This PLC system includes additional fail safes and a new remote operation feature. As part of this upgrade, a need for easy vacuum equipment replacement became apparent, specifically the vacuum gauges which are interfaced using serial communications. We developed an automated process to initialize and restore the configuration for replaced gauges. This simplifies the process and eliminates the need for a system expert for these tasks.
