TECHNOLOGICAL CONTROLS (Level 1 Programming)
- Automatic width control
- Automatic thickness control
- Looper control
- Automatic flatness control
- Coiler controls (side guides, pinch rolls, wrapper rolls)
- Speed guidance
- Actuator controls (roll gap adjustment, roll bending, roll shifting, etc.)
LEVEL 2 SYSTEMS
This automation level includes supervisory control. Supervisory control combines the production scheduling and management information functions with the process control functions to form a hierarchical control system. It also includes process models, automatic material handling, and other auxiliary systems. It utilizes physical process models to supplement the level 1 control giving calculated set-values to level 1 process control.
- Offline-model for pass schedule calculation
- Process data acquisition with 3D visualization
General Controls and Sequences
- From furnace discharge till exit coil handling
- Roll change
- Media- and lubrication systems
