# Industrial Specification: System Control Unit (PLC/HMI)

## 1. Technical Definition
Programmable logic controller and human-machine interface unit for automated control of gas mixing and injection processes

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **24 VDC ±10% (21.6-26.4 VDC) power supply, 0-60°C ambient temperature, 5-95% relative humidity non-condensing**. Failure boundary: **Voltage below 18 VDC causes undervoltage lockout, above 32 VDC causes overvoltage protection trip; temperature exceeding 70°C triggers thermal shutdown; humidity above 95% RH initiates condensation protection**, Mechanism: **Semiconductor junction thermal runaway at &gt;150°C silicon temperature; electrolytic capacitor electrolyte evaporation at &gt;105°C; tin whisker growth on PCB leads to dendritic short circuits at &gt;85% RH**.

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| 24 VDC power supply transient spike exceeding 40 VDC for &gt;100 μs | 8 | DC/DC converter MOSFET avalanche breakdown, resulting in 5 V logic rail collapse | TVS diode (SMBJ26A) clamping at 42.1 V with 600 W peak pulse power, plus ferrite bead EMI filter on power input |
| Continuous ambient temperature of 65°C with 95% CPU load for &gt;72 hours | 8 | CPU junction temperature reaches 125°C, triggering automatic clock throttling to 50% frequency | Aluminum heat sink with 8.5 K/W thermal resistance, plus temperature-controlled fan (NF-A4x20 PWM) activated at 55°C |
