should be used to assess system properties of a basic control system (BCS) IEC 61069 consists of the following parts Part 1: Terminology and basic concepts Part 2: Assessment methodology Part 3: Assessment of system functionality Part 4: Assessment of system performance Part 5: Assessment of system dependability Part 6: Assessment of system operability Part 7: Assessment of system safety Part 8: Assessment of other system properties Assessment of a system is the judgement, based on evidence, of the suitability of the system for a specific mission or class of missions To obtain total evidence would require complete evaluation (for example under all influencing factors) of all system properties relevant to the specific mission or class of missions Since this is rarely practical, the rationale on which an assessment of a system should be based is: – the identification of the importance of each of the relevant system properties; – the planning for evaluation of the relevant system properties with a cost-effective dedication of effort to the various system properties In conducting an assessment of a system, it is crucial to bear in mind the need to gain a maximum increase in confidence in the suitability of a system within practical cost and time constraints An assessment can only be carried out if a mission has been stated (or given), or if any mission can be hypothesized In the absence of a mission, no assessment can be made; however, evaluations can still be specified and carried out for use in assessments performed by others In such cases, IEC 61069 can be used as a guide for planning an evaluation and it provides methods for performing evaluations, since evaluations are an integral part of assessment In preparing the assessment, it can be discovered that the definition of the system is too narrow For example, a facility with two or more revisions of the control systems sharing resources, for example a network, should consider issues of co-existence and inter-operability In this case, the system to be investigated should not be limited to the “new” BCS; it should include both That is, it should change the boundaries of the system to include enough of the other system to address these concerns The series structure and the relationship among the parts of IEC 61069 are shown in Figure – 16 – BS EN 61069-6:2016 IEC 61069-6:2016 © IEC 2016 quantified Unless the analysis is followed by an empirical evaluation the data obtained are subjective 6.2.4 Transparency It should be checked that the operator’s actions and corresponding system reactions and presentations are related to the task in a cognitive manner This means that paperwork or extensive mental processes are not required, to convert the human understanding of the task into its system representation 6.2.5 Robustness The documented functions (hardware and/or software) provided in the system to ensure robustness should be analysed to check whether these cover for example: – a method to acknowledge the receipt of information during transfer of data between modules; – the ability to detect errors caused by external noise and/or false or unauthorised information; – the application of redundancy, for example retransmission, cycle redundancy check; – the inclusion of a reasonability check, etc 6.3 6.3.1 Empirical evaluation techniques General The empirical evaluation should always be preceded by an analytical evaluation For the empirical evaluation a system model should be assembled This should comprise a selection of system functions, closely representing the tasks to be performed and the two-way communication means of the human-machine interface 6.3.2 Efficiency The performance of a selection of task(s), by a group of typical operators, should be monitored The sequence of steps actually taken by each operator should be recorded together with the total operator time (but excluding system function execution time) and the number of operator errors made For each of the tasks (or class of tasks) the number of operator steps required should be compared with the number of steps established in the analytical and theoretical task breakdown Although in this way the numbers obtained cannot be expressed in an actual efficiency number, it allows ranking of systems, when the objective of the assessment is to compare operability of systems 6.3.3 Intuitiveness Using the observations of the analytical evaluation, the empirical evaluation of intuitiveness should in practice be executed in parallel with the evaluation of efficiency as described in 6.3.2 The sequence of steps made by the operators, the number of hesitations, repetitions and errors made, and the steps at which these actions occur should be recorded The number of recordings and their importance is inversely proportional to intuitiveness BS EN 61069-6:2016 IEC 61069-6:2016 © IEC 2016 6.3.4 – 17 – Transparency The analysis executed in 6.2.4 and the data obtained under 6.3.3 should be carefully analysed together, since part of the recordings of repetitions and errors made can be due to lack of transparency 6.3.5 Robustness Operational robustness can be evaluated by the degree of accepted deviation from correct input and the system reaction on multi-key inputs or incorrect inputs (misprints) The system can provide plausibility and self-correcting functions The evaluation method for efficiency can be used and, if possible, be carried out at the same time, but should include the following: – variations from the documented method and procedure; – absence/presence of system warnings and advice when the method/procedure used is ambiguous; – whether or not the operator managed to recover the required operation 6.4 Additional topics for evaluation techniques Operability can be affected by the influencing factors as stated in 4.2 It should be taken into account that during some phases in the life cycle of the system, operability is required under quite different conditions than those which normally exist in a control room During these phases, for example during the commissioning and maintenance phase, the system can be exposed to conditions, which prevail in the process area – 18 – BS EN 61069-6:2016 IEC 61069-6:2016 © IEC 2016 Annex A (informative) Checklist and/or example of SRD for system operability A.1 General The human-machine interface not only gives the operators a view of the system itself, but by means of it, they also control, monitor and regulate the industrial process connected to the system via its input/output devices The requirements for the operability of a system not only come from all the different aspects, which will be encountered during the design, engineering, commissioning, operational and maintenance phases of the system’s life cycle, but also are strongly influenced by the personnel using the system and the environment the system is placed in Particular attention should be given to check that for each of the system tasks the operability requirements are given with respect to: – the phase of the system life cycle during which the task should be performed; – the duration of each phase and task(s); – the minimum and maximum number of operators, who should use the human interface at the same time to perform the task(s); – information about the profiles of the operators involved, such as their education, responsibility, role, skill and previous knowledge, etc.; – protocols and methods to be used, especially aspects requiring the operators to use the system at the same time The operability requirements should have been addressed both in relation to individual tasks as well as in relation to the total mission A.2 Factors resulting from the industrial process itself Some of the system operability factors have to with the industrial process under control Examples of these factors are: a) Process structure has an influence on the presentation of the hierarchical structure of the information, such as the number of subprocesses, single or integrated operations; the physical and geographical location of the facilities; batch or continuous operation, etc.; b) Process modes of operation (inclusive start-ups and shutdowns), their frequency of occurrence and duration; continuous operation at fixed standard settings or batch operation requiring frequent changes from one mode of operation to another at different settings, etc.; c) Number and characteristics of the process variables, such as: accuracy required, are the variables measurable, determination of process state, mutual interaction of the process variables, etc.; d) Characteristics of the process itself, especially dynamical aspects such as time constants of the (sub)processes, batch duration, changing characteristics with load (linear/nonlinear), process stability and predictability, etc.; e) Potential hazardous conditions of process (explosive atmosphere, toxicity, etc.) Each of these factors possibly require a change in the human-machine interface and to be implemented, either planned, unplanned or when a disturbance occurs BS EN 61069-6:2016 IEC 61069-6:2016 © IEC 2016 A.3 – 19 – Factors related with the task of the operators, their frequency, percentage of time spent, required number of actions, etc Some of the system operability factors have to with operators, their frequency, percentage of time spent, required number of actions Examples of these factors are: a) Process control tasks: 1) modes of control (on/off, stabilising, optimizing); 2)

