MSSS (Magnox Swarf Storage Silo) Plant Control System Offline Feasibility Rig

Supply and deliver an offline test rig replica of the online MSSS (Magnox Swarf Storage Silo)/ABB control system installed in MSSS. The rig will provide the equipment needed to carry out testing to ensure the continued support of the existing control system within MSSS.

Supply and deliver an offline test rig replica of the existing online MSSS/ABB DAMS PES system installed in MSSS. The offline engineering system shall be based on 800xA System Version 6.1.1.1 which is a long time support version (LTS).

Scope of Supply Summary: 1. Virtual Server Host 2. Thin Client 3. New suitable AC800M Controller and Ethernet IO interface cards 4. Cabinet 5. All the necessary software and Licences 6. System Engineering 7. Testing

The test rig will enable the existing bespoke control systems applications responsible for running and monitoring of systems and processes within MSSS to be updated offline to the latest supported version of the ABB software which is required as the existing system is now obsolete and no longer supported - further, elements of the hardware are now obsolete and require the newer version of 800xA (6.1) software to operate. The rig will provide the equipment needed to carry out necessary testing to ensure the continued support and operation of the control system within MSSS.
