Transportation Field:
A large
railroad coal carrier's train car storage and staging area was the
victim of a lightning strike, knocking out all of the yard's
traffic controls, which are controlled by a Modicon 984 and five
remote drops operated by Modicon push button assemblies. Delta
Automation, Inc. responded immediately with engineers and the
proper test equipment. The lightning damage was severe. The Remote
I/O system was tested, utilizing Delta Automation, Inc.'s
specialized test. All five of the push-button panels were damaged
by the strike. Delta Automation, Inc. rushed all five to its
facility where the failures were diagnosed and the necessary
components were special ordered. The parts arrived the following
day. All units were repaired and returned to service at once.
Delta Automation, Inc. proved that it had the resources,
willingness, capability and experience to locate and repair the
customer's system.
