Research of A Monitoring System for the Intelligent and Efficient Automated Handling Container Terminal

With the high speed development of international shipping business, it was an important matter how to meet the requirement for the fast handling of large-size vessels and terminals. In this paper, the Intelligent and Efficient Automated Handling Container Terminal (IEAHCT) was regarded as the study object, and the field-bus technology (PROFIBUS-DP for MICREX-SX series) was adopted to build monitoring system for the IEAHCT. PROFIBUS-DP was a kind of the field-bus control system, was communication medium of master station (MICREX-SX series PLC) and slave stations (MICREX-SX series PLC). The data communication programs for IEAHCT had been worked out which makes it possible to monitor and control the IEAHCT effectively.
