Pre-Engineering Checklists
The checklists provided within this section are applicable to the requirements.
It should be recognized that the requirements will undergo refinement,
particularly, in the early stages of a project. The information provided initially
may be 'outline'; in this case these checklists should be used to help identify
where omission has occurred or where further refinement is necessary.

Does the installation position the modules in the upright position
to ensure non-forced air cooling is effective ?
Does the installation environment meet the environmental
specification for the controller ?
Has a list of all the third-party equipment interfaces been provided
and are definitions of both the protocol and the data to be
interchanged established?
Are all of the plant interfaces defined, including the signal qualities
and characteristics?
Have any special or abnormal conditions that exceed the normal
equipment capabilities been highlighted to enable special measure
to be implemented?
