Abstract

The automation of a chemical polishing plant is described. Basically sequential control tasks were applied. The valves and the pump were connected to the process interfaces traditionally and the process interface communicates with the PC via CAN bus. The control tasks, the visualization and the operation are performed by indicators and controls of the real-time graphical programming language LabVIEW. Because of the modularity, the great number of ready library functions (e.g., automation symbols) and the graphical programming possibilities the software was developed in a short time.
