GEN II
The Industrial Power Rectifier Generation 2 (IPR GEN 2) Control platform is the second generation of advanced microprocessor-based digital control that meets the needs of 6 and 12-pulse rectifier operation, with expandability options for higher pulse operations with the use of a remote master controller.
The heart of the control system is the control box that houses the microprocessor, peripheral control cards, power supplies, and fiber optic gating to the SCRs.
In a continuous effort to support customers with outdated products, Chess IPR was offering this upgrade/retrofit package for the existing IPR 486-based and analogbased control platforms.
A perfect fit for replacing existing 486 based control platforms, nearly all of the existing control boards can be reused. The IPR GEN 2 upgrade from an existing 486-based control was a very simple. Only the control box and power supply module need replaced.
With a complete Digital Upgrade package, the IPR GEN 2 replaced existing analog control platforms. This type of upgrade is much more involved, but the end results are worth the initial up front work.
