Advanced Control System Development on the Basis of Festo Training Laboratory ＂Compact Workstation＂

This article describes the development of automatic control system on the basis of Festo ＂Compact Workstation＂ training stand. Such control systems are used in different branches of industry and infrastructure including oil industry, chemical industry, water treatment, canalization and others. The stand allows realizing level, flow, pressure and temperature control systems, using pump, valves, discrete and analog sensors. Level control system is described in this work. PID （proportional integral derivative） controllers are used in these systems. Control is switched on and off and the parameters of control systems are changed by means of SCADA （supervisory control and data acquisition） system. During real technological processes, these actions are performed by the operator. The algorithm of the control system is realized using PLC （programmable logic controller）. At the end of the article conclusions about the research are drawn.
