The description of the complex of technical means of the automated system for controlling the technological process of thermal vortex enrichment was carried out as part of the project to create a comprehensive resource-saving technology and the organization of high-tech production of carbon and silicon dioxide nanostructures to improve the properties of building and structural materials. The description of the complex of technical means was made taking into account the justification for choosing the structure of the complex of technical means, the description of its functioning, the main decisions on the placement of technical means, the rationale for the application and technical requirements for equipment, as well as the justification of methods for protecting technical means. Computer equipment and data transmission equipment were selected. The described set of technical means is necessary and sufficient to achieve the goal of creating an automated control system for the technological process of thermal vortex enrichment, namely, to carry out continuous technological control of the equipment and process parameters of the automated process control system of the thermal vortex enrichment technological process; process safety in the production of MD1; collection of data on technological processes and equipment operation, their processing, display and documentation; optimization of the technological process through the use of advanced visualization tools, modern management algorithms and analysis of accumulated technological information; minimize the impact of human factors on the processes of collecting and processing information about the technological process; automatic prevention of the development of emergency situations.

As part of the project to create a comprehensive resource-saving technology for the associated production of nanostructure concentrates, the reliability of the software package “Automated control system for the technological process of obtaining MD1 and MD2 nanostructure concentrates” was evaluated in terms of providing thermal vortex enrichment. The calculation of the reliability of the system was performed to assess the level of reliability and quantitatively determine the reliability indicators for the implementation of the functions of ACS TO 2.12. The object to be calculated was identified, the goals and objectives of the calculation at this stage, the nomenclature and the required values of the calculated reliability indicators were determined, the calculation method was selected that is adequate to the features of the object, the goals of the calculation, the availability of the necessary information about the object and the source data for the calculation. The initial data for the calculation were obtained and pre-processed; the values of the reliability indicators of the object were calculated. From a comparison of the calculation results with the reference values of the integral safety level (SIL) in accordance with IEC 61508, it follows that the maximum safety level of the ACS TO 2.12 SIL 2, the system availability is 98.97%, and the system uptime is 2 years. The probability of a dangerous failure of the PAZ system is 1.31·10−4, which corresponds to a high value of the integral safety level (SIL 4).

The information support of the automated control system for the technological process of thermal vortex enrichment is described. Solutions for the organization of information support, collection and transmission of information have been developed. A classification and coding system has been built. The intra-machine information base is organized according to the principle of dividing into high-level and low-level databases. It is possible to maintain an off-machine information base by creating reports for outputting information in the form of logs on paper. The composition of the information base in terms of databases is given.
