SY/Max to Quantum Quick Wiring Adapter (QWA)

1. SY/Max to QuantumQuick Wiring Adapter (QWA) Frank Prendergast Schneider Electric – Industry System Architect 978-975-9122 frank.prendergast@schneider-electric.com

2. 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

3. 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?

4. 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

5. 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.

6. 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 Quantum Adapter plate kit. This allows you to install the Quantum backplane without having to drill into the enclosure sub-panel.

7. 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 Quantum Quick Wiring Adapter terminal block into the Quantum I/O Module. Open the cover to the Quick Wiring Adapter.

8. 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 wiring from your older SY/Max system is now being used in your Quantum System!
