· Home screen will be upgraded to provide an aerial picture of the facility with locations of all devices with live reading of sensors and real time values including status (off/on)

· Main alarm screen will be relocated from the existing location in the hatchery building shop/garage into the hatchery building break room/common area.

· Upon completion of the project, provide training to hatchery staff and personnel on the use, modify, program, and respond. Training shall be in person and provide an operational manual. All training shall be videotaped.

· Programming shall include historical trending data; this is a specialized trending display that shows when any process value is selected, and shortcut buttons are created for various time ranges.

· New HMI software package needs to be provided and configured to work with the existing PLC and alarms so a graphical interface with live valves can be created.

· The USFWS has used Rockwell’s FactoryTalk View for similar facilities, but contractor may propose alternative or equal products.

Please note the hatchery does not currently have an HMI software package so the contractor will need to supply, install, and configure a new HMI software.
