ORGANIZATION OF MIXED-CRITICAL COMPUTING SYSTEMS FOR CONTROL OF MULTI-OPERATIONAL TECHNOLOGICAL SYSTEMS
Abstract
Automation of complex technological and laboratory systems requires the creation of specialized mixed-critical computing systems. They must control the technological process at several levels (control subsystem) and maintain the user interface with technological data management (information subsystem). So, they execute tasks with significantly different criticality. Also, it is assumed that the development of physical components, the implementation and configuration of the control subsystem at different stages of the life cycle is carried out by applied specialists (industrial engineers, servicemen, end-users), not professional computer and software engineers. In this article we propose and justify the architecture of the automation platform and computing systems for such technological and laboratory systems. For efficient control of customized technological process, it is necessary to partition it to several levels from primitive operations to batch execution of hundreds and thousands of tasks, each including thousands of primitive operations. The methods of partitioning are proposed with an emphasis on finding a balance between flexibility and difficulty of configuration. The ways of further expanding of the platform are proposed through the introduction of alternative and more advanced algorithms for solving non-trivial technological process control issues, for example, dynamic process planning. Solutions of instrumental issues related to the creation and support of specialized programming/configuration languages, compilers, and virtual machines throughout the entire life cycle of the platform are proposed.
