Abstract

This invention relates to control systems for technological processes. A system for precluding unauthorized control of an environmentally hazardous technological process comprises means located in premises closed by doors and purposed to automatic stop of a technological process when preset critical parameter values defining hazard of a technological process are reached, the said premise doors being provided with locks comprising timers for delaying closing the doors for a time not less than 8 hours after the time of starting actions for opening them, and the said means for automatic stop of a technological process being provided with energy accumulators for powering the said means for automatic stop of a technological process for at least 8 hours. In the result the reliability of safe operation of a hazardous technological process is improved through precluding a possibility of transferring such technological process to an operation mode with reaching inadmissible parameter values defining hazard of the technological process at a given 8-hour time of subversive control of the technological process.

Claims

1. A system for precluding unauthorized control of an environmentally hazardous technological process comprises means located in premises closed by doors and purposed to automatic stop of a technological process when preset critical parameter values defining hazard of a technological process are reached, the said premise doors being provided with locks comprising timers for delaying closing the doors for a time not less than 8 hours after the time of starting actions for opening them, and the said means for automatic stop of a technological process being provided with energy accumulators for powering the said means for automatic stop of a technological process for at least 8 hours.

2. A system according to claim 1, characterized in that it is provided with backup locks comprising timers and installed on the doors of the said premises for the purpose of alternatively checking the condition and working capacity of the said locks with timers and the backup locks with timers without opening the doors, and the means for automatic stop of a technological process may be provided with a system for regular checking the working capacity of the means for automatic stop of a technological process without stopping the technological process.

3. A system according to claim 1, characterized in that the means for automatic stop of a technological process are provided with elements for autonomous stop of a technological process that are used when the said elements for automatic stop of a technological process are withdrawn.