operators/supervisors/other personnel; 3) background (age, level of education, experience, training), etc d) Organizational: 1) allocation of task between field and control room personnel; 2) authority levels in the use of the human-machine interface(s); 3) instructions and procedures; 4) organizational structure, etc A.4 Factors due to the control strategy required Some of the system operability factors have to with the control strategy required Examples of these factors are: a) Degree of automation: 1) number of control loops (analogue/discrete, PID/multivariable, final control elements); 2) number of plant protection loops; 3) number of switching actions executed by the system, etc b) Control strategies: 1) single, cascade, ratio, adaptive, multi-variable, free programmable, etc., and the number of each kind c) Control functions executed by the system: 1) on/off, stabilising, optimization, limiting and emergency control, alarming and alarm analysing,

allowed/not-allowed manual adjustments, etc A.5 Factors concerning the human-machine interface design Some of the system operability factors have to with the human-machine interface design Examples of these factors are: a) Specific information, which can be required by operators and further general aspects such as amount, complexity, update frequency, sequence, serial/parallel presentation, redundant presentation, etc of the following elements: 1) overall information on process state, operational values, etc.; 2) information on occurrence and location of deviations from required operation; 3) clustered information on essential process variables; 4) information on historical and predicted future process behaviour, etc b) Interventions allowed: 1) switching of process plant

symbol and background, colours, size, image sharpness and stability, screen profile, screen orientation; 2) printers; 3) acoustic; 4) recorders, indicators, lamps, etc A.6 Influence of the workplace on the operability requirements The layout of workplace is as follows: a) working posture (standing or sitting, head position and movement, postural loading); b) footrest, arm support; c) dimensions of workstation (work space, desk height, shape, position of output devices), etc d) distance between operator and manipulation means and information sources; e) lighting, noise, climate, vibration, dirt/dust, comfort, etc.; f) control room design: the materials and colours used for walls, floor, desks, ceiling, etc BS EN 61069-6:2016 IEC 61069-6:2016 © IEC 2016 A.7 – 21 – General human factors Some of the system operability factors have to with the general human factors Examples of these factors are: a) Physical load: working posture, movements to be executed, forces to be exercised, number and frequency of actions, etc b) Mental load: memory load (short and long term), required information processing (amount and speed), etc – 22 – BS EN 61069-6:2016 IEC 61069-6:2016 © IEC 2016 Annex B (informative) Checklist and/or example of SSD for system operability B.1 SSD information The system specification document should be reviewed to check that the properties given in the SRD are listed as described in IEC 61069-2:2016, Annex B B.2 Check points for system operability Particular attention should be paid to check that information, on a task-by-task basis, is given on: – the functions proposed to support the operability aspects of each task; – for each function the modules and elements, both hardware and software, supporting the function; The level of detailing the implementation of the task(s) and the extent of subdivision into modules and elements should be only that which is necessary, yet sufficient to demonstrate that the requirements are met – the way in which the interaction is provided for the operator by the proposed system in terms of devices, methods and procedures; Depending on the architecture of the system, task(s) can be supported by alternative sets of functions, which can require alternative sequences of operations at the human-machine interface – the skills, experience, etc to be required by the operators to operate the system properly, and the tools provided in support of the operation through the human-machine interface; – the underlying rationale if the system proposed differs from the requirements or if different alternative solutions are suggested, supported by data, for example standards, field experience, test reports, calculations, etc The review should in particular examine whether for each operational phase the necessary information is given how the required tasks can be performed with the given group of personnel BS EN 61069-6:2016 IEC 61069-6:2016 © IEC 2016 – 23 – Annex C (informative) Example of a list of
