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

• 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
7
SY/Max to Quantum QWAInstallation Step 2
Remove all I/O Terminal blocks from I/O modules
8
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 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 !
