For decades, DuPont™ Tedlar® polyvinyl fluoride (PVF) film has protected the delicate wiring and components of photovoltaic modules. Widely used as backing sheets, Tedlar® PVF film has set the solar energy standard for strength, weather and UV resistance, and moisture barrier properties.To keep up with the growing needs of the photovoltaic energy market, DuPont Photovoltaic Fluoroproducts recently completed an expansion of its Fayetteville, North Carolina, plant to augment other PVF manufacturing facilities. DuPont technology associate Jim Simmons was given the assignment to work with the DuPont design organization to select and install the distributed control system that would automate the new Tedlar® operation. Simmons knew he needed a distributed control system (DCS) that could accommodate more than 600 DuPont-approved field devices from different vendors, adding up to more than 1,100 I/O points.
