Creation of an automated system for measuring technological parameters in the rubber production line

The introduction of an automated control system on the production line of the rubber compound will reduce the influence of the human factor on the quality of rubber products, which will lead to a significant improvement in the operational and physico-mechanical characteristics of the final product. Also, the development of this system will create a centralized data collection system for creating reports on technological operations of the production process. To obtain high-quality products, it is necessary to control and maintain all technological parameters during equipment operation at the same level, modern means of registration and parameter management. In the production of rubber compounds, it is necessary to ensure a high degree of automation of the main technological equipment, which will make it possible to more accurately dose the ingredients, including dusting ones, to conduct the process in a given temperature regime for the time required to obtain high-quality products. The implementation of automatic control during the use of high-performance equipment is not possible without the use of measuring and control equipment. The article is devoted to the problem of automation of a system for measuring technological parameters on a rubber compound production line in order to improve the quality of manufactured products. The analysis of the technological process is carried out, the controlled parameters of not only the modes of the technological process, but also of raw materials, semi-finished products and finished products are selected. The choice of instruments and local automation equipment is presented, as well as the choice of an industrial microcontroller with which control is carried out at the lower level of an integrated automation system. A functional diagram of the automation of the rubber compound production process is proposed, which will allow to obtain a product with quality indicators corresponding to the regulated level
