Klimenko K.K. ISO 9000 – problems and solutions

The paper presents a classification of ISO 9000:2000 standards. Fundamental requirements that underlie the quality management system meeting ISO 9001:2002 are formulated. The structure of documents, which describe ISO 9001:2002 standard, are presented. Detailed recommendations to an enterprise on document preparation for getting ISO 9001 quality certificate are also included.

Chadeev V.M. Automation strategy. Part I

Basic ideas are expounded that allow optimizing the automation process owing to rational assignment of work between human individuals and automata subject to minimum labour inputs criterion. The paper shows that such assignment can be realized only at process operation level rather than at the articles level.

Dozortsev V.M., Kneller D.V. A standard computer-based training system for process operators

The paper shows that a computer-based dynamic simulators is a most effective tool for training operative personnel in safe and effective process operation techniques. Objective, functionality and basic components of a standard dynamic simulation system are considered. The CTC-M simulation platform, which implements these functions, is presented.

Stankovsky D.P. Building effective industrial process control systems on the meccano principle

The paper considers the full-scale Delta V process control system, which implements PlantWebTM architecture and takes the advantages of smart equipment and state-of-the-art software products. It shows that Delta V ensures a revolutionary new level of informational integration at the intelligent field device layer and in the whole enterprise. The ease of the system operation and maintenance is emphasized.

Stepanov A.Yu. Process automation at Russia Confectionery Public Corp.

The projects that C-TEK, a Samara (Russia) company, has developed and implemented at Russia Confectionery Enterprise are considered. Block diagrams of the automated control system are presented, the hard-/software employed in the projects is listed.

Zolotaryov S.V. Phocus and Sitex SCADA packages in QNX OS environment

The paper presents the capabilities of Phocus and Sitex SCADA packages with the kernel based on OPUS real-time database in QNX4 OS.

Danilov A.A., Rogov S.L., Stepanov A.A. TREI-5B Series controllers: metrological performance, capabilities, comparison with analogs, outlook

The paper presents comparative information on metrological performance of PLC, which compete actively in Russian/CIS domestic market. The capabilities of TREI-5B-M measuring devices manufactured by the domestic vendor TREI GmbH are discussed; the results of comparisons with foreign analogs and the modernization perspective are also included.

Discussing a subject…
The development of energy conservation systems and equipment

Marchenkov S.N.The reform of electric-power industry in Russia

Key issues of electric-power industry reform in Russia are formulated. The subjects of the reform and their interrelations are revealed. The paper shows that the application of the Automated system of electric power monitoring and accounting at the industrial plants looks rational with a view to purchase cheaper power in the competitive market, reduce its cost and improve its efficiency.

Vol’sky D.B. Automation of enterprise energy supply monitoring and accounting

The necessity of creating integrated multi-level systems for energy supervision and accounting at an enterprise is substantiated. Structure, composition and features of the Teelechannel system are discussed as an example of an integrated solution.

Gherasimov A.G. A universal driver for smart energy meters

Features, performance, application merits and design concepts of universal drivers for smart energy meters are considered.

Zhukov S.A. Energy+ hardware

The paper demonstrates that the Energy+ hardware can be applied with equal efficiency for the development of automated electric power monitoring and accounting systems both in industry and in power engineering. Hardware performance attributes are presented. Economic benefits of Energy+ application at various industrial plants are discussed.

Taiwan MOXA finds a use in Russian energy conservation systems

The paper demonstrates the opportunity of applying BreezeACCESS XL radio modems together with DE-311 asynchronous servers (RS-232/Ethernet converters) from MOXA as part of either automated systems of energy monitoring and accounting or supervisory and process control facilities.

Energy conservation technologies from NANKO Ltd.

The paper considers functions and features of electric power supply dispatching system included into the NANKO-Dispatching complex.

Mordukhovich V.B. The opportunities of building an ASEPMA based on Intellution software as an energy conservation issue

Generalized structure of an Automated system of electric power monitoring and accounting (ASEPMA) of an industrial enterprise is considered. The opportunity of applying Intellution software at all system levels in combination with the hardware from various OEMs is demonstrated.
