5.1.3 HOA (Hand/Off/Auto) Screen
This screen displays all devices controlled by the PLC. Under normal operation (auto mode), all
devices are set in the AUTO position.
Each PLC controlled motor or valve in the system has a Hand/Off/Auto (HOA) Switch to
control its operation.
The HAND (H) position of a switch is used for testing and troubleshooting of the system.
As a safety precaution to prevent damage to equipment, the equipment will operate for
two minutes in hand mode and will then turn OFF and revert to the (O) position.
Operators must be present when equipment is operated in the manual mode.
