Description

Toyon Research proposes to develop a Centralized Control System for Environmental Chambers by using Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware and software components, and open industrial protocols for data communications that comply with Army cyber requirements. The COTS components include best-in-class Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems, Human Machine Interfaces (HMI), Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC), and specialized integration devices. The resulting control system will provide an operator interface that allows centralized, remote access to each environmental chamber controller. In Phase I, the work plan will survey one ATEC facility in detail and develop a cost-effective solution that considers a procurable combination of COTS and custom integration components, and/or potentially replacing existing controllers.
