Summary
An overview of the essential tasks involved in managing instrumentation and control systems for engineering projects.
Scope and Responsibilities for Instrumentation and Control Engineering
Highlights
Project Planning and Engineering
Engineers are responsible for defining scopes of work, establishing project budgets, and estimating necessary manhours for successful project execution.
System Design and Specification
Key technical tasks include developing control philosophies, logic sequences, and narratives. This involves specifying critical control systems such as DCS, SIS, FGS, ESD, HIPPS, and BMS.
Cross-Disciplinary Coordination
The role requires active collaboration with process, piping, and mechanical departments to ensure P&IDs are developed according to industry standards like ANSI/ISA S5.1.
