Spec note
Gateway without rip-out
Fieldbus gateways that bridge eras without a shutdown fantasy.
Why this note exists
Gateway without rip-out exists because SA plants lose weeks to fuzzy specifications. We write the boring clarity that survives procurement and night shift. The note assumes Jet Park panel density, coastal humidity, and load-shedding that does not care about your brochure. Keep the language plain. Keep the Jet Park desk in the loop if the note conflicts with a vendor PDF. South African plants reward plain language more than brochure poetry. If load-shedding cuts your review evening, protect the three-question list and finish tomorrow. Photograph evidence before you argue with a supplier. Interlink to a control core and a cabinet playbook so the note does not float alone.

SA detail we will not skip
