Abstract

The work is devoted to the problem of considering the human factor in the management circuit. Namely, the formation of the human operator of the automated technological process management system skills necessary to regulate regular and non-regular situations that arise during the operation of the system. when developing an automated system, it is necessary to organize human interaction with the control system in such a way as to use the positive properties of these two components of the integrated system in the most effective way. To implement the learning process, simulators are used, which allows you to determine a clear practical orientation of the learning process, individualize the educational trajectory of the student, adjust the content of the course, develop skills necessary for work, which increases the effectiveness of learning and motivation of students. A conceptual model of the training system is proposed, which allows to find out the set of necessary characteristics, properties and peculiarities of the functioning of the object of research and development. The principle of operation of the model is as follows: the operator observes several graphs on the monitor, each of which reflects the current state of one of the technological processes, while the effects and reactions in regular and non-regular situations are recorded. A model description of the composition and structure of the training system has been developed, which allows considering all the necessary aspects of the training process and the relationship between individual training procedures and criteria for evaluating the quality of training. The criterion for the quality of operator training has been improved due to a balanced combination of the quality criterion for recognizing situations and the quality criterion for recognizing sequences of events, which makes it possible to form adequate assessments of the success of an operator observing several continuous processes. A program embedded in Microsoft Excel was developed, which simulates controlled processes, allows the operator to react to events and evaluates the success of his activities. The obtained results predictably increase the success rate of training the operator of the automated technological process control system. Quantitative assessment of success growth is possible with further experimental studies involving the number of participants, which will ensure the reliability of experiments.
