Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of metallurgical automation technology, and in particular to a method and system for tracking and synchronizing the measurement values ​​and position of cold-rolled strip steel. Background Technology

[0002] In cold rolling production lines, due to operating conditions, the distance between the detection instruments and actuators is relatively large, resulting in significant lead and lag delays in the detection signals, affecting the performance of the control system. This paper proposes a method for tracking and synchronizing the measurement values ​​and position of cold-rolled strip steel. This method addresses scenarios where there is a significant and uncertain delay between the detection instruments and actuators. It employs strip position calculation and shift register methods to synchronize the strip steel measurement values ​​with its position. When the detection instruments are used for feedforward control, they are installed before the actuators, resulting in a lead effect in the detection signals. This method tracks the detection signals to the actuator position, achieving position synchronization and improving the accuracy of the feedforward control. When the detection instruments are installed for feedback control, they are installed after the actuators, resulting in a lag effect in the detection signals. The control quantity is recorded at the actuator position, and the soft measurement value of the controlled variable is calculated using a mathematical model of the controlled object. This method tracks the measured value to the detection instrument position, achieving soft measurement value position synchronization. Feedback control is then performed using the soft measurement value and the actual measurement value, improving the accuracy of the feedback control. Summary of the Invention
