Replacement option for a failed Eagle Controls model CES227
Posted by David Anderson on
The CES227 control module from Eagle Signal Industrial Controls is no longer manufactured. A Nolatron 4480 or 4481 is the closest model but it is not a direct replacement. Have the wiring reviewed by an automation engineer to determine what wiring changes need to be made and to confirm that the necessary functionality is being implemented to maintain safe machine operation. Here is a pdf spec. sheet for the obsolete CES227.

OSHA Guidelines
Posted by David Anderson on
According to OSHA guidelines, Programmable controllers which are used in two-hand start systems shall meet the definition of “control reliability”. This definition states that the controllers shall be constructed so that a failure within the system does not prevent the normal stopping action from being applied to the press when required, but does prevent initiation of a successive stroke until the failure is corrected.
