  • Housing 94 is mounted to an optical connector shown generally at 96.

  • a spring pin 102 sealed at its ends with silicone plugs 104 to prevent ingress of dust, is mounted in a bore 105 through the housing 94. The spring pin 102 prevents the plunger 92 from rotating and limits the plunger's travel.

  • the plunger terminates in a solid blade 93.
  • the surfaces of the blade 93 are rough and black to minimize light back reflection into the fiber.

  • the plunger of the START button is depicted in FIG. 6B. Turing to FIG. 6B, it will be seen that the plunger 112 of the START button has a blade 113 with an aperture 115. By comparing FIG. 6A with FIG. 6B, it will be seen that blade 113 of the START button is longer than blade 93 of the STOP button.
  • the START button is, similarly to the STOP button, normally biased by a corresponding compression spring (not shown) to a retracted position.
  • the longer blade of the START button bars the passage of light from the transmitter fiber to the receiver fiber.
  • the aperture 115 becomes aligned with the light beam emitted from the transmitter fiber so that the light passes from the transmitter fiber into the receiver fiber.
  • the fiber optic indicator light 68 has a body 120.
  • a locknut 122 fixes the body 120 in the front panel 82 of the enclosure 74 (FIG. 3) with a sealing gasket 124 preventing ingress of dust and other contaminants.
  • a standard ST female fiber optic connector 126 is mounted in sealing engagement with body 120.
  • Optical fiber 66-1 is clamped in place by the elements of the ST male connector including a ferrule 132 surrounding an end portion of the fiber 66-1.
  • the end of the fiber 66-1 faces one end of a hollow cylindrical chamber 134 axially aligned with the fiber and formed in body 120.
  • the opposite end of chamber 134 is open and receives a plano-convex lens 136.
  • the lens 136 is dimensioned and positioned so that its focal point is located on the end face of the optical fiber 66-1.
  • a diffuser glass 140 is mounted to the body 120 over lens 136 and acts to evenly spread light emitted from the body 120 of indicator light 68 and to protect the lens 136.
  • the fiber optic indicator light 68 acts to magnify light produced by the high intensity fiber optic transmitter 50 (FIG. 1) of interface module 12 which is transmitted through optical fiber 66-1 and emit this light through diffuser glass 140.
  • the light is therefore magnified by the lens and strikes the diffuser plate 140 so that diffuse light emerges from the open end of the body 120 of indicator light 68 indicating the RUN status of the primary motor 16.
  • Starter contact 38 when closed, by-passes contact 40. Therefore, the starter contact 38 acts as a seal-in contact, maintaining a complete circuit path through starter contactor 30 after the START pushbutton is released to cut power to relay 60b and open contact 40.
  • the circuit path including starter contactor 30 may also be completed by depressing local start button 32 in order to energise the primary motor 16. And the circuit path including contactor 30 may be interrupted by depressing local stop button 34. This provides an alternate method of starting and stopping the primary motor.
  • the local start and stop buttons are optional and are only advisable where they can be positioned in a non-hazardous area.
  • overload relay 24 senses an overload current, it will open overload contact 29 which will result in de-energising the starter contactor 30 and, therefore, the primary motor 16.
  • the pushbutton control station 14 can be installed in hazardous areas without the need to be rated as explosion proof because there is no risk of the optical STOP and START pushbuttons 70, 72 or indicator light 68 producing sparks when actuated.
  • Both the STOP and START pushbuttons 70, 72 and the fiber optic indicator light 68 have switch and fiber mounting elements which are metallic. These may be grounded through dedicated grounding conductors (not shown) to limit any build up of static electricity and so prevent static discharges from occurring.
  • control circuit could be arranged so that the short bladed switch of FIG. 6A acts as a START switch rather than as a STOP switch and the long bladed switch of FIG. 6B acts as a STOP switch.
  • This alternate arrangement might be achieved, for example, by interposing an inverter between the output of each of relays 60a, 60b and their respective contacts 40, 36. However, with this arrangement fail safe operation is not achieved.
  • actuation of operator controlled remote, non-electrical STOP and START pushbuttons functions to cause a pressure drop or increase in the hydraulic or pneumatic circuit.
  • Pressure changes may be detected by pressure sensors occupying positions corresponding to the optical receivers of the optical embodiment described above.
  • Valves connected to an hydraulic or pneumatic pump occupy positions corresponding to the light emitters of the optical embodiment described above.
  • the hydraulic or pneumatic sensors and valves are connected through a hydraulic- electrical or pneumatic-electrical interface to allow a similar remote STOP / START actuation of the controlled electrical circuit.

Abstract

Un circuit de commande optique et un circuit électrique asservi tel qu'un circuit de commande moteur sont interconnectés par une interface électro-optique. Un commutateur optique passif situé dans le circuit optique à une position distante du circuit électrique est actionné physiquement afin de générer un changement dans l'état de transmission optique du circuit optique. Dans l'interface électro-optique, le changement dans l'état de transmission optique du circuit optique est détecté et déclenche un changement dans l'état de transmission électrique du circuit électrique. Une paire de ces commutateurs optiques passifs sous la forme de boutons-poussoirs arrêt (STOP) et démarrage (START) à une position distante du circuit électrique permet de réduire le risque que l'actionnement des circuits de commande moteur et similaire provoque la formation d'un arc et, dans des environnements dangereux, une explosion.
