This will involve, in part, the replacement of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), network switches, electrical relays, nodal hardware, servers, Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs), software, and a minor renovation of Building #2025 which is the Utility Control Center (UCC) for the installation. Project scope will also include the installation of new fiber optic cabling running through both existing duct banks and new concrete encased duct banks in select areas. Existing serial connections will be upgraded to ethernet and will be connected to the upgraded SCADA network via either fiber or ethernet radio link. Outdated electromechanical relays will be replaced with new microprocessor-based relays located in existing substations and other key buildings throughout the base. At project completion, the upgraded SCADA system will be standardized to run on the latest stable version of iFix software, allowing the base to efficiently monitor and control their thermal, water, and electric utility operations, resulting in increased mission readiness and emergency response capability.
