Pertsovsky M.I. Integrated automation and optimization; end-to-end data exchange organization at cement works

The paper discusses the problems of cement works modernization and efficiency improvement on the basis of an integrated automation system for equipment monitoring, process control, and plant-wide supervisory control. It summarizes the experience of Automated System Laboratory, outlines generic technological aspects of such systems development, and continues the series of publications [1-5] dedicated to the same subject.

Vlasov S.A., Ghenkin A.L., Nikulina I.V., Kravtsov S.V. Control systems integration in metallurgy

The feature of today metallurgical works operation is the necessity of wider integration of corporate management systems with process controls. This entails the need for developing approaches and tools enabling to accomplish controlling tasks simultaneously with process control, and feedstock, billets, and production handling management subject to plant capacity, resource flow, energy, and other constraints.

Roh Tae-kyun, Diachko A.G., Smirnov O.M. Dynamic modeling of enterprise and innovation projects

The paper discusses a methodology for predictive dynamic simulation of operating plants and innovative projects implementation in universal system time corresponding to the real-life plant in discrete points. Dynamic indicators reflecting both the status of the object under simulation and the usage of technical, human, and other resources.

Fischbach R., Lachmann I., Winnemuth M. To the solution of data migration problems

The migration of “old data” to new information systems alerts to practically any surprise and difficulties at various levels. The paper recommends to use an intermediate data format when transferring data from the old format to the new one. It shows that Python scripting language is the best choice for data transformation into intermediate format. Its application is an opportunity for migration efficiency improvement.

Zakharchenko V.E. Formal description of automated control systems for complex processes and the automation of control algorithms testing

The principles of formal description of automated control systems for complex processes are considered, their drawbacks are analyzed, and a model for process controls description is offered. A case study of the model application in formal description of hydraulic unit controls at Zhiguli HPP is discussed. The possibility of automating the process of control algorithms testing is examined. The design concept of an automated system for algorithms testing based on Siemens toolkit is described.

Akhmedov N. A process control system for boiler units of Kotlas Pulp and Paper Mill’s heat power station operating on 3 fuels

Rakurs Scientific and Production Company has wide experience in the automation of boiler units operating on natural gas, coal, and residual fuels, or only on residual fuel or gas. The task for boiler units automation at Kotlas Pulp and Paper Mill presumed the operation on three fuel types. The plant includes 12 boiler units where 11 are of BKZ-210-140 and BKZ-160-100 types operating on all 3 fuels where natural gas is the main fuel. The paper discusses the design and functions of the automated control system for the boiler unit # 11.

The Swedish subsidiary of SICK/IVP is a world leader in manufacturing unparalleled 3D video cameras enabling the functionalities unattainable by conventional sensors. The paper informs about machine vision basics and lists the Company’s products.

BL67 remote I/O system

Design features and configuration capabilities of Turck’s BL67 modular fieldbus I/O system in IP67 are presented.

Krets M.V. 3xxx Series thermal converters for HVAC systems

The paper overviews the design features of the new DTS3000V thermal converters family and the opportunities of their application in various environments. The devices are standardized for heating market, easy to use and cost-effective as against foreign analogs.

Pal’tsev A.V., Sychev I.V. Quality assessment of digital feeding devices with the help of Sinumerik 840D numerical control system

The paper shows that digital drives enable detailed investigation of static and dynamic characteristics of electromechanical systems without any special equipment. It discusses quality assessment techniques for Siemens Simodrive 611D digital feeding devices operating within the Sinumerik 840D system, where Simo-Com U software is used for precommissioning. The paper addresses the needs of technical staff tuning the devices at the machinery.

Single board computer market trends

Derevyago E.V. Embedded single board computers: a user manual

Single board computer market and applications are overviewed, the novelties of both stand-alone (PC/104, 3.5-inch, MiniITX, EPIC) and non stand-alone (System-on-Module mezzanine computers) embedded computers are discussed.

A race-track for embedded computer technologies

PC/104 Consortium leaders visited Moscow in October 2006. They participated in the seminar dedicated to development and application technologies of embedded computer systems organized annually by MicroMax Computer Intelligence, Inc. The paper presents the interview with Mr. Jonathan Miller, President of PC/104 Consortium President, founder and President of Diamond Systems Corporation, and Mr. Paul Rosenfeld, Vice-President Marketing of Diamond Systems.

Afonin D.Yu. New processors and interfaces in the COM market

Computer On Module (COM) undergo permanent improvements, they accumulate new technologies and occupy adjacent market niches. A remarkable role in this process is being played by Kontron who endowed the industry a family of COM standards. The paper outlines Kontron ETXexpress family (COM Express standard) whose state of the art is featured by the adaptation of new processor architectures and the extension of target applications spectrum.

Akinshin L.G. Kontron EPIC products will reconcile PC/104 market to new technologies

EPIC standard is critically important both for the whole of embedded systems industry and the PC/104 segment. Owing to EPIC, PC/104 users get access to the cutting-edge technologies, while the Embedded market participants can assemble their systems with equal ease as PC vendors.

Filimonov D.A. t-mezon – TEKON’s proprietary processor platform for embedded systems

Though single-board computers market looks quite saturated, COTS vendors permanently face the problem of selecting optimal processors for their products. TEKON had often to choose single-board computers for their products and came to the idea of developing their own processor board family. The paper presents key performance data of the new t-mezon processor platform.
