Abstract: Dynamic operating conditions of a fluid logic integrated circuit module are shown on a front panel circuit schematic diagram with dynamic pressure indicators located for viewing at monitored schematic circuit positions to provide diagnostic information for servicing or monitoring a system sequence. The module comprises a sandwich array of two logic element plate layers with an intermediate taut flexible elastomer diaphragm layer common to a plurality of logic elements spaced on the two logic plates with mating cavity wells for the individual logic elements disposed on opposite sides of the diaphragm. Adjacent one logic element plate is the pressure indicator panel having a foam layer common with a plurality of indicator units, which are connected to preselected monitor points in the module to display the states of the elements and the pressure conditions of the supply fluid sources or input and output channels. A back panel includes a visual circuit connecting diagram for the particular custom circuit showing where to connect hoses between various modular access channels, so that the systems can be connected and put into service on-site by unskilled personnel. A set of indicators thus connected into any particular circuit design is set apart for viewing in position on a schematic circuit overlay on the front panel which blocks out the unused indicators in the module.

Abstract translation: 流体逻辑集成电路模块的动态操作条件显示在具有动态压力指示器的前面板电路示意图上，用于在监视的原理图电路位置处观察，以提供用于维护或监视系统序列的诊断信息。 模块包括具有两个逻辑元件板层的夹层排列，其具有与两个逻辑板间隔开的多个逻辑元件共同的中间拉伸柔性弹性体膜层，其具有用于设置在隔膜的相对侧上的各个逻辑元件的配合腔室孔。 相邻的一个逻辑元件板是具有与多个指示器单元共同的泡沫层的压力指示器面板，其连接到模块中的预选监视点，以显示元件的状态和供给流体源或输入的压力条件 和输出通道。 后面板包括用于特定定制电路的可视电路连接图，示出了在各种模块化接入通道之间连接软管的位置，使得系统可以由不熟练的人员现场连接和投入使用。 因此将连接到任何特定电路设计中的一组指示器设置为分开，以便在前面板上的示意性电路覆盖层上的位置上观看，从而阻挡模块中未使用的指示符。

Abstract: An on-line diagnostic system is provided working conjointly with but not interfering with the operation of a logically controlled industrial control system. Thus binary digital words are displayed at a centralized location for comparison with a scroll chart to indicate irregularities of operations by listing invalid words and to pinpoint correctional techniques with a predetermined servicing recommendation for invalid word combinations. In a preferred embodiment the system is a fluid controlled binary operated cyclic control system provided with logic elements interconnected for automatically progressing through a cyclic operation mode controlling flow paths for working fluid under pressure in a desired sequence to thereby perform a work function. The preferred fluid logic elements comprise a compartment separated into two chambers by a flexible diaphragm which is flexed by pressure differentials to block or open fluid flow paths through the respective chambers. Binary indications as to status of these flow paths are provided as pressure readings at a plurality of key flow path positions thereby producing the binary word information specifying the nature of malfunctions.

Abstract: Pulse actuated binary fluid responsive logic elements are connected in a control system for a fluid flow network operating a fluid responsive mechanism. The logic elements are interconnected to respond to a trigger pulse and automatically sequence through a cycle of operation sensing and responding to fluid pressure conditions at control points in the flow network. A portion of the control points are monitored with diagnostic binary pressure indicators to indicate the status of the network during the control sequence by display of binary words. For correcting malfunctions a comparison chart indicates the nature of invalid words and the corresponding procedure for correcting the malfunctions sensing that word structure, thereby expediting servicing by semi-skilled personnel without detailed knowledge of the system operation.
