Abstract:
An appropriate control and measurement system is one of the elements that allows for the safe and effective operation of a technological installation. Such a system may have a diverse structure that corresponds to the expectations and needs of its user. The devices of various manufacturers, including PLC (programmable logic controllers), can be used as a source of measurement data. This enables flexible measurement-control installations, which are adapted to the technological installations, to be built. This paper presents a system, which was created by the authors, for monitoring the temperature, pressure and flow rate of fluids. It uses the operational and IT properties of the PLC and is adapted to an existing installation on the test stand for multiphase spraying processes. In addition, as a part of the research, an application written in Python language, which allows collected data to be displayed, stored and exported, was implemented.
