Stopramp

Control Unit for Manual Skids

Stopramp

The Stopramp is a control unit developed by PLC & Process, perfectly suited for the control and safety of manual filling skids. Unlike fully automated systems, the Stopramp does not manage recipes or the automatic opening of general gas valves. Its integration allows a manual skid to be upgraded to a Semi Automated Filling Tool (SAFT). It is compatible with the requirements of the industrial, food, and medical sectors.

Operation & Steps

  • Manual control: The operator manually opens the skid valves before interacting with the interface.
  • Available steps: 3 distinct steps activatable from the touch screen: Filling, Purge, Vacuum.
  • Valves: Ability to integrate a low/high flow valve on the main line, and regulation valves on gas inlets and the purge.

Safety Recommendation

  • Recommended automation: Although designed for manual operations, it is highly recommended to automate at least the vacuum step (and associated valves).
  • Error prevention: This partial automation prevents operator handling errors and significantly increases process safety.

Interface & Security

  • Front panel: Main disconnect, emergency stop, and reset push button (for SIL board).
  • User interface: 10" touch screen with integrated RFID card reader.
  • Safety logic: SIL-3/4 board integrated.
