Farewell to Angarrack

Alan and Sam would like to thank all our friends in Angarrack for a great 12 months. We are sorry to be leaving such a welcoming community and if it were not for such a once in a lifetime opertunity in Wales would have stayed a long time.

Thank you all for the gifts and wishes and we wish all at Angarrack a sad farewell.

It had just been completed in time, as early the next morning “the team” arrived to take the control unit and mount it on the scaffolding along with all the lighting frames being fixed in readiness for connecting up.

It took another couple of days in bitterly cold, icy weather (literally), to connect the wiring of all of the 13 frames’ cables back to the control unit and run in the power supply cable from the Electricity Supply feeder pole 35 metres away, these amounted to 38 cables, 90 cores in all (picture 12).  read more »

Picture 11 – Example program network

The editing results are shown graphically on the PC’s screen in a form that electricians call “ladder logic” networks.

The proposed sequence of actions had been “mulled over” for some time and bit by bit developed into the chart shown (picture 10).  read more »

Picture 9 – Completed control unit
Once wiring was complete, the backplate was fitted inside the enclosure, then it was given an electrical insulation test, and the continuity of all the connections checked out. It was now ready for powering up to enable programming of the PLC to begin (picture 9). Picture 9 – Completed control unit
