Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Steuerung oder Regelung eines Bahneigenschaftsprofils einer Papier- oder Kartonbahn im Herstellungsprozeß einer Papier- oder Kartonmaschine gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1. Weiterhin betrifft die Erfindung ein Verfahren zur Steuerung oder Regelung eines Bahneigenschaftsprofils einer Papier- oder Kartonbahn im Herstellungsprozeß einer Papier- oder Kartonmaschine gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 23.The invention relates to a device for control or regulation of a rail property profile Paper or cardboard web in the manufacturing process of a Paper or board machine according to the preamble of Claim 1. The invention further relates to a Process for controlling or regulating a Web property profile of a paper or board web in the manufacturing process of a paper or Cardboard machine according to the preamble of the claim 23rd

Bei der Herstellung einer Papier- oder Kartonbahn gibt es im Herstellungsprozeß zahlreiche Störfaktoren, die die Bahneigenschaften der Papier- oder Kartonbahn, sowohl bezüglich ihrer Gleichmäßigkeit über die Maschinenbreite hinweg, als auch bezüglich ihrer Konstanz während des Herstellungsprozesses, negativ beeinflussen können. Zu diesen Störfaktoren gehören beispielsweise Temperaturschwankungen, Druckschwankungen und Fertigungstoleranzen oder auch Fehler in der Ausführung oder Einstellung der Papiermaschine beim Herstellungsprozeß. Die wesentlichen Bahneigenschaften, die die Qualität des erzeugten Papieres beeinflussen, sind das Flächengewicht, die Faserorientierung und die Formation. Allerdings spielen auch Eigenschaften, wie der Aschegehalt, die Opazität, die Feuchtigkeit, die Bahndicke und die Rauhigkeit der Bahn eine wesentliche Rolle bei den Qualitätskriterien einer Papierbahn. In der Regel wird versucht, die obengenannten Bahneigenschaften über die gesamte Breite der Bahn und über die gesamte Länge der Bahn möglichst gleichmäßig und konstant zu halten.When making a paper or cardboard web there There are numerous disruptive factors in the manufacturing process the web properties of the paper or board web, both in terms of their uniformity over the Machine width, as well as in terms of their Consistency during the manufacturing process, negative can influence. These disruptive factors include for example temperature fluctuations, Pressure fluctuations and manufacturing tolerances or also Errors in the execution or setting of the Paper machine in the manufacturing process. The essential web properties that the quality of the affect the paper that is produced Basis weight, fiber orientation and Formation. However, properties such as the ash content, the opacity, the moisture, the Path thickness and the roughness of the path are essential Role in the quality criteria of a paper web. In usually tries the above Web properties across the entire width of the web and as evenly as possible over the entire length of the web and keep it constant.

Zur Beeinflussung eines Bahneigenschaftsprofils einer Papier- oder Kartonbahn ist folgender Stand der Technik bekannt:To influence a web property profile Paper or cardboard web is the following status Technology known:

Aus der Patentschrift DE 35 35 849 ist es bekannt, die Weite des Auslaufspaltes eines Stoffauflaufes an bestimmten Stellen der Bahnbreite so zu verändern, daß sich der Durchsatz der Stoffsuspension entsprechend örtlich verändert. Wenn sich der Durchsatz der Stoffsuspension mit über die Maschinenbreite gleicher Konzentration örtlich verändert, bewirkt dieses eine Einflußnahme auf die Menge der Feststoffe an dieser Stelle der Bahn. Somit kann durch diese Maßnahme eine Einstellung des Flächengewichts-Querprofils erreicht werden.From the patent DE 35 35 849 it is known that Width of the outlet gap of a headbox to change certain points of the web width so that the throughput of the stock suspension accordingly changed locally. If the throughput of the Stock suspension with the same across the machine width Concentration changes locally, this causes one Influencing the amount of solids on this Place of the web. Thus, a measure can Setting of the basis weight cross-section reached become.

In einer anderen Patentanmeldung DE 40 19 593 A1 der Anmelderin, die den Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1 bildet, wird eine Vorrichtung und ein Verfahren zur Regelung des Flächenmasseprofils der Bahn offenbart. Hierbei soll bei einem Abweichen des Flächenmasseprofils der Papierbahn an einer bestimmten Stelle der Bahnbreite die Konzentration des Stoffsuspensionsstromes an dieser Stelle geändert werden. Um dies zu erreichen wird vorgeschlagen, den Stoffauflauf zumindest teilweise über die Maschinenbreite zu sektionieren und mit Hilfe von geregelten Sektionsströmen mit individuell einstellbarer Konzentration zu beschicken. Die individuelle Einstellung der Konzentration des jeweiligen Sektionsstromes erfolgt durch eine Regelung der Zuströmverhältnisse zweier Einzelströme mit konstanter, jedoch unterschiedlicher Konzentration. Aufgrund des unterschiedlichen Gehaltes der Sektionsströme an Faserstoff, Asche und sonstiger Zuschlagstoffe ergibt sich eine Änderung des Flächengewichtes an der entsprechenden Stelle der Bahnbreite.In another patent application DE 40 19 593 A1 the Applicant, the preamble of claim 1 forms an apparatus and a method for Regulation of the basis weight profile of the web is disclosed. In this case, if the Basis weight profile of the paper web at a certain Place the web width the concentration of the Material suspension flow changed at this point become. To achieve this, it is proposed that Headbox at least partially over the Section width and with the help of regulated section flows with individual adjustable concentration. The individual adjustment of the concentration of the the respective section flow takes place through a regulation the inflow conditions of two individual flows with constant but different concentration. Due to the different content of the Section flows of fiber, ash and other Aggregates there is a change in Basis weight at the corresponding point of the Web width.

