The control and automation system is distributed and multi-level. The control of the parameters provided is performed both locally - by direct-acting devices, and using converters and secondary devices installed on the KVP and A panels. The control of the actuators is possible both manually locally and remotely, or automatically from the Shcha and Shcha boards. The automation systems are based on microprocessor technology, the basis of which is a programmable logic controller (PLC). The project provides for the use of the PLC LOGICONT-S200 manufactured by OOO "IX-Techno". The PLC LOGICONT-S200 has a modular design, the ability to use local and distributed input-output structures, wide communication capabilities, a variety of functions supported at the operating system level, high ease of operation and maintenance. This ensures optimal solutions for building automatic control systems for technological processes.
The automation system provides input, output, and primary processing of analog and discrete signals according to programmed algorithms. 
All signals about the parameters and status of the equipment are output to the controller, from where they are transmitted to the active HMI panel (located on the control panel) to allow the operator 
to visualize data about the status of the equipment and control it. An automated workplace (AWP) is also connected to the controller to monitor the technological parameters of the furnace. 
Automatic regulation, blocking protection, and signaling are implemented at the controller level and operate independently of the upper levels.
