The presented work examines a software package for monitoring the condition of a hydraulic servo drive with hydrostatic guides as part of a diagnostic vibration stand for digital transformers. The service life of digital instrument transformers is 25 years, and the calibration interval is 8 years. To achieve such high performance characteristics, it is necessary to conduct a large number of tests for such products. One such test is the vibration test. The uniqueness of the hydraulic drive used in the diagnostic vibration stand lies in its long service life under operational loads (up to 100 million cycles). This reliability is achieved with special hydrostatic guides in the hydraulic drive design and requires special software. The architecture of the software complex for the vibration stand has been created. To test the functionality of the package, simulation modeling of the operation of the components of the software package was performed. Aim. Based on the analysis of the functioning of technological equipment and options for implementing control software, develop the architecture of a software package for implementing a system for condition monitoring of a servo hydraulic drive with hydrostatic guides as part of a diagnostic vibration stand for digital transformers. Materials and methods. The stated scientific problems were solved using methods of system analysis, computer, mathematical and simulation modeling of the interaction of the software complex with the components of the servo hydraulic drive with hydrostatic guides. Results. The main practical result of the research is the development of the architecture of a software package for testing digital instrument transformers on a vibration stand. It is proposed to use cross-platform solutions when implementing the complex software and rely on modern experience in using freely distributed software. Conclusion. The developed architecture of the software package is focused on ensuring the automated operation of servo hydraulic drives, allows you to configure all the necessary equipment parameters, monitor the condition of the equipment using digital data transfer protocols, centrally save and replicate hydraulic drive settings for specific operating conditions on the enterprises. Analysis of implementation options showed that the use of a SCADA system simplifies the process of developing standard projects for dispatch control and data collection and condition monitoring, but at the same time, it has increased complexity at the stage of deployment and operation. The functionality of none of the widespread and reliable SCADA systems covers all the requirements for this project. This particularly applies to USB connectivity and high frequency signal processing required by design requirements. In addition, when using universal SCADA systems, the end user must purchase a license for the RunTime SCADA component.
