Method of Synthesizing a System for Controlling the Material Deformation Zone of a Continuous Production Line

We have established the main factors determining the problem of synthesizing an automatic control system (ACS) for part of a web materials production line. We have developed a comprehensive method of synthesizing an ACS for a production line deformation zone as a complex high order non-linear object subjected to external and internal interference effects. This method is based on using the principles of modal control, analytical design of aggregated controllers (feedback linearization) and elements of adaptation. The effectiveness of the proposed approach has been confirmed by the results of simulation study. Modal control is necessary to obtain low-oscillating, fast-flowing processes of electric drive control. Analytical designing of aggregated regulators provides a linear dependence of tension on the speed of material transportation. Adaptation elements exclude the influence of variations in the elastic modulus of the material on the quality of the tension control process.
