Air pressure is an important parameter for the air spring on a marine diesel engine. The pressure can be indirect reflected according to the spring camber, and the spring camber means the distance variation among the measuring points of air spring. So, in order to obtain the air pressure of marine diesel engine air spring, automatic non-contact height detecting system is designed based on single chip microcomputer and ultrasonic transducer. By using the proposed automatic detection system, the height of each measuring points of air spring can be obtained timely and accurately, and the air pressure keep in normal range is realizable.

This article describes the exploration of operating parameters collection and analysis system for the marine diesel engine based on AC6111 high speed A / D acquisition card. Pressure sensor is used for the engine cylinder pressure signal creation. After amplified and filtered, the signal is sent to the marine diesel engine parameters acquisition and analysis procedures which compiled by Visual Basic language to collect the cylinder pressure and save the pressure data in real-time. Meanwhile the cylinder pressure curve, transient speed curves and heat release curve adapting to the change of crank angle are displayed. At the same time, the coordinate of the operating parameter can be showed on the curves, we can also check the engine performance through the playback function .

“…Aiming at decreasing the control cycle, increasing the computing power and dealing with large amounts of raw data, the new generation of real-time control systems are based on intelligent modules that can perform with high efficiency the data acquisition, signal processing and control tasks. Taking into account the requirements for control and automation requirements of fusion experiments, a unified real-time control and data acquisition hardware platform is envisaged [49]. JET projects, and projects at other European devices e.g., COMPASS, have been the stepping stones to develop this broader user base platform.…”

The next generation of large-scale physics experiments will be highly complex, raise new challenges in the field of control and automation systems and demand well integrated, interoperable set of tools with a high degree of automation. Fusion experiments will face similar needs and challenges. In nuclear fusion activities, e.g., JET and other devices, the demand has been to develop front-end electronics with large output bandwidth and data processing Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) controllers with efficient resource sharing between control tasks on the same unit and massive parallel computing capabilities. Future systems, such as ITER, are envisioned to be more than an order of magnitude larger than those of today. Fast control plant systems based on embedded technology with higher sampling rates and more stringent real-time requirements (feedback loops with sampling rates > 1 kHz) will be demanded. Furthermore, in ITER, it is essential to ensure that control loss is a very unlikely event and more challenging will be providing robust, fault tolerant, reliable, maintainable, secure and operable control systems. ATCA (Advanced Telecommunications Computing Architecture) is the most promising architecture to substantially enhance the performance and capability of existing standard systems delivering high throughput as well as high availability. Leveraging on ongoing activities at European fusion facilities, e.g., JET and COMPASS, this contribution will detail the control and data acquisition needs and challenges of the fusion community, justify the option for ATCA and, in the process, build the case for establishing ATCA as an instrumentation standard.
