Approach to Building an Autonomous Cross-platform Automation Controller Based on the Synthesis of Separate Modules

摘要

The paper is dedicated to building a programmable automation controller to execute simple technological tasks (packaging, press, etc.). The proposed approach allows to select the minimum sufficient configuration of the software and hardware platform and application software, depending on the technical task for the controlled object, taking into account the computing capabilities of the platform. It is shown that the cross-platform nature of the proposed solution allows to transfer the kernel of the control system to various platforms without significant alterations in the architecture of the solution, reducing the financial and time costs for designing the final solution. The proposed solution allows the user, on the one hand, to make a choice from the whole variety of technical solutions of one that fully meets the requirements of the task, and on the other hand, the options for eliminating emergency situations associated with the inability of the software and hardware platform to perform the tasks. A practical example of finding a synthesized solution to the control of hydraulic cylinders is also considered.
