- Description
- The Mission and Installation Contracting Command (MICC), Dugway Proving Ground (DPG) is seeking sources that can provide a new control system for a vibration control chamber. Background: Dugway Proving Ground (DPG) has an environmental conditioning chamber that is used to condition test items during vibration testing. The vibration system is located in the vibration Lab building 3133. The vibration chamber controller Human Interface (HMI) is located in the vibration control room of building 3131. The controller for the vibration chamber is over 20 years old. The life cycle of most controllers is 5 to 6 years. The existing controller is an analog system and is out dated. Over the past few years DPG has upgraded most of its chamber controllers with the Field-point 2220 controller and compact Field-point I/O modules. All are operated with National Instruments Lab View utilizing execution codes developed and proven by Mallory Engineering, Inc. Description of Service/Supplies: The contractor shall provide a new control system for the vibration environmental chamber. The new controller to be installed shall be the same type as installed in the other environmental chambers at DPG. The controller is a National Instruments Filed-point 2220 controller and compact Field-point I/O modules. The new controller shall have a remote access capable and will be compatible with the Central Data Acquisition Control Center (CDACC) software on the central chamber system. The new controller shall provide three Human Machine Interface points to allow operators full capability from the vibration control room, vibration chamber equipment module, and the vibration control trailer. Although the National Instruments Field-point is the physical hardware that is used to control the vibration environmental chamber, it is the proprietary chamber and data logging software which is used to make the physical controller work and provides the human interface required to control the vibration environmental chamber. The control and data logging software in use at DPG was developed by Mallory Engineering, Inc. using National Instrument's Lab View and is proprietary. General: The contractor shall provide all tools, materials, equipment, and labor required to perform the required task listed in this Statement of Work (SOW). The scope of work is as follows: 1.The contractor shall operate the vibration chamber and verify that all equipment and subsystems are operational and report the results to the COR prior to conducting any other operations of this tasking. 2.Upon completion and verification of system operational status the contractor will remove the existing chamber controller, failsafe controller, datalogger, and recorder from the vibration chamber. 3.The contractor will provide the Field-point 2220 controller and compact Field-point I/O modules as required to controlled all systems, and subsystems of the vibration chamber, and install the stated controller in the vibration chamber. 4.The contractor will provide and install a new Temperature Failsafe controller. 5.The contractor will interface the new Field-point 2220 and I/O modules with existing vibration chamber wiring. 6.The contractor will replace the panel face, provide and install a 17-inch LCD HMI in to the existing 19-inch rack located in the vibration control room of building 3131, and interface the 17-inch LCD with the new vibration chamber controller. 7.The contractor will replace the panel face, provide and install a 15-inch LCD HMI in to the existing equipment module control console of the vibration chamber, and interface the 15-inch LCD with the new vibration chamber controller. 8.The contractor will replace the panel face, provide and install a 15-inch LCD HMI in to the existing 19-inch rack located in the vibration control trailer, and interface the 15-inch LCD with the new vibration chamber controller. The vibration control trailer is between 250 to 300 feet from the vibration chamber control module. 9.Provide and install Suction, Discharge and Oil pressure transducers on all three refrigeration systems and interface with the Field-point 2220 and I/O modules as required. 10.Provide and install Suction and Discharge temperature probes on all three refrigeration systems and interface with the Field-point 2220 and I/O modules as required. 11.Provide and install current transducers on the circulation fan, air heater, boiler, dehumidifier, air cooled condenser, and all three refrigeration compressors, and interface with the Field-point 2220 and I/O modules as required. 12.Interface the Field-point 2220 and I/O modules with the vibration chamber deluge system. 13.Operate the new controller and verify that systems and installed items function as required. This is to be verified by the end user and COR. 14.Provide up to 8 hours of operator / maintenance training. 15.Provide 2 printed copies of the revised schematics, and 1 digital copy. 16.Provide a back up copy of the as deployed control application. 17.Provide a standard warranty on all new components. 18.Contractor will ensure compliance with annual requirements for contractor data input into the Contractor Manpower Reporting System (https://cmra.army.mil.)
