APPLICATION EXAMPLES OF ADVANCED DIGITAL CONTROL IN WIRE INDUSTRY

Abstract In wire and cable industry, mass production is done for enamel wire production and foamed insulated cable for telephone line. This paper presents applications of multivariable control to these production processes. The control systems are designed based on state space approach using the computer aided design package. The temperature distribution control of enamelling oven is presented first, and in the second, the simultaneous control of the capacitance and diameter of the foamed insulated cable is discribed. Both control systems are now practically used with satisfactory results.
