Roll-to-Roll systems handling web material such as papers, polymers, textiles or metals are very common in the industry. One of the main objectives in web handling plant is to reach an expected web speed while maintaining the web tension within an acceptable range around the tension reference in the entire processing line. In the recent years, several works have focused on the topic of web tension control using H∞ approaches. In the traditional way, each motor driven roller is controlled in speed and the web tension control is ensured by an external loop. This paper proposes to compare, for the first time, the traditional control strategy with a control strategy including position control rather than speed control. In fact, position control is commonly used in printing industry. The comparison will be ensured in frequency and time domain and take into account the reference tracking performances and the robustness to web elasticity variations.

The dynamic model of wire rope with contact is presented based on finite element method and the flexible multi-body dynamics theory by putting the contact force between the wire rope and drum. The unilateral anti-sway and tension control strategy is put forward, and the dynamic model and collaborative simulation of payload motion for deployment system is modeled by dynamic analysis software RecurDyn and control library Colink. The correctness of the collaborative simulation model and control strategy is validated by analysis and comparison , which lays the foundation for further research on dynamic simulation of virtual prototype in nonlinear and complex mechanical-control system.

Based on the study of coiler tension indirect control process, the purpose is to improve the control accuracy of the constant tension by the introduction of RBF neural networks and inverse system control theory. Depending on the physical characteristic of coiling tension control process, it could build the inverse system model for coiling tension control. By analyzing simulation results, this control strategy has great significance to the actual production.

Abstract Freeway networks reach their limits, since it is usually impossible to increase traffic volumes by indefinitely extending transport infrastructure through adding new traffic lanes. One of the possible solutions is to use advanced intelligent transport systems, particularly ramp metering systems. The paper shows how two particular algorithms of local and traffic-responsive control (Zone, ALINEA) can be adapted to simplified conditions corresponding to Slovak freeways. Both control strategies are modelled and simulated using PTV Vissim software, including the module VisVAP. Presented results demonstrate the properties of both control strategies, which are compared mutually as well as with the initial situation in which no control strategy is applied

An integrated batch annealing furnace simulator with the capability of predicting spatial and temporal evolution of temperature, microstructure and mechanical properties of the coils during the batch annealing operation has been developed. The prediction capability of this integrated simulator has been extensively validated with data collected from several industrial batch annealing operations. In this article, the problems in controlling a batch annealing operation via conventional temperature based control strategy has been highlighted. These problems can be effectively resolved by using the integrated simulator. Furthermore, the utility of this simulator has been illustrated by a case study on optimization of coil dimensions for maximization of furnace productivity.
