I. Core Functions of Atlas Copco MK5
Operation Status Monitoring
Real-time display of key parameters of the air compressor: exhaust pressure, exhaust temperature, operating current, motor speed, loading/unloading status, cumulative running time, etc.
Display of lubricating oil level, filter status (such as oil filter, air filter, and the degree of blockage of oil filter core), and remind of maintenance cycle.
Operation Control
Support for manual / automatic mode switching: In manual mode, the air compressor can be started and stopped directly; in automatic mode, it automatically loads/unloads according to system pressure, saving energy and reducing consumption.
Emergency Shutdown Button: In case of sudden faults, quickly cut off the power supply to protect the equipment.
Fault Diagnosis and Alarm
Built-in sensors monitor abnormal conditions (such as overheating, overpressure, motor overload, low oil level, filter blockage, etc.) in real time, trigger audible and visual alarms and display specific fault codes.
Store historical fault records for easy traceability and problem investigation.
Parameter Setting and Adjustment
Can set target pressure range, loading/unloading pressure threshold, automatic shutdown time, etc., to adapt to different gas usage requirements.
Some models support remote control of parameter synchronization (requires a communication module).
Energy Saving and Protection
Have an automatic shutdown function when the air compressor is in idle mode to avoid unnecessary energy consumption.
Electrical protection such as overcurrent, overvoltage, undervoltage, and mechanical protection such as high temperature and low oil pressure to prevent equipment damage.
II. Components of Atlas Copco MK5 Panel Display screen
Most of them have LCD or LED screens, which clearly display operating parameters, status icons and fault information. Some models also support backlight adjustment to adapt to different ambient light conditions.
Operation keys
These include the start/stop key, mode switching key, parameter setting key, confirm/cancel key, up/down navigation key, etc. The operation logic is simple and intuitive. Indicator light
The operation indicator (green), alarm indicator (yellow), fault indicator (red), etc., quickly indicate the current status of the equipment.
Interfaces and expansion modules
Reserved communication interfaces (such as RS485, Modbus), which can be connected to the central monitoring system to achieve cluster control of multiple air compressors.
Some models support external pressure sensors, temperature probes, etc., to expand the monitoring range.
Control motherboard
The core processing unit, which receives sensor signals, executes control logic, drives the display and alarm devices, and is the "brain" of the panel.
III. Atlas Copco MK5 Usage and Maintenance Precautions
Daily inspection: Regularly clean the surface of the panel to avoid oil stains and dust covering that affects operation or heat dissipation.
Parameter locking: Important parameters (such as pressure upper limit) are recommended to be protected by passwords to prevent accidental operation.
Fault handling: When an alarm occurs, prioritize troubleshooting based on the fault code (refer to the equipment manual), and do not force startup.
Software upgrade: Some intelligent models support upgrading the control program through a USB drive or remotely, optimizing the operation logic.
