All cabling between the IRC/IFC and MCC/SWB or other electrical
control panels (i.e. VSDS panels), field Motors, etc. is the responsibility of
BIDDER Electrical. The multi pair cables shall be separate for DI and DO
exchange between MCC and DCS.
The measurement of power factor, frequency, speed, power consumption
and other typical electrical signals to be processed / handled in
instrumentation systems is the responsibility of the BIDDER Electrical
discipline. I&CS will be responsible for incorporation of these
measurements into their system(s) from the interface point (IFC) to
respective DCS /DCS panel. Measurements shall preferably be presented
by BIDDER Electrical as isolated analogue signals of 4-20 mA DC, or this
may be via Electrical SCADA redundant software communication link to