Im Regelverfahren wird das Flächengewichts-Querprofil der Papierbahn am Ende der Papiermaschine gemessen und mit einem Regelkreis die Zuströmverhältnisse der beiden Einzelströme unterschiedlicher Konzentration, die den jeweiligen Sektionsstrom bilden so geregelt, daß ein möglichst gleichmäßiges Flächengewichts-Querprofil entsteht.The basis weight cross-section is used in the control procedure the paper web measured at the end of the paper machine and with a control loop the inflow conditions of the two single streams of different concentration, which form the respective section flow regulated in such a way that a surface weight cross section as uniform as possible arises.

Eine ähnliche Steuer-/Regeleinrichtung, sowie ein Verfahren zur Regelung des Flächengewichts-Querprofils und des Faserorientierungs-Querprofils ist aus der Patentanmeldung DE 42 39 845 der Anmelderin bekannt. Diese Anmeldung sieht vor, den Stoffauflauf ebenfalls zumindest teilweise sektional auszubilden und die Papierstoffsuspension in den einzelnen Sektionen durch eine Zuspeisung von Verdünnungswasser oder anderen Fluiden in seiner Konsistenz und/oder Faserorientierung zu beeinflussen, um so das entsprechende Querprofil zu regeln. Ein ähnlicher sektionaler Stoffauflauf ist aus der Patentschrift DE 43 16 054 bekannt.A similar control device, as well as a Process for controlling the basis weight cross-section and the fiber orientation cross profile is from the Patent application DE 42 39 845 of the applicant is known. This registration provides for the headbox as well train at least partially sectionally and Pulp suspension in the individual sections a supply of dilution water or other Fluids in its consistency and / or To influence fiber orientation so as to to regulate the corresponding cross profile. A similar one sectional headbox is from the patent DE 43 16 054 known.

Weiterhin wird auf die Patentschrift DE 196 34 997 hingewiesen, die eine Regeleinrichtung mit einer Mehrzahl von Meßsensoren und ein Verfahren zur Regelung von verschiedenen Bahneigenschaftsprofilen beschreibt. Ebenfalls wird auf die Patentschrift DE 196 34 996 hingewiesen, die einen sektional stoffdichtegeregelten Stoffauflauf mit einer Papierstoffkonsistenzregelung offenbart.Furthermore, reference is made to the patent specification DE 196 34 997 pointed out that a control device with a A plurality of measuring sensors and a method for Regulation of various rail property profiles describes. The patent specification DE 196 34 996 pointed out that a sectionally density-controlled headbox with a Pulp consistency control disclosed.

In den Patentanmeldungen DE 42 11 291 und DE 42 11 290 ist eine sektionale Stoffdichteregelung eines Stoffauflaufes mit einem einzigen Ventil je Sektion bei gleichbleibenden Volumenstrom dargestellt. In den Patentanmeldungen DE 40 19 593 und DE 41 12 347 ist eine Stoffdichteregelung und Volumenstromregelung für einen sektionierten Stoffauflauf mit zwei Ventilen je gezeigt.In patent applications DE 42 11 291 and DE 42 11 290 is a sectional fabric density control of a Headbox with a single valve per section shown with constant volume flow. In the Patent applications DE 40 19 593 and DE 41 12 347 a material density control and volume flow control for a sectioned headbox with two valves each shown.

Ein wesentliches Problem der obengenannten Regel- und Steuervorrichtungen und Verfahren des obengenannten Standes der Technik besteht darin, daß sich unter ungünstigen Verhältnissen einzelne Stellglieder, wie zum Beispiel Ventile zur Regelung der Stoffkonzentration oder Stoffkonsistenz, oder auch Verstelleinrichtungen an der Stoffauflaufblende, in einer Endposition befinden können. Wird in einer derartigen Situation eine weitergehender, über die Endposition des Stellgliedes hinausgehender Steuerbefehl an das entsprechende Stellglied gegeben, so kann dieser nicht ausgeführt werden. Dadurch erfolgt keine gewünschte Änderung der Bahneigenschaft an der entsprechenden Stelle des Profils, obwohl das Prozeßleitsystem die Notwendigkeit einer entsprechenden Änderung erkannt hat und es entsteht eine Selbstblockierung des Regelsystems.A major problem of the above rule and Control devices and methods of the above State of the art is that under unfavorable conditions individual actuators, such as for example valves for regulating the Concentration or consistency, or also Adjustments on the headbox cover, in an end position. Will in one Such a situation is a more extensive one, about the End position of the actuator beyond Control command given to the corresponding actuator, this cannot be done. Thereby there is no desired change in the web property at the appropriate point on the profile, though that Process control system the need for a has recognized the corresponding change and it arises self-locking of the control system.

