PLµS 32™ DISTRIBUTED CONTROL SYSTEM The DRS Consolidated Controls PLμS 32™ Distributed Control System provides a complete spectrum of functions for Class 1E and non 1E safety systems including loop control, logic, analog and sequential control, and data acquisition and management. DRS PLμS 32™ distributed control systems have logged over a million hours of safety critical plant operations above and beyond the 500,000,000 hours logged by prior Consolidated Controls systems. The highly modular PLμS 32™ architecture provides solutions ranging from single plant subsystem control to complete Balance of Plant (BOP) applications. PLμS 32™ is based upon a fault-tolerant architecture featuring PERFORM Net™ that provides redundancy for all data paths and a dedicated microprocessor for each control loop. The system can be configured to be highly distributed with I/O and control functions located in the field, or highly centralized with all I/O and control functions located in one area without degradation in performance. The PLμS 32™ system provides operator interfaces ranging from traditional push buttons, indicators, and auto/manual stations to a state of the art safety related Video Display Unit (VDU) providing select and confirm touch screen control for all plant operations. Designed for the most demanding seismic and environmental conditions and built with precise redundant and deterministic processing and communications, PLμS 32™ delivers demonstrated reliability suited for all critical control systems.
