In Ukraine, the condition of surface water near industrial enterprises is extremely critical. The operation of enterprises leads to intensive water pollution with industrial and domestic wastewater. Therefore, improving the quality of treatment facilities through the introduction of automated control systems is an urgent problem. For the operation of automated control systems for typical cleaning processes, a software package is required, which is developed on the basis of appropriate algorithmic software and mathematical models of processes. To obtain them, methods of mathematical and simulation modeling and block diagram method of algorithmization were used. In order to assess the quality of the developed algorithm for controlling the process of buffer wastewater neutralization during operation, a comparison of control system operation based on this algorithm with the most successful foreign variants of neutralization control systems was made. Simulation for the average values of operating parameters Q = 75 m3 / h, CP = 75 g / l, and Ck = 2 g / l at minimum b = 0.02 g / l pH and maximum buffer value b = 0.47 g / l pH, and also with  unidirectional extreme combination of parameters Q = 50 m3 / h, CP = 100 g / l, b = 0,02 g / l pH and Q = 100 m3 / h, CP= 50 g / l, for minimum b = 0.02 g / l pH and maximum buffering value  b = 0.47 g / l pH shows that the best quality of transient processes is for the control system operating on the basis of the developed algorithm. For any combination of parameters, the transients for this control system provide better quality transients. Studies have shown that the control system based on the developed algorithm in comparison with the previously proposed systems provides better process control by reducing the time of transients and reducing the dynamic deviation of the output parameters, which improves the quality of wastewater treatment. Given the non-stationary process and high requirements for the cleaning parameters, manual control of this process is beyond the power of even an experienced operator. The developed mathematical model describing the dynamics of the wastewater neutralization reactor with buffer properties and the process control algorithm made it possible to proceed to the development of the control system software, which is necessary for the automated control of this process.

The article considers the problem of the modern automated control systems which operate in the difficult conditions of constantly changing multi-factorial effects of the environment. Such systems should be considered as multi-mode, non-stationary human-technical systems, since they realize the integrated management of a complex technological object. As a rule, these systems are influenced by both environmental factors and complex man-machine mechanisms and technical means (such as communication devices with an object, programmable controllers - PLC), which constitute the control infrastructure, which ultimately leads to additional complexity and errors, additional management problems and reduced overall management quality. The approach to building an automated process control system is claimed to be based on using reference libraries and control algorithms (precedents), which are selected depending on the changing environmental conditions and the assets used, as well as on the logistics support. Despite the use of modern software and hardware in many systems, such as PLC, very often the quality of control leaves much to be desired. This is due to the fact that the control object changes over time for various reasons, and the control algorithm remains unchanged, which leads to a decrease in the efficiency of functioning of such systems. The generalized structure of the precedent process control system is described, which highlights the approach to the control of a technological object within the framework of the well-known concept of support-disturbed movement, which is suitable for building robust control systems for technological objects with substantial nonstationarity.

Abstract The relevance of the studied and solved problem lies, on the one hand, in the possibility of automated control of your home devices, and on the other, in the absence of unified control systems for a smart home as a project. The latter thesis implies the actual absence of such an automated control system among the existing and sold ready-made solutions, which could be expanded by the user himself, that is, by the buyer. In this regard, there is a need to improve and develop our own product in this area. This approach will allow you to combine both the creation of your own working prototype of a smart home, and your own implementation of the automated control system, which will allow each user to refine, modify and implement new devices independently in an already assembled system based on his house or apartment. This article presents the main aspects of the design and software solution used. The software implementation is performed in the JetBrains PhpStorm development environment in PHP, Apache web server, MySQL DBMS.

Monitoring the geometric parameters of cutting and cleaning ballast during reconstruction and overhaul works is one of the most important tasks of ensuring high quality repair work. The paper describes a new type of automated control system to control the cutting process and the cleaning of ballast performed at major overhaul and reconstruction. This automated control system uses the data of a multisystem GNSS receiver, base Reference stations and spring-return mechanisms for installing antennas on the working body of the track machine (bar chain). Nowadays, gravel-cleaning machines have installed standard work quality control systems (depth of ballast cut and lateral slope), and other measuring control tools are also used. The disadvantages of existing technologies and instrumental testing are considered. The modern automatic control systems of various types developed by SGUPS and based on the use of global navigation systems are presented. Detailed schemes of working elements of ACS installed on the ballast cleaning machine (BCM) are presented. Algorithms to determine the depth and cross slope of the ballast cutting and control of these values are considered. The use and effectiveness of this type of ACS providing the required accuracy of work and continuous monitoring of the main quantities are substantiated.
