Description
Summary:Rolling machines are often used for forming flat elements or pipes. Problems occur when used to produce cylindrical elements other than pipes, or when experimental materials are used. It is required to introduce flexible control of the rolling process parameters in such cases. It is necessary to monitor the device operating parameters. When a rolling machine works with experimental materials, there are no typical control and acquisition data systems available. The article presents the concept and capabilities of the control and computer data acquisition system supporting the rolling process. The main task of software system is acquisition of force and kinetic parameters related to the analysed process of the compression during rolling. This system allows current recording and analysis of five physical values. The acquisition data application is developed in National Instruments LabVIEW environment. The software algorithm is based on the state machine. The article contains a detailed description of hardware and software implementation of the functions mentioned.
