In the fields of metallurgy, mining, coking, rubber, ceramics, cement, grain, friction materials, and other industries, the batching process is crucial. It's sometimes referred to as the "throat" of industrial firms' manufacturing processes. It eloquently contrasts its significance throughout the entire production process. The first objective of the paper is to explain the workings of a dynamic control system for the process of automatic batch weighing and ingredient discharge. The control system is designed to provide maximum flexibility. It incorporates dual sensory mechanisms to more accurately monitor the density and amount of ingredients in a particular container and aid in the precise mixing of different ingredients as per the formula. Innumerable formulas can be added to the system. The second object of the paper is to compare the effects of incorporating NI LabVIEW in designing the control system. We have reviewed NI LabVIEW software with SCADA software on variables such as load handling capacity, computational ability, processing speed, flexibility of programming, and ease of use for the system and the users. The PLCs and process control systems (PCSs) are used to automate the production process. There are integrated system solutions available today for the automation hardware of PLCs and process control systems. It has been demonstrated that the system is inexpensive, highly reliable, and simple to use. It significantly reduces labour intensity and eliminates health risks from dust in the production line for friction materials. It is worthwhile to encourage use across relevant industries. The Auger mechanism is used for the precise discharge of ingredients.
Electric vehicles (EVs) adopting both batteries and supercapacitors have attracted a significant amount of attention in research communities due to their unique power-sharing capabilities. A hybrid ...energy storage system (HESS) can effectively reduce power stress that would, otherwise, be applied to batteries alone, and whose weight and size is still a common concern when competing against conventional internal-combustion-engine-powered cars. In this paper, a high-level algorithm is developed to adaptively split the load between two sources for an EV adopting HESS under real-life load fluctuations. A converter-supercapacitor pack (SP) coupled HESS upon which such an algorithm is deployed on, is proposed to divert excess power into the SP via a smart power converter, which is located in between in order to regulate both behaviors. A power-split strategy is designed to track real-time load profiles and determine one important variable: the cutoff frequency. As a consequence, relatively higher frequency portion of the load power gets channeled to the SP, and the remaining less-varying power demand is sent to the BP based on the fundamental energy-balancing equation. A simplified HESS model is developed in MATLAB, and the real-time power-split algorithm is coded using Labview and verified on a test rig. Both simulation and experimental results prove its effectiveness in coping with even the harshest driving scenarios in real life.

Struktur pemrograman yang ditanamkan pada perangkat Arduino menggunakan bahasa pemrograman C dan dikomunikasikan secara serial dengan komputer menggunakan bahasa pemrograman LabVIEW. Validasi sistem otomasi pada mode sampling dilakukan dengan membandingkan antara volume set poin dengan volume yang dihasilkan serta membandingkan tingkat kejernihan cairan. Untuk mengetahui tingkat keberhasilan preparasi pada filter ekstraksi dilakukan pengambilan data pada cairan yang digunakan sebagai media ekstraksi. Data hasil rekaman flowmeter diperoleh persamaan y = 2601.3 -31.183 dengan linearitas sebesar 0.9788. Karakteristik ADC pada cairan ekstraksi berkisar antara 30 – 60. nilai tersebut digunakan sebagai referensi pada mode preparasi media ekstraksi filter radiocesium. Hasil validasi sistem otomasi tersebut menampilkan kesesuaian antara parameter yang di input dengan yang dihasilkan serta kestabilan pada pembacaan parameter.
During the production process, a lot of undesirable or defective things are also produced. Since they cannot be used or distributed on the market, these things need to be weeded out. In modern ...industrial applications, checking the integrity and quality of the product is one of the most important procedures, being also the result of the optimization and efficiency of the production process. The automatic product verification and sorting system is the fastest and most efficient system that achieves compliance with the quality standards of one or more products. These systems are classified as critical in some applications because replacing them with human personnel requires a large number of employees and related costs. This paper presents an experimental model with the help of electronic and 3D printed components that through image processing will manage to sort different kind of products.

•Development and integration a control system of 10Hz pellet injection for EAST.•The framework and control logic can be a reference for other pellet injection control system.•Good operating results ...of the control system are obtained from the EAST campaign.
A 10Hz deuterium/hydrogen pellet injection system (PI20) was deployed for plasma fueling of the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST). The pellet injection system requires high vacuum, system state monitoring, remote control, logical sequence of control stages, precise temperature control, safety interlocks, and data publishing. Owing to the requirements of system safety and operational reliability, a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system was developed and integrated to provide the functions of pellet injection process control, pellet video capture, vacuum devices control, and data acquisition. In this control system having two-layer architecture, an Omron Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is used as the lower controller to control the process of pellet fabrication, cutting, acceleration, and relevant vacuum devices. An IPC(Industrial Personal Computer)is used as an upper computer with a LabView runtime environment that enables video capture and data archiving in conjunction with an operator interface (OPI) to monitor and control the status of the lower controller. The control system was successfully applied to the EAST campaign. In this paper, we describe the framework, development details, and experimental results of the control system.
In this study, the performance of a developed virtual MCA (Multichannel Analyzer) was tested in a beta spectrometer. A real MCA was also used in the spectrometer to compare the results from the ...virtual one. The beta energy spectrum of a 204Tl radioactive source was displayed in the real and virtual MCAs. Total counts in the spectra from both MCAs were determined for different data acquisition times. In addition to the total counts, spectrum shapes, starting and ending channel numbers of the beta spectrum from the virtual MCA were also compared with those of the real one. Besides, an oscilloscope feature was brought in to the virtual MCA different from the conventional ones. The output signal shapes of a main amplifier through the detector were displayed in a real oscilloscope and the developed virtual oscilloscope to test this feature. It was noticed that results from both MCAs and oscilloscopes were highly compatible with each other. It is concluded that the developed virtual MCA supported by the virtual oscilloscope could be used like a real one.
Bu çalışmada, geliştirilen bir sanal MCA’nın (Çok Kanallı Analizör) performansı bir beta spektrometresinde test edilmiştir. Sanal MCA’dan elde edilen sonuçları karşılaştırmak için spektrometrede gerçek bir MCA da kullanılmıştır. 204Tl radyoaktif kaynağının beta enerji spektrumu gerçek ve sanal MCA’da görüntülenmiştir. Her iki MCA’dan farklı veri toplama süreleri için spektrumlardaki toplam sayımlar belirlenmiştir. Toplam sayımların yanı sıra, sanal MCA’dan elde edilen spektrum şekilleri, beta spektrumunun başlangıç ve bitiş kanal numaraları gerçek MCA’dan elde edilenlerle de karşılaştırılmıştır. Ayrıca, sanal MCA’ya geleneksel olanlardan farklı olarak bir osiloskop özelliği eklenmiştir. Bu özelliği test etmek için bir ana yükselticinin çıkış sinyal şekilleri gerçek bir osiloskopta ve geliştirilen sanal osiloskopta görüntülenmiştir. Hem MCA’lardan hem de osiloskoplardan elde edilen sonuçların birbirleriyle oldukça uyumlu olduğu gözlenmiştir. Sanal osiloskop destekli olarak geliştirilen sanal MCA’nın gerçeği gibi kullanılabileceği sonucuna varılmıştır.
