Automated process control system

Appointment

ACS – An automatic control system provides control, management and monitoring of the technological process of a complex technological line. The main equipment is located in control cabinets.

Automatic control systems ensure trouble-free operation of equipment and maintenance of the technological process in optimal modes.

Characteristic

• Control of the line equipment will be implemented on the cabinet doors using buttons with all the necessary locks and permissions, with indication of the operation of mechanisms and alarm signaling.
• Monitoring equipment operation and accidents, monitoring all line sensors (position, level, temperature, etc.).
• Operating and adjustment mode.
• Control cabinets are included with the line and are not sold separately.
• To operate the software, you must have a PC with the following minimum device characteristics:
  • monitor: LCD, 24 inches diagonal with a resolution of at least 1920*1080, widescreen;
  • processor: 2500MHz;
  • RAM: DDR3 2048Mb;
  • hard drive: 40Gb;
  • other: keyboard, mouse, network card.

After starting the software, an image called the main screen appears on the PC monitor. The interface elements presented on the screen are: mnemonic diagram, menu bar, buttons for opening route windows, power status bar.

The principle of operation

All line mechanisms are launched in a technological sequence to ensure the operation of any route. The route is the path of the product through the mechanisms as it moves along the line. Starting mechanisms according to the technological sequence means turning them on from last to first according to the technological scheme, stopping – from first to last.

If an accident occurs in any mechanism, all mechanisms before the emergency one (along the technological chain) will be stopped instantly, and mechanisms after the emergency one – with a delay to release the product. The line machinery will stop instantly when you press the emergency stop button.

Advantages

• Separate line equipment has its own control cabinet.
• All control rooms are united by a common automated control system and are located in the operator’s compartment.
• Allows you to optimize management processes, reducing the time and resources spent on tasks.
• Provide more accurate and faster decision-making based on analysis of large amounts of data, which improves the quality of management.
• Reducing the influence of the human factor: The human factor is one of the main sources of errors and problems in management. ACS minimize this risk because they are not susceptible to fatigue, errors, and shortcomings of human perception.
• Reducing personnel costs.
• Allows you to work with large volumes of data and manage complex systems.
