Computer Expert System of Equipment Operation Monitor in Continuous Casting

The data collecting system of continuous casting equipments was investigated on the hardware, software and data communicating mode to realize the real time data read from the detecting system electric PLC during the casting. A conk out's computer detection, prediction system and a database managing system for the continuous casting were designed and built in detail. The predicting model of neural network on driving roll system was studied. Some conk outs in casting mainframe were diagnosed by this expert system to prevent casting flaws in production. The new detecting system has more functions in database managing, equipment intelligent management and model algorithm than the old electric PLC system. The system works stably and effectively during one half year experience in a real production line.
