Scenario
A dedicated hazardous waste processing center in a hospital environment requires precise, safe, and automated control over the incineration of medical waste to comply with strict health and environmental regulations.
System Configuration
ARMxy main controller
X-DI input board (for incinerator door and emergency status detection)
Y-AO analog output board (for controlling secondary combustion temperature)
Implementation Details
The X-DI board handles:
Door interlock circuits to ensure incinerator doors are properly closed before operation.
Emergency stop button status to immediately halt the process if needed.
The Y-AO board regulates:
The gas flow control valve with 4–20 mA output to adjust the secondary combustion temperature precisely.
OpenPLC is used to rapidly develop and deploy the control logic, offering flexibility for on-site or remote updates.
The system automatically logs operational data, meeting environmental authority requirements for traceability and compliance.
Advantages
Health and sanitation departments can remotely access real-time incineration temperature curves.
Fully compliant with the “Regulations on the Administration of Medical Waste”.
Reliable safety mechanisms and scalable architecture ensure efficient and secure waste handling.
This solution combines industrial-grade hardware with the flexibility of OpenPLC to deliver a smart, compliant, and future-proof incineration control system.