Eine solche Endposition eines Stellgliedes kann beispielsweise darin bestehen, daß ein Ventil einer Verdünnungswasser-Zuleitung eines Mischers entweder in maximaler Auf- oder maximaler Zu-Position steht und somit keine weitere Änderung der Stoffkonzentration der entsprechenden Sektion möglich ist. Es kann allerdings auch sein, daß an einer Blende des Stoffauflaufes zum Beispiel die maximale Öffnung der Blende eingestellt ist und eine weitere Öffnung angefordert wird und hierzu keine Möglichkeit besteht. Diese Situationen führen dazu, daß das Bahneigenschafts-Querprofil durch die Regeleinrichtung nicht verbessert werden kann und somit mit wesentlichen Qualitätseinbußen im Herstellungsprozeß zu rechnen ist.Such an end position of an actuator can consist, for example, that a valve one Dilution water supply line of a mixer either in maximum open or maximum closed position is and therefore no further change in the substance concentration the corresponding section is possible. It can However, it may also be that on an aperture of the Headbox for example the maximum opening of the Aperture is set and another opening is requested and there is no possibility for this. These situations cause the Web properties cross profile through the control device cannot be improved and thus with significant loss of quality in the manufacturing process is to be expected.

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, die bekannte Regeleinrichtung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1 dahingehend zu verbessern, daß die obengeschilderte Selbstblockierung der Regelung vermieden wird. Weiterhin soll ein entsprechendes Verfahren zur Steuerung oder Regelung eines Bahneigenschaftsprofils vorgeschlagen werden.It is an object of the invention, the known Control device according to the preamble of the claim 1 to improve in that the above Self-blocking of the scheme is avoided. Furthermore, a corresponding method for Control or regulation of a web property profile be proposed.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung wird durch die Merkmale des ersten Vorrichtungsanspruches und des ersten Verfahrensanspruches gelöst.The object of the invention is characterized by the features of first device claim and the first Process claim resolved.

Gemäß dem kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des ersten Vorrichtungsanspruchs wird vorgeschlagen, daß mindestens ein einstellbares Mittel zur bahnbreiten Beeinflussung des Bahneigenschaftsquerprofils der Bahneigenschaft vorgesehen ist und daß ein Mittel zur Einbeziehung der Information über die Stellung eines oder mehrerer der Vielzahl der Stellglieder zur sektionalen Beeinflussung des Bahneigenschaftsquerprofils der Bahneigenschaft zur Regelung oder Steuerung eines oder mehrerer der Mittel zur bahnbreiten Beeinflussung des Bahneigenschaftsquerprofils der Bahneigenschaft vorgesehen ist.According to the characterizing features of the first device claim suggested that at least one adjustable means for web widths Influencing the cross-sectional properties of the web Railway property is provided and that a means for Inclusion of information about the position of a or several of the multitude of actuators for the sectional Influencing the cross-sectional properties of the web Railway property for regulating or controlling an or several of the means for influencing the web width Railway property cross profile of the railway property is provided.

Gemäß den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des ersten Verfahrensanspruchs wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Stellung eines oder mehrerer der Vielzahl der Stellglieder zur sektionalen Beeinflussung des Bahneigenschaftsquerprofils der Bahneigenschaft in einer Rechnereinheit mit der Berechnung eines Korrekturwerts mindestens eines einstellbaren Mittels zur bahnbreiten Beeinflussung des Bahneigenschaftsquerprofils der Bahneigenschaft verarbeitet und einbezogen wird und dass das Bahneigenschaftsquerprofil der Bahneigenschaft durch Verstellung eines oder mehrerer der Mittel zur bahnbreiten Beeinflussung des Bahneigenschaftsquerprofils der Bahneigenschaft aufgrund des berechneten Korrekturwerts korrigiert wird. According to the distinctive features of the first Process claim is proposed that the position one or more of the plurality of actuators for sectional influencing of the web property cross profile the web property in a computer unit with the Calculation of a correction value of at least one adjustable means for influencing the web width Railway property cross profile of the railway property processed and included and that the Railway property cross profile of the railway property through Adjustment of one or more of the means for web width influencing the web property cross profile the web property based on the calculated Correction value is corrected.

Der Grundgedanke der Erfindung besteht also darin, in einem Regelprozeß oder in einer Regelvorrichtung die bisher bekannte Situation der Verstellung einzelner, nur auf eine bestimmte Sektion wirkender Stellglieder durch die Verstellung eines auf die gesamte Bahnbreite wirkenden Stellgliedes für eine bestimmte Bahneigenschaft zu überlagern, so daß sich die sektional wirkenden Stellglieder möglichst nicht in einer Endposition befinden und damit eine weitere Verstellbarkeit der Bahneigenschaft durch diese sektionalen Stellglieder erhalten bleibt.The basic idea of the invention is therefore in a control process or in a control device previously known situation of adjusting individual, actuators only acting on a specific section by adjusting one to the entire web width acting actuator for a particular Layer property to overlay, so that the Sectional acting actuators if possible not in one end position and thus another Adjustability of the web property through this sectional actuators is retained.

