The model uses specific multilevel interconnection (Internet/Ethernet - ASI bus) as an example of a higher level of communication between automation systems. The model consists of three interconnected reservoirs where the fluid levels are controlled. Height of the fluid column is measured by modern capacitive sensors and regulated at a constant level by actuators (pump and valves). Inputs and outputs of the system are connected to the central unit, PLC Simatic S7-200 from SIEMENS. Software tools correspond to the type of PLC, specifically a development environment STEP7 - Micro/Win is used. Data transfer from the central unit to the PC server of LABI system is via the LAN/Ethernet and OPC server software.","PeriodicalId":232418,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Process Control (PC)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131718043","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Processing of the reactor is influenced by various uncertainties as e.g. measurement noise, varying parameters, disturbances, and conventional control may not lead to satisfying control performance. The control performance was investigated using simulation of control.

The mathematical modeling and computer simulations are tools widely used nowadays for their advantages over the experiment on the real system. The mathematical model of the surveyed isothermal reactor is described by the set of five ordinary differential equations which could be easily programmed and solved by mathematical software, e.g. Matlab. The paper shows a procedure for designing and controlling of this type of the reactor. The design of an adaptive controller uses a polynomial approach together with the linear-quadratic approach and the spectral factorization. It means that this controller satisfies basic control requirements. The adaptivity of the system is satisfied by the recursive identification of the external linear model.","PeriodicalId":232418,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Process Control (PC)","volume":"96 10","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114023225","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They can bring huge energy and material savings and increase product quality. In this paper, the employment of running discrete Fourier transform (RDFT) in CLPA field is discussed. The first part of the paper documents the development of new RDFT function block which is suitable for CLPA. The paper focuses on implementation aspects whose aim is to minimize the number of arithmetic operations and to avoid numerical errors which are cumulated in many algorithms when running over longer time period. Then three RDFT applications are introduced. They are mostly dedicated to CLPA area: The changes in RDFT output help to detect increasing valve stiction or reveal a cause of oscillations in the loop. RDFT can be also used for continuous monitoring of process changes at particular frequencies. The most advanced problem presented is the estimation of special performance indices. More specifically, key samples of sensitivity function are gained and compared to the reference ones. Inspired by the model free design techniques, only a minimum a priori information about the process is assumed. The authors believe that the presented ideas will be suitable for both academic and industrial sphere.","PeriodicalId":232418,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Process Control (PC)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133978401","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The reactor and kinetic models have been identified by using both laboratory-scale and pilot-scale measurements. Many operating conditions such as coolant temperature, feeding rate, inlet pressure and temperature have great influence on the yield of acrolein and also on the bed temperature which are two very important parameters. More specifically, the coolant temperature and feeding rate are the two most important parameters for the acrolein production. With a set of different feed rates, the coolant temperature and the reactor inlet temperature were optimized to maximise the yield of acrolein for a given reactor length and inlet pressure. There was an optimal feeding rate for the maximum yield of acrolein. The study of the influence of number of the cooling sections with different temperatures shows that there was no significant improvement in the yield of acrolein.","PeriodicalId":232418,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Process Control (PC)","volume":"33 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123519724","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
