Rosatom ordered industrial controllers for 275 million rubles

At the end of February 2023, it became known that Rosatom signed a contract with the Research Institute of System Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences (NIISI RAS) for the implementation of development work (ROC) to develop a line of universal industrial controllers on a domestic electronic component base (ECB). The transaction cost is 275 million rubles, while the initial tender price was at the level of 284.9 million rubles.

The fact that a large project of Rosatom to create a line of industrial controllers went to NIISI RAS, reports CNews with reference to the materials of the public procurement website. It follows from them that the winner of the competition will have to analyze the technical and design requirements for the industrial controller, as well as select and evaluate the active ECB used as the core of the architectural solution of the hardware platform of the industrial controller.

Rosatom will pay 275 million rubles for the development of universal industrial controllers

Also, according to the terms of the contract, NIISI RAS will have to determine serially produced and available integrated circuits of the first or second level on the Russian market.

For second-level integrated circuits, their manufacturers must have rights to design documentation, including used complex-functional units that are not the subject of their own development. Such documentation should allow the enterprise to produce products for at least five years. In addition, the company must design, develop and test integrated circuits in Russia.

For integrated circuits of the first level, it is not allowed to use in their design and development of ready-made circuitry solutions of foreign production. Also, such microcircuits cannot be produced abroad. However, if there are no domestic microcircuits on the Russian market, and the level of localization of their production is not confirmed, it is permissible to use imported integrated circuits to create controllers, the publication points out, referring to the technical assignment for ROC.^[1]
