Moreover, the wiring of the terminal block of the main control circuit of the equipment is simple and the function is single. When a failure occurs in the equipment control cabinet, it will cause passive repair, and the main control circuit needs to be powered off before repair, affecting the overall operation of the production system.

[0013] First, confirm that the control circuits of the primary and standby devices are de-energized. Then, close the control power switch of the intermediate relay, and switch the transfer switch to the control circuit of the standby device for control. At this time, all normally open points of the intermediate relay are closed, the control circuit of the standby device is powered on, the control circuit of the primary device is de-energized, and the load is powered through the control circuit of the standby device without stopping the machine.
