2.2.5 SYSTEM PRESSURE CONTROL

 System pressure is set by the potentiometer on
the control panel, as a voltage input to the PLC.
The PLC output is amplified by the proportional
valve driver card to approximately 100 mA at
minimum system pressure and approximately
400 mA at maximum system pressure. The set
pressure is automatically set to zero until one
of the power packs has been loaded.

The manual set pressure is automatically

compared to the actual pressure. If a pressure
drop occurred, for example by starting too
many consumers in proportion to number of
hydraulic power packs running, the PLC is
limiting its output set pressure to maximum 50
bar above actual pressure. This is to avoid
pressure peaks when starting another power
pack or stopping a consumer.

This function can be overruled in manual override model, and it is automatically overruled in mode 2.

2.2.6 REMOTE CONTROL OF HYDRAULICALLY DRIVEN PUMPS

The command signals from potentiometers at the front of the control panel are fed directly
into the proportional valves for speed control. The built in pressure transmitters give a 4-20
mA (0-300 bar) feedback signal to the instruments on the control panel.

2.2.7 COOLING WATER VALVE

The valve is automatically controlled and will receive "open" command at hydraulic oil
temperature above 50°C. It will stay open until the temperature decreases to below 30°C
when "close" command is given.

If no power packs are running and the hydraulic oil temperature is below 50°C, but higher
than 30°C, the cooling water valve will close.

If there is a mismatch between command- and feedback signal, an alarm will be released
after 1 minute. If a failure in the temperature monitoring loop occurs, open valve command is
given.
