OmniLogic Controller Upgrade
NOTE: This procedure is for OmniLogic units built BEFORE 2023.
The HLXPLCONTROL is designed to upgrade an OmniLogic system to replace the existing Local
Display with a more convenient remote touchscreen Controller. The Controller is weather resistant
and contains a built-in WiFi radio for wireless internet connection. If currently using an HLWLAN for
wireless communication, this is no longer used and must be removed. Its resistive touchscreen with
flip down cover is designed to function year round directly in the elements.
IMPORTANT: Before upgrading, an HLXBRIDGEPCB Controller Bridge Board (sold separately) must
be purchased. This will allow the new remote-style Controller to connect to the old (pre-2023) Om-
niLogic Main Board. If using an HLIOEXPAND expansion board, you must also purchase and install
the HLX-DSP-MOUNT (sold separately) plastic scaffolding mount.
Overview
Below is an overview of the installation procedure of the HLXPLCONTROL:
IMPORTANT: Make sure that ALL circuit breakers are OFF and the unit power is disconnected
before removing dead front panel and replacing parts.
1. Clone Controller to a USB Thumb Drive (page 8): Replacing the Local Display will remove
the current configuration and all existing settings. Cloning the Controller to a USB thumb drive
beforehand will eliminate the need to reconfigure the system.
2. Remove Old Local Display (page 8): Disconnect and remove the old Local Display and plastic
scaffolding from the OmniLogic enclosure. Save the Local Display for a later step.
3. Install the Controller Bridge Board & Modified Scaffolding (page 9): Install the HLXBRIDGE-
PCB Controller Bridge Board (sold separately) onto the Main Board where the Local Display was
previously connected. Install the HLX-DSP-MOUNT (sold separately) modified plastic scaffolding
in the same location as the old plastic scaffolding, if using an HLIOEXPAND expansion board.
4. Install the New Controller and Old Local Display (page 10): Mount the new Controller in a
convenient location and connect it to the Bridge Board. Install the old Local Terminal onto the
modified plastic scaffolding. The Local Terminal will act as a plug to fill the hold in the dead front
panel (it will not be operational). Reinstall the dead front panel.
5. Load Clone onto New Controller (page 12): With the new Controller installed, plug the USB
thumb drive into the port underneath the Controller. Load the previously cloned system onto the
new Controller and verify operation.
