Definitions
- the present invention relates to a fault detection device adaptable to pre-existing installations.
- the contacts connected in series are part of a chain. called “interlocking".
- the search for the fault then becomes very tedious for the convenience store, which also causes him a considerable loss of time.
- the device according to the invention overcomes these drawbacks: it indeed generates a constant current through all the contacts to be monitored. If a light-emitting diode is connected to each contact, it will light up as soon as its respective contact opens and the device will show a "voltage" across its terminals which will immediately be interpreted as a fault.
- the device allows: 1 / to manage the series of contacts as described above by connecting a light-emitting diode on each contact in parallel and also connecting the outgoing feeder and the end of the series of contacts to the device without further modification of the wiring, 2 / d '' indicate whether the control current is correct: it becomes incorrect when the circuit to be checked breaks,
- a second indicator can be added to one or more contacts in the series (at the terminal blocks or for contacts that are difficult to access).
- the device according to the invention can be applied: a / on an installation equipped with numerous motors (faulty thermal relay detection), b / on so-called "interlocking" chains (for example: gates, latches, zero, security of all kinds etc), c / on gantries where the movements are equipped with multiple parking brakes (control of the opening of all the brakes during a movement), d / on many other installations in operation of the user's imagination, while retaining the original ris cable, hence significant savings, e / possibility of construction in the form of a PLC input block in order to reduce the number of sometimes monopolized inputs of thing on certain installations),
- the LEDs for the contacts are light-emitting diodes which can be easily mounted thanks to their small size. For installation convenience, it is possible to use two-color diodes (polarization of the LEDs),
- This device includes a box I (figure) containing a power supply BA, a constant current generator available between L1 and L3, comparators which control the voltages on L1 and L2 by ensuring the operation of the indicators d8, d9, d10 as well than relay E.
- This device also contains a relay E whose contacts are available in R, T and C, a timer TP.
- a relay E whose contacts are available in R, T and C, a timer TP.
- the line control indicator d3 appears, the indicator lamps for locating a possible fault d8 and d9, the relay status indicator E d10 and the TP adjustment button located in the center of the front panel.
- the single-wire wiring between each contact enables simultaneous control and visualization.
- This device can be adapted as said above on any pre-existing installation, without modification of the initial wiring.
- Blocks cs G and H constitute the line to be checked, that is to say all the contacts to be monitored, each equipped with an indicator.
- Block B- A constitutes from the sector (220 V in
- a 1 and A2 a DC voltage of 30 V in order to supply the assembly.
- the set "d1-d2, R1, R2 and T1" constitutes a constant current generator fixed at 20 sA, flowing through d3 and the blocks G and H.
- Resistors R10 and R11 fix a reference voltage on the negative inputs of C1 and C3
- Resistors R4, R5 and the diode d4 fix a variable reference voltage on the negative input of C2 according to the state of the contacts of block H .
- the indicator light d3 illuminated indicates that the control current is correct, the contacts of blocks G and H being closed or not. If all the contacts of blocks G and H are closed, their respective LEDs are off then the comparators C1, C2 and C3 have their output at state 0.
- comparators C1 and C3 change state and d8 lights up, corresponding to a fault in block H.
- comparator C1 changes state.
- the TP block is a timer adjustable from 0 to 5 s, the start of which is controlled by a level 1 on B 1; this saturates the transistor T2 as soon as its time has elapsed, which makes it possible to illuminate d10 and to supply the relay E if the comparator C1 is in state 1.
- the reversing contact of the relay E is available on the terminals C, R and T by an external control
- the resistor R3 makes it possible to completely extinguish the warning light d3 if a line break occurs.
- the resistors R6, R7, R8 and R9 constitute a protection of the comparators C1, C2, and C3 as well as of the diodes d5, d6 and d7; d11 eliminates overvoltages from relay E.
- Resistors R12 and R13 limit the current in diodes d8 and d9
- R3 1 k ⁇
- R4 330 k ⁇
- Block I represents the front face of the device according to the invention; in the center of it is the internal timer setting button; d3, d8, d9 and d10 are the LEDs.
- A2 are the connection terminals, corresponding to the LEDs and terminals on board 1.
- the set I, F1 to F8 represents an example of wiring.
- the sets F1 to F5 and F6 to F8 represent contact chains to be monitored, similar to the blocks
- the number of contacts to be monitored is limited to 15 because the voltage between L1 and L3 has a maximum of 30 V.
- Plate 2 represents an example with two groups of contacts; however, if there was only one contact group to be monitored, it would suffice to connect terminals L1 and L2, or L2 and L3.
- Agent GALLIEN, Pierre; 61, rue La Fontaine, F- 75016 Paris (FR).
- a device which permits viewing of the open- ing of one or more electrical contacts of appli- ances connected in series and control of an automatic device without overloading the circuitry. It understood a housing containing a power pack, a constant-current generator between two given poles, comparators which control the voltages at two given points by operating two indicators and a relay, the contacts of which are available at given points, and a time- delay switch. Located on the front face are: a line-control indicator, indicators for localizing defects, the indicator of the state of the said relay and the control knob of the time-delay switch located in the center of the face.
- the device according to the invention is particularly suited to the detection of power failures.
- a device makes it possible to view the opening of one or more electrical contacts of devices connected in series to control an automation without overloading the wiring. It is made up of a box containing a power supply unit, a constant current generator available between two determined poles, comparators which control the tensio at two determined points, ensuring the operation of indicator lights as well as a relay, whose contacts are available at specific points, as well as a timer. On the front panel appear: a line control indicator, d indicators for locating any fault as well as the status indicator for the above-mentioned relay and the timer adjustment button located in the center of the front panel.
- the device according to the invention is particularly intended for the detection of faults.
