ICTS-Full Trial Run and S5S6 & S1S2 Control System Upgrade Fabrication

Today we assembled the S5S6 hardwires control system. Once completed, we tested and founf it OK. This control system is similar to S3S4 except for one relay I use MY4N instead of LY2. The reason is the contact involved is not AC but DC even though I only use two contacts instead of 4 available. The S1S2 work is only for the platform upgrade without big design change. Now I place it on the plywood and the AC connection is not directly to the inverter. Instead I pass it through relay first.

Anyway once all done, we run the full trial. This is the video showing how the trial went through.
Basically it's all OK. However as usual a few upgrade is required, such as :
1- The sachet feeder few switches (RESET, CURT, RUN) should be made available in parallel form where the small switch box can be placed next to packaging machine. This is to ensure that the machine operator don't have to move back and forth just to reset the process once machine failure is happening.
2- The ICTS switches (START/STOP, EMERGENCY SWITCH) should be installed next to packaging as well to avoid delay of restarting the process and to minimize packaging defects.
