That's good ...nice neat panels...what drives are you using? I had worked on a pipelay vessel recently specifically the drives just some basic HMI comms stuff. Siemens with their hundreds and hundreds of parameters....
very helpful reference. but may you please suggest a further reference for beginners like me? articles, journals or much better with the aid of schematic diagrams. this video is well appreciated. thank you
The enclosure that is visible at 0:27 is a Local Control Station (LCS), it also contains door interlocked Visible Load Break Switch (VLB). Push buttons on the LCS door are used to manually control the winch for maintenance of the equipment that this winch serves. The handle on the side of the enclosure is used for full current isolation of the winch motor when performing maintenance to the winch. On the right hand side of the frame, two smaller VLB switches are visible, these are used to isolate the hydraulic brake motor, and the motor cooling fan.
Hi I am a 1st year student in electrical engineering hoping to go to the WA mining sector to make the big bucks when I finish. I do understand the requirement for synchronization in all parts of industry, the question I have is the control stainless enclosures on the floor with looks like a cover, what is that for ? cheers Dan
The box which can be seen at 1:09, is a marshalling panel, this is typically mounted vertically, it is only been placed horizontally during workshop testing. The Marshalling panel will be mounted on site, external to the guarding that surrounds the winch. It is used to connect the various limit switches and instrumentation on the winch to the control cabling that goes back to the Motor Control Cubicle (MCC).