Ein mögliches Kriterium für die Verstellung des Stellgliedes mit maschinenbreiter Wirkung der Bahneigenschaft könnte zum Beispiel die Abweichung des Mittelwertes der sektionalen Stellglieder von ihrer Mittelstellung sein.A possible criterion for the adjustment of the Actuator with machine-wide effect For example, the web property could be the deviation of the Average of the sectional actuators from their Be in the middle position.

Ein anderes vorteilhaftes Kriterium zur Durchführung einer maschinenbreiten Einflußnahme könnte der Abstand des jeweils maximal beziehungsweise minimal stehenden Stellgliedes von ihrer möglichen Endposition darstellen. Das Ziel einer Korrektur durch das maschinenbreit wirkende Stellglied liegt dann darin, den Abstand des maximal stehenden Stellgliedes vom möglichen Maximum und des minimal stehenden Stellgliedes vom möglichen Minimum soweit wie möglich anzugleichen.Another advantageous criterion for implementation The distance could influence the machine of the maximum or minimum standing Actuator from their possible end position represent. The aim of a correction by the The machine-wide actuator is then the distance of the maximum standing actuator from possible maximum and the minimum standing Actuator from the possible minimum as much as possible equalize.

An Stelle der Position der Stellglieder als Regelgröße, kann beispielsweise auch eine bestimmte, gemessene Suspensionseigenschaft am Ausgang eines Mischers oder ein sonstiges Ergebnis, das durch die Position eines sektional wirkenden Stellgliedes beeinflußt wird, genutzt werden. Ebenfalls kann als Regelgröße eine Bahneigenschaft dienen, die mit der Position des Stellgliedes direkt oder indirekt korreliert. Eine weitere Möglichkeit zur Erreichung der Information über die Position der sektional wirkenden Stellglieder kann aus einer einfachen Berechnung der Historie der Stellbefehle an die einzelnen Stellglieder erfolgen.Instead of the position of the actuators as Controlled variable, can for example also a certain measured suspension property at the exit of a Mixer or any other result by the Position of a sectional actuator is influenced, used. Can also be used as Controlled variable serve a web property that with the Position of the actuator directly or indirectly correlated. Another way to achieve the information about the position of the sectional Actuators can be made from a simple Calculation of the history of the control commands to the individual actuators.

Beispielsweise kann es sich hierbei um das Flächengewicht, den Aschegehalt, die Bahndicke oder andere, weiter oben angegebene Bahneigenschaften handeln. In Figure 1 is a graphical representation of a Control situation according to the invention shown. The Figure 1a shows the representation of a Web property transverse profile. It is on the abscissa Position in relation to the machine width plotted. The ordinate shows the values of the orbital property. For example, this can be the Grammage, ash content, web thickness or other web properties specified above act.

Der Verlauf der aktuellen Bahneigenschaft ist in der Kurve 1 dargestellt, während die gestrichelte Linie 2 den idealen Sollwert dieser Bahneigenschaft darstellt. Der dargestellte Verlauf der Bahneigenschaft durch die Kurve 1 zeigt die Abweichungen der Bahneigenschaft vom idealen Bahneigenschafts-Querprofil an, wie sie im normalen Betrieb einer Papiermaschine vorkommen. Das heißt, die Korrekturen an den vorhandenen Stellgliedern zur Optimierung des Bahneigenschafts-Querprofils sind bereits soweit wie möglich vorgenommen.The course of the current web property is in the Curve 1 is shown, while the dashed line 2 represents the ideal setpoint for this web property. The course of the web property shown by the Curve 1 shows the deviations of the web property from ideal web properties cross profile, as in normal operation of a paper machine. The means the corrections to the existing ones Actuators for optimizing the web properties cross profile are already as far as possible performed.

In der darunterliegenden Figur 1b ist die aktuelle Stellgliedsituation von fünf ausgewählten Stellgliedern über die Bahnbreite dargestellt. Auf der Abszisse ist wiederum die Position bezüglich der Maschinenbreite aufgetragen und die Ordinate zeigt ein Maß für die anliegende Einstellung des jeweiligen Stellgliedes an. Die Linien 3 und 4 zeigen die maximal beziehungsweise minimal mögliche Endposition der jeweiligen Stellglieder an. Mit den Pfeilen 5.1 bis 5.5 ist die jeweilige Einstellsituation der einzelnen Stellglieder angegeben, wobei ausschließlich die Länge der Pfeile, also der Abstand der Pfeilspitze von der Basislinie 6, die Einstellposition des Stellgliedes darstellt. In der gezeigten Momentansituation der Stellglieder ist zu erkennen, daß sich alle Stellglieder in der oberen Hälfte ihres Einstellbereiches zwischen den Linien 3 und 4 befinden, wobei das Stellglieder 5.3 sogar seine Maximalstellung erreicht hat.The current figure is in FIG. 1b below Actuator situation of five selected Actuators shown over the web width. On the The abscissa is again the position with respect to the Machine width plotted and the ordinate shows a Measure for the adjacent setting of the respective Actuator. Lines 3 and 4 show the maximum or minimum possible end position of the respective actuators. With the arrows 5.1 to 5.5 is the respective setting situation of the individual Actuators specified, with only the length the arrows, i.e. the distance of the arrowhead from the Baseline 6, the setting position of the actuator represents. In the current situation shown the Actuators can be seen that everyone Actuators in the top half of their Adjustment range between lines 3 and 4 are located, the actuators 5.3 even his Has reached maximum position.

