History
1954 Establishment of our Company. In that
period main direction of activities was the
development and manufacturing of professional
radio and television equipment.
1995 RPC Radiy has started serial
manufacturing and supply of IC systems for
Nuclear power plants. FPGA-architecture was
applied for the first time in Ukraine to realize
standard functions of blocks. Totally to
Ukrainian NPPs were supplied 15 complexes of
Control safety system of generation I which
contain more than 50 000 of gate arrays.
2000 RPC Radiy has started the development of
completely new generation of Digital
Instrumentation and Control Systems
(Instrumentation and Control platform Radiy)
with application of FPGA of leading world-known
manufacturers.

History
2004 Equipment of reactor control and
protection systems manufactured by RPC Radiy
was commissioned at new Ukrainian power units of
Rovno NPP (power unit No. 4) and Khmelnitsky NPP
(power unit No. 2) which were evaluated by
international experts as the most safe in the
world.
2005-2008  Accomplishing of modernization of
control safety systems and safety-critical
systems almost at all power units of Ukraine
basing on the equipment of RPC Radiy. Within
this period we have manufactured, assembled and
commissioned more that 30 Digital Instrumentation
and Control Systems of different designation at
the facilities of power engineering of Ukraine.
2007 Supply of equipment of reactor control and
protection system, and also supply of automated
reactor power regulation system under TACIS
program to the power unit No. 1 of Khmelnitsky
NPP.
2008  Started the modernization process of
Control safety systems at power units No. 5 and
No. 6 of Kozloduy NPP, Bulgaria.

Instrumentation and Control Platform Radiy
Digital Instrumentation and Control Systems are
developed on the basis of Instrumentation and
Control Platform Radiy in one design and on
elemental base of new generation with
implementation of Field Programmable Gate Arrays
(FPGA) from leading foreign manufacturers.
10
Instrumentation and Control Platform Radiy
Instrumentation and Control Platform Radiy
includes hardware and software levels. Software
level represents the set of verified software
components which realize the following functions

• Communication between composite parts of Digital
  Instrumentation and Control Systems
• Diagnostics of hardware and links of Digital
  Instrumentation and Control Systems
• Representation and archiving of technological
  and diagnostics information.

11
Instrumentation and Control Platform Radiy
Hardware level of Instrumentation and Control
Platform Radiy is realized on the basis of
functional blocks and modules designed for
performing of the following functions

• Receipt and processing of input digital and
  analogue signals from primary sensors and
  adjacent systems
• Forming of output discrete, analogue and digital
  signals in accordance with pre-set control
  algorithms
• Actuators control
• Communication functions
• Diagnostics functions
• Provision of power supply of primary sensors
• Auxiliary functions.

12
Instrumentation and Control Platform Radiy
Instrumentation and Control Platform Radiy is
based on FPGA-technology.
Advantages of FPGA-technology

• Control and other safety-critical function are
  realized on the principle of hard logic without
  software
• Software participates in functions failures of
  which do not influence on performing of main
  control functions of the system as whole
• High response time
• Simplicity of functional algorithms modification
  which do not effect on systems hardware
  structure
• Realization of multi-level functional diagnostics
  of equipment.

• Provision of parallel processing of all
  functional algorithms of the system
• Implementation of diversity principle in control
  and protection systems
• Integration flexibility during equipment
  commissioning
• Separation of informational and diagnostics
  functions from main control functions
• Flexibility and universality which allow to use
  platform for facilities of different type
• Short time period of development of designs
  binding and equipment commissioning
