HIERARCHICAL STRUCTURES BASED ON PLC DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS
Journal Title: ROMANIAN JOURNAL OF TECHNICAL SCIENCES - APPLIED MECHANICS - Year 2010, Vol 55, Issue 3
Abstract
The paper presents a deep study of advanced programming techniques of the automation system based on PLC (Programmable Logical Controllers) such as: index addressing; saving data to Flash EPROM when the power supply drops down and refreshing of status variables when the power is turned on; acquisition and digital processing of analogue signals; complex arithmetic functions; special functions for closed feedback loop adjustment PI-PID; memory allocation, word and double word processing, etc. There is presented a versatile communication network in hierarchical structure integrated through an Advant field bus as a decentralized, safety system in Advant OCS networks. There are included examples of applications for developing top technologies used in food processing industry, petrochemical industry and agriculture. In the end there is shown a hierarchical structure system for automatic management of industrial processes.

COUPLED TRANSVERSAL AND LONGITUDINAL VIBRATIONS OF A PLANE MECHANICAL SYSTEM WITH TWO IDENTICAL BEAMS
The paper aims to highlight some vibrations properties for a plane beams structure, where transverse vibrations are coupled with the longitudinal vibrations. In engineering practice it often happens that identical parts...
VIBRATIONS OF A MICROPADDLE WITH PERIODIC AUXETIC CORE
This paper discusses the vibrations of a micropaddle made from a foil with periodic auxetic core. Two major levels of complexity are discussed in order to understand the structure of this composite, and the auxetic role...
EIGENVALUE ANALYSIS OF CURVED SANDWICH PANELS LOADED IN UNIAXIAL COMPRESSION
An energy formulation of a simply supported cylindrically curved sandwich panel loaded in compression is introduced and the corresponding potential energy function is evaluated. The mechanical model of a cylindrically cu...
A SPECIAL CLASS OF DRIP MEDIA WITH HYSTERESIS
Since the interaction phenomenon for waves of arbitrary shape and amplitude is a property of the transmitting medium rather than of the particular wave profiles, Seymour and Varley named as DRIP the media that do not rem...
SIZE EFFECT ON STIFFNESS AND PULL-OFF FORCE OF THERMALLY ACTUATED GOLD CANTILEVERS
This paper focuses on revealing the size effect on the mechanical behavior (i.e. bending stiffness, Young modulus, pull-off force) of gold cantilevers with lengths ranging from 190 µm to 490 µm. We investigated the tempe...
