Developing a Control System for Emergency Situations in the Automated Manufacturing Line of Wood Briquettes

Abstract

The conducted research describes the design of production lines with pneumatic, partly pneumatic, electrical and other types of control implementation and analyses two control system cases. The first one of emergency breaking and design of an additional control system for emergency regulation of the production line is based on a direct regulation principle. The second case of the factory comprises a number of wood briquette automated production lines and is based on the application of control networks for industrial process control and alarming. The paper discusses advantages and disadvantages of control approaches.
