PLC LUBRICATION CONTROLLER
This topic lists and describes the programmable
lubrication controller (PLC) in the lubrication room
(see Figure 2-4, PLC Lubrication Control). There are
also PLC lights in the operator's coop on the control
consoles which function the same as those in the
lubrication room.
The following controls and indicators are found on the
front panel of the PLC lubrication panel:
TIMER/COUNTER CONTROL. The timer/counter
monitors and changes the lubrication cycles as
necessary.
OPEN GEAR LUBE INDICATOR. This RED indicator
will illuminate during a normal open gear lubrication
cycle and will go out when the lube cycle is completed.
2-11
If the lamp remains illuminated, an open gear
lubrication system fault such as a lack of lubrication or
lubricant exists. Depressing the light recycles the
lubrication system and may be used to attempt to clear
the fault. In conjunction with the illumination of this
lamp, an audible alarm will also sound. If depressing
the indicator pushbutton clears the fault, it will also
clear the audible alarm.
LOWER LUBE INDICATOR. This RED indicator will
illuminate during a normal lower lubrication cycle and
will go out when the lube cycle is completed. If the lamp
remains illuminated, a lower lubrication system fault
such as a lack of lubrication or lubricant exists.
Depressing the light recycles the lubrication system
and may be used to attempt to clear the fault. In
conjunction with the illumination of this lamp, an
audible alarm will also sound. If depressing the
indicator pushbutton clears the fault, it will also clear
the audible alarm.

UPPER LUBE INDICATOR. This RED indicator will
illuminate during a normal upper lubrication cycle and
will go out when the lube cycle is completed. If the lamp
remains illuminated, an upper lubrication system fault
such as a lack of lubrication or lubricant exists.
Depressing the light recycles the lubrication system
and may be used to attempt to clear the fault. In
conjunction with the illumination of this lamp, an
audible alarm will also sound. If depressing the
indicator pushbutton clears the fault, it will also clear
the audible alarm.
AUDIBLE FAULT ALARM. This alarm will sound
when a lubrication fault is detected.
ALARM SILENCE PUSHBUTTON. Depressing this
pushbutton will shut off the lubrication fault audible
alarm--the alarm light will remain illuminated for as
long as a fault exists.
