Development of a Process Automation System for Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning for the Food Industry on the Basis of Honeywell Equipment

Abstract

Currently, the development of industrial automation makes it possible to implement high-precision control systems that consider the dynamic properties of complex objects. The construction of distributed control systems based on modern software products provides decentralized management of technological processes. The modernization of existing control systems with the help of modern industrial equipment makes it possible to increase the productivity of enterprises and safety at work. This study is devoted to the development of an automated control system for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning processes for the food industry. In this study, a heat exchanger was selected as the control object. A mathematical model of the control object for stability, controllability, and observability was investigated. A PID regulator was synthesized, and its coefficients of the PID regulator were obtained. A comparative analysis of the behavior of the system dynamics at different regulator coefficients was carried out. The results of the modeling and experiments were carried out using real industrial equipment at the Honeywell laboratory at JSC KBTU. Software implementation was carried out using the Experion PKS distributed control system. The configuration of the C300 controller is presented. A Safety Instrumented System (SIS) was developed for the safe and trouble-free operation of the system. SIS was also developed using the Safety Manager and Safety Controller tools. Risk reduction factors (RRF) and Safety Integrity Level (SIL) were calculated and analyzed. A process-controlled mnemonic was developed.
