6. As a standard part of its design and execution strategy, GGS thoroughly investigates documents and prioritizes the existing
control system. Where practical and allowable, GGS electronically captures all pertinent data points from the existing control
system. This data when combined with the legacy control software/configuration evaluations allow our engineering team to
capture important customer IP and reduces the tuning requirements during commissioning. Our engineering team will not
perform a conversion of the existing systems into the PLC platforms, as this will create clumsy and difficult to understand
software. Instead, our engineering team will transport the IP from the legacy system into the new platform and maximize
the new technology thereby creating a clean, well-documented, and maintainable solution. All configuration and software
are provided in an open architecture manner whereby the customer or its technical experts may understand, maintain, and
support. GGS is providing 100% of the source documents and drawings, procedures, manuals and configuration documents.
PLC software shall conform to standards already developed and in service in other areas of the mill. This approach provides
guaranteed performance using already proven PLC software.
MILL Control: Automatic Gauge Control, Master Speed Control, Interstand Tension Control,
Roll Bending Control, Mill Sequencing, Data logging IBA, Material tracking, Production Reporting,
System diagnostics, HMI/SCADA screens, Scope and Configuration

7. “The winning concept is the ability to integrate the expertise
and knowledge provided by different sources into an efficient solution”.
The GGS Project Manager does just that as your primary commercial and technical contact. Within GGS, the Project Manager
is responsible for the company’s total performance on the project. The objective of the Project Manager is to organize and
coordinate the resources and contributors involved to achieve successful, timely, implementation of the contract to the
customer and user’s satisfaction in accordance with the product/system specifications and contractual commitments.
Responsibilities extend from order through acceptance and commercial completion. Specific responsibilities include:
Conduct project kickoff, follow up, and wrap up meetings.
Prepare, coordinate, maintain, and monitor project plans and
schedules to meet documentation, shipment, and installation
commitments.
Interprets commitments, specifications, terms, and conditions
of sale.
Coordinate with subcontractors, vendors, partners, and other
outside interfaces.
Attend requisition/site customer meetings; take and distribute
minutes, as required by contract.
Monitor project staffing and coordinate training.
Facilitate resolution of technical or commercial issues.
Negotiate and control changes. Coordinate pricing and timing
for implementation.
Support site manager, provide necessary commercial direction
Review project status and prepare regular management
progress reports.

8. Primary customer interface for communications and
coordination of site-related issues, including site-factory
liaison, warranty administration, planning, technical
questions, extra work, and service billing questions and/
or approvals.
Develop and maintain the site work plan, attend
scheduling meetings, interface with customer’s
organization to coordinate site activities to minimize
interference, manage the startup plan to address
customer priorities of production and quality
Manage and maintain the final acceptance punch list, and
provide required commissioning documentation for final
acceptance.

9. Factory System Test
Our engineering staff ensures the electrical system equipment will be factory tested prior to shipment to the installation site.
This factory testing will assure correctness of design and manufacture, and readiness for installation and operation.
All hardware connections will be fully tested for inputs, the appropriate voltage levels or signals will be applied to the final
location – such as terminal block or pushbutton – and the input will be validated in the PLC I/O image table. For outputs, the
appropriate address will be forced on in the PLC I/O image table, and the voltage level will be validated at the final location.
PLC code testing will be performed using simulation software. Inputs will be programmed per their anticipated functionality
based on the PLC outputs.
All communications will be wired and tested. Each device will be validated for communications to all other systems that are
required. For redundancy validation, the device level Ethernet ring will be interrupted on one side and drive/plc functionality
validated. Once the disruption test is validated, the ring will be restored, and drive/plc functionality validated. During each
step of the testing process, GGS will validate that the correct information is displayed onto the HMI and Level 2 systems.
Additionally, GGS will demonstrate proper HMI driver configuration and completeness. Deficiencies in the new systems
identified during the FAT testing period shall be corrected before the system is shipped to the installation site.
We verify wiring from device to I/O panel or control for continuity, polarity, and operational sense. Verify that wiring conforms to
proper level routing and shielding practices, interfaces are correctly connected, and devices are properly located and oriented
per specification and functional requirements. Checks will include the following:
Communications testing and
diagnostics.
Process References and Calibration
Solenoid, proportional valves, servo
valves, cam, proximity, limit switches,
overspeed switches.
Analog/digital tachometers and
resolvers.
Load cells, position transducers,
pressure transducers, gages, and
subsystems by others
Manual Operations and Automatic
Operations and Sequencing.
GGS recommends that customer
personnel participate in the
factory testing of their equipment.
Customer personnel who are sent to
factory for customer training and/or
design participation are welcome to
participate in the factory testing of
their equipment.

10. Start-Up Engineering Services
The start-up period begins after the equipment is completely installed, cabled/bussed, wired, and ready for energizing. During
this phase, the equipment is systematically checked and adjusted to operate in its electro-mechanical integrated context.
Operating sequences are checked, sensor I/O polarities and scaling are established, permissive and fault sequences are set,
mechanical operations tested, regulators tuned, and individual drive performances are verified. Functions involving integrated
and coordinated operation are exercised and proven without product and/or in a monitor/simulation mode. The last step in
startup is a cold run without product to synchronize speeds, verify sequencing and communications, and confirm reference
distribution and execution.
GGS has extensive experience upgrading large M-G sets
along with building custom DC Drives thru 16,000 HP,
with automatic load sharing and AC Drives both LV
& MV in high power ratings
