Kp-300 Operator Controls
The Kp-300 has just a small number of operator controls. Most of these have LEDs
that can be lit under program control, or indicate their current status.
A) E-Stop Button/Keyswitch
These two switches are wired in series. Opening either one will cause an
E-Stop and HPU Stop event on the Kp-300. The beginning of any E-Stop
event stops the HPU (if there is one), disables the Blocking Valve output and
triggers the Smart Brick System to play the E-Stop Show through the Blue
ʻE-Stopʼ Input to the Smart Brick Brain. Calling up the E-Stop show sets the
ʻE-Stop Show Runningʼ output from the Smart Brick System (this must be
programmed into the motion profile of the E-Stop show). This resets the first
of the two E-Stop latches on the Kp-300. At this point you can start the HPU
and any shows that have been enabled in the motion control profile of the E-
Stop Show.
The E-Stop switch has a red mushroom-style cap. Once pushed, the but-
ton latches in the E-Stopped position. To release the cap, it is rotated clock-
wise. The E-Stop button has a spare set SPDT set of contacts available for
your use. Users of Moog electric motion bases can use this switch closure
for the hardware E-Stop input they require.
The Keyswitch is typically used to lock unauthorized users from starting
the HPU or running shows with motion. The Keyswitch can be turned to one
of two positions. The key can be removed in either of these two positions.
The show can be run without motion while the keyswitch is turned off or
the E-Stop button has been pushed in. If you want to disallow shows to be
run at all if there is an E-Stop condition present, you can use the DipSwitch
#3, DipSwitch #4 or DipSwitch #5 to disallow running shows if there is an er-
ror condition.
B) Log Belts Button
Seat belts can be logged at any time that the Show Pause Reset Input
from the Smart Brick System is active. When this input is active, the safety
inputs can be logged by either pressing the Log Belts button or activating the
Remote Log Belts Input by pressing Remote Log Belts Button(s) attached to
it. If you want to automatically log belts from the motion profile, just set the
Remote Log Belts Input for Internal Power and attach the two wires for this
