The article discusses options for solving the problem of slowing down the operating cycle of programmable logic controllers that occurs when implementing complex algorithms. For most modern programmable logic controllers, the operating cycle directly depends on the volume of the user program. The program is executed pseudo-parallel, so the complexity of the algorithm affects the slowdown of the cycle indirectly, through an increase in the code volume. The growth of the program leads to a slowdown in the controller's response to changes in the state of the inputs. In some cases, controller developers provide programmers with options that allow them to disrupt the natural order of the operating cycle, thereby reducing the response time. The advantages and disadvantages of such methods are discussed in detail in this article. As an alternative way to reduce the controller's response time, the possibility of transferring the execution of a part of the algorithm to the operator's touch panel is considered. Modern touch panels, in addition to their main task - implementing the human-machine interface, have many additional functions, including the ability to use macros. The main functionality of macros is given and the possibility of exchanging data between the controller and the panel is demonstrated. This feature is a prerequisite for delegating some of the functions of the panel controller. The limitations and risks that arise when using this approach are discussed in detail, and situations in which it is preferable to use this method are identified.

The article discusses the problems of wear of the feeding machine rollers associated with speed mismatch in the material tracking mode. Existing methods of dealing with wear and tear struggle with the effect of the problem not the cause. One of the ways to reduce the intensity of wear of roller barrels is to develop a method of controlling the speed of the feeding machin, which reduces the mismatch between the speeds of rollers and rolled products without violating the known technological requirements for creating pulling and braking forces. Disclosed is an algorithm for calculating speed adjustment based on metal tension which compensates for roller wear and reduces friction force. Modeling of the system with the developed algorithm showed the elimination of speed mismatch during material tracking and therefore it will reduce the intensity of roller wear.

The article considers the method for parametric identification of a model of steady-state modes of a technological process. The method essence is to use artificial neural networks. The input of each neural network is measured values of input and output process variables, and the output is a corresponding parameter value of the technological process model. The effectiveness of the method was assessed by conducting computational experiments on regression models with two factors and models of steady-state modes of technological processes in existing industries. The average relative error of the models does not exceed 0,43%. The method for parametric identification is applicable in adaptive control of steady-state modes of the technological process. One of advantages of the method is that with a specified form of mathematical description, training a neural network does not require statistical experimental values of process variables.

During the production of delicatessen canned fish, the control system should ensure a gentle heat treatment regime with a decrease in the degree of temperature exposure to the product. Changing the modes requires reconfiguration of the type and parameters of temperature regulators in the autoclave, carried out based on the results of processing modeling. The software complex for modeling the object and control system during pasteurization provides for calculating the degree of sterilizing effect. The complex contains system and application softwares. The application modules implement the functions of a graphical interface, a virtual controller, numerical simulation of product temperature changes and data transmission. The virtual controller allows select controllers: positional, proportional-integral-differential, and states. The novelty of the model lies in the display and the possibility of changing both the parameters of the regulator and the coefficients of the desired polynomial, taking into account the sign of the derivative of temperature during heating and cooling. The practical value of the work is to reduce the time for reconfiguring the autoclave control system, ensuring a reduction in the degree of temperature exposure when a given sterilizing effect is achieved by selecting the type and parameters of temperature control rules.
