The issues of high-quality and reliable water purification for medical needs are considered. The cleaning process is inextricably linked with the automated control of engineering systems. Water for medical purposes places high demands on the degree of filtration. In this regard, the task is formulated to ensure continuous automated monitoring and control of the cleaning process. The paper shows an algorithm for controlling the process of preliminary water purification. Based on the algorithm, a program was written in the ST language, which describes the logic of the visualization with the function of displaying and controlling the process. A fragment of the functional diagram of preliminary filtering is given. A visualization of the filter washing process is presented.

During the modernization of the cement plant and the transition to a new technology for the pro-duction of cement, the design of the divider for the flow of bulk materials was set as one of the tasks. In the future, with the successful implementation of the project, this would make it possible to use a common raw material warehouse that feeds two clinker kilns. The compiled mathematical model of the raw material flow divider made it possible to simulate transient processes in the op-eration of the mechanism. The created program and visualization of the process simplifies the work of the personnel operating the installation.

Currently, one of the main problems of our time is to improve the ecology of the regions. Green areas can contribute to this, however, the southern region of Russia is caused by a dry summer period. In this regard, there is the task of ensuring high-quality irrigation, which is often carried out by automated systems. However, without feedback, it is extremely difficult to bring the process to the proper level of quality. To do this, use humidity sensors, the price of which inevitably leads to a strong appreciation of the system. This article discusses the possibility and feasibility of developing and implementing its own moisture sensor that would meet such positive criteria as low cost, high accuracy and wide range of measurements, high corrosion resistance, versatility of application.

The article is concerned with problems of modern electrohydraulic converters control systems used to adjust wicket gate of Kaplan turbine. Linearized model of wicket gate servomotor is considered. Algorithm for online identification of parameters of servomotor is considered. Algorithm is based on recurrent least squares method. Algorithm for adaptive PI-regulator tunning is based on online optimization of functional of generalised work (FGW). Model experiments using real data show reducing maximum control error of servomotor position from 20 % to 1 %. Also methods for servomotor state diagnostic are considered.
