This paper presents a study on pull cord switch system which is employed in various industry for emergency stop of the equipments. In this paper, a new method for operation position detection of pull cord switch is suggested which is based on sensing operation position by detecting input resistance variation due to switching operation of pull cord switches with respective ohmic resisters. Moreover, this paper proposes a resistor circuit structure in order to improve recognition rates. Finally, this paper treats a system where such operating switches can be read by PLC.

This paper presents a study on pull cord switch system which is employed in various industry for emergency stop of the equipments. By using power line communication(PLC) technique, in this paper, a new method for operation position detection of pull cord switch is suggested without complicated wiring of separate cables which utilize only 2 lines. Also, using control function of PLC IC, a reset signal for each switch reset can be implemented in the switch status control/sensing device. Finally, this paper shows validity and practical applicability of the proposed operating position sensing system of pull cord switch by implementing the system and revealing the response time and signal through the PLC line.

It is estimated that about 2,515 persons have been injured by conveyor for the past five years(2013 ~ 2017). Conveyors used in various industrial sites for transporting iron ore, coal, courier goods, etc., have various incidents such as a worker putting on or pulling a part of the body or work clothes on the driving part during maintenance. It is necessary for preventing similar accidents to conduct various researches. In order to propose the basis for revising laws and standards for the safety standards of the full cord switch to prevent conveyor accidents, this study compares Korea's Industrial Safety and Health Law (KISHL) with those of IEC, EN, Canada, and Australia. In addition, surveys of conveyor use plant and full cord switch domestic and foreign manufacturers was conducted. In this study, domestic and overseas related laws and technical standards compare and analyze to prevent conveyor accidents. In addition, we propose extension of safety certification for full code switch, establishment of safety inspection standard, and improvement of working method regulation through actual working condition investigation. It can be used as a basis for revising the occupational safety and health regulation and related notices, and thus contributing to enhancing the safe atmosphere of the conveyor business and improving the safety consciousness of the concerned persons.

벨트 컨베이어 설비에서 비상사태 발생 시 비상 정지 동작을 수행하는 풀 코드 스위치(Pull Cord Switch)는 동작 된 스위치의 위치 파악이 어려워 설비 정지시간을 길어지게 하여 막대한 손실을 발생시키게 한다. 이를 해결하기 위해 전력선을 이용한 방법, 단방향 무선통신을 이용한 방법 등이 제안되어 사용되고 있으나, 본 연구에서는 Zigbee 기반의 무선 센서 네트워크를 이용하여 벨트 컨베이어 시스템의 풀 코드 스위치 동작 상태를 실시간 모니터링 할 수 있는 시스템을 제안하고 운용자가 시스템의 장애상태, 위치를 좀 더 다양한 인터페이스를 통하여 감시 할 수 있는 모니터링 시스템을 구현하였다.

풀 코드 스위치(Pull Cord Switch)는 컨베이어 벨트를 비상 정지시키기 위한 스위치로, 정지된 스위치 또는 미 복귀 스위치의 위치를 파악하는 문제가 시스템 가동시간과 밀접한 관계를 가지고 있다. 현재 전력선을 이용한 방법, 단방향 무선통신을 이용한 방법 등이 사용되고 있으나, 별도의 유선가설이나 통신장애 등의 문제점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 USN(Ubiquitos Sensor Network)을 이용한 상태모니터링시스템을 제안하고 그 가능성을 보였다.

Recently, 3D printing technology has been applied to make a concept model and working mockup of an industrial application. On the other hand, this technology has limited applications in industrial products due to the materials and reliability of the 3D printed product. In this study, the components of a full cord switch module are proposed as a case of a 3D printed component that can be used as a substitute for a short period. These are hub-driven and lever lockup components that have the structural characteristics of breaking down frequently in the emergency operating status. To ensure the structural strength for a substitute period, research of structure optimization was performed because 3D printing technology has a limitation in the materials used. After optimizing the structure variables of the hub-driven component, reasonable results can be drawn in that the safety factors of the left and right switching mode are 1.243 (${\Delta}153.67%$) and 3.156 (${\Delta}404.96%$). The lever lockup component has a structural weak point that can break down easily on the lockup-part because of a cantilever shape and bending moment. The rib structure was applied to decrease the deflection. In addition, optimization of the structural variables was performed, showing a safety factor of 7.52(${\Delta}26%$).
