Realy thank you ! I was confused about this because i just learned FDS for the mechanical system and this was confused for me to translate and addapt my learned to the automation system applications. Real thank you, your explanation is like sunshine at the day.
Not really, but they are related. The FDS identifies and describes the functions that the control system needs to be able to address. It does not describe the code or specifics of how it gets implemented in the system. And FDS does not describe how the process runs, or in what order. An FDS for a mixing tank would describe functions such as: liquid feed, loss-in-weight transfer, heating, agitation, recirculation, etc. An SOP is a step-by-step guide to actually creating the batch in the mixing tank, including manual operations, which raw materials to use, what connections to make, how to set up utilities, etc.
Excellent video! Thanks! I’d like to see content from you about Model-Predictive Controllers and its comparison with others Advanced Control Strategies like Fuzzy Logic or Expert Systems. Regards!
Yes. Every company may have a slightly different list of items covered by the FDD, FDS, or FRS, but they are all essentially the same, no matter what the exact title is.
Thank you for your question. As we stated in our video, a Functional Design Specification, also known as FDS, is a document that describes how a process or a control system will operate. It does not contain any highly technical detail; it describes how the proposed system will operate, how people will interact with it, and what to expect when different operational scenarios occur. Control Narrative is a unique document that is developed by the engineering company for the control system (PLC / DCS) programming. It is developed by the Instrument and Control team and reviewed by the process team. The control narrative is a critical document and shall be stamped by professional engineer in some countries or jurisdictions. In other words, the FDS is normally part of the contract, which states what the customer expects to get for his money. The control narrative is the technical design document on how it will and must be programmed to execute the customers’ expected process. Happy learning!
@@realpars Thank you for your time and the helpful information, particularly the added clarification on which party provides what, as we are negotiating a contract with the EPC to include one of these items.
Hi Stanislav, Thanks for your comment! I will pass this on to our course developers - hopefully, they can show that in future video courses. Thanks for sharing and happy learning!
No, the FDS is written for engineers to describe the software structure and modules that need to be developed to create the application. It contains variable structures, software module names, etc., that an engineer will use to create the software code. The operator manual is written for operators, and it provides step-by-step procedures for operating the system. While these two documents are different, they should be in agreement with one another.
I like how he tells the viewers to like but also telling whats a design specification xD. Have a like.
Excellent... as always, the contents are explained very well and in simple terms...keep up the good works 👍👍👍
Thanks for sharing, Prakash! Happy learning!

Real thank you, your explanation is like sunshine at the day.
You are very welcome!
Excellent!
Great content,straight to the point and easy to understant. GOOD WORK@REALPARS TEAM
Thanks a lot, we are very happy to hear that.
Great explanation! kindly make video for System Architecture Document, IO Layouts & Electrical Drawings. Thanks RealPars
Please do make a video on PLC fault routines.. That would be so kind of you... Thanks!!!
Hey!
Thanks for your comment and your suggestion. I will pass this on to our course developers!
Thanks for sharing and happy learning!
Realpars 🔥 your content is always up to the mark!
We appreciate that! Thank you!
Great video! Can you create a video explaining the difference between FDS and Control Narrative? Thanks.
Great suggestion! I will happily go ahead and pass this on to our course developers.
Thank you for sharing
Many thanks to your efforts!!!
Is the FDS similar to SOP?
Not really, but they are related. The FDS identifies and describes the functions that the control system needs to be able to address. It does not describe the code or specifics of how it gets implemented in the system. And FDS does not describe how the process runs, or in what order.

. Awesome... I just lovedddddd it... May be you can continue the related videos as a series with some continuity..
Thanks for your support and feedback!
Excellent and a good reference
Thank you!

Hi Felipe,
Thanks for the topic suggestion, I will definitely go ahead and forward this to our creator team.
Happy learning!
Nice explanation
Thank you, Pankaj!
Really great way to explain, liked it.
Happy to hear that, Pankaj!
such a great tutorial, thanks
Glad it was helpful!
@@realpars yep helped me with an interview, and i used it a hell lot for a buzzword lol
Great content, I'm from Vietnam and I expect the next benefit videos
Amazing! Happy learning!
Great video . Excellent content. Thank you very much.
You are very welcome!
Thanks
You're welcome!
Great !
Suggestions: logic diagram .
Thanks
Thanks for the topic suggestion, I will definitely go ahead and forward this to our creator team. Happy learning!
Which software you are using to make the video
Hi Ayaz,
Thanks for your comment!
I am actually not sure about this as this is done by our graphic and animation department.
Good to watch and learn
Happy learning, Kateeb!
Incredible!
Thank you!
Functional Design Document (FDD) and FDS are the same thing? Thank you
Yes. Every company may have a slightly different list of items covered by the FDD, FDS, or FRS, but they are all essentially the same, no matter what the exact title is.
@@realpars And also the BRD is the same thing? Thank you so much
What is the difference between an FDS and PCN (plant control narrative)? Thank you.
Thank you for your question. As we stated in our video, a Functional Design Specification, also known as FDS, is a document that describes how a process or a control system will operate. It does not contain any highly technical detail; it describes how the proposed system will operate, how people will interact with it, and what to expect when different operational scenarios occur.

Could you show how does FDS look like?
Hi Stanislav,
Thanks for your comment! I will pass this on to our course developers - hopefully, they can show that in future video courses.
Thanks for sharing and happy learning!
Please make a vidio on" basic plc program to control 5/3 solenoid valve cylinders with reed switches, stop &start push buttons for beginners"""
Hey!
Thanks for your comment and your suggestion. I will pass this on to our course developers!
Thanks for sharing and happy learning!
@@realpars waiting for ur next vidio
very good video
Thank you, Muhammad!
But can i assume the Operational Manual is FDS?
No, the FDS is written for engineers to describe the software structure and modules that need to be developed to create the application. It contains variable structures, software module names, etc., that an engineer will use to create the software code. The operator manual is written for operators, and it provides step-by-step procedures for operating the system. While these two documents are different, they should be in agreement with one another.
I wish there exist a software that automatically creates this document from inputs from an excel sheet.
Like before watching the video 😍
