Description

Hardware-software complex for supervisory control The utility model is designed to ensure uninterrupted, reliable, safe operation, for example, railway automation systems. Their dispatching, control and management of station and distillation equipment located on long sections of the track. It is used in integrated automated control and dispatch systems of complex systems, for example, in railway automation systems. It can be used as an independent system for the technical diagnosis and monitoring of automation, telemechanics and communication devices, or in conjunction with modern centralized dispatch systems.

The invention is known "Interactive integrated automated system for transmitting and receiving information about the state of controlled objects", patent RU, No. 2204168, publ. 2002.12.20, IPC G 08 C 19/00, containing one or more sources of information, monitoring the operability of equipment, and / or performing the alert function. It is equipped with a higher-level information transfer unit associated with a first-level input-output unit and with a control unit for an automated information management system. However, this system is based on microcontrollers. It cannot provide, as in the proposed utility model, at the same time the function and means of communication between the personnel and the system, monitoring in operational monitoring mode and building predictive characteristics with the issuance of recommendations for optimizing management.

Closest to the proposed technical solution is the utility model "Dispatch and monitoring control system", patent RU, No. 41903, publ. 10.10.2004, IPC G 08 C 19/00, which is taken as a prototype. The system is equipped with data input-output nodes made in the form of hubs of different levels of several levels and automation devices.

The system provides an extension of the functionality of the dispatch control system, can conduct a joint analysis of the data received from the information retrieval devices, however it does not solve the task of dispatching, as well as diagnosing and forecasting the operation of automation systems based on statistical data.

In complex systems, for example, railway automation systems, it is required to provide information from devices located at stations or on the stretches of an extended section of the railway track, both in the monitoring mode of these devices and in the event of their failure. Constant supervisory control and the possibility of prompt decision-making by the dispatcher to manage these devices, as well as ensuring uninterrupted operation of the railway, requires decisions not only based on operational information, but also taking into account the predicted performance of such devices. To accomplish this task, it is necessary to simultaneously control not only the technical characteristics of the system, but also receive, accumulate and process statistical information about the system. Only in this case will its reliable, uninterrupted and safe operation be ensured.

Thus, using the proposed technical solution provides a more complete and reliable control of technical means and automation devices and

communication. In addition, to reduce the time to eliminate damage and prevent it, the collection, analysis of data and prediction of the status of devices is provided. This increases the reliability and safety of railway transport.

The problem is solved as follows.

A hardware-software complex for supervisory control is used, consisting of peripheral equipment (1) in the form of control devices (2) and information retrieval devices (3) from automation devices (4) station (5) and distillation (6) equipment, input-output nodes data of several levels in the form of a central (7) and peripheral (8) hubs, communication lines (9), characterized in that it consists of at least one supervisory control unit (10), combining through one central hub (7), at least least two branches of a block: in dispatching system (11), consisting of equipment of user dispatch centers (AWS) (12), equipped with software, and providing decision-making on the operational management of station and distillation equipment (5, 6) with the possibility of receiving accumulated and analyzed statistical data on failures in operation of automation devices of station and distillation equipment (5, 6) and data from control devices (2) and information retrieval (3) and technical control branches (13) having a branched structure including peripherals downstream equipment (1) and an automated data monitoring and analysis center (14), and the information flow transmitted through the central hub (7), both in monitoring mode and discretely, in the form of signals, comes in the forward direction from the lower to the highest with the ability to accumulate and analyze statistical data on failures in the operation of automation devices of station and distillation equipment (5, 6) and data from devices

control (2) and information retrieval (3), and in the opposite direction, that is, from the highest to the lowest level, the signals arrive with the possibility of influencing the peripheral equipment (1). The complex may consist of an N-th number of supervisory control units, each of which carries out supervisory control on its own section of the road. The complex may have a branch of technical control of a complex structure consisting of several sub-branches that are connected to the supervisory control unit in parallel. Or the complex may have a branch of technical control of a linear structure, which is connected to the supervisory control unit in series.

Thus, a technical result is obtained consisting in the possibility of more complete and reliable control of technical means and devices of automation and communication.

The technical solution is illustrated by the general scheme for connecting the blocks of the complex.

Figure 1 - shows a block diagram of the complex.

The complex works as follows.

