Designing a PID controller for slab temperature control system

The problem of heating slab is a very important and highly applicable problem in the material processing industry. This paper presents a method to design a PID controller according to the characteristic polynomial method to control the temperature for slab based on the transfer function model. The parameters of the PID controller are determined based on the parameters of the slab model, the heating furnace model, the converter model. The simulation results show that: the PID controller is capable of controlling the temperature of the slab to the desired temperature without over-adjusting.
