Omron ekipmanları, Bilbao Metrosunda daha rahat ulaşım sağlamaktadır

Cenia Lifts ve Thyssen Boetticher tarafından kurulan bir ortak girişim olan UTE, İspanya’nın Bilbao şehrindeki yeni metro hattına 41 adet yürüyen merdivenin tedariği ve montajı için Bask Ulaşım ve Kamu İşleri Bakanlığı ile bir sözleşme imzalamıştır.

Escalators controlled by Omron PLCs The subway network forms a Y figure, and the lines from its 3 farthest points, Plentzia, Santurtzi and Basauri, join at Elorieta Station, in central Bilbao. The project was both large and complex, requiring careful consideration of the subsoil beneath the lines and the unique design characteristics of the city itself.

They are also equipped with standard communication ports, enabling connection to remote control and communications equipment. An open communications protocol allows on-line access to all variables, facilitating the reading and writing of data through the serial port, as well as signal enquiry and override. Programming, editing, and operational monitoring of the I/O signals can all be done remotely from a PC.

Thanks to the integration of a by-pass connection, the network remains unaffected even if a PLC is temporarily disconnected. If a PLC experiences a voltage fault, the escalator shuts down and can only be restarted manually. For added safety, the protection devices that activate the emergency shutdown are integrated directly into the power supply equipment.
