Problem:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Committed to the future of our technology in hospitals, nursing homes, data centers, schools, and airports, we are converting Preferred NEMA 4 Plant Wide Controllers’s (PWC) nearing end of life to Fuel System Controller (FSC)<\/strong><\/a> based controllers. Pictured are before (prior to shipment in 2015) and after of one of the units that was converted in this way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We replaced the PWC LCD display\/touchpad with an OIT-10X \u2013 an\nadapter plate was made that allowed it to be a direct fit into the existing\ncutout in the door of the enclosure. We also completely removed the PWC\ncontroller from inside the panel. This was replaced with a prefabricated\nsubplate assembly that bolted right into the enclosure using the same mounting\nas the original PWC controller. In this case the customer wanted to keep the\nH-O-A switches behind the closed door of the enclosure, so we provided those\nmounted on the subplate, refer to the upper right hand corner, you\u2019ll see this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By doing this none of the field wiring or conduit runs needed to\nbe changed. On this particular project we\u2019re replacing a total of (7) units\nlike this, that originally weer all communicating to each other via Modbus,\nusing a twisted cable. This cable had to be changed as the system is now\ncommunicating over the nodenet communication bus. However, the customer used\nthe twisted cable (which is being removed) to pull the new nodenet cable\nthrough conduit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once all the conversions are completed, the customer will have a state-of-the-art control system in addition to increased visibility of the overall system from any of the control cabinets. All said and done, it took about a day per cabinet to perform the change out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
