  • Publication number: 20220288661
    Abstract: In thickness control processing, transfer processing of an entry thickness He(N) is performed (step S1). In the transfer processing, data of the entry thickness He(N) is transferred from a position P11 to a position P12 at the same speed as the speed of a material to be rolled M. Subsequently, an amount of change in a thickness ?H(N) is calculated (step S2). The amount of the change in the thickness ?H(N) is calculated based on data of a delivery thickness Hd(N) and data of a transferred thickness Hc(N) transferred to the position P12 at a timing when the data of the delivery thickness Hd(N) is measured. Then, a target entry thickness He(N)_tgt is calculated (step S3). Subsequently, a manipulated amount of rolling speed VR(N?2) and VR(N?k) are calculated (step S4).

  • Publication number: 20220286076
    Abstract: A power conversion device includes an inverter, a current detector, a frequency analysis processor, a storage, a determination unit, a reference rotational rate change unit, and a rate controller. The determination unit determines a frequency at which a signal component having a magnitude exceeding a prescribed value has been detected among frequency components of a load current, generates restriction information for excluding a reference rotational rate for a rotational rate corresponding to the detected frequency based on a determination result after the determination, and causes the storage to store the generated restriction information. The reference rotational rate change unit changes a reference rotational rate of an electric motor so that mechanical resonance of the detected frequency is avoided based on the stored restriction information. The rate controller controls a rotational rate of the inverter using the changed reference rotational rate.

  • Publication number: 20220239146
    Abstract: A power supply device includes an inverter, a voltage converter, a capacitor, a current detector, a counter, and a controller. The inverter converts DC power into AC power and supplies the converted AC power to a load. The voltage converter performs voltage conversion for a DC voltage from a battery. The capacitor smoothes the DC voltage from the voltage converter and inputs the smoothed DC voltage to the inverter. The current detector detects a battery current flowing from the battery into the voltage converter. The counter measures a discharge time of the battery. The controller stops the voltage converter when the measured discharge time of the battery exceeds a discharge permissible time. Based on an output from the current detector, the controller sets the discharge permissible time to be shorter as the battery current is higher when the battery current exceeds a threshold value during discharging of the battery.

  • Publication number: 20220236725
    Abstract: A physical model identification system according to the present invention first uses actual data sampled from a manufacturing line to learn a statistical model expressing a controlled object in the manufacturing line. Next, this system creates numerical quantity data quantifying an input-output relationship between a registered input variable and a response variable of a learned statistical model. Next, this system identifies a correction coefficient of a physical model such that a relationship, expressed by the numerical quantity data, between the registered input variable and the response variable is maintained. An identified correction coefficient is reflected in the physical model implemented in a calculator controlling the manufacturing line. Accordingly, prediction precision of preset values and control values of the controlled object by a practical model is improved, and a stable operation of the manufacturing line and high quality production become possible.
