Control and Data-Logging Cabinet
Purpose
Coordinate bounded commands, alarms, safe states, and a traceable record of material, ratio, pressure, flow, purge, and test events.
Operating concept
A rugged controller receives validated sensor inputs, commands only approved actuators, records raw and processed data, and defaults to stop-solids/water-only or full stop as the hazard analysis requires.
Key assemblies
industrial controller; independent emergency-stop chain; manual mode selector; data logger; time source; operator display; network isolation; uninterruptible safe shutdown
Operating sequence
load approved test configuration → verify sensor/calibration state → perform pre-start checklist → run bounded sequence → alarm and safe-state on fault → lock record → export signed test package
Instrumentation
calibration state; time-synchronized data; mode and alarm history; operator acknowledgment
Safeguards
sensor failure must not defeat mechanical protection; preserve raw data; separate research controls from deployment authority
Failure modes and mitigations
software mode error; sensor failure; cyber/network exposure; loss of power; overreliance on automation
Variants
portable pelican-case controller; trailer cabinet; station control room; robot controller; air-gapped laboratory logger
Validation gates
calibration check; fault-injection test; data-integrity review; qualified protocol approval
Claim boundary
CLAIM BOUNDARY: No certified design, validated recipe, performance guarantee, regulatory approval, or authorization for uncontrolled-fire use is represented.
Unverified concept for qualified research. Not certified equipment, not a validated formula, not fabrication instructions, and not authorization for active-fire use. Individual conventional components are not claimed as separately invented.
