1. INTRODUCTION The Hawk-I system is a unique, highly advanced, programmable controller combining the power of a PLC with the easy to use functional- ity of an embedded control system. This system allows safe, localized scanning of digital inputs, temperatures, pressures, flows, electrical currents and voltages, and fluid levels in machinery and industrial processes.
1.3 Scaling and Signal Processing The Hawk-I contains scaling and linearizing circuits that provide individual channel readouts in software selectable units such as Centi- grade and Fahrenheit temperatures, psig, psia, psid, feet and inches, meters and centimeters, inches of water, etc. Individually set alarm and shutdown setpoints are available for each channel, as well as multiple user-defined setpoints.
2. SPECIFICATIONS The Hawk-I is an expandable-platform digital controller with many available options that allow the user to select a powerful yet economical control system. 2.1 Inputs The sixteen discrete digital inputs used in the Hawk-I have volt-free contacts and are non-incendive; any kind of input switching device can be used. There is not enough energy in the circuit to ignite any gas mixture that may be present.
WARNING INCE THESE RELAY CIRCUITS TRANSMIT POWER FROM AUXILIARY EQUIPMENT THEY ARE CLASSED INCENDIVE LL ASSOCIATED WIRING MUST BE SEPARATED FROM NON INCENDIVE WIRING BY AN APPROPRIATE DISTANCE A further option allows for eight low power, solid state relays. These outputs are rated at 100 mA/36 V.
Electrical and RF interference immunity is designed into the Hawk-I, with RFI screening in the case. The unit has a high reliability due to conservative derating of electronic components. The internal printed circuit boards are conformally coated for extra environmental protection. The Hawk-I can operate in temperatures between -20º...

3. INSTALLATION This chapter covers only the physical installation of the Hawk-I. The Hawk-I digital controller must be programmed with a set of user-selected functions before it can be put into service. The user first creates a customized program for the Hawk-I with AMOT’s HawkWin software, which is installed in an IBM-type host computer.

3.4 Wiring Requirements The Hawk-I is Class I, Division 2 non-incendive equipment. The wiring to the fault and sensing switches does not require explosion proof conduit and housings. Such wiring cannot be the cause of a fire or an explosion. The wiring must be kept separate from that of other electrical systems.
Page 20
For example, on the back of the Hawk-I, the sixteen discrete digital switching inputs have four interconnected circuit return points labeled COM. The circuit returns for the digital inputs can be connected to any of these COM points. The COM terminals are input circuit grounds, and serve to complete the digital switching circuits.
3.6 Digital Inputs The Hawk-I is provided with 16 discrete digital inputs. The exact configuration of these inputs is determined by the individual user’s needs and the resulting HawkWin program. These digital switching inputs have volt-free contacts and the circuits are non-incendive. Any kind of volt-free, on-off sensor or sensing switch can be used with these digital inputs without the risk of igniting an explosive atmosphere under normal operating conditions.
Normally open sensors close to register a fault. A NO sensor can be disabled if a wire is disconnected or broken, and the operator will not know that the circuit has failed until that switch is tested for correct operation. An NO sensor should be used only in non-safety applications or when the risk of physical damage to wiring is low.
Each digital input needs to have its own ground return, so for every digital input, two wires must be provided. For example, Digital Input 1 would have one side connected to Terminal 1 of the Phoenix connector. The other side is connected to the COM terminal next to Terminal 4. Up to 16 digital inputs may be connected to the Hawk-I.
3.8 The 4-20 mA Sensor Inputs The Hawk-I can be provided with optional analog inputs of the 4-20 mA 2-wire type. This is a popular configuration for industrial sensors of many different kinds. The sensor input, which may be temperature, pressure, flow, etc., is converted by a sensor circuit into an output current that varies between 4 mA and 20 mA.
3.9 The Tachometer Input The tachometer is a standard feature. It is connected to the Hawk-I through a (10)-pin Phoenix connector that also handles several other inputs. The tachometer signal is generated by a magnetic device that acts as a gear-tooth counter.
3.11.1 Connecting the Power Supply The power supply wiring must meet all local regulations and should be at least 16 AWG or better. All power supply wiring must have insulation with a breakdown rating of at least 600 V, and be recognized, listed, or approved by a third party agency (UL, CSA, etc.).
3.12.2 Connecting the RS232C Port for Monitoring The Hawk-I’s optional communications module uses the RS232C to transmit and receive information and commands from other monitoring and control equipment. This is a convenient way to use the Hawk-I’s powerful and economical monitoring and control capabilities as an integrated part of a larger system.
3.13.1 Connecting the Configuration Link Input This is done by shorting the two configuration link terminals. It may be useful to put a red tag on the jumper wire or toggle switch to remind the technician to open the link after programming is completed. The Hawk-I will not process its sequence instructions with the configuration link closed.
3.17 The 4-20 mA Analog Outputs The Hawk-I can be equipped with 1 or 2 optional 4-20 mA analog outputs. These analog outputs can transmit calibrated sensor data from the Hawk-I to other equipment. The accuracy of these outputs is better than 0.75% of FSD.
4. TEST AND OPERATION After the necessary wiring has been completed and the Hawk-I is connected to all of the required inputs and outputs, the following procedures should be followed to check out the Hawk-I’s installation. WARNING: ALL WIRING SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES 4.1 Pre-Operation Test Procedure 1.
WARNING THE FRONT PANEL KEYS OF THE HAWK-I LABELED “START” AND “STOP” WILL HAVE NO FUNCTION UNLESS THEY ARE SPECIFICALLY PROGRAMMED USING HAWKWIN 4.2 Initial Check of Hawk-I Operation The programmer who used HawkWin to setup the Hawk-I should provide a detailed operating procedure, possibly including a step-by-step checklist.
4.3 Troubleshooting the Installation The Hawk-I’s operation depends on the input sensors that are connected to the unit through wires and plug-in connectors. A wide variety of malfunctions can be caused by external wiring errors. 4.3.1 LED Status Indicator The Hawk-I is equipped with a green status LED (lamp) that is visible in the opening between the power connector and the connector for relay output #1.
If the channel in question still does not function properly, then the programming of the Hawk-I should be checked. But if the Hawk-I responds correctly when the SPST switch is used to control the digital input channel in question, then the problem must be either in the wiring to the digital sensor for that input channel, or in the sensor itself.
In industrial situations, mechanical failure seems to occur more fre- quently than electronic failure. The moving parts of any sensor should be examined carefully for freedom of movement and broken or jammed linkages. Linear, back-and-forth movements such as those used in limit switches seem to develop more problems than rotary movements.
4.5.3 Swapping Channels Your Hawk-I unit was carefully checked before it was shipped. Even so, there is a possibility that one of the digital input channels may be defective. If wiring checks have not isolated the problem in a particular digital input channel, then the programmer can reprogram the function of that channel to another digital input, if an unused input is available.
4.6.3 Ground Loops If a large current of any kind flows through a grounding wire, the finite resistance of the wire will cause a voltage difference between the ground point and the far end of the wire. Any equipment “grounded” by that wire will thus be raised above ground by the induced voltage, and the “ground”...
5. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR 5.1 Maintenance The only maintenance required for the Hawk-I other than periodic battery replacement is keeping the faceplate clean. Use a cloth dampened with water to clean the faceplate. Do not use solvents; they could damage the plastic membrane.
9. Note the location of the slots holding the three circuit boards. Counting down from the top of the unit, the boards are installed in slots 3, 7, and 13. To simplify reassembly, you may want to mark the housing at the front ends of these slots with a pencil or marker. 10.
