Preface to the KKS Application Explanations, issue 2004
With the edition 2004 the layout was adapted on the form used by “VGB PowerTech Service
GmbH” since the year 2000 and the text of the Application Explanations B 106 was converted to
standardized electronic formats.
The VGB Technical Committee “Technical Classification Systems”, often specified in the “KKS
Application Explanations”, became to the Working Panel “Reference Designation and Plant
Documentation” due to the structural changes of VGB in the last years.
A project team, specially installed by the Working Panel, provided also the "KKS Application
Explanations for Hydro-Power Plants" which was published in the year 2004. These specific
Application Explanations of Hydro-Power, published as B106 D1 supplement the existing
explanations around the special interests of the Hydro-Power plants and create the basis for a
more efficient engineering and project completion in this field of activity.
Correct application of the KKS is the condition that unique identification and rational function in
the desired measure is reached. The Application Explanations are supplements to the KKS
Guidelines and are intended to give assistance in use of the identification system.
Following overview shows the connection between the KKS Definitions and KKS Applications.

1 Structure and Scope
The Application Explanations show the many possible ways of using KKS to fulfil the
various identification requirements of the engineering disciplines. The application
explanations are also structured in keeping with these requirements.
The Application Explanations, which give examples on the use of KKS, contain detailed
descriptions for the various engineering disciplines and are subdivided as follows:
Part A: General KKS application explanations
Part B: Engineering discipline-specific application explanations
Part B1: Identification in mechanical engineering
Part B2: Identification in civil engineering
Part B3: Identification in electrical and control and instrumentation
engineering
Part B4: Identification of control and instrumentation tasks/functions in
process systems and identification of functions in control and
instrumentation systems
Part C: Engineering discipline-specific identification examples

2 Format of Code
2.1 Types of Code and Breakdown Levels
In consideration of the various requirements placed on the identification of plants,

sections of plants and items of equipment in power stations, KKS has three different
types of code:
Process-related code
Process-related identification of systems and items of equipment according to their
functions in mechanical, civil, electrical and control and instrumentation
engineering
Point of installation code
Identification of points of installation of electrical and control and instrumentation
devices in installation units (e.g. in cabinets, panels, consoles)
Location code
Identification of locations in structures, on floors and in rooms and also of fire
areas and topographical stipulations (surface area grid)
These three types of code use the same identification scheme, which is subdivided into
four breakdown levels. Originally the titles of the breakdown levels were based on the
process-related code:
Serial no. of
0 1 2 3
breakdown level
Titel of breakdown
Total plant Function Equipment unit Component
level
The titles of the breakdown levels of the three types of code will be as follows:

The synopsis overleaf shows the following relationships:

- Examples of types of code and breakdown levels
- Correlation of the examples with the engineering disciplines
- Correlation of the examples with the individual parts of the application
explanations
Of particular importance is the process-related code. It is used by all engineering
disciplines, whether mechanical, civil, electrical or control and instrumentation
engineering. As is apparent from the synopsis, it is possible to combine items from
different engineering disciplines in one code, for example:

2.2 Examples of Types of Identification
2.2.1 Process-Related Identification
The process-related code serves to identify systems, plants, sections of plants and items
of equipment according to their tasks in the power station process. It is used by all
engineering disciplines.
The examples below illustrate applications in mechanical, civil, electrical, control and
instrumentation engineering. The examples also demonstrate combinations of code
elements from the various engineering disciplines within a code.

2.2.2 Point of Installation Identification
The point of installation code serves to identify the installation units and installation
spaces of electrical and instrumentation and control facilities and equipment.

In this instance, subdivision of the installation unit into installation spaces is unnecessary.

2.2.3 Location Identification
The location code serves to identify structures, floors, rooms and fire areas in order to
provide unique addressing of the locations of plants, sections of plants an items of
equipment in power stations.
The location code is used by all engineering disciplines, whether mechanical, civil,
electrical, control and instrumentation engineering.

2.3 Prefix Symbols and Breakdown Symbols for Types of Code
The types of code are distinguished in accordance with DIN 40719, Part 2, by means of
prefix and breakdown symbols.

