Sentry Control System 7
Sentry Network Control System Overview
1
The Sentry Control System is a networked system of display panels and machine controllers connected
by fiber-optic cable. This cable is non-conductive and is immune to electrical noise, providing high
quality communications.
Located at each machine is a Machine Controller. This unit performs environment control and
monitoring of the setter or hatcher. All instrumentation and control devices are connected to the machine
controller.
Sentry System displays are not located at each machine. Instead they are strategically located throughout
the hatchery. Any number of displays can be connected to the network; however, a minimum of one is
required for the system to function. Each machine can be accessed from each and every display. This
allows full hatchery monitoring and control from any display connected to the network.
All machine control and performance features are accessed from the display. This display is menu-
driven allowing the operator to change setpoints, cancel an alarm, enter graph data, change alarm
parameters, enter a profile, etc. The numerous features are detailed in this manual.
One and only one display may be setup as a Master Display. This is accomplished by setting a DIP
switch inside of the display panel. The Master Display is the unit that drives the network. It can be
identified by noting the word “Master” in the top left of the screen. There are several special features
that this unit can perform that are not available at other display panels. Features such as password
enabling/disabling can only be performed at the Master Display.
Each unit on the network must have a unique address associated with it. This address consists of a room
number, unit type and unit number, all of which are set up on DIP switches located on the individual
units. The unit type must be set correctly for proper machine operation. The unit type setting for the
various units is outlined below. Unit types 0 to 5 refer to multi-stage machines (tunnel machines); unit
types 6 and 7 refer to all machines; unit types 8 to 11 refer to single-stage (ACI) machines; and unit
types 21 and 22 refer to JM machines. Refer to Appendix C on page 112 for more details on setting the
addresses.

Figure 1: Sentry Control Panel showing Main Screen
The figure above shows the Sentry Control Panel displaying the initial screen, seen when the unit is first
turned on. The current time and date are displayed in the top right corner of the display screen.
The menus for the Display Panel are laid out in a tree format. The root of the menu system is displayed
on the second line of the screen. All actions that relate to a specific machine are located under the
“Machine” menu. Activities related to reporting are located under the “Reports” menu. The “Network”
menu contains all actions pertaining to multiple machines on the network. The “Display” menu allows
the operator to change features on the local display. All graph functions are located under the “Graph”
menu.
To maneuver through the menu structure, the operator moves the cursor (by means of the arrow keys) to
the desired node or menu heading and presses the “ENTER” key. This action will display a branch of the
menu structure. Pressing the “EXIT” key will abort the current screen.
At any point, the “ALARM” key may be pressed. This key is a “go to” key and will place the operator in
the alarm screen. Exiting from the alarm screen will return to the screen where the alarm key was
pressed. The “PRINT SCREEN” key may also be pressed at any time to print a copy of the screen
(called a screen dump) on an attached printer.

Figure 2: Machine State
3.1 Machine State
This branch of the menu
system allows the operator to
monitor and configure various
aspects of machine operation
for individual machines. To
select one of the functions,
move the cursor using the
“UP/DOWN” arrow keys.
Pressing“ENTER”while
‘Machine State’ is highlighted
will bring up the machine
selection screen, allowing the
status of a specific machine to
be viewed. To return to the
root menu, press “EXIT”.
Pressing the “RIGHT” arrow
key will move the menu from ‘Machine’ to ‘Report, and the “LEFT” arrow key will wrap around and
display the menu under
‘Graph’.
After the operator has pressed
“ENTER” from the menu, they
are asked to select the group of
machines they would like to
view. They are then asked
which machine they would like
to view. The cursor can be
moved to the desired machine
using the arrow keys. If the
desired machine is not
currently shown, pressing the
“PAGE UP/DOWN” keys will
display the previous or next
page of machines respectively.
The “HOME” key will move
to the first machine and
“END” will move to the last
machine. If a machine appears to be missing, try the “PAGE UP” key. This may be necessary if the first
machine in the list was previously offline. When the cursor is highlighting the desired machine, press the
“ENTER” key to view the machine status screen.

Figure 4: Operation Summary
This screen displays various
aspects of machine operation
for the selected machine. To
select a different machine, the
user can press “EXIT” to
return to the previous screen
and select another unit, or the
various cursor movement keys
can be used to go to a new
machine without having to exit
the ‘Machine State’ screen.
Pressing the “SELECT” key at
any point brings up a menu of
commonly used functions that
can be used to edit the
configuration of the selected
machine.
The Machine State screen consists of several sections showing information about the selected machine.
Environment
Displays the machine’s temperature, humidity and damper setpoints, and the actual measured temperature
and humidity. These values are always shown in the units selected under the ‘Display’ section of the
main menu. A ‘%’ symbol after a humidity value indicates percent relative humidity (RH) and ‘°’ depicts
degrees wet bulb.
Status
Displays various system statuses, which are different for various machines types (incubators or
hatchers). The ‘Machine State’ at the bottom of the list indicates whether the machine is polled (Active),
not polled (Off), or is in maintenance mode because the fan switch is off (Maint).
Damper Position
A graphic representation of the damper position is shown along with the percentage open in numerical
form. The auto damper on ACI machines indicates the desired position of the damper when actual
humidity is above the setpoint. The auto damper feature is disabled if the damper is set to zero % open.
The arrow indicates whether the damper is opening or closing (the arrow in the figure above indicates
that the damper is opening).
Profile
Displays which profile is active and the number of days into the profile cycle. Days shown are the number
of completed days. If the profile is inactive, the ‘Day in Cycle’ field is blank. If the alarm override is active,
the time remaining in the override is shown in hours at the bottom of the screen.
Alarms
Displays the machine’s first six active alarms. The “CLEAR” key can be used to acknowledge alarms from
this screen. See the ‘Alarm Screen’ section on Page 110 for more information.
