Software Development Methodology of Hydrogen Generator Control System Based on User Interface

The work describes a list of modern requirements and existing approaches to developing user interfaces. It provides a description of the task formulation for developing a control program for a hydrogen generation system based on a user interface. During the work, the authors proposed and described an approach and methodology for developing software for automated control systems of technical systems based on a user interface in the form of a mnemonic diagram. This methodology allows for designing a clear, convenient, and simple user interface, despite the possible complexity of the described system, thanks to the visualization of measurement, control objects, and the connections between them. Each stage of the methodology is described in detail. The stage of the technological process automation methodology describes the system’s states and transitions between them using the Backus-Naur form. The work with the interpreter is described in detail, and its improvement gradually occurs with the introduction of new functionality according to the mnemonic diagram of the system. The proposed methodology allows for creating a control system similar to supervisory control and data acquisition systems.