Zusätzlich zu den Stellungen der sektionalen Stellglieder 5.1 bis 5.5 ist das, für die maschinenbreite Verstellung der Bahneigenschaft verantwortliche Stellglied 7 mit seiner derzeitigen Position dargestellt, das wiederum die Basislinie 6 für die sektionalen Stellglieder 5.1 bis 5.5 angibt.In addition to the sectional positions Actuators 5.1 to 5.5 is the one for machine-wide adjustment of the web property responsible actuator 7 with its current Position shown, which in turn is the baseline 6 indicates for the sectional actuators 5.1 to 5.5.

Erfindungsgemäß wird nun durch ein auslösendes Ereignis eine Verstellung der Stellgliedposition 7, des über die gesamte Bahnbreite wirkenden Stellgliedes, ausgelöst und eine Parallelverschiebung aller sektionalen Stellgliedpositionen 5.1 bis 5.5 bewirkt.According to the invention is now triggered Event an adjustment of the actuator position 7, the one across the entire width of the web Actuator, triggered and a parallel shift all sectional actuator positions 5.1 to 5.5 causes.

Diese Situation ist in der Figur 1c dargestellt. Hier wird die Regelgröße des Stellgliedes 7 reduziert, so daß die Basis für die sektionalen Stellglieder 5.1 bis 5.5 angehoben wird, wodurch nach einer entsprechenden Einschwingphase die einzelnen Stellgrößen 5.1 bis 5.5 reduziert werden und sich wieder in einem mittleren Stellbereich befinden. In diesem Regelbereich ist nun wieder eine optimale Regelbarkeit der sektionalen Stellglieder erreicht.This situation is shown in Figure 1c. Here the controlled variable of the actuator 7 is reduced, so that the basis for the sectional actuators 5.1 to 5.5 is raised, resulting in a corresponding Settling phase the individual manipulated variables 5.1 to 5.5 be reduced and back in a medium Adjustment range. Is in this control range now again an optimal controllability of the sectional Actuators reached.

Das auslösende Ereignis für die Verstellung des maschinenbreit wirkenden Stellgliedes kann beispielsweise das Erreichen einer Endposition eines sektional wirkenden Stellgliedes darstellen. Ebenso kann allerdings auch eine ständige Regelung des maschinenbreit wirkenden Stellgliedes derart erfolgen, daß der Regelmechanismus versucht für die sektional wirkenden Stellglieder einen möglichst großen Abstand der maximal beziehungsweise minimal stehenden Stellglieder von der Maximal- beziehungsweise Minimalstellung zu bewirken. Dies ist insofern von Vorteil, daß in der Regel der lineare Regelbereich eines Stellgliedes im mittleren Stellbereich zu finden ist und dadurch eine Vereinfachung des Regelverhaltens des gesamten Systems erreicht werden kann.The triggering event for the adjustment of the machine-wide actuator can for example reaching an end position of a represent sectionally acting actuator. As well However, a permanent regulation of the machine-wide actuator take place such that the control mechanism tries for the sectional acting actuators as large a distance as possible the maximum or minimum standing Actuators from the maximum respectively Effect minimum position. In this respect it is from Advantage that usually the linear control range of an actuator in the middle range is and thereby simplifies the control behavior of the entire system can be achieved.

In der Figur 2 ist eine ähnliche Situation wie in Figur 1 dargestellt. Figur 2a ist identisch mit Figur 1a. In der Figur 2b ist zusätzlich der Mittelwert 8 der Summe aller Stellgliedpositionen 5.1 bis 5.5 der sektionalen Stellglieder angegeben. Es ist zu erkennen, daß der durch die Linie 8 dargestellte Mittelwert in der in der Figur 2b dargestellten Situation von der mittleren Position zwischen Maximaleinstellung 3 und Minimaleinstellung 4 der Stellglieder abweicht.A situation similar to that in FIG. 2 is shown in FIG Figure 1 shown. Figure 2a is identical to figure 1a. In FIG. 2b, the mean value is also 8 the sum of all actuator positions 5.1 to 5.5 sectional actuators. It's closed recognize that represented by line 8 Average in that shown in Figure 2b Situation from the middle position between Maximum setting 3 and minimum setting 4 of the Actuators deviate.

Diese Abweichung oder eine bestimmte, vorgegebene Größe dieser Abweichung kann als auslösendes Ereignis für die Verstellung des maschinenbreit wirkenden Stellgliedes angesehen werden. Wird das maschinenbreit wirkende Stellglied in seiner Stellgröße 7 nun entsprechend geführt, so wandert der Mittelwert der einzelnen, sektional wirkenden Stellglieder 5.1 bis 5.5 wieder in den mittleren Bereich zwischen der Maximaleinstellung 3 und der Minimaleinstellung 4 der sektional wirkenden Stellglieder ein.This deviation or a specific, predetermined one The size of this deviation can be a triggering event for the adjustment of the machine-wide acting Actuator can be viewed. Is that machine-wide acting actuator in its manipulated variable 7 now led accordingly, so the average of the individual, sectionally acting actuators 5.1 to 5.5 again in the middle area between the Maximum setting 3 and minimum setting 4 of the sectionally acting actuators.

