Award criteria: The most economic tender

Technical requirements: The automatic safety shut down system (ASM) and the manual switching panel (PSM) are a PLC system with two functions (ASM-function and PSM-function, but only one can be active command the process on the test bench) on demand. The DLR has already in use the S7-300 and S7-400 systems. For various reasons (programming knowledge of the DLR team, spare part on stock, preventive and curative maintenance) the expected solution should respect this information but it's not a problem if the bidder present a system witch fulfils all requirements. The order defines three packages:
The volume of this package depends on the offered system. This package will be defined after decision. The scope of subject is:
Organisation, installation and management of the test leader panel (valve positions displaying, commanding and switching from this panel)
For the factory acceptance and the onsite acceptance at the DLR we expect a full operational software environment (operating system) and a basic-software (test sequences) for performing the functional tests. Software demo versions for the operating system and the libraries are not acceptable.
Switching and setting of valves (DO and AO commanding) based on a time scale with a resolution of 1ms.
The software environment should be a state of art product. The DLR-team wants and has to adapt the ASM-sequences for the coming campaign on the test bench.
In one of the next steps — after the acceptance — the DLR has to create sequences for the performing of the safety shut down. This subject must be discussed with the customer and the owner of the product under test. These specifications and procedure instructions are not yet available. For this reason we need the costs in detail per day for programming at the work shop and at the DLR.
