2. General Information
System Description
The PLC control is an Allen Bradley Micologix 10 point processor interfaced with a PanelView 300
operator display designed to control one sampler at a time. The control can handle the addition of a
collection cabinet at installation or at a later date without replacing or upgrading the control. The controller
was design with the intent to be user friendly using a minimum number of key strokes.
Sampler start-up, setting and operator interaction are easily navigated through the menu screens on the
PanelView screen. Once the control is set-up and the desired timer values entered, the control can be set
to run in automatic or manual operation. When in automatic mode, the control will upon initial power up
wait 30 seconds before beginning the automatic sequence. This is designed to allow the operator time to
decide if they want automatic or manual operation. If the control has been ON and the remote enable
signal is use the 30 second delay is not used. When the control is in automatic, the delay between samples
timer will start to time down, upon reaching 0 the control will begin the desired sampling sequence. When
the control is set for manual operation, the delay between samples timer is ignored and upon press the
“F1” key, the sampler will begin the sampling sequence.
Optional Features
The certified drawings indicate which, if any, optional features are included with a sampler control. Some
of the more frequently specified optional features are briefly described in the following list.
1. Controller arranged to initiate a sampling cycle based on quantity or volume of material passing
through conveying line rather than upon elapsed time periods.
2. Explosion Proof Controller. There are several major differences in an explosion-proof control as
compared to a standard control. An explosion proof control will typically have the following features.
The explosion proof sampler control is available in two enclosure classifications.
a. The NEMA 9 control with the rating of:
Class 2, Groups E, F and G, Division 1 and 2
b. The NEMA 7 control with the rating of:
Class 1, Groups C and D, Division 1 and 2

parts or packages actually received corresponds to the quantity shown on the packing slip. Report any
damage or shortage to the delivering carrier as soon as possible. InterSystem’s responsibility for the
equipment ended with acceptance by the delivering carrier. Refer to the bill of lading.
Pre-Installation Preparation
NOTE: Before starting the sampling system installation, study this manual, the certified drawing(s)
furnished with the system and other applicable documents (including, but not limited to OSHA
regulations, the National Electrical Code and all other applicable federal, state and local codes
and regulations).
Controller Location
1. Use vibration isolation pads when mounting the control enclosure or mount the controller in a
vibration free location.
2. Unless ordered for severe duty, locate controller so it is protected from water and dust.
3. Unless an explosion-proof rated controller was specifically ordered, DO NOT locate the controlle r in
a hazardous area.
4. Most applications require that the sampler be in easy view of the controller.
System Wiring
Refer to the certified electrical drawing(s) for specific wiring requirements. The 19-position barrier
terminal strip located inside the bottom right corner of the control enclosure is the connection point for
ALL external circuitry.
The controller was completely assembled and tested with the sampler before it left the factory. The
electrical installation must comply with OSHA Regulations, the National Electrical Code and all other
applicable federal, state and local codes and regulations.
If wiring between the controller and the sampler unit is run through rigid conduit, use a short length of
flexible conduit to connect wiring to the sampler. This will isolate the rigid conduit from any vibration
originating in the product conveying line and sampler.
Controller Electrical Power Requirements
110/120 VAC 50/60 Hz, Single Phase, 20 Amp Maximum Service.
Optional - 220/240 VAC 50/60 Hz, Single Phase, 10 Amp Service.
Refer to the certified electrical drawing(s) for specific wiring requirements. InterSystems strongly
recommends that electrical service to the sampling system be an isolated line. Voltage fluctuations and

7. PLC Settings for PS, PS-XP and HD-PP Sampler Operation
Sampler Operation Description
The PS style sampler when operated in the timing mode and Automatic operates as follows. When the
illuminated display reads all zeroes (000), the timer has “timed out” and initiates a sampling cycle. The
sample probe extends and delays to collect a sample until T1 times out, the probe then retracts and
actuates the limit switch LS-1. After the limit switch close and a delay of 1/2 second (to allow the bevel
gears to mesh) the auger motor is energized for the time setting of T2. After timer T2 times out, the motor
will stop and the timer display resets to the preset value and another timing interval is initiated. If the
controller is shut off or the mode switched from AUTO to MANUAL, the timing cycle is te rmin ated. When
power is restored or the AUTO mode is again selected, the display is reset to the preset value and another
cycle begins. NOTE: A new timing cycle can be initiated ONLY after the sampling cycle has completed.
PS, PS-XP and HD-PP Sampler Operating Components

11. PLC Settings for PRT and HD-PRT Sampler Operation
Sampler Operation Description
The PRT style sampler when operated in the timing mode and Automatic operates as follows. When the
AUTO mode is selected, the timer begins timing down. When the illuminated display reads all zeroes
(000), the timer has “timed out” and initiates a sampling cycle. The sample cycle begins by actuating a
double solenoid valve (V1A) to extend a pair of double a cting cylinders moving the probe into the product
stream. When fully extended LS-1 is closed. Next another set of double solenoid valves (V-2A) then rotate
a rotary actuator and probe clockwise (view from actuator end) through a 270° arc, exposing the sample
probe opening to the product stream. When fully rotated LS-4 closes, the first valve set (V-1B) energizes
to retract the double acting cylinders and probe from the product stream, isolating the sample and sample
probe cavity from the product stream. Once fully retracted LS-2 closes and the second valve set (V2B)
energizes to rotate the rotary actuator counterclockwise through the 270° arc to discharge the collected
sample. When fully rotated LS-3 closes. If the controller is shut off or the mode switched from AUTO to
MANUAL, the timing cycle is terminated. When power is restored or the AUTO mode is again selected,
the display is reset to the preset value and another cycle begins. NOTE: A new timing cycle can be initiated
ONLY after the sampling cycle has completed.
