Control Cabinet for Grain Drying Towers
An important element of a grain drying tower, such as DSP-24 or DSP-32, is the control cabinet (CC). This cabinet performs several important functions:
- Monitoring the adherence to technological parameters;
- Controlling the mechanisms of the grain dryer using electric drives.
Components of the Control Cabinet
The nomenclature of equipment used in the CC depends on the client's requirements. Typically, the CC includes:
- Body;
- Control and monitoring elements (front panel);
- Additional electrical equipment (located inside).
If necessary, the cabinet can be equipped with special control controllers that allow for the automation of the entire process.
Installation Principle of the Control Cabinet
The control cabinet should be installed in the boiler room, where its electrical connection is made according to the existing schematic.
Advantages of the Control Cabinet
Among the obvious advantages of the CC, the following can be highlighted:
- The possibility of connecting additional controllers for automatic control systems;
- An intuitive interface that allows for quick learning of new equipment;
- Safety requirements (protection level IP-54);
- Good light indication (bright LEDs in devices and signal lamps);
- Backlighting of control buttons for mechanisms (indication of activation);
- The use of DIN rail significantly simplifies the repair and maintenance of the cabinet;
- Additional socket in the cabinet for connecting auxiliary equipment and backlighting;
- The use of widely available equipment (company IEK);
- Organized arrangement of wires in special boxes;
- Use of cable lugs for internal cabinet connections;
- Additional heating for the cabinet.
