This control system is an advance in sterilization control technology, bringing together years of unrivalled experience, to produce a user friendly, fully automatic control system, to meet and exceed the expectations of even the most demanding laboratories and centres of sterilization.

The controller consists of a wipe clean touch screen based on an industrial PLC controller, combined with a number of analogue and digital input/output modules.

The controller software has been developed for the precision control of autoclaves.

The code is split into well-defined blocks, each of which performs a specific function and has been written in high level language to allow maximum clarity.

Cooling locks                   

  (in accordance with H.S.E. PM73) preventing opening of autoclave above 80oC. (for fluid & discard cycles)

Audible & Visual Alarms       

for Cycle Fault - Cycle Interruption  - Sterilize Failure - Water Low - Door Unlocked

Door Seal                            

 Self Energising / Service independent

Door                                          

The door release is interlocked by both temperature and pressure to ensure all residual pressure has completely and effectively vented to atmosphere before the doors can be opened. The door will retain its positions in the event of failure of any service. The door is thermally insulated to prevent the surface temperature presenting a hazard to operators. The surface temperature will not exceed IEC 61010 requirements. A cycle cannot start until the door is closed and locked. Steam cannot be applied to the chamber unless the door is closed and locked.

Interlocks                    

Safety interlocks are provided, and are achieved by hardware, separate from and additional to the control system. All interlocks are configured to fail-safe and to provide a signal to the control system to indicate that normal operation has been prevented, and to terminate the current cycle. The interlock system is designed so that its function can be tested during routine maintenance. Safety related interlocks are either hard wired or piped. The following safety interlocks are provided: ¨If the door is not closed, the steam supply to the chamber will be isolated ¨If the pressure in the chamber exceeds 0.15 bar the door will remain locked.
