To the Question of Building Precedential Control Systems Based on Support-Disturbed Movement

Abstract

The article considers the problem of the modern automated control systems which operate in the difficult conditions of constantly changing multi-factorial effects of the environment. Such systems should be considered as multi-mode, non-stationary human-technical systems, since they realize the integrated management of a complex technological object. As a rule, these systems are influenced by both environmental factors and complex man-machine mechanisms and technical means (such as communication devices with an object, programmable controllers - PLC), which constitute the control infrastructure, which ultimately leads to additional complexity and errors, additional management problems and reduced overall management quality. The approach to building an automated process control system is claimed to be based on using reference libraries and control algorithms (precedents), which are selected depending on the changing environmental conditions and the assets used, as well as on the logistics support. Despite the use of modern software and hardware in many systems, such as PLC, very often the quality of control leaves much to be desired. This is due to the fact that the control object changes over time for various reasons, and the control algorithm remains unchanged, which leads to a decrease in the efficiency of functioning of such systems. The generalized structure of the precedent process control system is described, which highlights the approach to the control of a technological object within the framework of the well-known concept of support-disturbed movement, which is suitable for building robust control systems for technological objects with substantial nonstationarity.
