USING A LABVIEW AND FIELD POINT I/O MODULE FOR CATALYTIC ISOTOPIC EXCHANGE COLUMN CONTROL AND OPERATORS TRAINING
Journal Title: ANALELE UNIVERSITATII DIN CRAIOVA - Seria Inginerie electrica - Year 2010, Vol 34, Issue 34
Abstract
This paper presents the main advantages of using the programmable automation controller (PAC) and LabVIEW software in the operation of an isotopic exchange column which is part of ETRF (experimental tritium removal facility) from ICIT Rm. Valcea. Taking in account the advantages of Compact FieldPoint for using in industrial control application (advanced embedded control, data logging, headless operation and Ethernet-based data acquisition) personnel are able to operate an experimental catalytic isotopic exchange column under manual or automatic control. The very friendly interface and an alarm management system help operators to manipulate the performance of the control loops (TIC, FIC, PIC) in order to improve the operation of the column. The operators can visualize all parameters of the process, to check/modify the conditions of the all control loops, to identify/change the on/off status of dynamic equipment. For young engineers is easy to understand the PAC graphic interface as well as to investigate control loops behavior during PID tuning process. The time required to train the engineers to operate and control the column by our PAC system is minimal. Also, in the paper it is presented a short description of the mathematical model (based on Shimizu equations) of the isotope transfer along the column length used for package evaluation performances during the experiment.
