Plant Control System Sample Clauses
The Plant Control System clause defines the requirements and standards for the control systems that manage and monitor the operations of a plant or facility. It typically outlines the technical specifications, integration protocols, and performance criteria that the control system must meet, such as automation levels, safety features, and compatibility with other equipment. This clause ensures that the plant operates efficiently, safely, and reliably by setting clear expectations for the design, installation, and maintenance of its control systems, thereby minimizing operational risks and enhancing overall system performance.
Plant Control System. Plant control system to operate the plant in a safe and efficient manner including: • Hardware and software needed to automate the following processes as indicated in P&IDs • Truck loading/unloading • Tank level monitoring • Blender loading, sequencing, recirculation, heating, cooling, unloading • Reactor loading, sequencing, heating, cooling, vacuum, unloading • Finishing tank loading, sequencing, filtering, heating, cooling, unloading • Drum/bin filling for reactor area only • Transfer line pigging • Caustic process operation • Utilities operation and monitoring • Report generation of batch history, tank inventories, alarms, etc. • Software safety interlocks • 3 Remote HMI’s – 2 in new building, 1 in truck unloading • Training of two Owner personnel to maintain hardware and modify programming. • Participate in safety review of software when complete.

Plant Control System. The central plant will be controlled by a direct digital control system (DDC). The DDC control system is based on a central chilled water plant serving all customers from the central chilled water plant. The DDC control system will allow the central chilled water plant to operate in automatic mode, or allow the operator to operate selected equipment manually. The DDC control system will monitor each system for faults, provide warning alarms, and initiate shutdowns as required to protect the safety of the operating staff and to minimize damage to the equipment. The DDC control system also will collect, calculate, and store data pertaining to the energy produced or consumed at the central chilled water plant. The DDC control system will also be used to collect and store energy consumed values for billing purposes from each of the Customers receiving chilled water service.
Plant Control System. The Contractor shall ensure that the plant control system meets the applicable project specifications and is generally in accordance with ISA standards. The control system shall be a fully integrated microprocessor-based system in a functionally distributed architecture consisting of redundant processors. The control system shall be programmed to perform specific control, data acquisition, alarming, shutdown, reporting, and other operational tasks. The GE control system controls the shutdown of the CTGs and STG. The processing units shall communicate with the operator CRT consoles, input/output cabinets, and control systems work stations, combustion and steam turbine/generator control systems, and other control subsystems via redundant data highways and/or data links. Where necessary, communication with the third party control systems (such as combustion and STGs, demineralizer, etc.) shall be simplex (not redundant).
3.4.1 Plant instrumentation of sufficient accuracy shall be installed to perform Facility Performance Tests.
3.4.2 The control system shall provide analog (modulating), and digital (on/off) control and monitoring of the Facility equipment and systems. Sufficient sequence of events input points shall be provided to monitor and alarm various trip signals to support post-trip analysis.
3.4.3 The control system shall support both automatic and manual modes of operation, and shall provide the operator with real time information on equipment status and process variables via CRT displays and/or printed logs. The control system operator stations shall provide the operator with single window interface capabilities for all normal unit and plant control functions.
3.4.4 The control system shall automatically alarm, display on CRT(s), and/or record on log printer(s) out-of-limit and abnormal conditions.
3.4.5 The control system shall be a microprocessor-based system consisting of the following major components: DCS processors, power supply, communications hardware and associated cabinets. DCS processors, power supplies, and communications hardware are to be of a redundant design Input/output subsystems for digital and analog interface with field instrumentation and equipment and the associated input/output cabinets with redundant power supplies Four (4) DCS operator stations including, but not limited to CRT, mouse, keyboard, storage and hard copy devices Storage media for system and control configuration including, but not limited to graphics, report fo...
