The series of panels for this project
will be controls for a hoist that handles parts in a large metal
treatment and anodizing
system. There are three each of a PC console, operator control
panel, VFD and motor control panel, and a remote control console.
PLC's and PC's are combined with remote I/O on this job to form a
diverse system of controls. The project is currently underway, keep
checking for updates as it progresses.

The PC Console |
 |
Matt cuts an air flow opening in a PC Console enclosure
for the Air Conditioner. Logic Plus panels are proudly made in the
USA and Matt demonstrates his patriotism with an impressive flag
shirt. Keep up the good work team! |

The enclosure with AC unit on one side and manual operator
interface on the other. |

Rick demonstrates our new Logic Plus Human Machine
Interface (HMI). Featured here is the fully interactive model, very
intelligent. |

The PC Console Back-Panel |
|
The PC Console panel is an interesting combination of
PC and PLC control. Along with the computer which will be running
RSView HMI software, it houses a back-panel with an Allen Bradley SLC
5/04 processor and other controls.

Here's the back-panel fitted in the enclosure. This
is going to be a nice panel. Every Logic Plus panel is assembled
with care and the utmost quality. |

|
The VFD / Motor Control Panel |
 |
A separate panel is used for the VFD's and other motor controls. There
is also remote I/O in this panel for PLC control of the functions.
This enclosure is also fitted with AC. A control voltage transformer
is mounted to the opposite side on the AC to provide 120V to the panel.

Jim lays out the VFD back-panel. Laying out a panel is a combination
of engineering and art.

The Operator Interface |
|
Manual controls are in juxtaposition with the PC
interface and automatic PLC control. There is also a remote control
panel that acts as a slave to this one that will be mounted elsewhere. |
