Software and technical implementation of intelligent energy-saving control systems based on industrial controllers

Abstract

Automation and control systems of technological objects are widely used in almost all industries currently. They allow continuous monitoring of the main operating parameters of the object, as well as provide a synthesis of control actions to achieve the best performance indicators of the technological installation, both in terms of performance and energy saving. Therefore, the problem of developing systems for optimal energy-saving control is very significant and relevant. The article deals with the issues of software and hardware implementation of energy-saving systems for managing complex technological objects. The generalized structure of the energy-saving control system software, obtained by decomposing the system into separate functional subsystems and program modules, is presented. The proposed software structure is largely universal and invariant to various control objects. The main components of the technical support of the energy saving control system are considered. A practical example of software and hardware implementation of the system of energy-saving control of dynamic modes of a group of heat engineering devices (multi-section roller-belt drying units) based on industrial controllers is shown.
