16-channel discrete output module for ControlLogix rack I/O. Each channel can be commanded on or off and reports online and fault status. Only externally readable tags (Rack0SlotN.*) are exposed.

32-channel discrete input module for ControlLogix rack I/O. Each channel reports its current value, online status, and fault status. Only externally readable tags (Rack0SlotN.*) are exposed.

Controller-owned system-status surface shared by every controller type. Exposes the platform's heartbeat and health tags — scan counter, first-scan flag, scan-cycle time, aggregate comms health, and controller fault — as a cross-platform parity tag set.

Allen-Bradley ControlLogix controller module. Exposes wallclock time and HMI command tags for alarm reset. Scan performance tags are not externally accessible (Controller_Program has ExternalAccess=None).

EtherNet/IP communication adapter module for ControlLogix rack I/O. Provides network connectivity and module health status. Only externally readable tags (Rack0SlotN.*) are exposed.

Phoenix Contact PLCnext controller. Exposes GDS PORT variables from IEC 61131-3 or C++ programs via OPC-UA. The vPLCnext CONTROL 1000 variant runs as a Podman container for development and simulation.

A remote IO rack connected via industrial Ethernet (EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, or Modbus TCP). Provides connection status and diagnostics for the remote chassis. Individual IO modules within the rack are represented as separate device instances.

VFD-driven apron feeder drawing ROM feed from a bin onto the feed conveyor. A materials-handling specialisation of the VFD motor — speed setpoint, ramp and drive state machine unchanged — with a downstream interlock (never feed a stopped belt) and no-material-flow supervision that is active only once the feeder is confirmed running above a minimum speed. The tonnage rate comes from a separate belt weightometer instance.

Troughed belt conveyor with a direct-on-line or VSD drive. The controller composes the VFD motor state machine and adds the belt protections — pull-cord, belt drift, belt slip and plugged discharge chute — plus a pre-start warning that runs before the drive is energised. Protection inputs are healthy-when-true: an unhealthy protection blocks the start permissive while stopped and trips the drive while running.

Belt weigher measuring the tonnage rate on a conveyor and integrating a running total. The controller filters and clamps the acquired rate and integrates only while the belt is running on good-quality data — a bad input (instrument fault, over-range, negative rate) freezes the total and latches a fault. The total is reset by a confirmed, audited maintenance command accepted only while the belt is stopped.

Rock crusher or breaker drive. The controller composes the motor state machine and adds current-based supervision — a starting inrush window, an overload trip and sustained-high-load choke detection — plus a discharge-path interlock that stops the crusher when the downstream path is unavailable. Bearing temperature and vibration stay as separate sensor instances so trip limits and trends remain per-measurement.

Industrial temperature measurement (RTD/thermocouple via analog input) with engineering-unit scaling. Typical duties: bearing temperature, process temperature, winding temperature.

Gravity transfer chute between conveying and crushing stages, instrumented with a blocked-chute detector (tilt switch or microwave). Blockage is the primary protection signal: the upstream feed’s plugged-chute permissive consumes the debounced Blocked output. A chute has no actuator and no commands; the controller debounces the raw detector and reports its quality.

Vibrating sizing screen. The controller composes the motor state machine and adds vibration supervision with independent warning and trip limits, and blocked-deck protection that is inhibited until material has arrived on the deck. A blocked deck removes the start permissive, and a sustained block trips a running screen.

Machine vibration measurement (velocity, RMS) for rotating-equipment condition monitoring. Typical duties: crusher and mill bearings, fan and pump monitoring per ISO 10816 zones.

Dense-medium cyclone in the wet circuit of a coal preparation plant. A passive process unit with no actuator and no commands: the controller evaluates the feed permissive (feed pump running and medium density in band), a bounded cut-point proxy and the overflow/underflow split direction. Feed start and stop belong to the mapped feed pump.

Wet drum magnetic separator recovering magnetite medium from the dense-medium circuit’s dilute streams. The controller composes the drum drive (start, stop, feedback timeout, fault, reset) and reports medium recovery efficiency, with a drum-stall flag and a delayed low-recovery flag that is suppressed while the separator is unloaded.

Product stockpile with its integrated loadout gate. The controller derives inventory from level and capacity, raises the level thresholds, and composes the loadout gate — travel, timeout, limit switch and external-fault semantics shared with the motorised valve. Opening is gated by the loadout permissive (level at or above minimum, gate healthy, external interlock good) while close and stop stay available fail-safe. Tonnes totals are supplied measurements.

Tailings and fines thickener. The controller composes the rake drive and adds torque protection — a delayed high-torque lift with hysteresis, and a delayed high-torque trip that latches a fault, removes the rake run command and keeps the lift requested — plus the clamped flocculant dose demand and the underflow-pump permissive. The underflow pump is a separate pump instance that consumes the permissive.
