Study of tools available for Highway Addressable Remote Transducer (HART) on different platforms Bhisma Gajera, Nimish Kate, Nital Patel 3rd International Conference on Communication Control and Intelligent Systems Ccis 2024, 2024 The objective of this study is to investigate the various tools that can be used to implement Highway Addressable Remote Transducer (HART) technology on various platforms and enhance the current knowledge in the domain of process automation. Due to the increasing demand of intelligent devices with digital communication capabilities, the need for effective communication between field equipment and control systems is required. The paper highlights HART technology as a standard for digital information transmission and reception in industrial data communication. The paper comprises characteristics of HART standards and various tools for its implementation. The necessary tools for implementing HART technology, such as FDT Frames, DD/EDD Operating Tools, DTMs, DDs, and EDDs have been discussed. This study supports in the implementation of HART standard for any industrial application.

Development of a slow controller based prototype for data acquisition and control system for fusion research and development Palak Uday Shimpee, Himanshu Tyagi, Nital Patel 2016 International Conference on Control Instrumentation Communication and Computational Technologies Iccicct 2016, 2017 Nuclear fusion is the upcoming trend to develop high power and meet the energy requirements in the world. International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) is a megaproject to develop a reactor producing high amount of power through nuclear fusion. For the fusion experiments, a neutral beam having a duty cycle of 3S ON/ 20S OFF and is modulated at 5Hz, having current of 18–20 A at 100 KeV of energy. Data Acquisition and Control System is required to acquire the samples for duration of 3600sec during the research process. Hence research and development works are being carried out for the development of slow controller [1] based prototype that can handle almost 400 signals for further evaluation and usage in Indian Fusion programs The slow control system is based on PLC. The control system software will be based on CODAC [2, 3, 4] software which is platform developed by ITER as a standard Instrumentation and Control framework. It has archiving facility that allows storing data for further use. The slow control system has to be set up where both components Control and data acquisition will communicate with each other.
Modelling, simulation and validation of continuous sedimentation process Neel Patel, Nital Patel, Jayesh Barve 2016 Indian Control Conference Icc 2016 Proceedings, 2016 One-dimensional model of continuous sedimentation process is presented in this paper. The proposed model is based upon 1-dimensional discretization of sedimentation tank into number of layers along its height. A point source and distributed source models are compared. Investigation of concentration at various layers of the tank is carried out. A preliminary tuning and validation of the proposed model is carried out by considering sedimentation tank that is a part of clari-flocculator process located at real-life waste-water treatment plant of the Central Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP), Ahmedabad. The model presented in this work is proposed to subsequently couple with flocculation model and to develop suitable process control applications like soft sensors to predict the relevant pollutants in the effluent of primary clarifier, automated flocculent dosage.
