3.6. CONTROL AND MONITORING DEVICES<br />

The sterilizer is controlled by means of a system constituted by a PLC. The PLC manages the main actuation systems, supervises<br />

and monitors the hardware that constitutes the machine, and organizes the activation of the operating sequences (phases) that relate<br />

to the specific programmed sterilization “cycle”.<br />

The PLC, also termed “process controller” CVB2000 hereafter, has been developed specifically to ensure automatic operation of<br />

Fedegari’s saturated-steam vertical sterilizers of the <strong>FVA</strong>/<strong>A1</strong> series. The system is based on a SITEK PLC, which is integrated into<br />

the operator panel, to which it is connected by means of a serial port. It is extremely simple to use even for personnel lacking<br />

information technology skills and allows to start and control the sterilization cycle stored in memory. All information regarding the<br />

cycle is also printed by a small optional process printer, which is located below the operator panel.<br />

The machine is also provided with control/monitoring components, which complement the tasks of the PLC independently of the PLC<br />

itself for certain control/monitoring functions.<br />
