METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR OPTIMIZATION OF FLATNESS CONTROL IN THE ROLLING OF A STRIP

摘要

The present invention relates to a method and a device for optimization of flatness control in the rolling of a strip using any number of mill stands and actuators. The invention is achieved by using a mill model represented by a mill matrix that contains information of the flatness effect of each actuator, translating each actuator"s flatness effect into a coordinate system, whose dimension is less or equal than the number of actuators used, monitoring/sampling the actual flatness values across the strip, computing a vector of the flatness error/deviation as the difference between the monitored/sampled strip flatness and a reference flatness vector, converting the flatness error into a smaller parameterized flatness error vector, using a dynamic controller to calculate optimized actuator set-points in order to minimize the parameterized flatness error, thereby achieving the desired strip flatness. The invention also relates to a system for optimization of flatness control in the rolling of a strip
