The choice of equipment of technological enterprises, especially when the characteristics of the equipment are close in values, remains an urgent task. In our work, to evaluate the effectiveness of programmable logic controllers (PLCs), a comprehensive criterion for evaluating efficiency is proposed, as well as a method for calculating it using numerical methods. To calculate the complex efficiency criterion, the values of the significant characteristics of the controllers selected by us are converted into points on a linear scale. To refine the calculation results, we applied one of the Newton-Cotes numerical methods, namely the trapezoid method. Next, we used the method of cubic interpolation of the obtained curves to increase the accuracy of calculations. The proposed method is simple and does not require a lot of calculations. At the same time, its application makes it possible to calculate complex PLC efficiency criteria based on characteristics relevant to a particular control process.

In this paper we proposed a method for quantifying the total efficiency of programmable logic controllers from various manufacturers. The correct assessment makes it possible to select a programmable logic controller (PLC) as part of the implementation of the import substitution policy with a domestic product of devices from competing companies that have left the Russian market. The solution of the problem is carried out by the introduction of a linear rating scale for the selected characteristics of the PLC. Quantitative assessment of the qualitative characteristics of PLCs made it possible to obtain the value of the total efficiency for the PLCs considered in the work. Total efficiency is understood as a comprehensive assessment of the effectiveness of a programmable logic controller according to the selected characteristics. In this case, the characteristics may be of a different nature. We evaluated programmable logic controllers of four manufacturers: Siemens, Yokogawa, OWEN, ABAK. Seven characteristics of the PLC were selected for evaluation: mean time between failures, number of interfaces and plug-ins, power consumption, temperature range, number of protocols used, and response speed. The possibility of implementing the import substitution policy is considered. The assessment of the total efficiency confirmed the competitiveness of domestic PLCs in relation to foreign ones. The development of the presented evaluation method will make it possible to analyze the effectiveness of complex, large control systems made up of different types of equipment. The presented method can be used over time to obtain up-to-date information about the total efficiency.

This article discusses a proportional-integral-derivative controller circuit for an unstable system with a delay in a parallel control structure. The parallel control structure has two separate controllers for tracking tasks and suppressing load disturbances. The considered controller is developed on the basis of a direct synthesis approach by choosing a separate reference model with feedback. The proposed design method is applicable to both the lower and the high-level unstable process without model reduction in the higher order process. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through example modeling and comparison with methods published in the literature.

When presenting modern automatic control systems in the form of structural diagrams, they become bulky and unreadable, and their study requires a large number of calculations that are difficult for humans. In addition, many students studying in the field of Automation of Technological Processes and Production do not understand modern methods of calculating the transfer functions of control systems. This article discusses a method for representing structural schemes in the form of oriented graphs, which greatly simplifies the readability of schemes, and also makes it possible to write algorithms for processing automatic control systems presented in the form of graphs. The article suggests algorithms for finding transfer functions written in the C # programming language, which can become the basis for their own program for researching self-propelled guns, as well as students to check the correctness of the found transfer function.