Erfindungsgemäß ist es möglich, die Rückführung der sektionalen Stellglieder nach einer Änderung des bahnbreit wirkenden Stellgliedes über die normale Regelstrecke durchzuführen. Dies bedingt jedoch, daß durch die relativ langen Laufzeiten der Papierbahn innerhalb einer Papiermaschine bis zur Messung der betrachteten Bahneigenschaft eine lange Laufzeit und damit eine etwas träge Regelung entsteht. According to the invention, it is possible to recycle the sectional actuators after a change in web-wide actuator over the normal To carry out the controlled system. However, this requires that due to the relatively long running times of the paper web inside a paper machine until measuring the considered a long term and so that a somewhat sluggish regulation arises.

Eine vorteilhaft günstigere Situation ergibt sich, wenn gleichzeitig mit der Verstellung des bahnbreit wirkenden Stellgliedes für eine bestimmte Bahneigenschaft vom Regelsystem ein Befehl zu einer gleichzeitigen und über die Maschinenbreite gleichmäßigen Gegensteuerung aller sektional wirkenden Stellglieder gegeben wird. Diese Gegensteuerung durch alle sektional wirkenden Stellglieder sollte dabei möglichst eine vom Betrag gleich große, jedoch entgegengesetzte Wirkung zur Verstellung des maschinenbreit wirkenden Stellgliedes erzeugen. Auf diese Weise wird eine nur geringe bis keine Auswanderung des gesamten Profils vom Sollzustand erwirkt. Außerdem reduziert sich die Einschwingzeit in eine optimale Regelsituation erheblich.A more favorable situation arises if simultaneously with the adjustment of the web width acting actuator for a particular Railway property from the control system one command to one simultaneous and across the machine width uniform countermeasures of all sectionally acting Actuators is given. This countermeasure through all sectional actuators should be included if possible the same amount, however opposite effect to the adjustment of the generate machine-wide actuator. On this way there is little to none Emigration of the entire profile from the target state it acts. In addition, the settling time is reduced in an optimal control situation considerably.

In der Figur 3 ist eine erfindungsgemäße Regelvorrichtung für eine Flächengewichtsregelung mit Hilfe eines stoffdichtegeregelten Stoffauflaufes dargestellt.In Figure 3 is an inventive Control device for a basis weight control with With the help of a headbox controlled by density shown.

Der stoffdichtegeregelte Stoffauflauf 10 erhält über eine Hochkonzentratleitung 15, die über eine geregelte Pumpe 18 beschickt wird, die Stoffsuspension mit hoher Konzentration CH, der vor dem Eingang in den Stoffauflauf in einzelne Sektionalströme 15.1, 15.2 und 15.3 aufgeteilt wird. In dieser Darstellung sind aus Gründen der Übersichtlichkeit lediglich drei Teilströme dargestellt. In den realen Verhältnissen ist die Anzahl der Stoffauflaufsektionen jedoch wesentlich höher. Die einzelnen Sektionalströme 15.1 bis 15.3 werden vor dem Eintritt in den Stoffauflauf mit einzeln, volumenstromgeregelten Verdünnungsströmen 16.1 bis 16.3 mit niedriger Konzentration CL versorgt. The stock density-controlled headbox 10 receives the stock suspension with a high concentration C H , which is divided into individual sectional streams 15.1, 15.2 and 15.3 before entering the headbox via a high concentrate line 15, which is fed by a regulated pump 18. For reasons of clarity, only three partial streams are shown in this illustration. In real conditions, however, the number of headbox sections is much higher. Before entering the headbox, the individual sectional streams 15.1 to 15.3 are supplied with individual, volume flow-controlled dilution streams 16.1 to 16.3 with a low concentration C L.

Die Volumenstromregelung der sektionalen Verdünnungsströme 16.1 bis 16.3 erfolgt durch Drosselvorrichtungen 23.1 bis 23.3, die als sektionale Stellglieder wirken. Die Einstellung der sektionalen Stellglieder erfolgt über die Steuerleitungen 28.1 - 28.3, die durch eine entsprechende Recheneinheit 31 bedient werden.The volume flow control of the sectional Dilution streams 16.1 to 16.3 take place through Throttling devices 23.1 to 23.3, which are sectional Actuators act. The setting of the sectional Actuators are carried out via control lines 28.1 - 28.3, which is generated by a corresponding computing unit 31 to be served.

In der dargestellten Ausführungsform wird davon ausgegangen, daß an der Zusammenführung der einzelnen Mischströme hoher und niedriger Konzentration ein Mischer verwendet wird, wie er in der Patentanmeldung DE 42 11 291 oder DE 42 11 290 beschrieben ist. In diesem Fall ist es ausreichend je Sektion ein Ventil einzusetzen um einen jeweils gleichbleibenden, sektionalen Gesamtvolumenstrom zu erhalten. Es liegt jedoch auch im Rahmen der Erfindung die Steuerung der sektionalen Gesamtvolumenströme durch das Zusammenwirken jeweils zweier Drosselvorrichtungen zu bewirken. Letztere Funktionsweise ist beispielhaft in den Patentanmeldungen DE 40 19 593 und DE 41 12 347 dargestellt.In the illustrated embodiment, this will assumed that the bringing together of the individual Mixed flows of high and low concentration Mixer is used as in the patent application DE 42 11 291 or DE 42 11 290 is described. In In this case, one valve per section is sufficient to use a constant, to obtain the total sectional volume flow. It lies however also within the scope of the invention the control of sectional total volume flows through the Interaction between two throttle devices cause. The latter mode of operation is exemplified in patent applications DE 40 19 593 and DE 41 12 347 shown.

