Greetings,
I've been tasked to inquire the feasibility of moving a working machine from our facility here in the states, to China. The problem obviously is that everything in the machine from a controls standpoint is spec'd for typical industrial control power used here (480VAC, 120VAC 60Hz), not China (280VAC, 50hz). Are there any other options other than replacing the drives, motors, etc that use 480VAC? The machine's controls platform is an AB CompactLogix PLC, AB 755 series motor drive, 480 motors, various 110VAC and 24VDC components. I'm 98% sure that replacing all of that and/or building a new machine specific for China power is the only options, but wanted to check here first. Has anyone ever done this before?
