drawer

Hi Johannes, It's a mistake on my part, sorry.
I'm waiting to see if I can get more information from the client.
I'll keep you posted.

Can you please communicate your solution? It would be annoying for us to have spent a lot of time helping colleagues and then receiving no feedback.

Thank you very much.

Please clarify with the client, what function the "drawer" has. All peers are unsure about this.

16:12 Apr 4, 2018 

The link is broken. Can you please cite the relevant part?

I also considered a "tiroir", but could not figure out, what such drawer would serve for. I am still sceptical about this interpretation. Consider the additional context: Drawer position: Operate. How should this be achieved with a simple drawer, if it has no electrical function? And please explain "MCC"! perhaps a acronym for Motor Control Center.

Tony had the right idea. FR: tiroir

Must by a motor-driven gate valve. The corresponding switch should be marked "Gate valve" rather then "Drawer".

There is a picture with the following informations:

Valve 1
STATUS: Off
Drawer Ready
ON1 - OFF - ON2
Operation Switch: Local
Drawer position: Operate
Alarm

I was just wondering if it wasn't "drawer valve"?

Thank you for taking the time to help me. Your remarks will help me, that's for sure!

I read the context again and assume that the "drawer ready switch" may be a device enabling the power supply to the motor. The "drawer" may be the machinery driven by the electrical motor. The question is the type of machinery we are dealing with in order to denominate the switch.

Can you clarify these items with the client?

Thank very much Tony for this, I appreciate.

Then, as I see it, you have two possibilities:

1) This elegctrical control gear is being used (possibly in 'cellules') which can have modules that are 'débrochable' — usually referred to, I believe, as 'withdrawable'; these could be likened to a kind of drawer, I suppose, although I've not personally enqountered that term used with them.
However, it is difficult to see really why it would be important to have some kind of electrical safety interlock preventing the motor from being started if one of these modules were withdrawn — in any case, they usually have their own safety interlocks of various kinds.

2) The 'drawer' is some extermal machine that is going to be driven by this motor — this would make more sense in terms of the electrical interlock (you wouldn't want the motor to start unless the thing it was driving was ready! But this implies that this is some specific system, rather than a general situation — again, this is important context we are missing! Even if you do not know WHAT the system is, you may know if there is a specific one or not?
In any event, you probably have no choice but to ask the customer!
And it does say "as shown below"??

Hi Johannes,
It's an electrical motor, more specifically the electrical motor starter. It's a Motor management system (relays, CPU,...) for industry...

What machinery? What is driven by that drive? What type of energy is used? Why is a drawer used? How does it works?

The technical documentation does not answer these questions...

20:11 Apr 3, 2018 

Is it a electrical motor or an engine? Is it part of a machinery? What machinery? What is driven by that drive? What type of energy is used? Why is a drawer used? How does it works? Etc.

I noticed the following text: Water & Process Tech. Would that be helpful?

09:35 Apr 3, 2018 

Thank you Tony for your comment.
It is a MOTOR MANAGEMENT SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUAL, so it does not provide details on industrial applications, but on system configuration, installation, etc.
I think it's a sensor or relay with a particular function.

I see you have asked the same question again, and my answer to you is the same as before:
I think the sense here is very much going to be determined by the context, which by and large we don't have.
What sort of machine / installation is this on? Does it use some mechanism for 'drawing' something (in)? This could be something iike a steel mill or wire works, where the 'drawing' is some form of 'étirage', for example...
Without this extra context, I think it's mainly a guessing game; unless someone with the right specialist knowledge comes along who is able to guess the context.

Now with this tiny bit of extra context, we have confirmation that this is some kind of physical 'drawer' — but without the wider context, we still can't tell what TYPE of drawer, and hence, how to translate it properly.
If you want us to help you, please give us the material to work with!
