Abstract

A steel plant control device includes a subtractor, a PI controller, a first-order lag controller, and an adder. In a band that is lower than a first frequency f 1 , a gain of the PI controller is higher than a gain of the first-order lag controller; in a band from the first frequency f 1 to a second frequency f 2 , the gain of the first-order lag controller is higher than the gain of the PI controller; and in a band that is higher than the second frequency f 2 , the gain of the PI controller is higher than the gain of the first-order lag controller.

Claims (14)

1. A steel plant control device, comprising:

a subtractor that outputs a deviation between a target value and a control variable, the control variable being fed back from a control object;

a PI controller that receives an input of the deviation and outputs a first manipulated variable for reducing the deviation by using a proportional action and an integral action;

a first-order lag controller that outputs a second manipulated variable, the second manipulated variable being obtained by multiplying the deviation by a proportional gain and further multiplying by a first-order lag element; and

an adder that outputs to the control object a final manipulated variable, the final manipulated variable being obtained by adding the second manipulated variable to the first manipulated variable;

wherein, in a band that is lower than a first frequency, a gain of the PI controller is higher than a gain of the first-order lag controller; in a band from the first frequency to a second frequency that is higher than the first frequency, the gain of the first-order lag controller is higher than the gain of the PI controller; and in a band that is higher than the second frequency, the gain of the PI controller is higher than the gain of the first-order lag controller, and

wherein the band from the first frequency to the second frequency is a band that causes load change and characteristic change of the control object after the deviation converges to zero.

2. A steel plant control device, comprising:

means for subtracting that outputs a deviation between a target value and a control variable, the control variable being fed back from a control object;

PI control means for receiving an input of the deviation and outputting a first manipulated variable for reducing the deviation by using a proportional action and an integral action;

first-order lag control means for outputting a second manipulated variable, the second manipulated variable being obtained by multiplying the deviation by a proportional gain and further multiplying by a first-order lag element; and

means for adding that outputs to the control object a final manipulated variable, the final manipulated variable being obtained by adding the second manipulated variable to the first manipulated variable;

wherein, in a band that is lower than a first frequency, a gain of the PI control means is higher than a gain of the first-order lag control means; in a band from the first frequency to a second frequency that is higher than the first frequency, the gain of the first-order lag control means is higher than the gain of the PI control means; and in a band that is higher than the second frequency, the gain of the PI control means is higher than the gain of the first-order lag control means, and

wherein the band from the first frequency to the second frequency is a band that causes load change and characteristic change of the control object after the deviation converges to zero.
