Smart Electrical supports KKS naming conventions for process-related identification of the following item types:

  • PDBs

  • Circuits

  • Loads

  • Converting equipment

  • Disconnect electrical equipment

  • Signal runs

  • Panels (control stations, cabinets, junction boxes, local panels)

  • Cables

In addition, the software supports point of installation identification for buses and cells.

For each of these item types, the following KKS segment properties are available:

KKS Level Name

Property

Description

Total Plant

Total Plant

Single character (numeric or alphabetic).

System Code

System Code Prefix (optional)

Single digit.

System Classification

Three-character alphabetic key, selected from a standard list, that represents the type of system in use the plant.

System Numbering

Two-digit number with leading zeros.

Equipment Unit Code

Equipment Unit Classification

Two-character alphabetic key, selected from a standard list that represents the type of equipment within the system used for measuring or monitoring the system, or the type of measurement circuit (level, flow, and so forth).

Equipment Unit Numbering

Three-digit number with leading zeros.

Equipment Unit Additional Code

Optional character (alphabetic) used for special cases such as a thermocouple with dual elements.

Component Code

Component Classification

Two-character alphabetic key, selected from a standard list that represents the type of component.

Component Numbering

Two-digit number with leading zeros.

Numbering Element (for cables only)

Tag Sequence Number (non- KKS)

Four-character numeric or alphabetic value representing the unique numbering of a particular cable.

Examples

For a switchgear or PDB, only the System Code segments are required in most cases. Thus a suitable KKS name for a medium voltage PDB would be '1 0BBA01', where the values are designated as follows:

Property

Value

Description

Total Plant

1

System Code Prefix

0

System Classification

BBA

BBA MV distribution board

System Numbering

01

Equipment Unit Classification

(Not used)

Equipment Unit Numbering

(Not used)

For a motor, the KKS identification '1 0PAC01 AP001B –M01' could be used, where the values are designated as follows:

Property

Value

Description

Total Plant

1

System Code Prefix

PAC

Circulating (main cooling) water pump system

System Numbering

01

Equipment Unit Classification

AP

Pump units

Equipment Unit Numbering

001

Component Classification

-M

Motors

Component Numbering

01

  • When making electrical associations, KKS naming is propagated between certain items. For a complete list of propagation rules, see Propagation of KKS Names in Smart ElectricalSmart Electrical.

  • You can change the terminology of a key on a project-specific basis provided that the contents remain unchanged. Make sure that you do not select a code that is designated as Blocked. Blocked coding letters are reserved for future technologies and new systems engineering configurations. They may only be allocated and released by the VGB Technical Committee on Technical Classification Systems.
