PRODUCT SAFETY INFORMATION • All personnel who may be expected to use this equipment must be thoroughly trained in its safe and proper use. • Before flowing water from this device, check that all personnel are out of the stream path. Also, check to make sure stream direction will not cause avoidable property damage.
CHAPTER 1 - GENERAL INFORMATION 1-1 INTRODUCTION This manual contains the operation, installation, maintenance, troubleshooting, and parts list information necessary to support the HydroBlast Automatic Remote Controllable Washdown Cannon System (hereinafter referred to as the “HydroBlast”). 1-2 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The HydroBlast washdown system is an automatic remote controllable industrial washdown monitor (cannon) system which performs wash operations with high flow pressurized water based on customer defined pre-programmed wash sequence.
1-3 SYSTEM COMPONENTS The main components of the HydroBlast washdown system are: • Monitor (cannon) • Monitor onboard CAN control module • Nozzle • CAN to Ethernet IP translator (gateway) 1-4 OPTIONAL COMPONENTS • Remote control unit • Local joystick control •...
1-5 CAN CONTROL MODULE The HydroBlast CAN Control Module (CCM) contains the system central processing units (CPU) and all of the primary circuits. The CCM is the heart of the HydroBlast system controlling the operations the HydroBlast Monitor. It receives data from remote control devices, processes the data based on pre-programmed instructions and transmit output command to the motors to drive the monitor with high degree of accuracy and precision.
1-7 CAN TO ETHERNET IP TRANSLATOR (GATEWAY) The CAN to Ethernet IP gateway enables control of the HydroBlast system via Ethernet IP or Modbus TCP industrial automation protocol commands. The main function of the gateway is to translate ethernet IP commands into CAN protocol and vice versa. It enable remote control of the HydroBlast washdown system via remote control HMI or remote control panel.
This chapter is intended for system installers. It provides information necessary to successfully prepare for and install the HydroBlast industrial washdown system. The system design is based on the requirements of Elkhart Brass Manufacturing Company Inc., codes and standards of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). In all cases, the installation must meet the requirements of the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
2-6 INSTALLATION STEP 3: WIRE SYSTEM COMPONENTS • Connect onboard control module to gateway using harness • Supply power to the monitor by connecting the red and black leads from the 6 pin connector to an appropriate power source. Install a 20 Amp fuse into the positive power lead for a 12V system (10 Amp for 24V system) to protect the monitor electrical components.
2-10 COMMISSIONING After mounting, wiring, configuring, and calibrating the HydroBlast system, check the installation of the entire system using the commissioning checklist in below.

CHAPTER 3 - OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS 3-1 INTRODUCTION This chapter addresses operation of an individual HydroBlast cannon. Instructions on how to start up, configure and operate a HydroBlast cannon, including how to distinguish the different operating states and what the Status Indicating LEDs mean are presented in this chapter. 3-2 CANNON COORDINATE SYSTEM The HydroBlast cannon is designed to be easily used in washdown system, and the coordinate system is meant to be intuitive to the final user.

3-3.1 CALIBRATION MODE Calibration mode is used to calibrate the absolute position sensors and set the initial position of the cannon’s horizontal and vertical locations. Typically, this process is done once at the factory and should normally not need to be repeated by the customer. In calibration mode, there are no user or mechanical limits on the cannon, and damage and or injury can occur if care is not taken.
3-3.2 JOG MODE In Jog Mode, you can control the direction and speed of both the horizontal and vertical axis at the same time. When issued, the Left, Right, Up and Down bits of the command buffer control which axis is going to move. You can set both a horizontal and vertical Jog bit at the same time to do diagonal moves.
3-4.1 MOVEMENT COMMANDS The most basic command that can be sent to the cannon is a Movement Command. This command is sent by filling a buffer with values which specify the movement which is to be triggered, and then send the command to the cannon. The structure of the PLC buffer for the movement command is shown here below.
3-4.1.1 Jog Commands To execute a Jog command, you would enter 0x0 into the Cannon Command Field, and set the appropriate movement bits in the Jog Commands Field. For example, if you want to move right, set the Jog Right bit to 1. Since the Jog right is a horizontal move, you would also have to put the speed at which you want to move.
Figure 3-4.1.3 PLC Status Registers When a Jog or Goto command is sent to the cannon, the Command in Process bit will be set in the status buffer. The command is then evaluated by the cannon controller module, and in the case that the move is valid based on cannon status, programmed to begin. When the cannon is actively moving in either the horizontal or vertical axis, the Command in Process bit will be set.
3-4.1.2 Goto Commands Figure 3-4.1.2 PLC Status Registers Goto commands are executed by setting of the command buffer with the appropriate values and sending the command using a one shot instruction. The first setting is to set the Cannon Command field to 0x1 to place the cannon in Goto mode. The move will begin from the current position and complete with the cannon at the location specified in the Monitor Horizontal and Vertical Position fields.
Limit Command Field is filled with the value that corresponds to the limit or operation that is to be executed, along with the Vertical or Horizontal Absolute Position to be Set Field if needed, and then issue the appropriate CIP command from the PLC. CIP Setup is similar to the Move Command, except that the attribute field is set to 0xc0ff and the source element field points to the above Limit Command Buffer.
The values of these non-volatile registers should be set at the factory to allow proper operation of the cannon with sufficient operating margin, but protect both the cannon and external equipment from damage from collision. If the configuration of the cannon is changed, such as inverted operation, or if the standard nozzle is replaced with a different weight nozzle, then these parameters may need to be changed for correct operation.

CHAPTER 4 - MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS 4-1 INTRODUCTION The HydroBlast System must be inspected, tested and maintained in accordance with the inspection, testing and maintenance schedule mandated by the Authority Having Jurisdiction. Follow the required inspection, testing, and maintenance procedures for the associated plant/ remote control unit as directed by the manufacturer and by the standards and codes that apply to those systems.
