PLC Control Panel: Automation for Reliable Medical Vacuum Operation

The PLC Control Panel is an essential automation component designed specifically for operating medical vacuum plants. This unit functions as the central control system, coordinating the activity of vacuum pumps to ensure continuous and efficient suction in clinical environments.

By offering fully automatic management features, the panel minimizes manual intervention and enhances overall system reliability.

Fully Automated Control for Medical Use

The PLC Control Panel is produced fully automatic, eliminating the need for manual operation in standard suction procedures. This feature ensures uninterrupted pump operation and real-time system coordination in critical areas such as intensive care units and surgical suites.

The automation also includes fault detection and system status indicators, which allow for quick responses to any operational issue.

Equal Aging Function for Pump Longevity

One of the key technical benefits of the PLC Control Panel is its equal aging feature. This function operates the pumps in an alternating sequence, so each unit runs for approximately the same number of hours over time.

This balanced usage prevents overworking individual pumps, reducing mechanical wear and increasing the overall service life of the vacuum system.

Soft Start for Reduced Pump Wear

The panel also features a soft start function, which ensures that pumps are activated gradually instead of all at once. This prevents sudden electrical surges and mechanical strain, both of which can shorten pump lifespan and increase maintenance requirements.

By minimizing startup shocks, the PLC Control Panel protects internal pump components and supports long-term system integrity.

Centralized Monitoring and Control

Installed in a central technical area, the panel allows facility managers and technicians to oversee system performance from a single interface. Parameters such as pump status, fault history, runtime, and alarms are all displayed on a digital screen.

This centralized visibility improves system oversight and enables proactive maintenance, reducing the risk of unexpected failures.

Simplified Integration with Medical Vacuum Plants

The PLC Control Panel is designed to integrate seamlessly with new or existing Tecnomed vacuum systems. It connects directly with vacuum pumps, bacterial filters, tanks, and other components, ensuring smooth communication and control.

Thanks to its compact structure and straightforward wiring system, installation is fast and does not require extensive modification to the existing layout.
