SY/Max to Quantum QWA • What is the Quick Wiring Adapter • Schneider Electric have 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. • 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
SY/Max to Quantum QWA • What is the value proposition? • Utilize existing SY/Max field wiring and terminal blocks • Less time and labor required to change • Reduce chance of wiring errors • 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.
SY/Max to Quantum QWA • How it is ordered. • Please call 1-800-468-5342 extension 1 and ask for Field Services. • and • Email a list of all of the SY/Max modules that you want to replace in an email to customercentral@us.schneider-electric.com • We will send you a quotation for the new Quantum modules, Quick Wiring Adapters, and SY/Max adapter plates you need. • April 20th first customer order • Lead time is 4 weeks
SY/Max to Quantum QWA • FAQs. • 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.
SY/Max to Quantum QWAInstallation Step 1 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
SY/Max to Quantum QWAInstallation Step 2 Remove all I/O Terminal blocks from I/O modules
SY/Max to Quantum QWAInstallation Step 3 Remove all I/O modules from the rack Remove the SY/Max rack
SY/Max to Quantum QWAInstallation Step 4 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.
SY/Max to Quantum QWAInstallation Step 5 Install the Quantum I/O modules in the same location as previous SY/Max I/O module.
SY/Max to Quantum QWAInstallation Step 6 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.
SY/Max to Quantum QWAInstallation Step 7 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 !
