The article analyzes the use of an electric autoclave with the proposed automated control system for implementation in the educational process. An analysis of the implementation of the technological process of sterilization of canned food in an electric autoclave was carried out on the automated stand for controlling the electric autoclave called. Options for operating modes of the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) OWEN PR200 with an electric autoclave are considered. The principle of debugging an automated stand for sterilizing canned food by students is given. It has been experimentally proven that the heating of an electric autoclave is started either by a directly programmable logic controller or by a computer with a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) program. For distance learning students, there is the possibility of using remote access to monitor parameters and control the operation of the autoclave using a cloud web server. This allows students to access and control this object anywhere in the world with an Internet connection. Modeling was conducted in the MATLAB environment to determine the PLC settings, and the control system was modeled using MATLAB/Simulink. It has been studied that the electric autoclave is heated within the time specified by the technological process to the specified parameters. An example of using the stand for option №8 is given. The need to improve the quality of autoclave control has been identified. Using a Proportional-Integral-Differential (PID) regulator instead of a PLC two-position relay regulator is proposed. The advantages of using the Proportional-Integral (PI)-law regulation are presented. PID regulation through the PLC's analog output effectively produces canned food from vegetable ingredients. A further research direction may be using a controller based on fuzzy logic and its discretization.
