System Implementation – Panels
Re-used existing field wiring
Used Point I/O chassis to fit in
same space
Every I/O point individually
fused
Clean plant – enclosures could
remain open for an extended
period
Hung new chassis on door
temporarily
![Page 25: Cybertrol Engineering: Hospital Utilities Plant Upgrades to PlantPAx with Zero Downtime](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042607/558b9fa7d8b42a027a8b45a5/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

System Implementation – Cutover
All new chassis powered up on
device-level ring
I/O swapped over from existing
panel to new chassis, point-by-
point
Old modules removed and new
chassis relocated to inside of
cabinet
