit sub group number ref 1.4.1
Plant / Unit Number).
The field multicore cable identifier is used to identify all field single cables with an
additional one or two digits suffixed. The suffix is the number of the pair / triple / quad
bundle within the multicore cable to which the single cable connects.
If a field single cable carries more than one signal, using a number of pairs etc, then
the suffix is the highest number of the pair / triple / quad bundle within the multicore
cable to which the single cable connects.
E.g. 99EI00101 is a single field cable connected to pair number 1 of multicore

99EI001.
99E01217 is a single cable connected to pair number 17 of multicore 99E012.
1.4.4 General
a) Cable numbers shall not contain spaces, hyphens, obliques or any characters
or symbols other than those permitted above. Only upper case characters
shall be used.
b) Cable numbers shall be shown on documentation and drawings as they will

appear in reality.
1.5 Identification of Field Junction Point
The junction point at which the field multicore cable merges with its field single cables
Shall be given an identifier. The junction identifier is made up of the main multicore
cable identifier with ‘J’ placed between the Plant / Unit element and the Signal Type
element.
E.g. Field Multicore Identifier Field Junction Point (Box) Identifier
99E015 99JE015
The junction identifier is written without spaces or ay other characters or symbols.
1.6 Identification of Terminals and Wire Cores
The terminals within the field junction box shall be numbered consecutively from one
onwards. Each core of the multicore cable shall bear a ferrule carrying the same
number as the terminal to which it is connected. Similarly the cores of the single
cables
will bear a ferrule carrying the same number as the terminals to which they are
connected. The cores of the single field cable are ferruled identically at both ends.
SHELL HAVEN Title :

INSTRUMENT WIRING
Refer to drawing IWS.2.
Screen drain wires will not be ferruled but full details of their termination will always be
shown on drawings. At the system end the field cable will be ferruled in the same
manner as at its field end i.e. a core within a field multicore cable will be identically
ferruled t both ends. Refer drawing IWS.3.
2.0 WIRING OF SYSTEM INSTRUMENTATION
2.1 Definition of System Instrumentation
System instrumentation is usually that part of the system which is located in the
control
centre or auxiliary room. i.e. control consoles, trip amplifier cabinets, zener barrier
cabinets, cross-patching cabinets, etc. Such items individually are referred to as
system junctions.
An analyser house or local control panel may also be classed as a system junction. In
such cases it is possible to have a system junction with a field junction within it, e.g.
an
analyser house will have several cables running into it to connect specific pieces of
equipment to their auxiliary room mounted programmers or controllers. Such cables
shall be classed as ‘system’ cables. At the same time a cable could run to the
analyser
house and be terminated in a junction box inside the analyser house where it could
pick
up the outputs of several different analysers – this cable shall be classed as a field
cable.
2.2 Definition of System Cables
A system cable is any cable used to interconnect system junctions. It will usually run
between cabinets and/or consoles within the control / auxiliary room although this is
not
always the case (ref 2.1). For the purposes of this specification the title ‘system cable’
does not have any engineering implication, such cables may be plug and socket
connected or screw terminal connected, non armoured or armoured, etc, etc.
2.3 Identification of System Junctions
2.3.1 I,O,Q,U and Z are ‘ILLEGAL’ characters in this system.
2.3.2 System junctions may be in locations other than the main central / auxiliary
Room, e.g. local panels, analyser houses etc.
In certain circumstances a system junction may consist of two or more

cabinets. This could be advantageous if, for example, a vendor supplies a
multiplexer which consists of three cabinets, each containing several racks of
electronics. If the vendor’s documentation refers to the racks as being
sequentially numbered through the three cabinets, then by giving the three
SHELL HAVEN Title :

INSTRUMENT WIRING
cabinets one junction identifier and each rack a consecutive termination point
identifier, the drawings package and the vendor drawing set will be better
aligned.
Conversely, a single cabinet could be divided into two or more System

Junctions. This could be helpful, where considering it as a single System
Junction, would result in an unacceptably large number of termination points,
e.g. a console with an upper section heavily loaded with alarm indicators could
be regarded as two System Junctions. This should only be employed, when
the design of the equipment allows for clear physical boundaries to be
recognised for the individual System Junction.
2.3.3. Each system junction may be given a conventional title or name and may be
labelled as such e.g. Logic Cabinet No.1, Console No.1, K9907 Local Panel,
etc, etc.
Such a name or title does not play any part in the system wiring identification.
However, it is essential that every system junction be given a ‘system junction

identifier’. The system junction identifiers start at ‘A’ and proceed through the
legal characters set to ‘Y’. Once the ‘A’ to ‘Y’ identifiers have been used up
the sequence is extended by the use of a numeric prefix, e.g.
A, B, C --- W, X, Y, 1A, 1B --- 1Y, 2A, 2B, etc.
The identifier is used only to give each junction a unique identification and no
attempt shall be made to link blocks of identifiers with equipment types as this
will invariably lead to gaps of unused identifiers in the system.
Identifiers must be used sequentially i.e. the next available identifier will be
used for the next system junction to be installed.
2.3.4 Cables which run between different control / auxiliary rooms shall be identified
as ‘system cables’. Care shall be taken that cables do not run between the
same system junction number in each control / auxiliary room.
2.3.5 Cables which run between an auxiliary room and a switchroom / substation
shall be treated as ‘system cables’. This will require the piece of equipment in
the switchroom / substation to be given a system junction number.
2.4 Identification of System Termination Points
A system termination point is the point at which the cores of a cable terminate within a
system junction.
The termination points within each system junction shall each be given an identifier
which shall be unique within that junction. The identifiers shall start at ‘A’ and run
sequentially without leaving gaps through to 9Y, using the legal character set.
Once the ‘A’ to ‘Y’ identifiers have been used up the sequence is extended by the use
of a numeric prefix, e.g.
SHELL HAVEN Title :

