Reliable: The TELEPERM XS SystemPlatform – Reliability GuaranteedThe reliability of the safety I&C systemsis an important prerequisite for safe andeconomic plant operation. That is whywe made quality and reliability top priorityin the selection and developmentof the system platform componentsas well as in the design of our systemsright from the beginning.Simple design principlesThe design of the TELEPERM XSsystem platform was guided by clearand comprehensible principles. Theseinclude in particular the strictly cyclicoperation of the software and thecommunication means, the absence ofprocess-controlled interrupts, and thehighly standardized, simple softwarestructure, assured by automatic codegeneration. The stringent observanceof these principles not only ensuresmaximum reliability but also makes thestructure and operation principles ofTELEPERM XS systems transparent toboth users and licensing authorities.Robust hardware componentsThe majority of the hardware componentsare series-produced, serviceprovenindustrial components speciallyqualifi cation-tested for use in safety I&Csystems. During the design of the componentsspecially developed forTELEPERM XS, we paid particularattention to structural simplicity andoutstanding robustness.Reliable softwareThe system software was developedin compliance with the quality anddesign requirements specifi ed in theapplicable international nuclear codesand standards. Thus, all stages in thedevelopment process were performed,documented, reviewed and releasedin accordance with the phase modelcalled for in these standards. The inhousetests and trials were backed upby independent inspections by externalexperts at all stages of development.The system software and the application-specific software are strictlyseparated. The project specifi c application-specific software is automaticallygenerated from engineering diagrams(hardware architecture and functiondiagrams). This ensures consistencybetween specifi cation, documentationand application software at all times.Efficient engineering,tool-supported in all phasesThe engineering process has highestimportance for the quality and thus alsofor the reliability of any plant-specifi csystem implementation. The process isstructured in phases and high performancetools support the related workflow. The phases comprise all steps ina project: requirements specifi cation,confi guration of the system architecture,design of interfaces to the plant andthe I&C functions, code generation withverifi cation and validation, and fi nallythe preparation of the installation andcommissioning documents.Qinshan 1, ChinaTELEPERM XS cabinetreactor protection systemThe service-proven simulation toolSIVAT makes it possible to test theapplication software at an early stage inthe engineering process, independentlyof the availability of the target systemhardware. The use of pre-validated applicationsoftware signifi cantly reducesefforts in the test fi eld. The SIVAT toolhas even been used to validate extensivemodifi cations to systems alreadyinstalled, making test fi eld checksunnecessary for software modifi cations.Experience shows that preceding simulationwith SIVAT reduces modifi cationsduring commissioning and trial operationto an absolute minimum.TELEPERM XSDigital modul SVE25

Validated:Assured LicensabilityTELEPERM XSis licensed in:Argentina,Bulgaria,China,Finland,France,Germany,Hungary,Slovakia,Sweden,Switzerlandand the U.S.Independent assessment has shownthat the hardware and software componentsof the TELEPERM XS systemplatform meet the most stringentrequirements of international nuclearcodes and standards (IEC, IEEE, EPRIand KTA). They are thus suitable for allsafety I&C tasks. Furthermore, the genericproperties of the system platformhave been verifi ed in a plant-independentsystem test performed with theparticipation of independent experts.In May 2000, the U.S. Nuclear RegulatoryCommission (NRC) issued thegeneric approval for the use of theTELEPERM XS system platform in allsafety applications, including the protectionsystems.TELEPERM XS safety I&C systems aregiving successful service in severalcountries with a wide variety of licensingrequirements.You can take advantage of our broadexperience in meeting the requirementsof offi cial inspection and licensingprocedures and in qualifi cation-testingto international codes and standards foryour projects. This reduces the costsand the risk related to project-specifi clicensing procedures to a minimum.6

Versatile:Customized I&C Systems for Your PlantThe TELEPERM XS system platformallows implementing individual, distributedcomputer systems. High-performancecomputer and communicationscomponents, a versatile modularpackaging system and communicationsconcept, as well as a wide range offunction modules permit the implementationof any and all desired functions.The computers can feature any desiredlevel of redundancy, and the redundantsections can be installed in separatephysical areas.Since the complete scope of applicationfunctions is implemented in the software,the assignment of the functionsto the computers is free and easy tochange in case if at any time shouldnew requirements arise.This permits customized solutions thatmeet plant-specifi c requirements interms of> functionality,> response times,> failure assumptions,> space availability and> power supply.This versatility assures that all possibletasks for the I&C system can beimplemented in TELEPERM XS.Typical TELEPERM XS applications inservice range from single-train controlof emergency diesel generators viathreefold-redundant turbine protectionto three-train or four-train reactorprotection systems with internallyindependent subsystems.Comprehensive testof all TELEPERM XScomponents,functions and I/Osignals in the test bay,Ringhals 1 cabinetsfor example7

Compatible:Suitable for Refits, Modernizationand New PlantsEvery plant has its specifi c requirements andindividual interfaces. In refi t and modernizationprojects, this means adapting to diverseexisting function and hardware confi gurations.TELEPERM XS is prepared to meetthese challenges.TELEPERM XS makes it possible to implementany desired system architecture andfunction and its versatility eases the integrationinto existing plants.A broad spectrum of solutions for compatibleinterfaces is available. All relevant types offi eld signals can be interfaced with. The datalink to other digital systems is provided bystandard or one-of-a-kind communicationbridges (gateways).Preferably, TELEPERM XS systemsare installed in standard cabinets with the useof our matched mounting and cabling equipment.If, however, the original cabinets andcable terminals shall be maintained, we areable to install the new TELEPERM XS moduleframes into the existing cabinet enclosures.8

Economical:TELEPERM XS I&C Systems:a Secure Investment in the Long TermEffi cient, low-cost maintenance of the systemplatform is essential to economical operationof safety and safety-related I&C systems inthe long term. For this reason, TELEPERM XSwas developed from the very beginning targetingvery low operating and maintenancecosts and long-term support availability.An essential prerequisite for this is the clear,transparent confi guration structure of thesystem platform. As far as possible, autonomouscomponents with defi ned, durableand stable interfaces are used, and all I&Cfunctions are implemented in the applicationsoftware, which is automatically generatedfrom function diagrams.In particular, strict attention has been paidto ensuring that any changes to the systemplatform and changes in the application softwarewill not affect each other.New EPR Olkiluoto 3, FinlandThis makes it possible to innovate individualcomponents and to incorporate new developmentswithout the loss of compatibility– even different computer generations can beused together. This ensures that compatiblestate-of-the-art components will be available,also in the long term, as replacements andfor system extensions. Even systems that arealready installed can keep up with technologicalprogress.TELEPERM XS offers ideal conditions forlong-term, low-cost maintenance and for futureextensions and functional improvementsto your I&C system.9
