The National Research Council (NRC) of Canada has a requirement
for the replacement of key components in the Tow Tank and Ice
Tank Carriage Control Systems. The Computer Control sub-system
of both carriages requires replacement of obsolete and
unsupported boards. The Computer Control sub-system is composed
of a interlinked set of components. The user interface runs on
the Carriage Operations Computer, a PC running Windows XP; the
Safety and Supervisory System runs on an Omron PLC system; and
the Motor Control System running the drive motors uses a second
specialized SAFire motor control PLC system from Brock
Solutions. The changes/upgrades in this project consist of
replacing certain specified hardware and software components
within an existing, working system. See Annex "A" Statement of
Work for a detailed description of the proposed procurement.
