Tasks of automation systems
What is an automation system
Automation system is a set of elements and devices to create a constructive and functional whole, designed to perform certain functions in the field of control, monitoring and protection.
An automation system element is a structurally independent device (or device) used in an automation system (for example, a relay, measuring device, servo drive, sensor, actuator, amplifier). Learn more on our website at https://www.zalivdesign.com/. Automated objects can be:
- engines,
- boiler plants,
- ship systems or other devices equipped with automatic regulation,
- control,
- monitoring and protection systems and devices.
What tasks are solved by implementation of modern automation facilities?
Computers, microprocessors and microcomputers become widespread on ships. In future, shipboard data processing system may be used to solve the following problems:
- recording of some operative information,
- connected with operation of technical means (technical equipment) and used before next plant repair (deviation of parameters from admissible limits,
- operation of protection means,
- switching of mechanisms and so on).
Registration of reporting-statistical information, which is used after completion of the operational cycle for subsequent analysis of the TS condition and the level of their maintenance in order to determine and plan measures for improvement of the operational characteristics of the equipment and the vessel as a whole.
Possibility of reconstructing the sequence of events in the analysis of emergency situations.
Reduction to minimum of the crew labor input to the shipboard reporting and transition to the automatic filling of the logbook.
Creation of prerequisites for automated processing of shipboard reporting documents on different levels.
