Automated Spot Charging System


Description
The control system hardware comprises a purged main control panel, a purged pneumatic solenoid enclosure, purged servomotors and a purged operator interface enclosure.  Additionally, AeroSpec, Inc. provides chillers for the Spot Charging chamber and spot charging material.  The electrical hardware will be rated for a Class II, Division 1 hazardous location and “UL” listed or recognized, wherever possible, to meet “UL” compliance and to ensure the selection of quality, tested electrical components.  Selected electrical components are standard off-the-self components where ever possible, to ensure technical support, maintenance, and replacement availability.

Details
The purged NEMA 4 operator interface panel, located on the machine provides convenient access to the system controls.  The operator panel includes the following pushbuttons and indicators: power on, emergency stop, reset, start/stop, auto/manual mode select, step machine, raise bowl, lower bowl and fault indication light.  A text display provides set point modification and fault messages.

The main control panel contains an Allen Bradley PLC, 7-slot rack, rack power supply, all control circuit breakers and fuses, control relays, intrinsic barriers and terminals.   A 24VDC power supply powers all I/O devices and barriers.   A wall mounted NEMA 4 control enclosure with a door-mounted rotary disconnect houses the controls hardware.  The control panel mounts to the side of the machine.  All field device wiring terminates to terminals in this panel.   Emergency Stop buttons, incorporated into the Control Panel door and the operator interface, remove control power from motion causing devices.  The purged main control panel is designed and fabricated to comply with Underwriter’s Laboratories and NEC specifications.

A purged NEMA 4 pneumatic panel houses the solenoid valves and an electrically operated air dump.  All pneumatic tubing exits the pneumatic panel through bulkhead connections in the bottom of the panel.  The shut-off, filter and regulator, protected by a Plexiglas cover, mount to the machine base.  A ˝” Q.D. connector provides a system air hookup point.
