This technical report provides guidance in the design and function of a method for instrument tracking and documentation control that is adaptable for use by multiple plants and is compatible with many of the available plant-site-distributed control systems. The report addresses methods to develop a user-friendly interface that allows instrument technicians and electricians easy access to instrument-and-control-drawing information (loop@ electrical and connection)@ cable schedules@ piping-instrument documents@ and work-practice procedures. This technical report addresses methods linking a document management system with a work and asset management system. These links eliminate the time to manually search for plant drawings@ manuals@ or critical documents. Convenient access is included to daily maintenance@ calibrations@ state certifications@ audit schedules@ instrument-outage-calibrationlist reports@ and options for detailed reports. Purpose The purpose of this technical report is to provide advice and guidance in the development of methods to address the common issue of tracking@ troubleshooting@ and reporting instrument and control (IC) equipment data in a standard format.
