Application study on roll eccentricity control on cold rolling AGC system based on repetitive control
Abstract
As the tolerance requirement for the thickness of steel plate and strip products getting tighter and tighter, the roll eccentricity is becoming more and more important factor affecting the product quality. To precisely control the flat rolled products in cold rolling, an investigation on roll eccentricity becomes essential and such research is lacked in our country so far. In this thesis, attention is focused on control of gauge of steel plate and strip in the presence of periodic disturbances such as the eccentricity.
Repetitive control system, known to be effective for periodic disturbance, seems to fit naturally with the eccentricity compensation problem. The roll eccentricity control technologies in cold rolling of flat rolled strip based on repetitive control theory are mainly studied in this dissertation. The key innovations of this paper are summarized as follows:
⑴ The mathematical models of steel plate and strip gauge control are presented. A control scheme of feed forward compensation for material rigidity is put forward. Through theoretical analysis, the characteristics of roll eccentricity are summarized. An modified Fast Fourier Transform algorithm of acquiring roll eccentricity signal is proposed.
⑵ For SISO PID gauge control system, design in the frequency domain based on repetitive controller rejecting single roll eccentricity disturbance is introduced. A compensator is included for the first time in the control scheme. In addition, a control structure of repetitive controllers resisting multi roll eccentricity disturbance is proposed. All the design schemes have been analyzed. Simulations show that proposed schemes are effective.
⑶ For MIMO gauge and tension control system, repetitive control for a single roll eccentricity compensation is first presented.The structure is then extended to the case of multiple roll eccentricity. The design method of compensator of repetitive controllers is introduced. Theoretical analysis and simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the repetitive control structure proposed.
⑷ Repetitive control is useful if periodic disturbances act on a control system. Perfect (asymptotic) disturbance rejection can be achieved if the period is known exactly. For those cases where the roll eccentricity period changes, a robust repetitive controller structure is proposed. It uses a robust repetitive control structure in the feedback configuration, so that small changes of period do not degrade the disturbance rejection properties. The robust repetitive controller shows good result for rejecting eccentricity.
⑸ The digital robust repetitive control schemes compensating single and multiple roll eccentricity are proposed. The design framework can reduce the order of compensator effectively. The gauge adopt the structure of constant volume flow AGC and feedback AGC , avoiding system instability caused by control delay of measurement of height instrument. The material rigidity feedforward is added to the gauge control structure. The theoretical analysis and simulation results on the two gauge control structure show a good performance on the rejection of disturbances such as eccentricity.
