Development of hardware and software of automatic process control systems for technological processesOne of the major areas of business of “Stromizmeritel” Closed JSC is development and manufacturing of the automatic process control systems (PCS) for production of glass mixture, building materials and different multicomponent mixtures. Centralized or distributed control systems developed by “Stromizmeritel” Closed JSC are built on the basis of either PC-compatible controllers “IPC”, 8000 series, or Programmable Logic Controllers “Siemens”, “B & R”, “Festo”, “Omron”, “Twido”. The control systems allow displaying the process on the monitor screen, archiving and recording all operations, troubleshooting and stating faults and malfunctions, as well as actualizing control algorithms of weighing-dosing and other process equipment. A flexible tuning scale put into the system enables the operation personnel which does not have special skills quickly master the operation of PCS and essentially expands its functional capabilities. Together with the industrial microprocessor controllers of different foreign producers we use the following automation aids developed and manufactured by “Stromizmeritel” Closed JSC as a part of the PCS hardware and local control systems of the autonomous process units and separate weighing dosing units: - weighing indicator WT-4007 (is used as a secondary sensing element in the dosing weighing device); - weighing terminal WT-4008 (is used for preparation of multi-component mixtures by means of a strain-measuring truck scale); - control unit BU-1051 (БУ-1051) (is used in flowmeters and systems of continuous weighing and dosing); - weight controller KV-1052 (КВ-1052) (is a fully self-contained unit of weighing and dosing process control); - control unit BU-1053 (БУ-1053) (is used as a part of the differential dosing units); - normalizer – 1580 of strain-gage sensors signals (sensitive amplification and conversion of signals from the strain-gage sensors); - converter – 6000 of strain-gage sensors signals (analog signals conversion to digital code). Apart from these hardware components of the PCS for production of multi-component mixtures “Stromizmeritel” Closed JSC manufactures: microprocessor control panels for air-actuated pumps, operating in the raw material pneumatic transport lines; automation systems of the drum-type driers; control systems for the thermophysical testing and ion-exchange glass strengthening lines; as well as other automation and controlling means. |
