The choice of hardware is often down to the customer who
may have an installed base of a particular manufacturer. TCL
have system integrator status with a number of hardware
manufacturers, allowing us to supply hardware at competitive
rates.
System design
Most systems are installed in a retrofit environment so the layout
of plant and existing inputs and outputs is fixed.
I/O modules are specified to handle plant devices and
environment. The I/O can be distributed around the plant or
located centrally. This would depend upon the layout of the plant
and cabling.
Software functionality is defined by functional design specifications
which are produced by TCL. These are generally compiled using
TCL expertise. However there may be a client influence on the
design where there are key local unique requirements.
SCADA systems
A control system requires some form of human machine
interface. This may be a local HMI or a fully integrated centralised
SCADA system.
Manufacture and test
All manufacturing and testing is carried out under our
ISO 9001:2008 approved quality system.
Systems are manufactured at the TCL works or at facilities nearer
to the clients plant. We have manufactured a number of systems
at overseas locations employing local labour working under TCL
QA programmes.
Testing is carried out against the design specifications and will
typically include:
Hardware wiring tests•
Software I/O tests•
Software functional tests•
Site installation and commissioning
TCL have an experienced team of site engineers who are available
to install and commission all systems supplied by TCL.
The design and testing of the system will ensure that outage times
are kept to a minimum.

after sales support of all installed system. This team are available
to carry out:
Telephone support•
24/7 callout and fault finding•

ISO 9001:2008•
TickIT Guide Issue 5 software production•
CSA Z299.2-85 quality control developed for CANDU plant.•
The system software is produced using rigorous quality control
procedures developed during TCL’s experience with developing
software for nuclear power plants.
