Description

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS FOR PLC INSTALLATION 1. Is it acceptable to modify the E-Stop so the PLC remains powered while the outputs are disabled? The intent is to stop all the incinerator functions when the E-Stop is pushed. The PLC could remained powered if all functions are maintained stopped. 2. Is it the intent of the contract to replace the three (3) Temperature Controllers? Yes. I would like this a function of the PLC. 3. Is it the intent of the contract to replace the single Pressure Controller? No. This could remain. 4. Is it the intent of the contract to replace the single Draft Controller? No. This could remain. 5. Is it the intent of the contract to replace the six (6) Burner Controllers? No. 6. Is a printed copy of the existing PLC relay logic available? This is a propriotory protocol program. There are 300+ pages of written logic. If this is necessary, copy of the logic will be provided at time of site visit on Sept. 1, 2005. 7. Do sensors exist to determine the weight of the load or is operator input of the load required? If a sensor exists, please provide details on interface. Yes there are sensors that go to a recorder located in Northern Clean Cart Room of Building 5. 8. What initiates the activation of the Fire Suppression and Chemical Decontamination systems? Is this action from the touch screen or external pushbuttons? External Pushbuttons 9. Does conduit exist to run wires from the PLC to the Operator Interfaces? Conduit is in place now. Some conduit and wiring might be necessary from the PLC to the Hydraulic Pump Assembly in lower machine room. 10. Does conduit exist to run wires from the PLC to the Remote Computer? No. Conduit and raceway would need to be installed from PLC to Upper Mechanical Room of Building 5 for wiring to Ethernet Connections in Upper Mechanical Room. Wiring exists from Upper Mechanical Room to Boiler Plant Ethernet Connection.
