Congratulations to @John Fuhrman at Thorp Controls! John is the winner of the Pro-face Automate America Challenge! John's application showing how a Pro-face HMI helps facilitate a Grain Bin sweep controller provided all the pieces needed to showcase the power, flexibility, and versatility of GP-Pro EX HMI Development Software! Unique features include: - The operator can set the active auger target current by selecting the grain type and moisture rather than having to enter a numerical target by memory or per-use test. (Uses recipe feature of the LTM4000.) - An inductive rotary position sensor monitors the sweep auger position in the bin. - Bin configuration parameters entered during installation dynamically modify the bin illustration for meaningful, intuitive operation in run time. A display that is rich in animation helps the operator understand what is going on with his bin emptying process easily and at-a-glance. Key animations include: - Positions of bin features such as ladder, door, and floor auger exit are shown in actual relative locations for the specific bin, based on bin configuration parameters. - Current position of the floor auger is shown in real-time based on the rotary position sensor input. - Slippage of the pusher wheel is shown via animation, as is status of the Auger motor. - Measured auger motor current relative to target is shown on screen.
