Forward relay output (61) of the forward contactor (63); reverse relay output (62) of the reverse 15 It enables the control of the contactor (64). Contactors control the electrical contactor. the supply connections of the motor (80) so that the motor can operate in the desired direction It switches in a way that will provide it. Energizing the forward contactor (63) and the reverse contactor (64) simultaneously Electrical and software interlocking is implemented to prevent this. 20 When the output of one direction is active, the microcontroller (21) This prevents the relay output from being activated. Additionally, there is an extra layer of contactor between the contactors. There is also an electrical interlocking connection. Direction of movement When the change is made, the active direction output is closed and the opposite direction output is secured. It is activated after the switching conditions are met. Thus, the opposite direction 25 A short circuit that may result from the simultaneous operation of the contactors can damage the motor. The risk of damage or mechanical stress is reduced. When the working time is entered from the mobile user interface (70), the said time The information is transmitted to the microcontroller (21) via the communication unit (30) and It is recorded in permanent memory (27). When the specified working time arrives, 30 microcontroller (21) evaluates sensor and safety status and directs accordingly. It activates the output and starts the electric motor (80). Scraper (91) when the relevant limit sensor is reached or the condition specified in the operating program is reached 16 When this occurs, the engine is stopped, put on standby, or its direction of movement is changed. It is being changed. When the user gives a manual forward or backward movement command, the microcontroller (21), first of all, the emergency stop element (53), limit sensors and directional locking It checks whether the situation is suitable for executing the command. 5 If conditions permit, forward relay output (61) or reverse relay output (62) is activated and the electric motor (80) is operated in the desired direction. If the conditions are not suitable, the movement order is not executed and the relevant Status or fault information is sent to the mobile user interface (70). The user will receive the product 10 days after the cause of the malfunction has been resolved and operational safety has been restored. then troubleshooting or restarting via the mobile user interface (70) It can send the command. The microcontroller (21) detects the condition that causes the failure. checking whether it continues and whether the safety conditions are appropriate. In this state, it brings the mechanism back to a ready-to-operate condition. The standalone IP camera (100) shown in Figure 4 is controlled by the control panel (10) 15 By connecting to the created Wi-Fi network, the barn or manure stripping equipment (90) viewing images related to the work area via mobile device The camera (100) provides images to the mobile user interface (70) or a separate display interface suitable for showing camera images It can transfer. 20 Independent IP camera (100), electronic control board (20) image processing It is not a sensor. Camera images are analyzed by the microcontroller (21). not being done; camera (100) animal, obstacle, amount of manure or scraper It does not automatically determine its position and stop the electric motor (80). It does not generate a control signal. The camera (100) only gives the user 25 It provides image transmission and remote visual monitoring capabilities. Thanks to this structure, the existing operation and motor of the fertilizer stripping equipment (90) Local and remote access to the control panel (10) while protecting the control elements. This feature is being added. The user can schedule their work remotely. can adjust, move the scraper (91) forward or backward, 30 It can monitor the start and end states and detect overcurrent, sensor failure, or It can receive situations like cable breakage as separate error notifications. Electrical 17 Insulation, directional interlocking, emergency stop control, and current-based fault detection. with these features, fertilizer stripping equipment can be used in a safer and more controllable manner. It is ensured that it is operational. The electronic control device described in this invention is used in cattle farms. Manufacturing, installation and operation of motor-driven fertilizer stripping equipment 5 It is suitable for industrial application in this field. The mechanism utilizes the existing control system. by removing and replacing the control device in the panels later adaptable (retrofit) or directly into newly manufactured control panels By being integrated, it can be applied to industry under mass production conditions. Electronics control board (20), relay board (22), voltage regulator (23), optocoupler (24), 10 Components such as the communication unit (30) and current measuring unit (40) are known electronic components. It can be manufactured repeatedly using production and assembly techniques.
