For more than 55 years, the nuclear industry has relied on DRS Consolidated Controls to ensure safety when it matters most. As a trusted provider of premier safety and non-safety instrumentation and control systems, our network is built on a commitment to safety, a record of reliability and service, and long-standing client relationships.

In 2008 DRS Technologies, Inc. was acquired by Finmeccanica, S.p.A.. As a result of the acquisition, and in order to highlight our controls business focus and strengthen the legacy of the Consolidated ControlsTM brand name, we are now known as DRS Consolidated Controls, Inc. While our name has changed throughout the years our business focus and commitment to the commercial nuclear industry has remained unchanged.

Our Expertise

What We Do

PLμS 32 is a digital control system designed specifically for the commercial nuclear power industry. PLμS 32 provides a complete spectrum of functions including loop control, logic, analog and sequential control, and data acquisition and management. The hardware and software modularity of PLμS 32 provides flexible solutions that adapt to existing architectures and can be scaled to control a single sub-system, a complete Engineered Safety Features (ESF) system or Balance of Plant (BOP) application. PLμS 32 uses the same set of hardware and software building blocks and design procedures for all applications. PLμS 32 is based upon a fault-tolerant PERFORM Net architecture that provides redundancy for all data paths and a dedicated microprocessor for each control loop. The system can be configured to be highly distributed with Input/Output (I/O) and control functions located in the field, or highly centralized with all I/O and control functions located in one area without degradation in performance.

Scalable System Solutions

DRS Consolidated Controls manufactures a broad line of transmitters, sensors and detectors to monitor pressure, flow, level, temperature, speed and position for severe environment applications. DRS Consolidated Controls has a long history of providing Instrumentation and Control equipment for numerous applications. We have designed, qualified and manufactured components and systems for some of the most critical control applications around the world.

Sensors and transmitters are designed and qualified to operate in extremely adverse environmental conditions encountered in both primary and secondary plant applications. Our sensors and detectors are highly accurate and will operate continuously for decades in critical applications. The longer life corresponds directly to lower overall operating costs over the life of the plant through the elimination or reduction of periodic transmitter replacement caused by high temperature and radiation degradation.

System Upgrade SolutionsDRS Consolidated Controls offers a variety of solutions when a system upgrade is required and has the capabilities to re-engineer older designs to provide a form, fit, and function replacement that can be supported for decades. If a new system is desired, DRS Consolidated Controls offers solutions ranging from open-architecture PLC designs, for non-safety applications, up to our PLμS 32 safety rated distributed control system. Our engineers work side by side with our customers to ensure that the final system provided meets or exceeds all design criteria.

Obsolescence Management / Lifetime SupportDRS Consolidated Controls has a long standing tradition of supporting our legacy installations for the life of the plant and does not terminate support due to a product family upgrade. As a result, we have extensive experience in performing module redesigns for our customers to solve obsolescence issues. We offer the following obsolescence management services:

• Commercial dedication adhering to EPRI TR-106439, EPRI NP-5652, EPRI NP-6406, and NRC Generic Letters 89-02 and 91-05

• Technology refresh programs

• Re-qualification testing

• Form, fit, and function component redesign

• Legacy part redesign
