Abstract: A result acquisition unit (130) obtains, for each candidate setting, a simulation result of a case where a candidate setting is applied to the one or more units of equipment. A satisfaction level calculation unit (140) calculates, for each candidate setting, a satisfaction level on a basis of the simulation result. A constraint level calculation unit (150) calculates, for each candidate setting, a constraint level on a basis of the simulation result. A candidate optimization unit (160) judges superiority/inferiority of a plurality of candidate settings on a basis of the satisfaction level of each candidate setting and the constraint level of each candidate setting, and optimizes the plurality of candidate settings on a basis of a judgment result, thereby generating a plurality of new candidate settings. A selection unit selects an applicable setting from the plurality of new candidate settings. A control unit applies the applicable setting to equipment.

Abstract: A method for producing a hot-rolled steel sheet which enables predicting a temperature history of unevenness of the end face of a coil includes: measuring a surface temperature of hot-rolled strip-shaped steel; calculating a temperature history in a natural cooling state after coiling, assuming that the strip-shaped steel has been coiled without unevenness on an end face, based on the surface temperature measured in the measurement step; actually coiling the strip-shaped steel after the measurement step; scanning with a displacement meter, an end face of a coil formed in the coiling step, and deriving a size of the unevenness of the end face over a radius of the coil; and predicting a temperature history of the unevenness in a natural cooling state using: the temperature history calculated in the first calculation step; and the size of the unevenness derived in the derivation step.

Abstract: The reliability of testing a normally closed contact in a relay unit may involve the following. While the load is de-energized, sending a test signal to a normally closed contact (b1, b2) and detecting the state of the returning test signal sent. Resending a test signal when a detection result does not satisfy a predetermined criteria, and re-detecting the state of the returning test signal resent. The state of the returning test signal resent may be assessed as normal when the re-detection result satisfies the predetermined criteria.
