Utility Panels
A motor control centre (MCC) is an assembly of one or more enclosed sections having a common power bus and principally containing motor control units. Motor control centres are in modern practice a factory assembly of several motor starters. A motor control centre can include variable frequency drives, programmable controllers, and metering and may also be the electrical service entrance for the building.
Control panel consist of a controller. Controller may be PLC, DCS, relay or some other type. It gives digital signal input signal to the MCC panel to start the motor. Control panel works based on the PLC /DCS program or the relay logic. Instruments are normally connected to control panel. Indications for the interlocks also will be there in control panel. Nowadays single panel is used of using separate control and MCC panel.
Ease in modification of logic, reduced size, means of remote communications and advances in the technology have made PLC Automation Control Panels an edge over conventional relay based systems. GE TEK Electronics has provided PLC based Panels from PLC of Allen Bradley, Siemens etc. From small I/O application to the complex I/O systems are provided by the Control Systems Engineers. GE TEK have developed communication software's for remote communication of the PLC Panels in various different protocols. With PLC based Panels HMI/MMI are provided to provide the operator various messages and controls of the process plants touch screen MMI are provided.
