Control panel

The photo loading process is a pain, but figuring out this system will top that. It looks overly complicated. I hope someone who knows this setup can help.

That is not your average control center,it is a neat install though but electronics made in 1990 he has his work cut out for him lol and I thought the back wall of a Country Coach Prevost was a sight to see

First thanks for the help with the pictures - there still good people out there - and they own buses.

The touch screen control panel is center above the driver's head and the mother board is in the bays undernearth the bus.
The mother board or brain is over 20 years old and the company doesn't have a replacement for it.
The touch screen controlled the temperature, water pump, generator, lights, etc.
I have to manually start the generator and manually turn off and on the systems from underneath.
Most of my experts say put new system in (Intellesense).
What say you all.
What is the best path?
Where and who can install in south Florida?

Thanks

Rick

Find someone that does Crestron systems in your area let them look at it,I am thinking you can save the system by using a Crestron but the 2 old Trace inverters may be a problem though with the Crestron

That is a Texas Instruments Industrial PLC. Might check ebay. You will need programming software also, and hopefully the program is still in the old PLC and you can upload it.

I'm going to go our on a limb here and speculate that this idea is probably over his head.

Now, maybe someone on here might have the wherewithal to do this, and if so, maybe they would offer their services to help him out.

I don't about his head but it is way over mine