Der Stoffauflauf 10 gibt seine Stoffsuspension als eine maschinenbreite Schicht auf ein Sieb 11, auf dem im weiteren Verlauf der Maschine eine Faserbahn gebildet wird, indem diese stark entwässert und getrocknet und am Ende der Maschine auf eine Rolle 13 aufgewickelt wird. Vor der Aufwicklung auf die Rolle 13 wird über einen Meßrahmen 12 das Flächengewichts-Querprofil der Papierbahn gemessen und über die Meßleitung 14 dem Prozeßleitsystem 30 mit seiner Recheneinheit zugeführt. Die Recheneinheit des Prozeßleitsystems 30 errechnet anhand des gemessenen Querprofils die notwendige Verstellung der sektionalen Stellglieder, in diesem Fall der Drosselvorrichtungen 23.1 bis 23.3, und gibt diese Information über die Leitung 33 an die Recheneinheit 31 weiter, von der aus die Einstellung der Stellglieder 23.1 bis 23.3 über die Gesamtsteuerleitung 28, die sich in die Einzelsteuerleitungen 28.1 - 28.3 aufteilt vorgenommen wird. Im Rahmen der Erfindung ist es auch möglich die Ansteuerung der einzelnen Stellglieder über ein Bussystem durchzuführen.The headbox 10 gives its stock suspension as a machine-wide layer on a sieve 11 on which in the further course of the machine a fiber web is formed by draining them heavily and dried and at the end of the machine on a roll 13 is wound up. Before winding on the roll 13 is the basis weight cross section via a measuring frame 12 measured on the paper web and via the measuring line 14 the process control system 30 with its Arithmetic unit fed. The computing unit of the Process control system 30 calculated on the basis of the measured Cross section the necessary adjustment of the sectional Actuators, in this case the throttling devices 23.1 to 23.3, and gives this information about the Line 33 to the computing unit 31 from where the setting of the actuators 23.1 to 23.3 via the overall control line 28, which is in the Individual control lines 28.1 - 28.3 divided becomes. Within the scope of the invention it is also possible Control of the individual actuators via Bus system.

Das Prozeßleitsystem 30 erhält zusätzlich über eine oder mehrere Meßstellen die Information über die Konsistenz der Stoffsuspension im Stoffauflauf durch die Verbindungsleitung 24 und/oder Information über das Retentionsverhalten über die Datenleitung 25. Weiterhin steuert das Prozeßleitsystem 30 die großen Suspensionsströme über die Pumpen 18 und 19 in den Versorgungsleitungen 15 und 16 des Stoffauflaufes. Für eine genauere Einstellung der Stoffsuspensionzuführung kann, wie im vorliegenden Beispiel geschehen, ein Durchflußmesser 22 im Verdünnungsstrom vorgesehen werden; entsprechendes kann für alle Dosiersysteme in diesem Regelsystem verwirklicht werden.The process control system 30 also receives a or several measuring points provide information about the Consistency of the stock suspension in the headbox the connecting line 24 and / or information about the Retention behavior over the data line 25. Continued the process control system 30 controls the large ones Suspension flows via the pumps 18 and 19 in the Supply lines 15 and 16 of the headbox. For a more precise adjustment of the stock suspension feed can, as happened in the present example, a Flow meter 22 provided in the dilution stream become; the same can be done for all dosing systems in this control system can be realized.

