Operation Overview

MCP-Series Master Control Panel provides native interfaces to APT Automatic Paralleling Switchgear Control panels, APT Master Control Panels, and most 3rd party controllers via following native interfaces:

  • Modbus TCP/IP Ethernet, Modbus RTU, or Modbus ASCI serial (RS-485/RS-232)
  • Analog voltage interfaces: 0-5 VDC, +/- 10 VDC, 0-3 VDC, 0-10 VDC, +/- 5 VDC< +/- 3 VDC, etc.
  • Analog current interfaces: 4-20mA, 0-20mA
  • Microprocessor controlled potentiometer
  • Digital signals: 24 VDC, 48 VDC, 125 VDC, 120 VAC, etc.

Custom Interfaces to 3rd party devices such as (Profibus, DNP, CAN, BACnet, SAE J1939, Caterpillar Data Link, etc.) are available upon request.

Advanced Power Thought

What is APTView?

  • The concept of remote access switchgear control makes safety the top priority.
  • It isolates switchgear operation personnel from the live components of a switchgear. It also allows for operator control from a remote location or an isolated master control station.
  • Operators can have the peace of mind that they are utilizing the safest means of operating circuit breakers possible. This is done by eliminating the need for an operator to be anywhere near live or potentially live equipment.
  • APTView is APT’s own Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system.
  • It utilizes Human Machine Interface (HMI) systems to monitor and control both APT and 3rd party equipment via personal computers or your favorite web or network-connected mobile device.
    • Requires fast internet connection and Static IP.
  • Customer specified security features to limit access only to the people who need access for maximum security.
  • See pages 7-9 of the MCP-Series Switchgear Master Control Panel brochure for our control system modules associated with APTView.
