[labnetwork] Interlocks - what do you use?

Wed Aug 1 17:13:01 EDT 2018

Hello,

We are using a homegrown system that is internet based.  We use a 16 
channel IP relay card from IORelay (https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__ncd.io_&d=DwID-g&c=pZJPUDQ3SB9JplYbifm4nt2lEVG5pWx2KikqINpWlZM&r=EhqHy4a2rnA5a4ehzWAAfKveFS3lPv3RmQTaTocONM4&m=J-FeKiTjA9O78rEq6rHYAlsXM0b7IZd-XhQHQbcQIy4&s=4CdktWtzerdRWAfIfGoCDzOJ620ad7HvXPYxA1iCM-o&e=) and 24V Relay In 
Box (RIB) for each tool.  The RIB either provides a closure contact for 
an interlock or provides cord voltage to the instrument (like a 
monitor), whatever is needed.  The enclosure is identical to what 
Adam at UCLA has described (key lock, override switches, indicators).  Our 
software is written in-house so we have a lot of flexibility in the 
interface and the reports generated from the data.  We've had this in 
place for about 9 years and so far it has been great.

We call the system Tool Usage Monitor and Interlock (TUMI).  On the few 
times is has gone down due to internet issues, we tell the users the 
facility has a TUMI ache.

Best Regards,
Brent
