Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for decentralized casting data processing of the measurement data obtained from a continuous casting mold via sensors in a process computer of the control of the continuous casting plant, as well as the use of this device.
  • thermocouples and resistance thermocouples are arranged on the continuous casting mold, the thermo leads of which are each routed via two terminal connections to a so-called master cable.
  • thermocouples and 40 resistance thermocouples cause 240 thermal cables, all of which must be routed to the trunk cable.
  • thermoelectric cables run to transducers.
  • the trunk cable is connected to a so-called multi-coupling (coupling and counter-coupling) to an energy supply outside the oscillating continuous casting mold on the rigid part of the continuous casting plant, the so-called "mainland".
  • All thermowires, terminal boxes and the trunk cable are exposed to a temperature of approx. 60 - 100 ° C.
  • unavoidable contamination eg by slag splash, and also occurs moisture.
  • thermocouples and resistor thermocouples operate with voltages in the 10 - 500 mV range, electromagnetic fields of other organs on the continuous casting mold also have an effect.
  • This design requires for various units on the continuous casting mold (eg the adjustment for the narrow side plates, for displacement sensor, remote stations for temperature measuring points, etc.) increased changeover times, high installation costs and high installation and cabling, high material costs and high maintenance.
  • the prior art includes a device for determining the melt level in a continuous casting mold (DE - OS 26 55 640).
  • this design provides only means for detachably mounting a detector box in the water jacket of the continuous casting mold and cooling water inlet and outlet means in the detector box for guiding cooling water through the detector box for cooling the electromagnetic coil with protective housing built into it. Therefore, this solution can not be applied to thermocouples and resistor thermocouples disposed on the continuous casting mold.
  • the measuring method is also designed differently.
  • the invention is based on the object, by electronic means u.a. to process the casting data measured via sensors in more efficient ways and thereby also to simplify the device.
  • the stated object is achieved by the device according to claim 1.
  • This device can be used so that the measurement and control data collected in cooled fieldbus modules directly on the continuous casting mold and transferred in bus signals in a bus line and stored at least in the control of the continuous casting and / or processed. This considerably shortens and simplifies the data path and also simplifies the device, as will be explained in more detail below. It is particularly advantageous that only the connection to a located on the "mainland" terminal box to solve or connect, so that the change times are significantly reduced, the installation and cabling is reduced, the material costs are reduced, the maintenance is reduced and As a result, the application of steel can be significantly increased.
  • the data processing can also take place in the fieldbus module itself or even via an intemet connection with global connection. In this case, data can be collected by sensors or actuators, namely Drehgebem, Winkelmessgebem (so-called. Inklinometem), pumps, flow meters, controllable valves electric motors u. etc. ..
  • the recorded measurement data or additionally input specific data via the bus lines are given as control signals to actuators and / or actuators in the region of the continuous casting mold.
  • the system can also be actively used to control or regulate the casting process.
  • a further development of the invention provides that the data exchange and the power supply is carried out at least between the fieldbus modules and the process computer via a hybrid coupling. As a result, both data streams and energy flows can be conducted in an electrical conductor.
  • the hybrid coupling is formed from a communication bus and a power supply.
  • the entire streams run through a single hybrid cable.
  • the hybrid coupling is operated in the presence of a cooling medium.
  • the continuous casting mold cooling water can also be used for cooling. It is also possible to use a foreign supplied coolant (gas or liquid).
  • the fieldbus modules can be cooled by means of the existing continuous casting mold coolant flow. As a result, a minimal additional effort is achieved.
  • Another variant provides that the fieldbus modules are enclosed in a cooled protective housing.
  • a foreign cooling with exclusion of moisture in the supplied cooling medium appropriate.
  • the communication bus is formed physically from electrical or electronic line technology, optical fiber technology or wireless transmission technology.
  • the wireless transmission technology consists of a radio transmission or is formed on the basis of infrared radiation.
  • Another development of the invention provides that by means of the coolant flow in the continuous casting mold a generator can be driven, which supplies electrically operated organs on the continuous casting mold.
  • the energy supply for the generator consists in the flow energy of the cooling water.
  • a variant of this is that the drive movement for the generator from the continuous casting mold oscillation movement is derivable.
  • the method for decentralized casting data processing of the measurement data obtained on a continuous casting mold 1 via thermosensors or resistance thermosensors 10 in a process computer 11 having a redundant connection 11a of the control of the continuous casting installation (FIG. 1) is carried out in such a way that it is distributed among a plurality of the continuous casting mold 1 arranged thermosensors and / or resistance thermosensors 10 collected measured data collected in a cooled fieldbus module 2 directly on the continuous casting mold 1 and transferred as bus signals in a bus line 3 and stored in the control of the continuous casting and processed.
  • the recorded measurement data or additionally entered, specific data via the single bus line 3 can be given as control signals to actuators and / or actuators in the region of the continuous casting mold 1.
  • actuators come e.g.
  • the kokill specific information relates to e.g. the copper plate thickness, the degree of wear, the state of the thermal sensors or the resistance thermosensors 10, as well as the maintenance cycles.
  • the hybrid coupling forms a hybrid cable 6 with a communication bus 7 and a power supply.
  • the hybrid cable 6 can also be operated under a cooling 8 as the fieldbus modules 2.
  • the available continuous casting mold coolant flow 8a can be used as cooling 8 for the fieldbus modules 2.
  • the fieldbus modules 2 are surrounded by a cooled protective housing 9.
  • a separate air conditioning unit 12 is installed ( Figures 2 and 3).
  • the protective housing 9 rests on the continuous casting mold 1 or on the water box 19, so that the fieldbus modules 2 are at the shortest distance from the thermal sensors 10 and are cooled by the coolant flow 8a and / or the air conditioning unit 12.
  • the communication bus 7 consists physically of electrical or electronic line technology or of optical waveguide technology or of wireless transmission technology, wherein the wireless transmission technology can be formed from a radio transmission 16 or due to infrared rays.
  • the fieldbus modules 2 (remote module) and a transceiver module 20 are arranged as electrically operated members 18 on the continuous casting mold 1.
  • a generator 17 is arranged, which generates electricity via the coolant flow 8a and represents a power supply 21 for the electrically operated members 18.
  • the drive movement for the generator 17 can also be derived from the continuous casting mold oscillation movement.
