Automation specialist Kinesys has provided all the control equipment for the new grid arrangement at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium.
The stadium wanted the option of re-configuring the available space as a smaller, arena style venue to enable them to stage a greater variety of shows. Kinesys was asked to deal with this area of the project by lead contractors Blackout.
The largest section of the project was a moving mother grid system that has been installed into one half of the Stadium's opening roof. It consists of 18 five tonne Liftket motors permanently fixed to hanging points in the roof. Kinesys installed all the wiring, designed a complete cable tray system and designed and built all the required control cabinets into the roof itself.
The system is computer controlled at pitch level and data communications and Emergency Stop control are both handled via a wireless Ethernet connection to the control cabinet in the roof.
Once the external roof is closed, the hoists are lowered. A Total Solutions T2 grid - supplied via Blackout - is then constructed in position on the deck and attached to the hoists. The hoists raise the grid out to position, stopping at preset intervals to level it out if needed.
Kinesys also supplied Blackout with two 8-way standard motor controllers and a 16-way motor controller, which are used in the stadium to control the draping trusses. The entire width of the stadium can be quickly and easily masked,
