The ISA 5.1 (2009) standard provides an updated framework for instrumentation symbolism and identification systems, reflecting advancements in technology and industrial practices since its inception in 1949. Aimed at enhancing communication across industries reliant on measurement and control systems, it introduces a dedicated language that encapsulates key concepts related to measurement and control, while also addressing limitations in previous versions by offering more precise guidance tailored to various stakeholder needs.

The previous section described the basic elements of control as measurement, comparison, and adjustment. In practice, there are instruments and strategies to accomplish each of these essential tasks. In some cases, a single process control instrument, such as a modern pressure transmitter, may perform more than one of the basic control functions. Other technologies have been developed so that communication can occur among the components that measure, compare, and adjust.

It is typical for digital instrumentation and controls, used to manage significant risk, to undergo substantial amounts of scrutiny. The equipment must be proven to have the necessary level of design integrity. The details of the scrutiny vary based on the particular industry, but the ultimate goal is to provide sufficient evidence that the equipment will operate successfully when performing their required functions. To be able to stand up to the scrutiny and more importantly, successfully perform the required safety functions, the equipment must be designed to defend against random hardware failures and also to prevent systematic faults. These design activities must also have been documented in a manner that sufficiently proves their adequacy. The variability in the requirements of the different industries makes this task difficult for instrumentation and controls equipment manufacturers. To assist the manufacturers in dealing with these differences, a standardization of requirements is needed to facilitate clear communication of expectations. The IEC 61508 set of standards exists to fulfill this role, but it is not yet universally embraced. After that occurs, various industries, from nuclear power generation to oil & gas production, will benefit from the existence of a wider range of equipment that has been designed to perform in these critical roles and that also includes the evidence necessary to prove its integrity. The manufacturers will then be able to enjoy the benefit of having a larger customer base interested in their products. The use of IEC 61508 will also help industries avoid significant amounts of uncertainty when selecting commercial off-the-shelf equipment. It is currently understood that it cannot be assumed that a typical commercial manufacturer's equipment designs and associated design activities will be adequate to allow for success in these high risk applications. In contrast, a manufacturer that seeks to comply with IEC 61508 and seeks to achieve certification by an independent third party can be assumed to be better suited for meeting the needs of these demanding situations. Use of these manufacturers help to avoid substantial uncertainty and risk. v

This report presents the findings from a survey of emerging technologies in the field of instrumentation and controls (I&C). The report (1) gives an overview of the state-of-the-art in selected technology focus areas for industrial, research, or scientific applications that are relevant to nuclear power plant I&C systems, (2) identifies significant technological advances or projected developments that could impact safety-related applications for upgrades at existing reactors and for near-term or long-term deployment at future nuclear power plants, and (3) suggests potential research needs for consideration and technology trends for monitoring. The research approach taken for the emerging technology survey was to first identify a set of technological focus areas within the I&C discipline. These technology focus areas are
A REVIEW STUDY ON INSTRUMENTATION AND CONTROL ENGINEERING, 2023
In the present review, instrumentation and control engineering (ICE) is defined as a branch of engineering that studies the measurement and control of process variables, and the design and implementation of systems that incorporate them. Instrumentation and control engineering (ICE) combines two branches of engineering. Instrumentation engineering is the science of the measurement and control of process variables within a production or manufacturing area. Meanwhile, control engineering, also called control systems engineering, is the engineering discipline that applies control theory to design systems with desired behaviors. Control engineers are responsible for the research, design, and development of control devices and systems, typically in manufacturing facilities and process plants. Control methods employ sensors to measure the output variable of the device and provide feedback to the controller so that it can make corrections toward desired performance. Automatic control manages a device without the need of human inputs for correction, such as cruise control for regulating a car's speed. In the present study a comprehensive review study on instrumentation and control engineering have been presented. The study was considered from different viewpoints which includes general introduction to instrumentation and control engineering; a comprehensive instrumentation that deliberates the present subject from the consideration of introduction, historical background and development, applications, measurement parameters, instrumentation engineering, impact of modern development; control engineering from the consideration of introduction, overview, history, control theory, control systems, control engineering education, control engineering careers, and recent advancement; and the last section is the conclusions.

The ITER instrumentation and control (I&C) system is the term encompassing all hardware and software required to operate ITER. It has two levels of hierarchy: the central I&C systems and the plant systems I&C. The plant systems I&C consists of thousands of computers processing hundreds of thousands of signals. The plant systems I&C, being the hardware interfacing layer for operating the ITER machine, shall integrate, control and coordinate all these computers and signals and allow a limited number of staff to operate the ITER machine from a central location with minimum human intervention during experimental pulses and 24 h/7 day continuous operation. The procurement model, together with the current estimate of 161 plant systems I&C, poses a major challenge for the realization and integration of the ITER I&C systems. standardization of plant systems I&C is of primary importance and has been one of the highest priority tasks of CODAC by issuing the Plant Control Design Handbook (PCDH) to ensure ITER I&C systems will contribute and be instrumental in making ITER project a success. In this paper we will elaborate from a technical perspective on what the CODAC team defined in the current version of PCDH (v5) for this standardization process.
