1. Introduction This manual covers the installation and operation for the PLC Controller. This manual provides guidelines for installing the product. You must retain a qualified contractor to provide on-site expertise. INTERSYSTEMS IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE INSTALLATION OF THIS PRODUCT.
A separate priced spare parts list will be sent identifying the suggested spare parts. It is also necessary to check the certified drawings, which will list any special or custom components utilized on this equipment. PNEG-2170 PLC Controller...
2. General Information System Description The PLC control is an Allen Bradley Micologix 10 point processor interfaced with a PanelView 300 operator display designed to control one sampler at a time. The control can handle the addition of a collection cabinet at installation or at a later date without replacing or upgrading the control. The controller was design with the intent to be user friendly using a minimum number of key strokes.
When necessary, you must consider the installation location relative to electrical, fuel and water utilities. Personnel operating or working around equipment must read this manual. This manual must be delivered with equipment to its owner. Failure to read this manual and its safety instructions is a misuse of the equipment. ST-0001-3 PNEG-2170 PLC Controller...

For 120/240 VAC, 1 PH operation use ONLY a Buss Type FNM, 250 Volt Slo-Blo fuse or equal. Microview PLC The PLC for the control is a 10 point Allen Bradley Microview controller. The PLC operates on 24 VDC and is pre-wired to the proper terminal strip inputs and outputs. The processor program is protected to prevent any alterations to the existing program.
120 VAC 0.5 Amps. This contact needs to be driven by the customer’s process (i.e. bagging line). When the contact closes the sampler PLC will register a count. They will count up until the desired count value is reached. When the count value is reached the sampling cycle will begin.

9. Press F4 to return to Previous Screen. 10. Press F4 for Main Screen. When in automatic mode, the REMOTE ENABLE jumper needs to be installed. NOTE: When in manual mode, the sampler will only take one sampler per incident. PNEG-2170 PLC Controller...
7. PLC Settings for PS, PS-XP and HD-PP Sampler Operation Sampler Operation Description The PS style sampler when operated in the timing mode and Automatic operates as follows. When the illuminated display reads all zeroes (000), the timer has “timed out” and initiates a sampling cycle. The sample probe extends and delays to collect a sample until T1 times out, the probe then retracts and actuates the limit switch LS-1.
7. PLC Settings for PS, PS-XP and HD-PP Sampler Operation 8. Press F1 for Mode (the current sampler mode should be showing). To change sampler mode, press F1 until a 0 is showing on this line. 9. Press F2 to change the sampler timer settings. (Extend timer and auger run timer.) The current value should be showing on the right side of this line.
8. PLC Settings for PT, PTG, LF, GS, GP and PDP Sampler Operation Sampler Operation Description The PT style sampler when operated in the timing mode and Automatic operates as follows.
