Data acquisition and control systems for experimental research facilities service
Application sectors
Problem to solve
To build or upgrade the experimental research facility, it is necessary that the electrical power part, the data acquisition part and the control software are closely related and work in synergy in order to allow the correct operation of the facility. For this reason, it is important that there is a service that takes charge of all the activities starting from the initial analysis of the facility up to the final construction and commissioning in order to verify the correct operation of all parts of the facility.
Description
The service for the creation of data acquisition and control systems for experimental research plants aims to create (with the support of external suppliers for the electrical panels wiring) all the electrical and control parts necessary for the correct functioning of the experimental research plants, starting from the initial analysis of the plant requirements, through the creation of technical documentation to wire the electrical cabinets, then proceeding with the wiring between the electrical cabinets to the power and control components, creation of the data acquisition and control system software, and finally proceeding with the commissioning and putting into service of the facility itself by carrying out all the metrological checks that the department's quality system requires. The activities described above can be carried out both on new plants and on existing plants that need an upgrade in order to create new experimental campaigns.
Innovative aspects and advantages
- Analysis and implementation of all parts of the data acquisition and control systems without the need to manage the interface with different companies for the implementation of the system.
- Customization of solutions based on the specific needs required by experimental research facilities
- Specific experience on experimental plants that allows the implementation of the control system aimed at the acquisition of experimental data
Admissible applications
- Analysis of electrical, electronic and control requirements in order to create the most suitable architecture for the electrical and control system of an experimental facility.
- Coding of the data acquisition and control software with National Instruments LabView platform
- Drafting of technical specifications for the construction of power and control electrical panels
- Execution of metrological checks on the sensors present in the systems and on the data acquisition chain following the NUC department quality rules
- Power and control electrical wiring from the electrical panels to the components installed on the systems
