Representation of electrical and instrument objects in digital 3D plant models during engineering (IEC 63261:2024); German version EN IEC 63261:2024
Darstellung von elektrischen und prozessleittechnischen Komponenten in digitalen 3D Modellen von Prozessanlagen während der Projektabwicklung (IEC 63261:2024); Deutsche Fassung EN IEC 63261:2024
Overview
This document provides requirements for the E&I objects of a digital 3D plant model, used in the engineering phase to design and construct a process plant and its instrumentation. It provides guidance how to model plants and their electrical and instrumentation equipment. This document also specifies the content and the possible output of the 3D plant model at project milestones. This document can be used by the contractual partners to agree upon the content of the 3D plant model to be delivered at specified milestones. This document does not specify the transfer and format of digital 3D plant models. This document does not specify definitions or instructions to equipment representations and details of elements in the 3D plant model not belonging to electrical and instrumentation domains. This document describes which E&I objects the 3D plant model shall contain, should contain, should not contain, or may contain, and what requirements apply to the output of the 3D plant model.
