In this manner, control system 100 has notified the operator of the fault state and still permits the operation of controlled device 110 while the fault state of control system 100 is being addressed.
  • controller 120 cycles first relay 122 and second relay 124 by opening first relay 122 and closing second relay 124, as represented by block 210. Controller 120 by monitoring current sensors 132 determines if a current is passing from power source 108 to controlled device 110, as represented by block 212. Since first relay 122 is supposed to be in an open state, no current should be passing from power source 108 to controlled device 110. If a current is detected by current sensors 132, controller 120 determines that first relay 122 is stuck in a closed state and opens relay 124 to prevent further current passing from power source 108 to controlled device 110, as represented by block 214.

In this manner, control system 100 has notified the operator of the fault state and still permits the operation of controlled device 110 while the fault state of control system 100 is being addressed.
  • controller 120 If a current is not detected at block 212, controller 120 has determined that both first relay 122 and second relay 124 are operating correctly. Since first relay 122 is in an open state, no current is passing from power source 108 to controlled device 110. Controller 120 checks to see if an action signal 102 has been received, as represented by block 216. In one embodiment, controller 120 is simply monitoring a voltage on a line and based on that voltage makes a determination of whether there is an action signal 102 or not. For example, a low voltage may correspond to no action signal while a high voltage corresponds to an action signal. Instead of a voltage, controller 120 may monitor a current, a frequency, or any other suitable characteristic that may be used as a signal. In one embodiment, controller 120 receives one or more conventional message packets over a network from a controller of the controlling device 104 which are interpreted as an action signal 102 or the cancellation of an earlier action signal.

  • controller 120 is monitoring a voltage on a line as long as the voltage is indicative of the action signal power is provided from power source 108 to controlled device 110.
  • controller 120 may monitor a current, a frequency, or any other suitable characteristic that may be used as a signal.
  • the action signal is communicated to controller 120 as a conventional message packet, the action signal is present until another message is received cancelling the action signal.
  • controller 120 simply places first relay 122 back in an open state when the action signal 102 is no longer present.
  • controller 120 cuts power to controlled device 110 by placing in an open state the one of first relay 122 and second relay 124 which was not the last to be closed. In the present example this is second relay 124.
  • controller 120 opens second relay 124, as represented by block 222. In this manner, controller 120 is balancing the switching of first relay 122 and second relay 124.

  • controller 120 by monitoring current sensors 132 determines if a current is passing from power source 108 to controlled device 110, as represented by block 224. Since second relay 124 is supposed to be in an open state, no current should be passing from power source 108 to controlled device 110. If a current is detected by current sensors 132, controller 120 determines that second relay 124 is stuck in a closed state and opens relay 122 to prevent further current passing from power source 108 to controlled device 110, as represented by block 226. Controller 120 also indicates that control system 100 is in a fault state, as represented by block 208, and discussed above.
  • controller 120 If a current is not detected at block 224, controller 120 has determined that both first relay 122 and second relay 124 are still operating correctly. Since second relay 124 is in an open state, no current is passing from power source 108 to controlled device 110. Controller 120 checks to see if an action signal 102 has been received, as represented by block 228. As long as an action signal 102 has not been received, controller 120 maintains first relay 122 and second relay 124 in their current state. When an action signal 102 is received, controller 120 closes second relay 124, as represented by block 230. By closing second relay 124, both first relay 122 and second relay 124 are closed and power is provided from power source 108 to controlled device 110. This corresponds to the commencement of a second operation with the controlled device 110.
  • controller 120 cuts power to controlled device 110 by placing first relay 122 in an open state, as represented by block 234.

    mettant en place le dispositif de commutation respectif dans un état ouvert alors que le reste de la pluralité des dispositifs de commutation est dans un état fermé ; et
    surveillant avec au moins un capteur si l'alimentation est fournie au dispositif contrôlé qui indiquerait que le dispositif de commutation respectif est défectueux.
  16. L'appareil de la revendication 11, où le dispositif contrôlé est une pompe dans un réservoir de stockage de fioul souterrain et le dispositif de contrôle est un distributeur qui est en communication fluide avec la pompe du réservoir de stockage souterrain.
  17. Un système de distribution de fioul raccordé à une source d'alimentation, comprenant :
    Un réservoir de stockage de fioul souterrain adapté pour stocker du fioul à l'intérieur ;
    Un distributeur incluant au moins un point de distribution de fioul, au moins un point de distribution de fioul du distributeur étant en communication fluide avec le réservoir de stockage de fioul souterrain ;
    Une pompe positionnée dans le réservoir de stockage de fioul souterrain pour pomper du fioul à partir du réservoir de stockage de fioul souterrain, la pompe incluant un moteur de pompe ; et
    Un système de contrôle qui active le moteur de pompe pour pomper du fioul de l'intérieur du réservoir de stockage de fioul souterrain vers un point de distribution pour une pluralité de fonctionnements, le système de contrôle incluant
    Un contrôleur ;
    Une pluralité de dispositifs de commutation en série entre la source d'alimentation et le moteur de pompe, la pluralité de dispositifs de commutation étant raccordée de façon opérationnelle au contrôleur,
    chacun des dispositifs de commutation ayant un état ouvert et un état fermé, dans l'état fermé l'alimentation est capable de passer par le dispositif de commutation respectif et dans l'état ouvert, l'alimentation n'est pas capable de passer au travers du dispositif de commutation respectif ; et
    Au moins un capteur surveillant la provision d'énergie de la source d'alimentation au moteur de pompe où le contrôleur :
    Met tous les dispositifs de commutation dans l'état fermé lorsqu'il est nécessaire que l'alimentation soit fournie au moteur de pompe pour commencer un premier fonctionnement du moteur de pompe ;
    Met en place un premier dispositif de commutation de la pluralité des dispositifs de commutation dans un état ouvert pour terminer le premier fonctionnement du moteur de pompe ;
    Surveille avec au moins un capteur si l'alimentation est toujours fournie au moteur de pompe ce qui indiquerait que le premier dispositif de commutation est défectueux ;
    Met en place tous les dispositifs de commutation dans l'état fermé lorsqu'il est nécessaire que l'alimentation soit fournie au moteur de pompe pour commencer un deuxième fonctionnement du moteur de pompe ;
    Met en place un deuxième dispositif de commutation de la pluralité des dispositifs de commutation dans un état ouvert pour terminer le deuxième fonctionnement du moteur de pompe ; et
    Surveillance avec au moins un capteur si l'alimentation est toujours fournie au moteur de pompe ce qui indiquerait que le deuxième dispositif de commutation est défectueux.
  18. Le système de distribution du fioul de la revendication 17, où la pluralité des dispositifs de commutation sont des relais.
  19. Le système de distribution du fioul de la revendication 17, où il est nécessaire que l'alimentation soit fournie au moteur de pompe pour commencer le premier fonctionnement lorsqu'un signal de raccrochage est reçu à partir du distributeur.
  20. Le système de distribution du fioul de la revendication 17, où le contrôleur indique une condition défectueuse lorsqu'il est détecté que l'alimentation est fournie au moteur pompe lorsqu'une des pluralités de dispositifs de commutation est supposée être en état ouvert.
