Abstract: A modular process platform system comprises a frame, a machine base mounted to the frame and an input/output panel mounted to the frame. The input/output panel has a plurality of mappable input/output connectors configured for receiving mating connectors from a machine capable of being mounted to the machine base and from a controller for controlling operation of the machine. The system is configurable for accommodating any of a plurality of different machines having different input/output configurations, without requiring input/output wiring customized to a particular input/output configuration.

Abstract: A door apparatus (10) having a door frame (12) providing a lower central opening (14) extending substantially across a lower central portion (14) of the frame (12), and an upper central opening (17) extending substantially across an upper central portion (16) of the frame (12) above the lower central portion (14). A movable window (18) is included mounted to the frame (12) for movement between a raised position and a lowered position. A guide assembly (21) is included cooperating with the movable window (18) for guidance thereof between the raised position and the lowered position, and a drive mechanism (22) coupled to the guide assembly (21) to selectively drive the movable window (18). The guide assembly (21) and the drive mechanism (22) are both adapted for operation and mounting along a portion of the periphery of the frame lower central portion (14) substantially out of visual obstruction of the lower central opening (13).
