Signal Tower Lights are signaling devices commonly used in machine tool operations to communicate machine tool status, warning messages and operating instructions. Understanding how Signal Tower Lights communicate is critical to the proper use and maintenance of machine lights. This article will introduce the basic working principle of Signal Tower Lights, signal communication methods and common control methods to help readers better understand and apply the Signal Tower Lights.
Basic working principle:
Signal Tower Light consists of red, yellow and green lights, which indicate different signals through different combinations of brightness and extinction. In general, red indicates a stop or fault state, yellow indicates a warning or standby state, green indicates normal operation or start state. The working principle of Signal Tower Light is based on circuit control and light performance.
Signal exchange method:
Signal Tower Lights have two main types of signal exchange: DC and AC. In DC mode, DC signals are transmitted to Signal Tower Lights through control switches and relays to control the light status. In the AC mode, the phase and frequency of the AC power supply are controlled to control the lighting status. AC mode is relatively more commonly used because it has higher reliability and stability.
Common control methods:
- Manual control mode: control the light on and off state of Signal Tower Light by manual button or switch. The operator can manually switch the color and state of the lights as needed. 2.
- automatic control mode: through the connection with the machine control system, according to the machine status and program logic to automatically control the machine tool Signal Tower Light on and off state. For example, the automatic control system will send a signal to make the red light come on when the machine tool is malfunctioning.
Maintenance and Troubleshooting:
- Periodic Inspection: Periodically inspect the machine tool Signal Tower Light's connecting wiring, switches and relays, and other components to ensure that they are functioning properly.
- Cleaning and Maintenance: Clean the lamps and lamp shades regularly to maintain their brightness and transparency.
- Troubleshooting: When the Signal Tower Light fails, you need to check the components such as power supply, switches and circuits, and repair or replace them.
Signal Tower Light is an important signal indication device, its signal exchange methods include DC and AC, of which AC is more common. Understanding how Signal Tower Lights work and how the signals are exchanged will help you use and maintain them properly. Signal Tower Lights can be used to communicate machine status and operating instructions through manual or automatic control. Regular maintenance and troubleshooting are key to keeping Signal Tower Lights working properly.
