  • Using neural networks in programmable logic controllers as an opportunity to abandon classical programming

    The article describes an experiment on designing a neural network for a programmable logic controller in order to eliminate the need to involve programmers in the development of automated control systems. The main task of programmable logic controllers is to simplify the automation of technological processes; they practically eliminate the tasks of developing printed circuit boards and soldering operations of elements. Obviously, the fewer different tasks that have to be solved and the simpler these tasks are, the faster the development and launch of a new system will be, and its cost will be lower. For the same purpose, for programming controllers, fairly simple and visual languages ​​are used, this greatly simplifies the work of programmers. At the current level of microelectronics development, the computing resources of controllers significantly exceed the level necessary for most automation tasks. The question certainly arises whether it is possible, using excess computing power, to develop a single universal program capable of adapting to any technological process. Surely, such a program will work slower and take up more memory, but in this case, the programming task should degenerate into the task of setting up ready-made software. The article is devoted to the development of a prototype of such a program based on the single-layer perceptron model. The structure and parameters of the developed neural network are described taking into account the characteristics of the target platform. The training process of the designed neural network is analyzed. The limitations imposed on the development are listed and substantiated. The advantages and disadvantages, as well as development options, are outlined.

  • Method of Discretization and Optimization of Base Points in Route Planning for Ground‑Based Robotic Systems Used for Power Facility Diagnostics

    Reliability of power‑generation facilities is directly tied to the completeness and regularity of technical‑condition inspections. Traditional approaches—based on visual inspection and spot measurements—are labor‑intensive, poorly reproducible, and pose safety risks to maintenance personnel. In this context, the use of mobile robotic systems that can autonomously survey substations and other energy equipment is increasingly relevant. A key determinant of the effectiveness of such robotic platforms is the quality of the planned route: the coverage of equipment needed to obtain diagnostically valuable information.
    In this paper we propose a method for discretizing and optimizing base‑point locations that formalizes the construction of inspection routes. The method sequentially applies a series of algorithms: (1) geometric discretization of the admissible motion area using a regular grid; (2) filtering of points while respecting the technical constraints of the robotic system (RTS) and no‑entry zones; (3) modeling of visibility zones with simplified colliders and quantitative assessment of visibility quality; and (4) optimization of the set of base points as a coverage problem.
    The method’s effectiveness is demonstrated on a three‑dimensional model of a substation: scenario tests showed a reduction of the number of base positions by more than a factor of four while maintaining a high coverage rate (≥ 97 %). The practical value lies in the possibility of integrating the proposed methods into the diagnostic and technical‑control intelligence subsystems, thereby reducing labor costs, improving route reproducibility, and enhancing the quality of automated diagnostics in the energy sector.

  • Forecast of the grade of manufactured products in small-tonnage non-stationary multi-product production of polymer products

    Modern computer systems for controlling chemical-technological processes make it possible to programmatically implement complex control algorithms, including using machine learning methods and elements of artificial intelligence. Such algorithms can be applied, among other things, to complex non-stationary multi-product and flexible discrete productions, which include such low-tonnage chemical processes as the production of polymeric materials. The article discusses the production of fluoroplastic in batch reactors. This process occurs under constantly changing parameters such as pressure and temperature. One of the important tasks of the control system is to stabilize the quality of the produced polymer, and for these purposes it is important to predict this quality during the production process before the release of fluoroplastic. The quality of the product, in turn, strongly depends on both the quality of the initial reagents and the actions of the operator. In non-stationary process conditions, typical virtual quality analyzers based on regression dependencies show poor results and are not applicable. The article proposes the architecture of a virtual quality analyzer based on mathematical forecasting methods using such algorithms as: random forest method, gradient boosting, etc.

  • About accuracy of polynomial models of submersible electric motors as a part of ACS

    The characteristics of a submersible induction motor are described with sufficient reliability for practice by the theory of multi-motor electric drive. In this case, the classical circuit of a submersible induction motor is a coupled system of several equivalent-T circuits. In turn, this significantly increases its computational complexity and reduces the speed of ACS. It is proposed to construct a mathematical model of the submersible electric motor in the form of polynomials with significantly higher speed using the methods of experiment planning. In the area of applicability, the differences in the estimation of energy performance do not exceed 1.1%, between the proposed models and classical equivalent-T circuits.