Erfindungsgemäß wird nun dem Prozeßleitsystem 30 zusätzlich über eine weitere Datenleitung 32 die Information über die Stellung der Drosselvorrichtungen 23.1 bis 23.3 mitgeteilt. Diese Information kann entweder wie hier errechnet werden oder über entsprechende Meßeinrichtungen direkt an den Stellgliedern der Drosselvorrichtungen 23.1 bis 23.3 abgenommen werden sein. Auf der Basis der errechneten Stellung der sektionalen Drosselvorrichtungen 23.1 bis 23.3 errechnet das Prozeßleitsystem eine notwendige Änderung der Konzentration des Dickstoffes in der Leitung 15 und öffnet oder schließt ein maschinenbreit wirkendes Stellglied. In diesem Fall ist dies das Drosselventil 20 in der zusätzlichen Zufuhr eines Verdünnungsfluids über die Zufuhrleitung 17 zur Hochkonzentratleitung 15. Die Zufuhrleitung 17 führt entweder Frischwasser oder Verdünnungswasser, mit dessen Hilfe die Konzentration des Dickstoffes verändert werden kann. Durch diese Veränderung wird eine maschinenbreite Anhebung oder Absenkung der Konzentration der Stoffsuspension bewirkt, wodurch die Position der Stellglieder 23.1 bis 23.3 wieder in die Nähe der gewünschten Normalposition gerückt werden kann. Erfindungsgemäß kann dies entweder über die normale Regelstrecke, durch Messung des Ergebnisses am Meßrahmen 12, erfolgen. Allerdings ist es auch möglich, das notwendige Regelergebnis voraus zu berechnen und entsprechend eine gleichzeitige Verstellung der sektionalen Stellglieder 23.1 bis 23.3 zu bewirken. Zur genaueren Dosierung des zugeführten Verdünnungsfluids über die Leitung 17 ist ein Durchflußmesser 21 vorgesehen, der über die Leitung 26 mit dem Prozeßleitsystem 30 verbunden ist.According to the invention, the process control system 30 additionally via a further data line 32 Information about the position of the throttling devices 23.1 to 23.3 communicated. This information can either as calculated here or over appropriate measuring equipment directly to the Actuators of the throttle devices 23.1 to 23.3 be removed. Based on the calculated Position of the sectional throttling devices 23.1 to 23.3 the process control system calculates a necessary one Change in the concentration of the thick matter in the Line 15 and opens or closes a machine acting actuator. In this case it is Throttle valve 20 in the additional supply of a Dilution fluid via the feed line 17 to High concentrate line 15. The supply line 17 leads either fresh water or dilution water, with whose help is the concentration of the thick matter can be changed. Through this change a machine-wide increase or decrease in Concentration of the stock suspension causes, which Position the actuators 23.1 to 23.3 again in the Close to the desired normal position can. According to the invention, this can be done either via the normal controlled system, by measuring the result on Measuring frame 12 take place. However it is possible to advance the necessary control result calculate and accordingly a simultaneous Adjustment of the sectional actuators 23.1 to 23.3 to effect. For more precise dosing of the supplied Dilution fluid via line 17 is a Flow meter 21 is provided, which via the line 26th is connected to the process control system 30.

Eine andere Alternative der Ausgestaltung dieses erfindungsgemäßen Regelsystems kann darin bestehen, daß die Zufuhrleitung 17 mit Frischwasser oder reinem Siebwasser versorgt wird und an die Zufuhrleitung 16 der Niederkonzentratzufuhr 16 angeschlossen ist. Diese Ausführungsart ist in der Figur 4 dargestellt.Another alternative to designing this control system according to the invention can consist in that the supply line 17 with fresh water or pure White water is supplied and to the supply line 16 the low concentrate supply 16 is connected. This The embodiment is shown in FIG. 4.

Eine weitere Möglichkeit zur maschinenbreiten Regelung der Stoffdichte in den Zufuhrleitungen der Hochund/oder Niederkonzentratleitungen 15, 16 zum Stoffauflauf kann darin bestehen, diese beiden Zufuhrleitungen über eine weitere Förderleitung 17 miteinander zu verbinden. Wird nun notwendig die Konzentration in der Hochkonzentratleitung 15 zu reduzieren, so wird lediglich die Menge der Suspensionszufuhr von der Niederkonzentratleitung 16 zur Hochkonzentratleitung 15 erhöht oder im umgekehrten Falle erniedrigt. Dies kann beispielsweise durch eine drehzahlgeregelte Pumpe 20 in Verbindung mit einem Durchflußmesser 21 geschehen. Eine derartige Ausführung ist in der Figur 5 dargestellt.Another possibility for machine-wide control the consistency in the supply lines of the high and / or Low concentrate lines 15, 16 to Headbox can consist of these two Feed lines via a further delivery line 17 connect with each other. Now becomes necessary Concentration in the high concentrate line 15 to reduce, so only the amount of Suspension supply from the low concentrate line 16 to the high concentrate line 15 increased or reverse case lowered. For example through a speed-controlled pump 20 in connection done with a flow meter 21. Such one Execution is shown in FIG. 5.

Beschrieben werden Maßnahmen in den Figuren 3, 4 und 5, um die Konsistenz in den Leitungen 15 (QH) und 16 (QL) zu verändern.Measures are described in FIGS. 3, 4 and 5 in order to change the consistency in lines 15 (Q H ) and 16 (Q L ).

Es kann auch sinnvoll sein, ohne zusätzliches Siebwasser (Leitung 17) zuzuführen, das Verhältnis von QL/QH zu verändern, indem beispielsweise über dieses Verhältnis die Pumpen 18 und 19 geregelt wird.It can also make sense to change the ratio of Q L / Q H without supplying additional white water (line 17), for example by regulating the pumps 18 and 19 via this ratio.

Die Volumenströme QL und QH können hierbei mit Durchflußmesser gemessen und/oder aus Betriebsdaten berechnet werden.The volume flows Q L and Q H can be measured with a flow meter and / or calculated from operating data.

Mit all den aufgezeigten Ausführungsformen ist es gegenüber dem Stand der Technik möglich, wesentlich bessere Ergebnisse bei der Regelung des Stoffauflaufes einer Papierbahn zu erhalten und damit die insgesamt mit dieser Vorrichtung erzielbare Papierqualität zu verbessern. With all of the embodiments shown, it is possible compared to the prior art, essential better results in headbox control to get a paper web and thus the total paper quality achievable with this device improve.
