Kotov N.A. Automated systems based on SM Series computers

The opportunities of building various-level automated and measuring-informating systems on the basis of SM Series computing systems are considered.

Tverskoy Yu.S., Golubev A.V. The study and analysis of the factors affecting dynamic behavior of control channels of controllers in hard-/software systems

The paper analyses the factors of a microprocessor-based regulatory control system as a part of a full-scale process control system that affect the dynamic behavior of the control channels of controllers. It makes recommendations on design and application of automatic control systems based on network hard-/software complexes.

Automated systems for engine fuel fitting diagnostics based on ICP Electronics equipment

The paper gives a concise description of an automated fuel fitting diagnostics system implemented on the basis of ICP Electronics equipment certified by the State Committee of the Russian Federation for Standardization and Metrology.

Melenevsky B.L. Enterprise management system modernization: Minimizing the risks

The paper makes general recommendations for selecting an ERP-system and for modernizing or installing a process control system.

Serdyukov O.V., Timoshin A.I., Abrukovsky A.A., Skvortsov A.N., Novokhatsky D.A. A process control system for a boiler unit of Biysk Heat Power Station No 1 based on Tornado-M hard-/software system

The paper describes the implementation of a process control system project for a boiler unit of Biysk Heat Power Station No 1 based on Tornado-M hard-/software system. System functions, performance and structure are presented as well as the project implementation stages.

Yefimov A.S. A design constraint model for custom software of automated systems

A design constraint model for custom software tools of automated systems is presented. The paper shows that the model provides a priori information for analyzing the requirements to such custom software tools. It also demonstrates how the set of today’s IT standards can be applied to solving a specific scientific and technical problem.

Dereviago E.V. The two-stage mobilization

Modern philosophy of industrial display system design is considered. Thin Client technology optimizes the ways to solve the problem of remote plant mimics visualization and command entry. The new generation of remote industrial terminals is capable to employ any communication technology, either traditional or wireless. A mobile “process operator” is a compound of PDA and pocket PC hardware, Thin Client software and wireless radio/IR communications.

Vol’sky D.B. New capabilities of process visualization

Structure, design features and functions of Shchit-TM2 control system for dispatcher panels are considered.
