The high relevance of issues related to the import substitution of foreign controller equipment with domestic developments for automated process control systems at mining and metallurgical companies is dictated by the lack of possibility of purchasing and technical support for automated process control components to ensure continuous production of mining and metallurgical enterprises, as well as to meet the needs of the country ferrous metallurgy products. This article discusses the development of an automated control system for the technological process of steel production in an oxygen converter at the Novolipetsk Metallurgical Plant using controllers from a domestic manufacturer. The transition to automated control systems based on domestic controller equipment is a strategically important step for the enterprise, aimed at increasing the efficiency of production processes, increasing system reliability and production stability, by optimizing technological processes and reducing production dependence on imported equipment.

The article discusses the development of an automated system for controlling the loading of the gali output mill and scrap of the Lebedinsky GOK processing plant JSC based on the measurement of bearing vibration signals. Gali and scrap output mills are a bottleneck of production, a decrease in their productivity threatens to lose the production of two enrichment workshops. The pur-pose of this system is to conduct the technological process of the mill in maximum load modes with no overloads. The automated ball mill control system proposed in the article will increase the mill's productivity, reduce the specific consumption of electricity, and reduce the time of emergency downtime.

The article discusses the development of an automated monitoring system for the lower position of the crusher cone KKD-1500/180-GWP of the processing plant of JSC Lebedinsky GOK based on a contactless inductive position sensor. The purpose of this system is to inform the technological personnel in a timely manner about the irregular lowering of the crusher cone to the lower level, followed by prompt measures to eliminate or repair the crusher hydraulic unit, as well as the constant maintenance of the crushing ore optimal mode with specified quality characteristics in size. The automated monitoring system for the lower position of the crusher cone will reduce the concentrating plant concentrate losses, increase production efficiency by reducing the electricity specific consumption, as well as improve the personnel working conditions.
