" In a nutshell, these panels more than paid for themselves just with the cost of the modules, extra cost of wiring, cost of additional panels and everything else this removed. "

Challenges spark a need for change
Before installing the Advanced Data Managers, Goulston had planned to add more I/O cards to their PLC for data management of various applications. Goulston also had a desire to limit the number of wires to their PLC and wanted to include EtherNet/IP™ communication.
With the high number of individual instruments in the field, wiring and cabling became a challenge. The current method of having each instrument connected to the PLC with a dedicated input added additional complexity and cost.
Finding solutions to the challenge
Kyle Bernhardt, at Carotek, Endress+Hauser’s sales and service partner, has been supporting and collaborating with Goulston’s Tyler Hurst for 10 years. When Tyler brought the challenge to the Carotek team, the Advanced Data Manager Memograph M RSG45 was a solution brought to the table. Using Carotek’s expertise and UL approved panel shop, 14 data managers were installed, wired and tested within four different panels. This gave Goulston the solution they were looking for.
