START PERMISSIVES FOR EQUIPMENTS IN STG II

CHP

1. Conveyor belts that are driven by LT motors

The start permissives for conveyor belts 14A/B, 16A/B, 17A/B, 18A/B, 19A/B, 20A/B, 21, 22A/B,
24A/B, 26A/B, 27 A/B, 28A/B, 29A/B, 30A/B, 31, 32A/B, 33A/B are follows

START PERMISSIVES

1. Running signal from the electrical contactor of the down stream conveyor
2. Signal from the ZSS of the down stream conveyor that the said conveyor is running
3. There is no trip command from any of the belt sway switch of the conveyor
4. Flap gate position limit switch is OK. ( that is the flap gate at the head end of this conveyor
should open to the down stream running conveyor)
5. No trip command is persisting from any of the pull chord switches
6. No trip is existing from the chute jam switch of down stream chute
7. No EPB has acted .
8. No MD fault should persist (only for C21/31,C13/23 A&B,C14/24 A&B CONVEYORS)

During starting of the conveyor the ZSS is bypassed

If all the above are OK then one can issue a start command from the control room. The command
will go to MCC. The PLC will wait for ???? secconds to get an ON signal from the motor
electrical contractor. If it is not coming then PLC will sense that the motor has not started and it
will show “FEED BACK FAULT". Then there is a problem in the particular electrical module

The conveyors 14A/B, 20A/B, 21, 24A/B, 30A/B, 31A/B and 31 are provided with thruster breaks.
During starting of these conveyors the break limit switches are by passed in addition to the
bypassing of ZSS.
2. Conveyor belts that are driven by HT motors

The start permissives for conveyor belts 13A/B, 15A/B, 23A/B, and 25A/B are follows

2. Signal from the ZSS of the down stream conveyor that the said conveyor is running
3. There is no trip command from any of the belt sway switch of the conveyor
4. Flap gate position limit switch is OK. ( that is the flap gate at the head end of this conveyor
should open to the down stream running conveyor)
5. No trip command is persisting from any of the pull chord switches
6. No trip is existing from the chute jam switch of down stream chute
7. No EPB has acted
8. Scoop Coupling engage limit switch should not be in operated condition
9. Scoop coupling disengage limit switch should be in operated condition
10. Oil temperature is less than 100 degree Centigrade
11. Motor bearing temperature is not high
12. No trip is existing from the HT breaker like earth faults
13. The trip circuit is healthy
14. On feed back from oil pump

During starting of the conveyor the ZSS is bypassed

If all the above are OK then one can issue a start command from the control room. The command
will go to MCC. The PLC will wait for secconds to get an ON signal from the motor electrical
contractor. If it is not coming then PLC will sense that the motor has not started and it will show
“FEED BACK FAULT". Then there is a problem in the particular electrical module

3. Interlocks for conveyor belts that are driven by HT motors

The start permissives for conveyor belts 13A/B, 15A/B, 23A/B, and 25A/B are follows

2. If the ZSS of the down stream conveyor has operated ( i.e. running signal for the down
stream conveyor from its ZSS is not there)
3. Belt sway switch operated
4. If the flap gate position limit switch is NOT OK. ( If the PLC senses that is the flap gate at
the head end of this conveyor is not open to the down stream running conveyor)

11. Motor bearing temperature high
12. Trip from the HT breaker like earth faults
13. The trip circuit is not healthy
4. Manual Operation of HT conveyor

When operator wants to start the drive in manual mode, the coupling should be in disengaged
position (SCOOP IN) before starting the main drive motor. “SCOOP IN” and “SCOOP OUT”
feedbacks are made available to PLC. If the scoop is at “SCOOP OUT” position, in that case scoop
will be taken to “SCOOP IN” position (drive disengaged).

On getting permissive (down stream equipment running), operator will issue start command then
water solenoid valve will get energized. This shall be followed by start command to oil pump. After
giving start command the oil pump will start according to the selection. The oil flow ok feedback
will come to PLC.
Once the oil conditions are healthy and scoop is in “SCOOP IN” position. The main drive motor
will be started. In case the scoop is in “SCOOP OUT” position, the same shall be brought out to
“SCOOP IN” before starting the main motor.

After the main motor started, “SCOOP OUT” command will be issued after a minimum time delay
of 10 sec. (adjustable) to engage the coupling.

For the normal shut down of CHP, operation shall be in reverse sequence.
• H.T. motor along with scoop coupling oil system (i.e. oil pump) and cooling system shall
continue to run if there is no load (scoop disengaged) condition or any sequential trip.
The main motor & the oil pump shall trip for scoop coupling oil temp high condition.
5. Permissives for oil pumps of Scoop Coupling

1. The oil temperature should be less than 100 degree centigrade

2. Water flow switch is sensing water flow
3. No overload is existing in the oil pump
4. No over load from the scoop coupling motor
5. The feeder healthy signal from the electrical module of the oil pump
6. The feeder healthy signal from the electrical module of the scoop motor

After giving command for start of oil pump if on signal is not coming from the electrical
contactor then feed back fault will be displayed

6. Interlocks for oil pump

1. The oil temperature >100 degree centigrade. An additional trip is given at 110 degree
centigrade in case the trip at 100 degree malfunctions.
2. Water flow switch is not sensing water flow
3. Overload in the oil pump
4. Over load of scoop coupling motor
5. The feeder not healthy signal from the electrical module of the oil pump
6. The feeder not healthy signal from the electrical module of the scoop motor
7. If the oil flow switch is not sensing flow then the standby pump will start after a time delay
of seconds. If the oil flow switch is not sensing flow, then it will not allow the scoop to
engage.
8. If the water flow switch is not sensing water flow the scoop will disengage. Also the HT
motor will trip

In Case of low oil flow

1. The scopp will disengage
2. oil pump will keep on running. But will change over after 20 secconds
3. .Main HT motor will keep on running in scoop disengaged condition
In case of oil high temperature
1. Scoop will disengage
2. Oil pump will trip
3. Main motor will trip

2. Torque limit switch not operated
3. Hand wheel limit switch not operated
4. Both position 1 & 2 limit switch not operated
5. No over load from the motor
6. Feeder healthy signal from the electrical module

Flap gate Interlocks

• If the up stream conveyor is running flap gate cannot be operated.
• If the up stream conveyor is in Maintenance Mode, automatic changeover of flap gate to the
other position and return to original position upon stopping / tripping of conveyor is blocked..

Maintenance Mode:Operation of Flap gates

In maintenance mode operator can operate the flap gate from the Local push button box. Local
push button box contains two green color push buttons for position 1 & 2 and one mushroom head
push button for stop.
In the maintenance mode all the process interlocks are bypassed.
