Abstract


The paper presents the control system of a continuous vulcanization line for the production of cables and conductors with rubber insulation, where the vulcanization process takes place in water and steam (vapour) atmosphere. The control, monitoring and recording of relevant parameters of the whole technological process was carried out with help of PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) and HMI (Human Machine Interface) and KepwareEx server. The control system is used to generate control signals for the regulation of speed, tension force, extruder temperature, water level and steam pressure in the vulcanization tube according to the technological parameters of the line. The monitoring system enables visualization of all technological units of the line via the HMI screens. The parts and entirety of the line are represented by conveniently drawn symbols that change colour depending on the current state and display the variables relevant to the operation of this object. Through the use of the KepwareEx server and database, the values of the variables important for the operation of the plant are recorded in real time. The developed supervisory and control system allows easy operation and monitoring of all important parameters of the plant.
