TABLE OF CONTENTS CTA 4/2001 96 www.cta.ru СТА 4/2001 CD-ROM in this issue PROSOFT expanded electronic catalog v 7.1. 42 System for monitoring and controlling scientific-technical experiments in space By Igor Ozernykh, Aleksandr Podturkin, Aleksandr Drakov, Aleksandr Makarenkov, Vladimir Shishulin and Aleksandr Kolotovkin This article describes the structure and components of a system designed for the real-time monitoring and control of crystallization processes using a zonal heating process in crystal-growing equipment in space. The basic components used ensure that the system is highly reliable when personnel tasks are carried out effectively. DEVELOPMENT/ Machine-building 48 Automated rotor balancing system By Dmitriy Yegorov, Lyubov Glazyrina, Pyotr Zhiganov, Aleksandr Klyuchnikov and Aleksandr Pelevin This article describes an automated system for performing dynamic rotor balancing on a vertical balancing stand with gasostatic bearings. SOFTWARE/ Distributed Control Systems 54 Where is the badger? By Nikolay Gorbunov The author describes the software and methods for creating a distributed automatic process control system using the QNX operating system. SOFTWARE/ Instrument Systems 60 Universal software and hardware solution for an automatic process control system for chemical water treatment By Andrey Reshetov, Boris Lopatkin and Aleksei Yelov This article analyzes the development and implementation of an integrated software-hardware solution for automating processes based on an automatic process control system for chemical water treatment at the Yuzhnouralsk City Electric Station. Engineer’s Notebook 70 Parallel port instead of a video card By Konstantin Kozlov 76 Measuring pressure in automated systems By Arkadiy Gurtovtsev Showroom 90 System Integration Projects in Brief 93 News 34 SYSTEM INTEGRATION/ Control and Measuring Systems 6 Measuring raw materials and finished products By Igor Adamenko and Yelena Fomenko This article describes a system for automating weighing, dosing and measuring processes based on equipment components from SIEMENS. 12 Automated solution for scientific research By Maxim Galitskiy, Oleg Zhugin, Vladimir Kalintsev and Vyacheslav Sorokin This article describes an automated measuring solution using open international standards and current software and hardware. DEVELOPMENT/ Control and Measuring Systems 16 Automated dosing system for flotation reagents at an enrichment plant By Sergey Rogozhnikov and Vasiliy Kinyov The authors describe a system for automating the dosing of flotation reagents for the first and second units in the main facility of the Sredneuralskiy Copper-smelting Factory. The system was built using the ADAM-5510, an IBM PC-compatible programmable controller. 22 Optical pour rate measuring system for a continuous finished product measuring machine By Aleksandr Anikin, Igor Ierusalimov and Igor Sukovatin This article describes an optical measuring system for hot pouring with a continuous finished product measuring machine. The measuring system was designed to control the placement and speed of hot pouring for the continuous casting of steel. DEVELOPMENT/ Astronautics 28 Problems in creating onboard computing systems for small space devices By Oleg Gobchanskiy The author describes certain problems that arise in the development of equipment for onboard computing systems and potential solutions. The article describes the structure of an integrated MicroPC-based solution. 36 Increasing the radiation protection of industrial automation systems in onboard equipment By Oleg Gobchanskiy, Victor Popov and Yuriy Nikolaev This article describes a method for increasing radiation protection, allowing for the use of equipment intended for industrial use in onboard equipment on space apparatuses. The authors cite the results of tests of MicroPC modules and certain IMS systems. The tests demonstrate a significant increase in the maximum dose of radiation in a “power off” state. The authors propose using a “periodic power switching” regime for onboard equipment.
