Westinghouse Numa-Logic

Eaton purchased the Westinghouse Distribution and Control Business Unit in 1994, acquiring the Numa-Logic PLC line as part of the acquisition. Eaton sold the Numa-Logic PLCs (along with the Accutrol and Vectrol products) to Advanced Technology Services back in the 1990s. Even so there are still old Westinghouse engineers around (who moved over to Eaton) and are still familiar with that Numa Logic equipment.

If you have a question about Numa-Logic PC-100 or PC-110, NL-300 (card logic), PC-400 (bubble memory PLC), NL-500 (2-wire remote I/O system), PC-700 (bit slice PLC), PC-900, PC1100 (Z-80 based PLC), PC1200 (80188 based PLC), PC1250, HPPC1500 (bit slice CPU w/integral PS), HPPC1700 (bit slice CPU with separate PS) or the Westnet II Data Highway (2 Mbbs token passing network with guaranteed/isochronous update intervals), perhaps we can help to direct you to the right source.

Also, many of the old manuals, schematics and technical documents are available on paper but have not been scanned and placed on the web just yet. As we are able, they will be converted to PDF documents and placed on the web.

I've included some additional information in this Message Board

In the meantime, the documents that are available are contained below:
