ADP Point Names (quick reference)

New Naming/Numbering Rules

In the new plant computer system, the building and unit have been added as a prefix to the beginning of all point names using the following format:  Cbb.Uu.******** Where bb represents the building number and u represents the unit number. For C-310 and C-315 (where there are no units (or only one unit)), the format is Cbbb.P.******** with bbb containing 310 or 315 (the 'P' is a placeholder, added to maintain the three parts of a point name, as well as to keep the original 8 character names aligned for sorting and searching).

The point ID numbers have also been changed in the new system. In the old system, commands addressed only a single unit and data type before accepting a point ID number. In the new system, the unit number (1 - 21) became the thousands part of the point ID numbers. For example, in the new system analog point number 253 in C31U3 would be numbered 3,253. Unfortunately, the old system allowed digital and smoke points to have ID numbers of 1 - n right along with the analogs, but since that was not possible in the new system, the following additional rules apply for digital and smoke points:  Add 500 to the original digital point number and add 750 to the original smoke point number (plus the appropriate thousands value for the unit) to locate a digital or smoke by point ID number. EXCEPT IN C-310, where the rule is to use unit number 22 for the thousands value, and then digital point numbers are otherwise the same, C-310 smoke points add 500 to get to their new number.

The final naming change from the old system is that all of the C-315 points that are scanned by C31U1 have been named appropriately as C-315 points. That means that the leading 'A' was removed from the point name, and their prefix is 'C315.P.' instead of 'C31.U1.' as all the actual C31U1 points are prefixed.

The new system also includes points that did not exist (or existed in a different form) in the old CADP system. Some of these (like the current pressure gradient ID number) don't belong to any particular building and were therefore given a prefix of C300.P. The others are for reporting information about the new plant computer system itself and all begin with "PICS-".

Original Naming Rules

What follows is the naming convention for the original CADP system, slightly ammended to include the new plant computer's values, too.

FIRST CHARACTER
ANALOG POINT TYPE DIGITAL POINT TYPE
T - T/C's, temperature
V - Vibration in velocity or G's
K - KW, power usage, equipment
R - RTD reference voltage
M - MW, power usage, building
P - PG Leak detection
E - Electrical contact
D - Digital contact
S - Smoke (PG) detection C-310
I - Instrument alarm
S - Steam usage
A - Assay
F - Freezer/sublimer - Cell pressures in "000" Units 1 thru 4 and odd cells in Unit 5
G - Cell pressures in "00" and "000" Unit 6 and even cells in Unit 5
W - Pressure gradient
X - Temperature gradient
C - Cold Junction (temperature) reference
Z - Zero voltage reference
L - Line recorder
Q - Unit computer data quality (byte/packet counts from AVCO/CPI gear)
NOTE

Generally, the CADP point name second and third characters will be a numeric value relating to the cell/stage of the associated unit. However, several points are related to cell bypasses, auxiliary equipment, etc. and may have any or all of the second through eighth characters as letters.
Examples of Second through Eighth Characters
SECOND CHARACTER

1 thru 0 (10) = CELL NUMBER
N = Normtex Pump
L or H = P&E Pump temps
C = P&E Pump vibrations
THIRD CHARACTER

1 thru 0 (10) = STAGE NUMBER
EQUIPMENT NUMBER

4th - 8th CHARACTER
OTHER DESCRIPTION
NOTE:
  1. * denotes wild card. Replaces one character.
    (in the new system, more complex regular expressions may be used as well)
  2. C-315 Analog and Digital points begin with A in 1st column with type of point in 2nd column.
    (in the new system, C-315 points are like all others)
  3. C-310 digital points begin with D in 1st column with type of point in 2nd column
  4. PG digital points with cell number in 2nd column.
  5. C-310 PG digital points begin with S (Smoke) in 1st column.