INSTRUMENT WIRING
A, B, C ------------ W, X, Y, 1A, 1B ----------- 1Y, 2A, 2B, etc
The termination identifiers are only unique within that particular system junction i.e. in
each system junction the first termination point shall be identified as ‘A’.
Example of identification of termination points.
2.4.1 Drawing IWS4 illustrates a typical arrangement of system cabinets

interconnected by plug socket system cables. System junction ‘A’ is a cross-
patching cabinet where the outgoing system cables are connected by plugs
and sockets. The system cable termination points are the socket / terminal
strip clusters ‘L’, ‘M’,’N’, etc. At junction ‘A’ the whole cluster may be identified
with one termination point identifier. The other end of the system cables from
AM and AN terminate in sockets inside system junction ‘B’. In this junction the
wiring from the back of the sockets will probably fan out in a random manner
to the various electronics bins and/or component bases so it is not possible to
have a socket / terminal cluster as a termination point. In such cases the
termination point is simply the system cable socket.
2.4.2 Where a similar system is installed without the use of plug and socket
connectors then the system cable’s terminal rail in system junction ‘A’ would
still be divided into sections to match the cable size, each section being a
termination point.
The label at the head of each termination point will carry the system cable
identifier as well as the termination point identifier.
In system junction ‘B’ cabinet the system cables could terminate on terminal
rails which would be laid out in the same manner as those in system junction
‘A’, or alternatively the cable might connect directly onto a piece of equipment
mounted in system junction ‘B’ – in which case that piece of equipment would
be identified as the termination point.
SHELL HAVEN Title :

INSTRUMENT WIRING
2.5 Identification of System Cables
Each system cable shall have a unique identifier which shall be made up of the
system
junction and termination point identifiers for both ends of the cable e.g.
__________________________________________________________________________________
FIRST END SECOND END

__________________________________________________________________________________
SYSTEM TERMINATION SYSTEM TERMINATION SYSTEM

JUNCTION POINT JUNCTION POINT CABLE IDENTIFIER
__________________________________________________________________________________
A J K P AJKP
1B L 2K C 1BL2KC
1B E L R LR1BE *
1K 1E 1J 1F 1J1F1K1E *
__________________________________________________________________________________
* The cable identifier is always written with the following format :-
********
||||||||
Lowest order junction________________.+ |||| +_______________Highest order junction
identifier and + + identifier and
Corresponding ________________________| |___________________Corresponding
termination identifier termination identifier
The system cable identifiers are written without spaces using only the ‘legal’ character set. Obliques,
hyphens or any other symbols shall not be added.
2.6 Identification of System Cable Cores
2.6.1 All system cable cores shall be clearly identified. In reality the core will carry
marking ferrules bearing its identification. System cables fitted with plugs
shall
not have ferrules within the plug tops.
The ferrule o a core end will be made up of the termination reference of the
point where that end of that core is terminated. The termination point
identifier
label will also be marked with the system cable identifier.
2.6.2 Ref. Drawing IWS.4
SHELL HAVEN Title :

INSTRUMENT WIRING
In System Junction A the wires between the socket connector and termination
point M would not bear a ferrule at the socket end, but would bear an identifier
at the terminal rail end. The ferrules would be M1, M2, M3, etc, etc.
2.6.3 Ref. Drawing IWS.5 (Wiring within a system junction)
The wiring cores within system junction B are identified where they connect
onto the equipment and terminal rails if sockets are not used. The identifier is
automatically dictated by the termination point identifier and terminal number

at
the other end of the core.
Clearly it is at this point where a degree of flexibility is required and the

dictates
of the particular equipment or system being connected to will determine the
means of identification code building. The following points must be borne in
mind when laying down the make-up of the identifier code :-
a) Only characters from the legal character set should be used.
b) Only characters and symbols which can be obtained on marker

ferrules can be used.
c) An electronic equipment bin shall be given a termination point

identifier.
d) The identifier must be constructed to avoid ambiguity i.e. 1128 –

could
mean bin 1, slot 12, terminal 8 or bin 11, slot 2, terminal 8.
e) Separation of groups by obliques etc. shall be avoided – use shall be

made of leading zeros.
f) The maximum length of the identifier must be assessed to ensure that

the ferrule can always physically carry sufficient characters.
g) The use of colour coding or colour combination coding shall not be

used as sole identification.
h) The finally chosen code make up shall be clearly defined on all

relevant documentation and shall be consistently adhered to.
The following points are illustrated on drawing IWS.5 :-
i) A core marking system has been devised for use within this junction
using the termination point / slot no. / terminal identifier make-up.
ii) Ferruling of cores at the back of the socket shall no be attempted.
iii) Where socket pins are identified with lower case letters then no
attempt is made to use them. Instead equivalent pin numbers are
SHELL HAVEN Title :

INSTRUMENT WIRING
assigned and used (check to see if a local standard exists before

assigning numbers arbitrarily).
iv) A socket / terminal cluster may be used as illustrated in BL. The

marking would be as specified in sections 2.6.1 and 2.6.2.
