Firefighting Package Logic Control

Hi all,

We have a new project to install new Firefighting package in the tank yard. The standard supply firefighting package comes with NFPA 20 controller (for fire fighting pump). On the package skid, there are three pumps, several on-off valves, and other instrumentations for local package use. The Local control panel with PLC, local buttons and indication is not supplied by default. In case of fire, the package will have to follow a valve opening sequences depending of what type of fire happens in the tank yard. The distance from the package location to the control room is approximately 1.5 to 2 Km.

My question is what is the best option, between installing LCP inside package skid and takes all the statuses into the Control Room, or handle the logic of package operation within the Control Room (either in a dedicated ESD or F&G logic solver), and what is the underlying basis/standard of the judgement?

Thank you in advance.
