These control panels were the ones that we were talking about.
These are new. Ok, yeah.
A lot bigger
Very beautiful... a lot bigger
You see that we have here an S7-400 PLC...
Here we have an S7-1500 here as well.
And you see all of these other devices that we have here...
like the fan for this one
Since this one is a 3-door control panel,
the fan is a lot bigger.
So, for this project we have 5 panels
These three that is one...
These are two... that’s all for one project.
This one, this one and this one...
This is an S7-300 PLC
These are the I/O cards.
Yeah, these are for thermocouples. - For the thermocouples!
These cabinets will be part of one big machine
A machine with four times two reactor
Reactors? - Yeah.
So, these control panels are going to control reactors
Nice, so...
So, each two reactors with an I/O cabinet
So, these will be placed in the unit.
And the cabinet behind you, the main cabinet, will be placed 50 meters farther away.
So, these are kind of the remote I/O stations? - Yeah, precisely.
So, we only bring two cables over here. The power cable and communication
and then it’s an stand alone part of the units
Because otherwise we had to pull 50 meters of thermocouples
and now it's just 10 meters
Ok, very nice.
So, the thermocouples are going to be connected to these remote I/O stations.
All of these are analog input cards.
and then these are... ET-200M
these two are going to be connected to the main cabinet...
to the main control panel, right?
First it is going to be from...
This is unit 10. -Ok.
It goes to the cabinet beside you.
So, the next cabinet. So, the communication goes to that one.
I make some space for this...
So, it goes to this one.
You see one big hub. So, all the before units goes to the hub
This is an Ethernet hub? Yeah, Ethernet hub.
So, it comes from there to this one, and then from this one...
to the main cabinet.
Yeah, it goes to this...
the communication part
It goes here to this Ethernet switch.
So, we have two remote I/O stations
that we are going to install in the field
for the thermocouples to be connected to these
and then through these...
This is just looped.
So, the ETs have Ethernets port on them.
And then we're going to connect these over here to this one.
And to this Ethernet switch
and this one is also going to be connected to this Ethernet switch that we have here.
and that's how the main PLC which is this one
is going to control the I/Os that we have on the remote station.
So these are ET-200
We are going to learn more about these stuff probably in a future video.
