Modular PLCs Perfect Control Systems for an Exclusive Wellness Oasis

2022-08-10
●The GridControl engineers chose the modular MELSEC System Q as the foundation for the control systems to be installed the Hohe Düne’s multifunctional spa. This versatile programmable logic controller (PLC) is the most powerful model in the Mitsubishi Electric range; among other things,it can accommodate up to four different processor modules on a single backplane. “This was necessary because of the very large number of inputs and outputs,” says Grübl,explaining why his team chose to switch to the more powerful PLC platform. In the past, GridControl had always used the compact controllers of the FX series. To date, the company has delivered over 900 control systems, the first for a hotel in the Bavarian town of Reit im Winkl.
●Like all Mitsubishi Electric’s compact and modular controllers,the System Q PLC is programmed under Microsoft Windows,using one of two software packages: the modern GX IEC Developer (European IEC 61131-3 standard, Function Block,Ladder Diagram, Instruction List, Structured Text and Sequential Function Chart languages), or the popular GX Developer (Ladder Diagram, Instruction List, Sequential Function Chart). “The modular software architecture and the well-matched components enable us to develop a customised control console for a system very quickly,” says Grübl enthusiastically.
●An intuitive user interface was a top priority for the developers.In addition to this the interface and the control terminal had to have an attractive design to match the exclusive setting.
●GridControl chose a control terminal from Mitsubishi Electric’s new E1000 series for operation and visualisation of the spa systems.
●All messages and alarms can be confirmed on-screen and can also trigger automatic emails, SMS text messages or faxes,which are sent by the controller via a connected modem. For example, if the aroma fluid in a steam bath runs low the controller automatically sends an order to the supplier.
●A process visualisation system that provides a detailed image of current system status and reports malfunctions makes operation easier and increases the everyday avail-ability of the system.
