 * The fans suck air through the fridge unit, they don't blow it

Aims

  • redo all internal wiring and logic, except the refrigeration parts
  • make the machine more safe by doing things properly and reducing the voltage of exposed components
  • keep the software interface as simple or more simple than before
  • make the buttons on the front of the machine work for dispense
  • make it extensible so things can be added on
  • give the machine a general service where necessary (seals, rust protection, oil)

Internal PLC IO Requirements

  • 10x24V DC input for can sensing (would it be worth multiplexing this?)
  • 7x24V DC input for front door buttons (ditto with the multiplexing question)
  • 1x24V DC input for manual dispense mode button
  • 10x100V AC relay outputs
  • 7x DC outputs for empty slot display

Process

  • empty the machine and bring it into the clubroom. This means everything won't have to be packed up at the end of the day while we're working on it
  • remove one of the stacks and test a slot actuator to see what it runs off. This determines what hardware we use to drive everything, so we need to know.
  • purchase all required hardware (PLC, wiring, connectors, switches, etc.)
  • write software (state machine based programming implemented in ladder logic, should be quite trivial)

  • wire up on the bench and test
  • service the machine. A can of zinc spraypaint wouldn't go astray on some of the rust spots I think. Check all the seals. Oil what needs oiling. Clean what needs cleaning.
  • install everything into the machine and test

Measured things

  • Can drop process: 400ms on, 500ms off, 660ms on, 300VAC peak-to-peak, 1.8A
  • Wire lengths:
    • Actuator units 0,1,2,3: 80cm actuator to wire harness, 210cm harness to corner of machine door, 40cm up door, 45cm across, 40cm up to terminal block (4-core minimum) (16.6m)
    • Actuator units 4,5: 80cm actuator to wire harness, 170cm harness to corner of machine door, 40cm up door, 45cm across, 40cm up to terminal block (4-core minimum) (7.5m)
    • Actuator units 6,7,8,9: 80cm actuator to wire harness, 140cm harness to corner of machine door, 40cm up door, 45cm across, 40cm up to terminal block (4-core minimum) (13.8m)
    • Buttons: 75cm across front of door, 60cm down edge of door, 45cm across, 40cm up to terminal block (8-core minimum) (2.2m)
    • Lights: 75cm across front of door, 60cm down edge of door, 45cm across, 40cm up to terminal block (8-core minimum) (2.2m)
  • The fans suck air through the fridge unit, they don't blow it
