control room. The existing control of the coal yard utilizes Modicon
Quantum PLC hardware. In Phase 1 of the Project, PTS Project Scope
included upgrading the existing Operator Interface that was a
hard-wired BTG style with hand-switches and indicating lights. The
Operator Interface was replaced with 3 Intellution Dynamic
workstations in each control room. Additional Modicon Quantum
hardware was added to incorporate the new automation. The 2 control
rooms were linked via RF Spread Spectrum radio utilizing Ethernet
communications technology for high-speed data transfer. Phase 2 of