From the peripheral equipment, which transmits through the central hub an information stream in the form of signals in two branches of the supervisory control unit: the supervisory control branch and the technical control branch, they remove all the necessary information about the state of the automation devices of the station and distillation equipment. The signals from automation devices through peripheral hubs are transmitted to the peripheral equipment of the complex and thereby provide information to the supervisory control unit, both about the technical condition of the automation devices and about the mode of their operation. When

failure of devices or equipment, this information immediately appears on the workstations of the supervisory control unit. As a result, a signal on the status of automation and equipment at stations and stretches of the site will be issued in the dispatch center of users. This will allow the dispatcher, without additional information processing, to act on the station and distillation equipment in order to ensure uninterrupted operation of the road.

The receipt of the processed information is ensured by the fact that constantly, in the monitoring mode, the technical condition of automation devices, station and distillation equipment is monitored through the technical control branch, and their operation modes are monitored through the dispatch control branch. These data are compared, analytically and statistically processed and concluded on the most characteristic failures and optimal operating modes of the road section.

The processed information in the form of signals is transmitted to the dispatch control branch for monitoring by the dispatchers of the site in monitoring mode.

Thus, a hardware-software complex (AIC), for example, of the AIC-DK type forms a computer network to provide operational information to personnel of linear enterprises (signaling and communication distances), the dispatching apparatus of road sections, control centers, etc. The equipment of the branch of dispatch control of the agro-industrial complex collects information about the free and busy times of each block section of hauls, the main and receiving tracks of intermediate stations, indications of input and output traffic lights, as well as information about the established direction of movement (on single-track sections equipped with batteries), the state of crossings and temperature axle boxes. At the same time, the equipment of the branch of technical control of the agricultural sector performs the tasks of technical control

automation devices on the stage and station. The result of the control is transmitted to the duty mechanic, the dispatcher of the alarm and communication distances, and then to the technical personnel responsible for collecting and processing the failure statistics. AIC is a system implemented using programmable controllers, industrial computers and special software, as well as communication channels between them, allowing you to organize a computer network and automated workstations (AWS) of users.

As peripheral equipment systems can be used, for example,

- automatic signal point control (AKST);

- frequency synthesizer - demodulator (RDS);

- programmable industrial controller for collecting discrete information at the station (PIK-120);

- equipment for collecting analog information at the station, which uses specialized controllers and modules PIK-10, ADTRC, ADAM-3014, LA-55P, LV-25P;

- KP 16-V drive stage controller;

- specialized boards and expansion cards for industrial computers;

- DISK controller.

As peripheral concentrators, for example, concentrators installed on stations of the type KR-489, IPC-610 can be used. As a central hub, for example, a KR-489 type hub can be used, which is a functionally complete workstation.

It is designed to solve the following problems:

- processing of signals received from controllers for removing analog and discrete information from station devices of automation, telemechanics and communication;

- collection and processing of signals received from automatic blocking devices;

- archiving and storage of information for a given time;

- transmission and reception of information from other concentrators;

- exchange of information with other microprocessor systems.

As a communication channel, a physical line, a dedicated RF channel with a two-wire end, a digital channel with an end according to the standard G 703.1 or G 703 can be used.

An automated center for monitoring and analyzing data of a branch of technical control is an integral part of a supervisory control unit, it can be, for example, of the AWP-ШЧД type and can provide automation of control processes, diagnostics and remote monitoring of the technical condition of railway automation and telemechanics (ZhAT) devices, as well on maintenance of ZhAT devices and implementation of tracking functions for the process of controlling the movement of trains and the actions of operational personnel.

AWP-ShchD functions:

- monitoring the operation of ZhAT devices;

- control over the movement of trains;

- identification of failures and pre-failure conditions of ZhAT devices;

- control of device failure elimination;

- control over the process of technical maintenance of devices at stations and on stages, including by measuring the parameters of devices (voltage

rail circuits, insulation resistance, switch currents, etc.);

- identification of critical conditions in the operation of devices using the database of failures by type of failure, by type of device, by location of devices, by time, by measured values;

- identification of emergency technological situations in the movement of trains, including stopping a train in front of a closed entrance traffic light, dangerous approach of trains on a stretch, “false” employment and “false” vacancy.

Thus, the technical result of the claimed solution is provided, which, in turn, increases the reliability, safety and uninterrupted operation of, for example, the railway.
