SY/Max to QuantumQuick Wiring Adapter
(QWA)Frank Prendergast
Schneider Electric – IndustrySystem Architect
What is the Quick Wiring Adapter (QWA)
● Schneider Electric has designed a new Quantum I/O terminal block that SY/Max terminal blocks connect directly inside.
● This allows SY/Max I/O to be quickly converted to Quantum I/O without disturbing field wiring, saving time
and money, and reducing downtime.
● Cost and Productivity benefits of migrating to Quantum● SY/Max is 187% more expensive than Quantum to repair (on average)
● SY/Max is 89% more expensive than Quantum to exchange. (on average)
● Quantum Mean Time Between Failure values are 4 to 20 times greater than SY/Max!
● Quantum CPUs are 5 to 10x faster leading to greater productivity
● Utilize existing SY/Max field wiring and terminal blocks● Significantly less time and labor required to change● Reduce chance of wiring errors and downtime
● Minimizes conversion time per drop ● MINIMIZE PLANT DOWNTIME (associated with the upgrade)● Rewire = 5 to 6 hours per drop QWA = 1 hour per drop
● No wire is removed and circuit board in QWA is validated to be correct.
● Minimizes your overall RISK of change!
● Minimize your cost and equipment downtime with less expensive more robust Quantum hardware.
What is the Value?
● Q. Is the new QWA any deeper or longer than my SY/Max system? A.) Yes. The QWA is ½ inch longer and deeper.
● Q. How do I know what this QWA does electronically? A.) The QWA connects wire to wire. Each QWA has a unique part number on it that identifies which SY/Max module and Quantum module it is designed for. For example a HIM101DAI5400 states that it is a SY/Max 8030HIM101 module connected to a Quantum 140DAI5400 module. In addition a wiring diagram is included with each QWA.
● Q. Are there any limitations to using the QWA? A.) The QWA was designed to handle the same worst case electrical conditions as the SY/Max module would encounter.
● Q. Do I have to worry about electrical live wires? A.) The QWA has a cover (same as standard Quantum terminal block) so it offers the same safety as long as the cover is closed.
Frequently Asked Questions
SY/Max to Quantum Simple Installation
● Step 1:
● Step 2:
Observe all safety rules and turn off all power sources going to the rack and I/O modules!
Remove all electrical power from the rack and all non I/O modules.
Remove all I/O Terminal blocks from I/O modules.
● Step 3:
● Step 4:
SY/Max to Quantum Simple Installation
Remove all I/O modules from the rack.
Remove the SY/Max rack.
Install the SY/Max to QuantumAdapter plate kit.
This allows you to install the Quantum backplane without having to drill into the enclosure sub-panel.
● Step 5:
● Step 6:
SY/Max to Quantum Simple Installation
Install the Quantum I/O modules in the same location as previous SY/Max I/O module.
Install the SY/Max to QuantumQuick Wiring Adapter terminal block into the Quantum I/OModule.
Open the cover to the Quick Wiring Adapter.
● Step 7:
SY/Max to Quantum Simple Installation
Insert the SY/Max terminal block into the SY/Max to Quantum QWA.
Close the cover.
You are now ready to startup your system knowing that the wiringfrom your older SY/Max system is now being used in your QuantumSystem!
