Commercial building automation
presentation and tour
Editors note: This meeting was announced earlier by email and by postcard.
If you did not receive an email notice, please contact info@isa.org or (919)
549-8411 and request that your email address be updated in the roster.
This month’s presentation is Commercial Building Automation for
energy savings and design enhancement, both in new and retro-fit
applications with a Title 24 update.
A tour will take place in a typical residential setting with the audience
experiencing the convenience and aesthetics of lighting and shade
automation. The automated system works to save energy costs, extend lamp
life, reduce heat gain and UV damage to interior fabrics, art, and furniture by operating on an
astronomical time clock. This technology is completely retrofit-able and scalable, using existing
wiring, controlling all load types, and interfacing with third-party devices within the home. A cell
phone app makes monitoring and controlling the entire system from a remote location easy.
Speaker James Cheng is part of the Chicago Specification Team and the Government Team and
has extensive experience in Lutron lighting control for both the private and public sector. Since
becoming the Los Angeles Specification Manager in 2011, James leads a team of specification sales
personnel throughout Los Angeles and Orange County, working with end-users, architects, electrical
engineers, lighting designers, and others concerned with energy-saving and construction. He is a
graduate of both West Point and Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management, and is Lutron
Electronics’ Commercial Sales Leader for Southern California. Originally from Chicago, Mr. Cheng
attended the military Academy and became a Combat Engineer officer in the Regular Army upon
graduation. After a tour in Iraq and the Philippines, he
joined Lutron in 2006.
Lutron is a privately-held lighting control
manufacturer, which originated in 1958 with the
invention of the solid state dimmer by founder Joel
Spira, a Smithsonian inductee.

Last month’s meeting went well.
Paragon Industrial Controls’ Doug Raff gave an informative one-hour
presentation on machine safety. Practical in his approach, he reviewed OSHA
and ANSI regulations on machine safety and illustrated poor and best
practices with examples.
His videos, some of which were
frightening to watch, conveyed many
salient points of his talk more clearly and
distinctly than PowerPoint slides alone.
Sixteen attendeee the monthly meeting. At right, Doug
receives a certificate (photo by Sergei Seleznev.)
Credit goes to Bis Mitra for introducing the speaker and
making sure food and beverages were delivered to Lutron
Electronics on time.
Likewise, I want to thank Winnie Ababat, Craig Lanternier,
Sergei Seleznev, and Jenny Xu for their participation in the
presentation. Their questions to Doug helped clarify safety
concepts and create a stronger imprint of the material learned.

Standards and Practices
ISA99 Cyber Security
Standard Defines Key
Technical Requirements
for Secure Industrial
Control Systems
The ISA-62443 series of standards, being developed by the ISA99
committee and adopted globally by the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC), is designed to provide a flexible framework to
address and mitigate current and future vulnerabilities in industrial
automation and control systems (IACS).
The most recent standard in the series, ISA-62443-3-3-2013,
Security for Industrial Automation and Control Systems Part 3-3:
System Security Requirements and Security Levels, addresses risks
arising from the growing use of business information technology (IT)
cyber security solutions to address IACS cyber security in complex and
dangerous manufacturing and processing applications.
IACS security goals typically focus on control system availability,
plant protection, plant operations, and time-critical system response.
IT security goals, in contrast, often focus more on protecting information than physical assets. For this reason, use of IT cyber security
solutions to address IACS security must be implemented knowledgably
to prevent unintended vulnerabilities that could lead to potentially
disastrous health, safety, environmental, financial, and/or reputational
impacts in deployed control systems.

ISA Newsletters, Southern District 11
Oct-Nov 2013
The new ISA99 standard addresses this concern with an approach
to defining system requirements that is based on a combination of
functional requirements and risk assessment, and an awareness of
operational issues. The standard provides detailed technical control
system requirements associated with seven foundational requirements
described in the groundbreaking first ISA99 standard, ISA-62443-1-1
(99.01.01), including defining the requirements for control system
capability security levels. Those responsible for IACS cyber security
will use these requirements in developing the appropriate control system
target security levels for specific assets.
“This standard provides highly relevant and practical direction to
asset owners, system integrators and suppliers by describing the major
system-level technical requirements for a secure IACS,” stated ISA99
Co-Chair Eric C. Cosman of the Dow Chemical Company. “It serves as a
cornerstone in the ISA-62443/IEC 62443 series, complementing other
standards including ISA-62443-2-1, which addresses the processes and
procedures needed for security.”
The ISA99 committee drew on the input and knowledge of IACS
security experts from across the globe in developing the standard. Unlike
programs targeted at a single industry, ISA99 is applicable to all industry
sectors and critical infrastructure in recognition of the interrelated nature
of industrial computer networks in which cyber vulnerabilities exploited
in one sector can impact multiple sectors and infrastructure.
“The new standard represents a collaborative effort of experts from
multiple industries around the world,” stated the ISA99 task group leader
for the project, Jeff Potter of Emerson Process Management. “Our
intensive series of revise-and-review cycles has resulted in a rigorously
reviewed standard reflecting the best current thinking in control systems
security. Our joint work with IEC experts provides users with further
assurance that this is a truly global standard that can be used to design,
Oct-Nov 2013
build, operate and regulate with full confidence in its longevity and crossnational applicability.”
ANSI/ISA-62443-3-3-2013 was approved as an American National
Standard on August 13, 2013. An essentially identical version will be
published by the IEC later in 2013 as IEC 62443-3-3.
The standard may be viewed by ISA members or obtained at

