  3. Conductors
  4. Security Control System

1.3 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION: 

  1. Furnish and install a touch screen control station to act as the operator interface between corrections officers and the PLC-based control electronics. Develop a touch screen applications program, user-definable database, and a series of custom screen graphics to interface with the PLC system.
  2. The complete system shall achieve its response time, flexibility, reliability, and security through a combination of software, file management, and specific system architecture requirements. Minimum hardware standards are specified herein, but faster hardware and/or software shall be installed at no additional cost, if required to meet the system performance requirements.
  3. Use a combination of graphics accelerator, fast CPU, RAM caching, file management, and fast data communications to achieve desired system response.
  4. Utilize dedicated, custom applications software specifically written and optimized for use as a security touch screen control system and designed to interface with drivers and subroutines.

1.4 SYSTEM PERFORMANCE:

  1. Response Time:
  1. Control: The maximum time lag between touching any control icon and activation of its associated control function (i.e., door unlock, intercom/CCTV select, etc.) shall not exceed 250 milliseconds, which represents the speed at which control activation begins and does not include the electro-mechanical response time of the device (i.e., additional time may be taken by the device in order to operate).
  2. Indication/Alarm: The maximum time lag between any input event (i.e., call request, door position alarm, etc.) and the state change of its associated icon shall not exceed 250 milliseconds.
  3. Screen Changes: The time lag required to leave one touch screen floor plan display and generate another screen shall not exceed 500 milliseconds.
  4. Recovery Time: In the event of a major system fault, the system must recover (reboot) within 45 seconds of the initial fault event.
  5. Restoration Time: In the event of a system fault due to major data loss or data file corruption, the system must be capable of complete restoration through backup floppy disk or CD ROM within 20 minutes of the fault event.
  • Flexibility and Reliability:
    1. Future Upgrades: Support migration from the original application operating environment to continuing upgrades of those operating environments. Have software development support to provide these future upgrades at reasonable cost to the Owner.
    2. Self-Diagnostics: Diagnostic LED’s and trouble outputs I/O’s shall be individually displayed with associated message as trouble indications at the touch screen control station.

1.5 OPERATIONAL FEATURES: 

  1. Screen View: The screen view will consist of the graphics display. In general it will not change as the graphic pages change from one screen to the next.
  2. Graphic Maps: The graphic maps on each touch screen will generally consist of floor plans that identify the location and status of the different monitored and controlled devices with icon displays.
  3. Map: The facility site map will be displayed on a single screen. The building and fence line will be shown. The building will be color coded to indicate the status of the building. Provide complete system wiring and programming from PLC termination points.
    1. Duress Alarm Annunciation: When the duress alarm is activated in a building, the building will flash blue and a tone will sound. When the alarm is acknowledged the building will become solid blue and the tone will silence. Pressing the reset icon clears the alarm and the building will return to the normal color.
  4. Event Selection:
    1. Direct Selection Method: From the displayed graphics, the operator may directly select the event by touching the active icon.
    2. No Event Method: To establish communications directly with a non-active icon such as a door or cell, or to select a camera, the operator may touch the icon directly from the appropriate graphic map.
  5. Security:
    1. Access to the touch screen control stations shall be password protected and all operators shall log onto the system using a unique, personal identification number (PIN). A combination of the correct PIN and password shall be required in order to access the system administration level at which PIN’s and PIN rights are assigned. Multiple levels of password protection shall be available.
    2. Access to all other administrative functions such as PLC programming and LAN management shall be password protected at multiple security levels for security.
    3. Pressing the “Log Off” icon will secure the touch screen from unauthorized use and require a PIN number to log back on.
  6. Touch Screen Sharing Functions:
    1. When activated, primary and secondary touch screens will share an Events Queue and may respond to action requests equally on a first-come, first-serve basis. An event icon selected by a shared touch screen will be displayed in a unique color to show that the function is busy.

1.6 SCREEN APPEARANCE: 

  1. Screen Design: Design each screen to consist of only two parts: a menu bar on the right and a graphic map on the left. Place both elements on top of a white background.
  2. Map Design: Provide a plan view of the controlled area showing walls with a 50% gray scale laid over a 10% gray scale background. Use room labels and other label nomenclature most meaningful to the user, as opposed to architectural room numbers or other design-related nomenclature.
  3. Icon Designs and State Cues: Use icon designs that will be intuitive to the user, such as a door swings for door controls and telephones for telephone cut off. Provide both visual (for color blind) users and color cues to represent state changes. For example, the following cues apply to cell or movement door with intercom and call button:
STATE POSITION ICON COLOR
Open Raised Open Door Swing Red w/Gray Button
Closed Raised Closed Door Swing Green w/Gray Button
Unanswered Call Raised Flashing Yellow-Button
Selected Door Sunk Solid Yellow-Button

1.7 UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER SUPPLIES (UPS)

  1. Provide UPS back up for all touch screen CPU’s, CRT’s and PLC CPU’s.
  2. Size UPS for 30 minutes operation or until the generator for power backup starts.

1.8 PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROL (PLC) SYSTEM 

  1. Configure the number of processor sites and remote I/O drops to obtain one-way response time (remote I/O update time plus scan time) of 50 milliseconds or better. Also configure the number of processors and processor sites to obtain 20% unused memory using the size PLCs specified herein.

1.9 SUBMITTALS: 

  1. Theory of Operation:
    1. Submit full size, color state diagrams for each icon segment. Submit 14 calendar days prior to review meeting.
  2. Preliminary Screen Development:
    1. Submit full size, color graphic screen layouts. Indicate or show all pop up screen locations. Submit 14 calendar days prior to Owner Workshop and Demonstration.
  3. Licenses
    1. Transfer all software licenses to Owner at the completion of the project. Transfer shall include customer support rights.
    2. Fully comply with all license agreements for the installed software. Install sufficient quantities of each software program so that the Owner fully meets the intent of the publisher’s site license agreement. When in doubt, contact the publisher for an interpretation and comply with that interpretation.
  4. Record Documents
    1. Prepare and submit the licenses for all software installed on the system. Compile a list giving each program name, its installed version number, the number of copies installed, the serial number of each copy, the publisher’s name and address, and the publisher’s customer support telephone number.
