CLOIS 3000 is a flexible signaling and control
system for conveyors, haulages and other plant.
The
system console comprises an intrinsically safe enclosure which
houses the microprocessor controlled signaling circuitry and a
telemetry interface. A Power supply and Pilot relays are
housed in a separate flp or XP enclosure.
In addition
to the console a system can include remote amplifiers (BMAs),
and various types of lock-out and signal keys as shown in the
block diagram on the reverse of this data sheet. A Tail End
Unit terminates the system cable.
The system is extremely flexible and may be used
as a control system in mines and tunnels for all types of
conveyors and haulages. The system provides tone signaling,
emergency trip, loudspeaker communications and two monitored
pre-start alarms. The standard system provides transducer
monitoring facilities for up to eight line-proved digital
inputs. In addition to the pilot outputs, the console has
facilities for up to four intrinsically safe relay outputs and
one analogue output for unit position indication. System
status is broadcast with voice synthesized messages whenever a
status change takes place.
TECHNICAL
SPECIFICATIONS Loudspeaker Communication
Facilities The system is equipped with the BMA (Battery
Mini Amplifier) loudspeaking intercom system. The console is
fitted with an H12VDC power supply and an intrinsically safe
loudspeaker amplifier fitted with a rechargeable battery and
handset. Up to 24 BMA intrinsically safe loudspeaker
amplifiers can be connected to the console. The audio system
can be extended to the surface or to other communications
systems.
CONSTRUCTION The console consists of a
metal enclosure housing the I.S.\ equipment. A separate XP
enclosure contains the H12DC PSU and Pilot relays. The two are
connected by a suitable cable. The main intrinsically safe
enclosure contains the electronic circuitry on a single PCB.
This compartment has a hinged front door on which there is an
LCD, start and stop switches, local remote selector switch,
and intrinsically safe amplifier.
DISPLAYS The console is equipped with
an LCD to show the status of the system, including the
signaling system and transducer
inputs. |
