Subject: SMP Main Panel: Relay Addition for E-Stop Circut 

An update was made for the E-stop and power supply system in the SMP main panel. Upon testing remote control, it was determined that the Opto 22 AC module was not sufficiently rated to handle the current draw of the motor (5A fuse versus motor 5.7A current draw). The design was modified so that the E-stop chain, which supplies 120 VAC line voltage through the main panel E-stop then the remote module (or local pendant when plugged in), will now activate a relay rather than run directly to the motor and 24 VDC PSU. This means that this E-stop chain will not carry the current draw of the entire system. Rather, the relay that is toggled when the E-stop circuit is closed will supply the system with power - this relay is rated for 15 A so the main 10 A fuse will blow before the relay fails in the event of a current spike. The new relay was installed on Oct 9, 2019. The local pendant was tested at this time and worked as expected (motion control, E-stops). On Oct 10, 2019, remote control was tested again and is working as expected (motion control, E-stops). In the attached schematic screenshot, the modification is CR7. In the image of the panel, this relay is located in the top left.

 

Edit: TRIUMF electrician Joel Semilla has seen the design change and verified it is acceptable.
