EMR systems are essential for the safe and efficient operation of a wide range of systems and processes. They are used in a wide range of sectors, including the energy sector, industry and building automation. EMR planning is an important step for the safe and efficient use of EMR systems. A well-planned system can reduce operating costs, increase safety and improve reliability.
EMR planning involves a series of steps, including:
Analysis of the requirements
The first task in EMR planning is to analyze the requirements of the system or process. This includes the following points:
- Type and quantity of electricity required
- Required accuracy of the measurements
- Required control functions
- Safety requirements
- Environmental requirements
- Budget
Design of the system
The system or process is designed based on the requirements. This includes selecting the right components, calculating the required cable cross-sections and defining the circuits. The following points must be observed when designing the system:
- Reliability
- Efficiency
- Security
- Costs
- Ease of maintenance
Installation of the system
The EMR system is then installed. This includes installing the components, laying the cables and commissioning the system. The following points must be observed when installing the system:
- Qualification of staff
- Compliance with safety regulations
- Documentation of the system
Maintenance of the system
The EMR system must be serviced regularly to ensure optimum performance and safety. This includes checking the components, cleaning the system and carrying out repairs. The following points must be observed when maintaining the system:
- Regular maintenance intervals
- Use of original spare parts
- Qualification of maintenance personnel
- Documentation of maintenance