New ISA Technical Report
Focuses on Procedure
Automation for Continuous Process Operations
A new ISA technical report addresses good practices regarding
procedure automation in process operations and strategies for incorporating automated procedures into industrial automation and basic process
control ystems (BPCS).
ISA–TR106.00.01-2013, Procedure Automation for Continuous
Process Operations – Models and Terminology, complements the
concepts in key ISA standards that deal with the use of procedures in
specific applications, including batch processing (ISA-88) and safety
systems (ISA-84). Many such fundamental concepts are common to all
procedures without regard to the context in which they are implemented,
but there are needs specific to continuous processes. These needs are

Chinese standards delegation
tours Wilmington Instrument
Company
On October 2, 2013, sixteen Chinese nationals from the Hubei
Standard Management and Market Access delegation toured the
Wilmington Instrument Company calibration lab and facility. The
translator was a graduate student from California State University
Long Beach. “What an experience, it went very well,” said
Wilmington’s John Bowman.
Hubei, located in central China, is a major industrial center, a
national center of trade and transportation and the location of such
gigantic hydroelectric projects as Three Gorges Dam.

addressed in the new technical report in a procedure requirements model,
procedure implementation model, and physical model as well as in
sections concerning mapping of procedures to BPCS components.
The good practices documented in the technical report were
developed to address many of the human performance limitations that can
occur during procedural operations pertaining to continuous operations.
Also described are the elements necessary to implement procedure
automation. Such procedures are less prone to significant deviations in
practice and may also improve response to disturbances.
Procedures represent the knowledge necessary to operate a system
and are critical components of continuous operations. Historically,
procedures have been executed by humans reading from a manual,
checklist document, or a static display. The new technical report
describes the concepts in which procedures are integrated into the BPCS.
The intended audience for the document includes technical and
operations managers and engineering personnel who are responsible for
the operation or automation of continuous process operations, members
of engineering departments of owner/operators, and engineering personnel
of engineering and procurement companies, automation vendors and
system integrators and other process engineering practitioners.
The technical report was developed by ISA106, Procedure Automation for Continuous Process Operations. The committee is now developing a second technical report on the work processes involved with
automating procedures that monitor and control continuous processes.
This second technical is intended to be applied to capital projects but
could also be applied to operating expenditures activities to automate
individual procedures.
The technical report may be viewed by ISA members or obtained at
www.isa.org/findstandards (select ‘106’ from the drop-down list and
scroll down). The ISA standards home page is www.isa.org/standards.

3D Instruments Introduces New Series 34
Accu-Drive Pressure Gauge
3D Instruments is please to introduce their new Series 34
Accu-Drive pressure gauge. The Series 34 represents the next
generation of Direct Drive Pressure Gauges and includes a Never
Seen Before 10 Year Warranty!
The 34 Series incorporates the 3D
Instruments signature “Direct Drive
Difference” Inconel helical bourdon tube
system. The “direct drive” concept couples
the bourdon tube directly to the shaftpointer, thereby streamlining the design and
reducing the number of moving parts from
approximately twelve down to one!!
Thirty years of industrial applications
have proven that this design is vastly
superior to the C type bourdon tube and
movement system incorporated in other
pressure gauges...especially for vibration
and pulsation!!
In many severe service applications, C
type bourdon tube pressure gauges are
6
filled with silicone to both dampen needle movement as well as
lubricate the metal movements to extend service life. Besides
adding additional cost to the price of the pressure gauge, the
liquid filled case causes other operational difficulties such as dial discoloration and potential shift of calibration.
All Series 34 Accu-Drive pressure
gauges utilize the finest materials of
construction. The bourdon tube is
constructed of Inconel, a highly elastic
material with excellent corrosion
resistance.
The wetted parts are of 316SS. The
balance of the gauge hardware is
designed to minimize corrosion associated with challenging field environments. The extremely robust Direct Drive
bourdon tube system offers outstanding
overpressure protection to 150% of full
scale on pressure ranges from vacuum
