BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
[0028] Figure 1 is a flowchart of the digital tracking method of the application;
[0029] Figure 2 is an architecture diagram of the digital tracking system of the application;
[0030] Figure 3 is a layout diagram of the digital tracking system of the application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0031] In order to better understand the above technical solutions of the application, the technical solutions of the application will be further described below in combination with the drawings and embodiments.
[0032] In combination with Figure 1 the application provides a digital tracking method of a hot-rolled finished steel plate, which includes the following steps:
[0033] S1, when a flying shear shears a steel plate, a steel plate digital object is generated, the data structure of which is defined in advance, and a unique ID number is generated as a global unique handle, which is convenient for data association and data indexing and backtracking in any state;
[0034] S2, it is judged whether the steel plate is valid shearing, if yes, step S3 is entered, and if not, step S1 is returned;
[0035] S3, a unique ID number is generated by a tracking PLC using a time stamp, and corresponds to a steel plate digital object;
[0036] S4, a steel plate digital object is periodically processed, and a steel plate digital object is event processed;
[0037] S5, a tracking PLC sends a steel plate digital object to an L2 system for archiving.
[0038] The steel plate digital object includes the following data structure:
[0039]
[0040]
[0041] The mother roll information of the current steel plate is selected from an information queue of an L2 system and filled into the steel plate digital object.
[0042] In step S4, the periodic processing of the steel plate digital object is specifically:
[0043] According to the running speed of the equipment, the dynamic data (physical position, current speed, etc.) of the steel plate digital object is refreshed by using the period of the tracking PLC. When the current steel plate enters the process equipment area, the relevant parameters in the steel plate digital object are sent to the current process equipment as process settings.
[0044] In step S4, the event processing of the steel plate digital object is specifically:
[0045] The grating and limit of the production line will generate a signal event, and when the current steel plate passes through the grating and limit detection point, the dynamic data in the data table of the corresponding steel plate digital object will be corrected by using the physical position of these grating and limit signals, such as the position value and the length value, so as to eliminate the cumulative error that may be generated during the periodic processing.
[0046] The difference between this correction method and the traditional method is that even if the grating and limit signal of the production line has a problem, only the tracking position signal is not corrected, and the tracking will not fail.
[0047] The steel plate digital object itself has a data table generation method and a data table deletion method.
[0048] The data table generation method is specifically:
[0049] When the effective cutting signal is generated or the virtual steel plate is generated by the manual through the screen, the steel plate digital object of the current steel plate is generated (constructed) by the data table generation method, and the steel plate digital object follows the current steel plate for life.
[0050] The data table deletion method is specifically:
[0051] When the tail cutting waste of the steel plate occurs, the steel plate digital object is deleted by the data table deletion method, or the deletion is instructed by the manual through the screen.
[0052] In combination with Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the present application also provides a digital tracking system for hot-rolled finished steel plates, which comprises:
[0053] A flying shear PLC 1 provides a flying shear cutting signal;
[0054] The tracking PLC 2 receives the shearing signal of the flying shear PLC 1 and provides the shearing length data, and also receives the feedback signal of the tracking roller 3.
[0055] The digital tracking system for hot-rolled and finished steel plates realizes the digital tracking method for hot-rolled and finished steel plates.
[0056] The application adopts the object-oriented tracking method, the principle is to take the cross-cut produced plate as a digital steel plate object, the object has its own attribute and method, solves the steel plate tracking difficulty problem, greatly improves the stability, and has wide application prospect.
[0057] Those skilled in the art of the present technology should recognize that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present application, and are not used as a limitation on the present application, as long as the changes and modifications of the above described embodiments are within the scope of the spirit of the present application, they will fall within the scope of the claims of the present application.
