Glosser Logical Motion Control system for compaction equipment consists of a 5" X 9" microprocessor base control card which is mounted together with a motor starter and control transformer on a sub-plate in a NEMA 3R electrical enclosure. The card replaces the standard relay panel and performs the necessary control of the hydraulic cylinder according to the factory programmed operation logic. The card accepts input signals from panel push buttons, selector switches, and card mounted controls such as rotary selector switches and current sensor. The card performs logic according to an internal programing and controls the necessary output signals including motor starter, solenoid and light to control a hydraulic trash compactor. The compactor sizes range from a 3 HP hydraulic power unit to 30 HP unit.

STANDARD FEATURES

• Eliminates limit and pressure switches and their adjustments
• Selection of ram forward or ram retracted machine shut-off
• Dip switch setting up to 16 multi-cycles
• Choice of 1-2-3 precrush cycles
• Partial full and full light detector
• System error diagnostic lights
• 1 second time delay from ram forward to ram reverse
• 1 second time delay from ram reverse to ram forward
• Eliminates bottoming of cylinder on forward stroke
• Automatic shutdown for malfunctioning cylinder condition
• Automatic shutdown if motor idles for 15 minutes in manual mode

• Automatic shutdown if ram extend time is exceeded in auto mode
• Automatic shutdown if ram retract time is exceeded in auto mode
• Extended feature connector for future expansion using same PCB
• Pressure transducer and current transducer inputs on same PCB
• Seven output drives for expansion
• 16 cycles can be set via dip switches
• System compatable 3HP through and including 30HP
• Self-calibrating, retains settings during power loss, reset, emergency stop, change of mode, etc.

This upgrade will primarily retain parameters necessary for a semi-permanent memory. Loss of power, reset, emergency stop, change of mode, etc. will have no affect on cycle from performing to its full capacity. Vastly improving the compactors operating efficiency. The upgrade is, also, capable of recognizing a malfunctioning cylinder by using measured values. If parameters are exceeded the machine will shut down and a fault light will be shown on the diagnostic LED to allow for preventive maintenance.