Prefix symbol Breakdown symbol
The prefix symbols are necessary because in some applications the same code letters
are used on breakdown level 1 for different types of code; consequently confusion is
possible if prefix symbols are not entered. The prefix symbols may be omitted if the code
remains unique, due to the use of formatted notation in flow diagrams, for example.
In the point of installation code the " • " breakdown symbol is placed between breakdown
levels 1 and 2.
Example:
Process-related code: Cooling unit in cabinet = CHA04 AH001
Point of installation code: Installation space in cabinet + CHA04.AH001
The " • " breakdown symbol is necessary for positive distinction between types of code
and therefore must always be written. Explanations on this are given in Part B3.
18
2.4 Format of Breakdown Levels
The code is made up of breakdown levels. The individual breakdown levels are differently
formatted. They are made up of classifying and numbering code elements. The latter
consist of data characters occupied by alpha and numeric symbols.
Serial no. of
0 1 2 3

Designation of F0 F1 F2 F3 FN A1 A2 AN A3 B1 B2 BN
G
data character
Type of data
A or N N A A A N N A A N N N A A A N N
character
A = Alpha characters (Roman letters except I and O, and special symbols)

N = Numerical characters (Arabic numerals)
The breakdown levels and the data characters within the breakdown levels denote pro-
gressively smaller entities from left to right.
Read from left to right no data characters may be omitted. Special guidelines apply to
data characters G, F0 and A3 .
2.4.1 Classifying Code Elements
The alpha code elements F1, F2, F3, A1, A2 and B1, B2 have a classifying function.

The classifying coding letters and designations are established on a non-project-specific

basis in the KKS keys as follows:
- Function key, for F1 / F1 F2 / F1 F2 F3 on breakdown level 1
- Equipment unit key, for A1 / A1 A2 on breakdown level 2
- Component key, for B1 / B1 B2 on breakdown level 3
The terminology of the key may be modified on a project-specific basis but only provided
that the contents are not altered. Modifications to be specified between the parties to the
project. "Blocked" coding letters are reserved for future technologies and new systems
engineering configurations. They may only be allocated and released by the VGB Techni-
cal Committee on Technical Classification Systems.
The letters of the alphabet are divided up between the main groups A1 and B1. For this
reason certain letters may not be used within each group.
2.4.2 Numbering Code Elements
The code elements G, F0, FN, AN, A3 and BN have a numbering function.

character
These numbering code elements are subject to agreement on a project-specific basis

and between the parties to the project as regards numbering systems and direction of
numbering. However, the following principles apply:
As a rule numbering starts anew when one of the preceding code elements
changes. Numbering may be consecutive or grouping. Numbering need not be
continuous.
Numbering conventions, once established, may not be altered, not even in the
event of changes made in the progress of planning.
Redundant zeros must be written, except as modified below.
An application-specific scheme of numbering may be established. However, such
schemes may not have the effect of reserving numbers in other applications, not
even within the same engineering discipline.
The subject of numbering systems is dealt with individually for the engineering disciplines
in Parts B1 - B4. Statements on the direction of numbering are made below in the
sections "Total Plant" and "Prefix Symbols" in the present Part A.

Breakdown level 0 identifies
- Power station units
- Non-unit-specific plants
- Extensions
on the site of a power station irrespective of the three types of code. This code, where
used, has to be specified between the parties to the project with respect to:
- Contents
- Type of data character (A or N)
- Direction of numbering
Use of an alpha symbol for the data character of breakdown level 0 is recommended
since the next data character F0 (prefix number of breakdown level 1) is numeric.
Example 13: Identification of units and non-unit-specific plants in a total plant
21
Project-specific local factors are crucial to the direction of numbering (or lettering). The
direction of numbering for breakdown level 0 should be established jointly with that for
the prefix number of breakdown level 1 (q.v.).
The directions of numbering are subject to agreement between the parties to the project
prior to the start of identification. However, standard identification schemes take priority.
The direction of numbering may be established on the basis of the following
considerations:
• Direction of flow of
- materials
- energy
• Direction of view from a defined standpoint, for example
- from left to right
- from bottom to top
- from front to rear
- from inside to outside
• Points of the compass
• Directions of extension
• Cartesian coordinates
• Polar coordinates
• Priorities
Breakdown level 0 may be omitted if the code remains unique. This has to be specified
between the parties to the project.
The "total plant" breakdown level is identical for all three types of code in all engineering
disciplines. It is therefore not dealt with in Parts B1 - B4 of the application explanations.

