A software and hardware complex for debugging of the applied software of the automated system of optimization of loading of in line transport line bulks

The article concludes the authors' publications related to the development and use of math models of processes concerning transferring of bulk materials through flow-transport lines (FTL) as a basis for the development and preparation for the implementation of effective automatic control systems (ACS) downloading them. The paper describes the implementation of program-technical complex as a medium for half natural modeling of FTL. Its main objective ? debugging of application software of corresponding subsystems of ACSTP. Thus, as an example of ACS is considered an automated system of load optimization (ASLO) FTL grain. Such ASLO provide their work in energy-efficient modes of maximum achievable performance and, at the same time, prevention of accidents and emergency shutdowns of FTL. The relevance of this complex is due to the fact that the structure of the grain elevators FTL is unique and due to complex algorithms of ASLO. Furthermore, adjustment of ASLO is connected with the work in the vicinity of FTL emergency modes. Application of the complex allows to ensure the highest level of readiness of application software of ASLO. Key elements of the complex: a) the medium of simulation of digital modeling FTL in real time using the PC with the cards containing I / O discrete and analog signals; b) close to the real process control actuators of ACSTP; c) computer with SCADA and network adapter PROFIBUS DP, S7-300 controller with software implementing the management of PTL. The complex was used for the final debugging of control algorithms and application software of ASLO FTL shipment of grain elevator in Khmelnik (Ukraine)
