TAI's Process
Controls / Instrumentation Division is a full service group
with the capability to perform an extensive array of consulting,
study, design, and programming services. We are a leader in
providing novel process control solutions to demanding applications.
TAI provides expert consulting at the beginning stages of
a project when critical decisions are made to assure that
the control systems are reliable, robust, and cost effective.
TAI then provides a strong design effort to facilitate the
installation. This stage typically includes equipment selection/specificaiton,
instrumentation design, programming, HMI, and construction
documents. Finally TAI provides the field services necessary
during construction, commissioning, and start-up to assure
that each control system operates properly, effectively, and
within the project's schedule. This approach results in quality
services that satisfy each client's needs.
A sample of systems and equipment with which TAI has expertise
follows:
PLC Control Systems:
- Allen Bradley
- Siemens
- Modicon/Schneider Electric
- GE Fanuc
- Square D
DCS Control Systems:
- Moor (Siemens)
- ABB/Bailey
- Honeywell
- FoxBoro
- Emerson Process Mgmt (Fisher)
Human Machine Interface (HMI):
- PLC/DCS manufacturer specific HMI
- Wonderware
- Intellution
For clients regulated by the FDA, TAI also provides expertise
in each phase of the GAMP (Good Automated Manufacturing Practice)
life cycle for process controls including:
- Functional Requirement
- Hardware/Software Specification (Detailed Design Specification)
- Modular Sotware Configuration
- Site Acceptance Testing
- IQ & OQ Protocol Development and Implementation
- Change Management
- Electronic Signatures & Records (21 CFR Part 11)
From simple systems to complex, old technologies to new,
TAI has the know-how to make our clients' process control
and instrumentation systems work reliably and effectively.
TAI's I&C Engineers design, integrate, and implement
control systems for a multitude of industries. The fully integrated
systems are capable of providing full functioning operator
interface graphic displays at multiple plant floor locations,
optimize system performance, generate historical collection
of data, provide greater accessibility of plant floor data
supervisory systems, and incorporate flexiblity to allow for
hardware and software enhancements in the future. TAI engineers
have designed and implemented large and small scale control
systems for new plant processes, as well as retrofits to existing
process and machine controls. Our engineers manage all facets
involved in the implementation and commissioning of PLC and
DCS controlled systems, including the following specific areas
of I & C Engineering expertise:
- Process Theory and Control System Design
- P & ID Development
- Instrumentation Sizing, Specification and Selection
- PLC / DCS Hardware Design and Selection
- Construction Drawings and Bid Package Development
- Electrical, Instrumentation, and Process
- Functional Spec Development
- PLC / DCS Programming
- Human-Machine Interface Development
- PLC / HMI / plant-wide network
- Communication Architecture Design
- PLC Control Panel Design
- I/O Wiring Diagrams
- Loop Drawings
- Motor Control Diagrams
- Logic Diagrams
- Interlock Documentation
- Construction Management and Startup Commissioning
- PLC / HMI / General I & C Engineering Support
TAI's Controls and Instrumentation engineers specialize in
all facets of control system design and implementation. TAI's
I & C project managers are experienced in engineering
control systems involving a wide range of I/O devices, just
a few I/O points to several thousand I/O points. The following
pages spotlight samples of the projects that TAI's I &
C engineers have managed and engineered over the past several
years.