Prefix number for system code

Numbering similar systems and plants referring to F1 - F3
Within the parts of a power station identified on breakdown level 0 the prefix number ap-
plies only to the system or plant which is classified in the subsequent alpha data charac-
ters. Where multiple identical or similar self-contained systems or plants are identified by
the classifying part of the system code (F1 F2 F3), they are consecutively numbered by
means of the prefix number. Each prefix number applies to the addressed system only.
The prefix number must be written in all codes for the system concerned. The prefix
number is not an alternative to the numbering entered in FN or the identification given on
breakdown level 0.
Use of the prefix number has no effect on the systematics of identification in the other
data characters. If there is a risk of confusion between data characters G and F0 in the
event of incorrect notation of KKS relative to the data characters, F0 should be written as
well.
Details of application to be specified between the parties to the project particularly with
respect to standard identification conventions.
The rules for the prefix number apply in principle to all three types of identification:
- Process-related identification
- Point of installation identification
- Location identification
and to all engineering disciplines:
- Mechanical engineering
- Civil engineering
- Electrical engineering
- Control and instrumentation engineering
For this reason the commentary on the prefix number is not repeated in the application
explanations for the other types of identification in Part A or in the application
explanations contained in Parts B1 - B4.

The number of generator plants in a power station unit governs use of the prefix number.
The prefix number (F0) in the example therefore identifies the following generator plants:
1MK . Generator plant 1 with gas turbine plant 1
2MK . Generator plant 2 with gas turbine plant 2
3MK . Generator plant 3 with steam turbine plant

31
The path for looking up from data character F1 to data characters F2 and F3 and the
applicable interfaces and gaps is as follows: (examples/extracts from the Function Key)
32
Interfaces:
The relevant pages of the Function Key show the interface definitions with the meanings
given below:
"from incl." means "including" the named item

"from excl." means "excluding" the named item
"to excl." means "excluding" the named item
"to incl." means "including" the named item
Gaps:
A number of coding letters in main groups F1 groups F2 and subgroups F3 have been
reserved, for example to allow inclusion of future technologies. In main groups A1 and B1,
as well as in some subgroups, some coding letters have also been reserved. All reserved
coding letters may only be allocated with the agreement of the VGB Technical Committee
on Technical Classification Systems.
In the Function Key it is not possible to make generally valid rules for certain coding
letters in data characters F2 and F3 since they depend exclusively on the configurations
and arrangements concerned. Similar considerations apply to A1 = E and G in the
Equipment Unit Key. In such cases a remark with the following meaning appears in the
key part concerned:
"...free for use for" i.e. the letters thus annotated may be used within the terms of
the stated definitions
or
"...free for use" i.e. unreserved letters may be used without any restrictions
within the terms of the stated definitions in F1 resp. F2
Details of application to be specified between the parties to the project.
33
In Main Group F1 = U for structures, the F3 subdivisions for groups:

• The rules for UA to UX are not binding but are merely suggestions for coding.
Definite subdivisions, even for F3 coding letters not mentioned in the Function Key,
are subject to agreement between the parties to the project prior to the start of
identification.
• The rules for UX and UZ are binding.

Numbering starts anew when one of the preceding code elements changes. The FN code
element has no generally-applicable classifications. Redundant zeros must be written.
The rules below also apply to the direction of numbering in FN:
• In process-related identification the direction of flow takes priority over local
conventions for orientation, for example. (Combinations with numbering
conventions according to direction of flow and local features give rise to conflicts
at intersections, e.g. of parallel pipe trains.)
• The direction of numbering of standardized identification conventions for plants
may only be established in accordance with non-project-specific considerations.
(Superposition of directions of numbering according to project-specific and local
considerations usually destroys the standardized identification convention.)

3.2 Point of Installation Identification
Identification of points of installation of electrical and control and instrumentation devices

in installation units (e.g. in cabinets, panels, consoles).
Every process-related equipment unit and every measuring and control circuit requires
electrical and control and instrumentation equipment. The process-related, that is,
function-related, identification of such items is defined unequivocally under "Process-
Related Identification". The 'point of installation code' serves to identify the points of
installation of electrical components such as switches, indicators and electronic modules.
This is necessary for the cabling and wiring of electrical and control and instrumentation
equipment for example.

Special engineering-discipline-specific rules apply to installation unit classification in

connection with other F1 main groups.
The classifying part of the point of installation code serves to identify hardware facilities
such as switchgear, electronic equipment cabinets and control consoles. The coding
letters A, B, C, D of main group F1 are identical for both process-related and point of
installation identification. Allocation of the many unreserved F2 and F3 data characters is
governed by the individual plant concept, i.e. by aspects such as auxiliary power system
configuration, hardwired control and instrumentation in conventional technology or
combined cabinets or programmable logic systems. Generally valid rules cannot be
established.
