Project Overview
The Challenge
This juvenile facility was taken out of service for several years. When the county realized the need to utilize it once again, the door locks and door control systems were updated. The facility installed all new AirTeq™ locks and utilized all existing field wiring.
The outdated Bogen intercom system remained in service due to budget and schedule constraints. The old control system was a proprietary board-level door control system that used toggle switches and indicator lights.
Our Approach
The Solution
Industrial Systems designed, built, installed, and programmed a new PLC-based control system to replace the proprietary hardware. The new system uses a touchscreen computer and incorporates the automatic connection of intercom stations in an area when that area is selected on the touchscreen.
The system was based on the GE RX3i PLC and included a 21-inch console-mounted touchscreen computer running Cimplicity HMI software. A custom-designed and fabricated landing system for the existing field wiring eliminated the need to re-terminate and land the existing field wiring — all the field wiring simply plugged into the new control panel.
Results
Project Outcomes
The facility was returned to service with a modern, intuitive control system that replaced the outdated toggle switches and indicator lights. The plug-in wiring landing system significantly reduced installation time and risk by preserving all existing field wiring.
