Woodward Netcon 5000™ Control Replacement
The HPI RNU (Replacement Netcon 5000™ Unit) is designed as a "plug and play" direct replacement for the existing Woodward range of Netcon 5000™ controllers. The new controller utilizes the latest Allen Bradley Logix PLC system. The equipment is mounted into an enclosure with the same dimensions as the existing Netcon 5000™ controller.
The use of the Allen Bradley Logix PLC platform system provides the end user with the benefits of a commercially off the shelf third party system, while still meeting the performance and functional requirements of the original Netcon 5000™ controller.
The replacement controller has the same J plug arrangement on the back as the Netcon 5000™ and therefore can be fitted directly in place of these existing controllers without the need for any significant rewiring of the existing control system. The user interface to the module is provided by a Touch Screen Allen Bradley Color Panelview Plus, HMI. The use of a Panelview Plus allows the new controller to provide additional functionality such as:
- Graphical Representation of Data
- Alarm History
- Trending (Real Time & Historical)
- User Configurable Parameters (Timers & Set-points)
The new controller provides Modbus RTU communications to allow it to interface to existing equipment. In addition an Ethernet TCP/IP interface is provided allowing the user to interface the equipment to a LAN or WAN, SCADA or other diagnostic and control equipment.
