Distributed Control System for Agrotechnical Processes Using Customizable Procedural Regulations

Abstract

Nowadays, the technical and technological capabilities achieved in the field of agriculture permit to implement quickly convertible (adaptive) crop production systems. This, along with increased efficiency, also greatly complicates the management process. Automated control systems (ACS) with adaptive properties are needed. The concept of creating an ACS assumes the implementation of the principle of modularity and flexible changes in the structure of the management hierarchy, powers, tasks and functions for geographically distributed decision-making centers and executors. Key technologies in the design of such ACS are: synthesis of a temporary control loop from geographically distributed elements and synthesis of procedural regulations for a decision-making center included in the temporary control loop. The article formulates the problem of synthesis of procedural regulations in the form of a tensor transformation problem of the original electrical network (library of procedures) into a network with specified properties. A method for obtaining the tensor equation of transformation of the original network is presented based on the requirements for the composition of the input and output data of the synthesized procedural regulations. The solution obtained after tensor transformation has the form of a matrix of connections and a vector of voltages on the intermediate coils of the original electrical network (library of procedures). This forms structural links for the synthesized procedural rules. The demonstrated approach can be extended to solve a wide range of problems of adaptive changes in the structures of organizational management systems.
