Following these tests, the upgrade was verified to SIL 3 and successfully implemented onsite by multiple contractors in a single night time shift.
The facility was used recently to test and evaluate a system upgrade and the facility was connected via VPN to other system contractors in Paris, such that the facility was connected to another simulator in order to carry out a 100% interface test before being implemented onsite. This is not possible with a live only system so the facility doubles as a maintenance and development platform where system defects or system improvements can be tested and evaluated before being implemented on the live system.
The Ventilation control system is rated to SIL 3 in accordance with BSEN 61508 and therefore any system maintenance or system improvements must be both fully validated and the change control process verified against these SIL requirements. Inject System Faults such as Fan and Damper Failures.A variety of simulators are used to allow automated sequences to run as if it were a live plant. The facility is primarily used to provide Network Rail staff with in-house training on a “Virtual Live” system where pre-determined incident scenarios can be simulated, and operator response tested, ensuring the look and feel of the training system is the same as the live system.
In-house developed custom simulation software provides the I/O field response, which along with the custom interface software allows for full simulation of the Route Control Centre (RCC) System to provide the SCADA with Train Track position and Train Berth ID’s The system includes the following systems: This is currently maintained by Network Rail as a part of their contract to operate and maintain the line until 2025.The training system has been design to be a fully working “mock-up” of the existing control system including Hardwired Backup Control Panels, Redundant PLCs, SCADA Servers, Client PCs and utilises both physical and virtual hardware to accurately replicate the on-site installed system and conditions. It does not store any personal data.Morson Projects’ Ematics division were appointed to design and build a maintenance and staff training facility for Network Rail, utilising a purpose-built ‘Virtual Live’ training system to simulate the existing High Speed 1 (HS1) Ventilation Control System.
