Development and Application of Safety Interlock and Status Monitoring System for Jet Wind Tunnel Based on Field Bus and Real-time Network
Jet wind tunnel system has the characteristics of complex architecture,multiple control objects and hydraulic mecha-nisms,flexible adjustment of model support mechanisms,and continuous adjustable Mach numbers,a special safety interlock and sta-tus monitoring system is developed.The system fully utilizes advanced field bus and real-time network technologies such as Profinet,builds a hardware platform based on Siemens S7-1500 series PLC as the core controller,and independently develops a real-time moni-toring software system.It solves technical problems such as fast data exchange between multi-layer or multi-source control subsys-tems,simulation operation strategy before testing,and establishes reliable safety interlocking logic and three-level shutdown mecha-nism.The static and dynamic testing results of the system show that it is suitable for wind tunnel tests with a range of 0.3~3.5 Ma,the opening and closing time of the fast valve is better than 10 s,that of the pressure regulating valve is better than 2 s,the pressure monitoring accuracy is better than 0.1%,the valve opening monitoring accuracy is better than 0.1 mm,the monitoring and control adjustment cycle is better than 100 ms,the system operates stably and smoothly,and the data are real-time and accurate,providing necessary software and hardware guarantees for the safety of wind tunnel personnel and equipment.
