Abstract

Safety becomes a key paradigm in industrial systems because of international regulation and the cost generated by a work stoppage or to overcome disaster. The work presented in the present paper describes a distributed modelling of a safety system for technological processes, and its application to permanent magnet DC-motor. Motors are basic engines in several technological systems and especially in industry their availability and security affect the entire system. For this purpose a special attention is paid to their supervision and security. The safety model is based on agents. These agents monitor system parameters, identify risk, trigger corresponding alarms and react to protect the system. Experiments have shown that the right alarms are triggered and the system reacts in near-real time to protect the equipment.
