Hey all,

I may have posted this before, but I couldn't find it if I did. My company is getting ready to upgrade the control system for a major part of our production line. The line was originally designed and manufactured in France using european wire color standards. My question is this, when installing any new wiring for the new control system, do we use NEC based wire colors or European wire colors? I say NEC, but the company doing the design work says they'd recommend European wires with tape using the NEC colors.

Thanks,
