Plant Status Help

______________________________________________________________________

This program is meant to check status of Wagons for VG108 system only.VG108 has maximum 8 Wagons capacity which can be driven by program. Numbers of Wagons are defined in Plantsetting. If one change this number than one has to recompile program also.

If one require to operate plant remotely, provided one has selected remote control to YES in Plantsetting than he can select Remote Option. It is also advisable to set back plant locally before one leaves program. To remotely control one has to declare its push button & proxies input as remote in Plantsetting.

•	Input 0 of card 0 for Emergency on & off.

•	Input 2 of card 0 for Auto or manual mode

•	Input 3 of card 0 for Auto start or Auto restart.

The absolute value of following input number of wagon is

((16 * Card Number) + Input (0 to 15) Number of that card)) .

•	Input 3 of Wagon (1 to 8) corresponding Card (1 to 8) for manual forward.

•	Input 4 of Wagon (1 to 8) corresponding Card (1 to 8) for manual Reverse.

•	Input 5 of Wagon (1 to 8) corresponding Card (1 to 8) for manual Lift.

•	Input 6 of Wagon (1 to 8) corresponding Card (1 to 8) for manual Lower.

Following Inputs are required to be set remotely only if one wants to simulate wagon. In this case wagon physical presence is also not required.

•	Input 7 of Wagon (1 to 8) corresponding Card (1 to 8) for SlowForwardProxy.

•	Input 8 of Wagon (1 to 8) corresponding Card (1 to 8) for SlowReverseProxy.

•	Input 9 of Wagon (1 to 8) corresponding Card (1 to 8) for CentreProxy.

•	Input 11 of Wagon (1 to 8) corresponding Card (1 to 8) for LiftEndProxy.

•	Input 12 of Wagon (1 to 8) corresponding Card (1 to 8) for LowerEndProxy.

Once the plant is taken remotely, one can generate different function with help of above described inputs.

•	Click Emergency on Option to put plant in emergency mode.

•	Click Emergency release Option to release plant from emergency mode.

•	Click Manual Option to put plant in manual mode.

Be Careful while you select auto mode.

•	Click Auto start Option to put plant in auto mode.

Auto start means you are starting a plant from its last left position. One need not have to re- arranged flight bar to basic positions neither wagons to its basic position.

•	Click Auto restart Option to put plant in auto mode.

Auto restart means you are starting a plant from its basic position. One requires re-arranging flight bar & wagons to its basic position.

0	Your screen is simulated for defined number of wagons. Each Wagon is identical, so only one wagon is described.

0are shown.

•	7 as SlowForwardProxy.

•	8 as SlowReverseProxy.

•	9 as CentreProxy.

•	11 as LiftEnd Proxy.

•	12 as LowerEndProxy.

If in Plantsetting these proxies as input to 108 are declared remotely than one can simulate entire wagon without its physical presence in remote mode. To simulate proxies, you have to just click required proxy to make it on or off.

Since program is continuously scanning for wagon status, as a result this proxy’s current status is also shown continuously. If a proxy is on then it is shown in green colour else with black colour.

Five PushButtons are shown.

•	UP PushButton to lift Wagon in Manual Mode.

On clicking this button flight bar will be lifted, if flight bar is in lifted position then no action will take place.

•	DN PushButton to lower Wagon in Manual Mode.

On clicking this button flight bar will be lowered, if flight bar is in lowered position then no action will take place.

•	FOR PushButton to move wagon forward in Manual Mode.

On clicking this button wagon will move in forward direction & remains until Clear Traverse Pushbutton is not clicked on.

•	REV PushButton to move wagon reverse in Manual Mode.

On clicking this button wagon will move in Reverse direction & remains until Clear Traverse Pushbutton is not clicked on.

•	CLEAR TRAVERSE Push Button clears forward or Reverse Request.

Also on top of wagon current station & destination (wagon required position in auto) station is indicated along with wagon motion (Forward, Reverse, Up, Down or Stop).On left top corner of screen plant current mode (Manual, Auto, AutoError, Emergency) is also shown.
