High Power Remote Control Application for Elevator Conveyor




Our company manufactures Alfalfa Cubes for domestic and export use. In order to export this product we must load them into a 40' sea container. We use a potato pillar that has been modified for this purpose. It has a hopper to put the cubes into and screen out the fines, then the cubes travel up an elevator conveyor to a 20' boom conveyor that is inside the sea container.



In order to maximize the weight we need the ability to move the boom left to right, up and down, and in or out. We also need to be able to stop and start the 2 conveyors. This is currently being done with electric solenoids over hydraulic and a control box with a cord back to main panel.



The main problem with the corded control box is it is quite bulky and the 30' of cord is a chore to drag around. It also tends to get dropped so we have to replace the switches quite often, as well if the cord gets run over we will need to change it out or repair it. So we went looking for a cost effective solution and came upon CaryMart high power remote control. We ordered the 12 channel AC220V 30A high power radio remote controller (12S1PUB-AC220 & CV-12)



We then made a sub panel that would house all of the receivers / relays. The directional receivers / relays are 1 - 6 and the conveyor receivers / relays are 9, 10 and 12. Receiver / relay 11 is a master power for all of the receivers / relays, as we only need the remote control function for loading the sea containers. These receivers / relays are 110V power in and 110V power out to the electric solenoids over hydraulic. These are hooked up with the normally open side of the relay so as when we push the numbered button it then closes and sends power to the solenoids which in turn opens the solenoid and allows hydraulic oil to be pumped to the rams that control the directional movement of the 20' boom. When we release the numbered button the relay then opens again and the solenoid closes stopping the flow of hydraulic oil.



The next problem we needed to over come was the ability to start and stop the elevator and boom conveyors. These are controlled by 3 phase 480V motor. The main start and stop buttons operate the magnetic coils that close and open the 3 phase contacts. These coils only need 220V to operate them. So by powering receivers / relays 9, 10 and 12 with 110V for remote operation we were then able to connect the 220V magnetic coil controls wire to the output side of the relay. To start the conveyors the relays need to be normally open and closed to energize the magnetic coil when a numbered button is pushed. Then return to open when numbered button was released. Receivers / relays 9 and 10 are our 2 start relays in this operation. Now to stop the 2 conveyors because they are linked in a series we just needed to stop the boom conveyor and in turn they would both stop. This was done by using receiver / relay 12 that is wired normally closed. So when a numbered button was pushed the relay would open and break the power going to the magnetic coils and return to closed when numbered button was released.

In conclusion all of the receivers / relays have an input power of 110V and receivers / relays 1 - 6 and 11 have output power of 110V. The receivers / relays 1 - 6 have a jumper setting to momentary while receiver / relay 11 has a jumper setting to toggle. The 3 remaining receivers / relays 9, 10 and 12 have output power of 220V with a jumper setting to momentary.

By purchasing and installing this remote control bundle we no longer need to pack the corded control box around and should cut time and repair cost. It also allows our employees to remain out of the Alfalfa dust from screening fines from our product.

Short Description of Toggle / Momentary / Latched Working Modes

Generally there are three working modes for rf remote controls: toggle, momentary, latched. Toggle mode is used most often. Controlling lamp, for example, press the button of remote, turn on the lamp; press the button again, turn off the lamp. Momentary mode can be set to control rolling blind or rolling door. Press and hold the button of remote, open the blind or door; release the button, close the blind or door. Both toggle and momentary mode are motivated by single relay, which means you can work these two modes with single button remote. As regards the latched mode, it is motivated by relay group. For relay group, only one relay will be on at a time, e.g. press remote button A, relay A will be on, and relay B will be off; press remote button B, relay B will be on, and relay A will be off. To be more specific, when you control the lamp by latched mode, you should prepare at least two buttons remote. Press button A, the lamp is on; press button B, the lamp is off. Online s

Remote Control Electromagnetic Lock

Image
Electromagnetic lock is a locking device that consists of an electromagnet and an armature plate. The principle behind an electromagnetic lock is the use of electromagnetism to lock a door when energized. Essentially it consists of an electromagnet attracting a conductor with a force large enough to prevent the door from being opened. That is to say, if only we could cut off power supply and make electromagnet force between electromagnet and armature plate to disappear, the door would be opened. Furthermore, we just try to use a direct dc output momentary remote and one button transmitter to cut off electric power to open the door. The following demonstration will show. At first, we prepare material. The wiring When we supply power to electromagnetic lock, electromagnet will attract armature plate through magnetic force. The door is locked. When we press button, the power supply will be cut off. The door is open as soon as electromagnetic lock unlock instantly. What’s more, t

AC Lamp is Controlled by Customized Delay Time RF Remote Controller

Image
We recommend 1channel 110V~220V customized delay time controller (S1RD-AC220+C-2). At first, it must be set delay time in advance. According to your own actual requirement, you can set delay time you want. e. g. delay time: 20 seconds. You cannot change delay time once it is set. It is applied for controlling lights, motors, fans, electrically operated door/ lock/windows/ blinds/ cars or other appliances with AC 110~240V or DC 0~28V. You can turn on/off device on the receiver with transmitter from any place within reliable distance (theoretical distance 100m), the wireless RF signal can pass through wall, floors, doors and other obstacles. Wiring: Initial state: B, C = Normally Open; A, B = Normally Closed. AC lamp is wired to normally open terminals B&C. And add additional ac power to AC lamp. The delay time is set in advance. It is non-adjustable.   Press button 1: Turn on the relay (connect B and C, disconnect A and B) After dela
