Entertron Introduces Redundant Control System for Press Manufacturers.

Gasport, NY - July 14, 2003 -- Entertron Industries Inc., the innovation leader in embedded programmable logic controller solutions, in conjunction with KTI Technologies (Jamesburg, NJ) have introduced a redundant control system designed specifically for press manufacturers.

The CM-1805-AS can do what usually requires 2 PLCs and 2 safety relays for redundancy and safety. The CM-1805-AS control module and the 9020C console clutch/brake controls meet or exceeds OSHA 1910.217 and ANSI B11.1-1988 standards for control reliability.

  • Operation / Off - Inch - Single - Continuous
  • Continuous arm operation
  • Top-Stop operation
  • Anti-Tie-Down function
  • Anti-Repeat function
  • System start-stop operation
  • SPM range 10 to 300 per min
  • Part stroke provision capability
  • Self-diagnostic display
  • Dual-logic power supplies
  • Micro-Inch operation
  • Brake valve detection
  • Positional Brake monitor feature
  • Captive contact safety relays
  • Chain brake detection
    •

    The CM-1805-AS is comprised of two embedded programmable logic controllers comprising the following I/O for each controller:

    • 120 VAC on board power transformer
    • 48 DC inputs (1 can be utilized as a High Speed Counter) (96 total)
    • 4 AC inputs (8 total)
    • 8 AC solid state outputs (16 total)
    • 5 relay outputs (socketed and fused with noise suppression) (10 total)
    • 1 Redundant Captive Contact Safety Relay (2 total)
    • 1 RS232 serial port for message display (2 total)
    • 6 LED inputs for board to board diagnostic (12 total)

    All control relays and safety relay are socketed for field replacement. Fuses are field replaceable as well. All I/O have LED indicators for diagnostics.

    KTI Technologies provides the controllers as either a complete panel solution (9020) or as a component assembly for installation (CM-1805-AS). A message display can be ordered with the component assembly (standard with panel solution) that includes 75 messages.

    The CM-1805-AS can be used by either OEM press manufacturers or end users looking to upgrade their press equipment to meet current OSHA and ANSI requirements.

    Other applications that require redundancy can utilize the CM-1805-AS control system. A solution can be programmed by KTI Technologies.

    The CM-1805-AS Sub Panel includes the following:

    • Two controllers
    • Terminal strips for wiring
    • Message Display
    • Mounting plate

    Pricing starts at $3200.00 US for the above configuration.
