Real-time simulation for continuous processing of an electrolytic tinning line

In this paper, a real-time simulation is performed to insure the continuous processing of an electrolytic tinning line (ETL). An ETL is modelled mathematically and a simple type of tension and speed controllers are designed to control the tension and speed of the strip to be within the tolerance error bound. The designed controller is implemented and tested by using a real-time simulation system which consists of 32 bit VME-based single board computers and a real-time operating system (VRTX).<
