Fully customisable PLC control panel with capability to interconnect with any site specific interfaces and auxiliary equipment to create complete interlocking solution.
With the modular interlock controls based on Siemens standard programmable hardware, each control panel can be expanded to control a large number of doors, depending on the exact customer requirements.
With the capability of interfacing with BMS systems on site, each control panel can be programmed to provide a wide range of outputs so that the maintenance department always has the full knowledge of what the interlock doors are doing. This includes all various alarm states, such as 2 doors open at the same time, a door being held open for an unacceptably long period of time, a door forced open without the access control system being activated, etc. The ACIL50 can also be connected to the site Access Control system to provide information on the usage of the doors in the controlled environment.
As all software is programmed, tested, commissioned and verified by Actec, any combination of doors and interlock operation is possible, ranging from very simple 2 door material airlocks up to multi-door, multi-rule cascading personnel airlocks with privacy buttons on certain doors, swipe card readers, audible alarms, door automations and so on. Plus, the ACIL50 can be configured to interface with a site specific piece of equipment to prevent a door from operating if a particular machine is working, or stopping the machine if someone passes into the area through the interlocked door.
