Control strategy and control model for an accelerate cooling control system of plates after rolling

In order to improve product quality and rolling efficiency, a new set of accelerate cooling system of plates after rolling was designed for the plate rolling mill of Wuhan Iron and Steel Corporation. The system integrated many kinds of advanced control strategies and control models. High performance controllers of Siemens were also applied in the system and fully automatic control was realized. The application results showed that the cooling system had integrated functions and good control precision, and product quality was improved greatly.
