Nuclear power plants - Control rooms - Application of visual display units (VDUs)

IEC 61772:2009 supplements IEC 60964 and presents design requirements for the application of VDUs in main control rooms of nuclear power plants. Assists the designer in specifying VDU applications including displays on individual workstations and larger displays for group-working or distant viewing. The main technical changes with respect to the previous edition are as follows: - expand the previous text to cover the use of large screen displays, to provide improved recommendations on the use of colour, and to improve the coverage of back-fit or upgrade applications; - present examples of good practice.

Centrales nucléaires de puissance - Salles de commande - Utilisation des unités de visualisation

La CEI 61772:2009 complète la CEI 60964 et présente des exigences de conception pour l'application des unités de visualisation dans les salles de commande principales des centrales nucléaires de puissance. Aide le concepteur à spécifier les applications relatives aux unités de visualisation y compris les affichages sur les stations de travail individuelles ou sur de plus grands dispositifs d'affichage destinés au travail de groupe ou à la visualisation à distance. Les principaux changements techniques par rapport à l'édition précédente sont les suivants: - étendre le domaine pour couvrir l'utilisation des grands écrans, et pour améliorer les recommandations concernant l'utilisation des couleurs ainsi que la couverture des applications de rénovation ou de mise à niveau; - présenter des exemples de bonnes pratiques.

Jedrske elektrarne - Nadzorne sobe - Uporaba video prikazovalnikov (VDU)

Ta mednarodni standard dopolnjuje standard IEC 60964. Predstavlja zahteve glede načrtovanja za uporabo video prikazovalnikov (VDU) v glavnih nadzornih sobah jedrskih elektrarn. Za glavno nadzorno sobo jedrske elektrarne standard IEC 60964 vključuje splošne zahteve za postavitev, potrebe uporabnika ter metode preverjanja in potrjevanja, pri čemer se ti vidiki v zadevnem standardu ne ponavljajo. Poleg tega standarda je treba prebrati tudi standarde IEC 61227, IEC 61771, IEC 62241 in IEC 61839. Ta standard je oblikovalcu v pomoč pri ugotavljanju načinov uporabe video prikazovalnikov (vključno z zasloni na individualnih delovnih postajah in večjimi zasloni za skupinsko delo ali gledanje z večje razdalje) skupaj s konvencionalnimi (ploščatimi) zasloni ali namesto njih z naslednjim: – navajanje načel za sklicevanje na zmogljivost video prikazovalnikov; – navajanje primerov dobre prakse in vodenje oblikovalca, da se preprečijo pomanjkljivosti. Ta standard vključuje: a) zahteve za potrebe po informacijah: – v skladu s cilji glede informacij, kot so delovanje, vzdrževanje, zaščita, – omogočanje dovolj velikega prostora, tj. lokacija, ureditev, – uporaba hierarhije in/ali razmerij, – preprečevanje nepotrebnih informacij, – zagotavljanje, da so informacije pomembne, b) zahteve za dobro predstavitev, kot so: – čist in neutripajoč zaslon z ustrezno frekvenco osveževanja, – dovolj velik zaslon in optimalna razporeditev, – ustrezna velikost in mere simbola, – slikovit zaslon s simboli poleg alfanumerične zmogljivosti, – standardizirani splošni simboli in imena, – razporeditev, usmerjena v potrebe človeškega dejavnika, npr. stereotipi glede prebivalstva, – uporaba metod za združevanje v skupine in šifriranje, – uporaba ustrezne smeri pretoka, – ustrezne ravni abstrakcije podatkov v skladu s potrebami različnih predvidenih uporabnikov, c) metode za enostaven in hiter dostop do specifičnih informacij trenutnega zanimanja: – z enostavno izbiro posameznih formatov ali zbirk formatov v skladu z informacijskimi cilji, – z uporabo različnih vrst menijev (ikone sorodnih informacij) ali drugih načinov dostopa (zadnji prikaz, izbira na zaslonu itd.) z vklopljenimi ali izklopljenimi zaslonskimi tipkami, zasloni video prikazovalnikov ali kazalniki, – z uporabo programirane predstavitve (sprožene z binarnim signalom, npr. alarmom), d) merila načrtovanja za dosego ustrezne zanesljivosti vseh funkcij, potrebnih za dosego opredeljenih informacijskih ciljev. Ta standard je namenjen uporabi pri načrtovanju novih glavnih nadzornih sob jedrskih elektrarn v skladu s standardom IEC 60964, pri čemer se to začne po objavi tega standarda. V primeru njegove uporabe v obstoječih načrtih nadzornih sob ali območij, je potrebna posebna pozornost, ker nekatere navedene predpostavke (npr. stopnja avtomatizacije) morda ne veljajo. Če je potreben odklon od tega standarda pri posodabljanju, je treba vzroke zabeležiti.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used
