Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Überwachungssystem für mindestens eine Vorrichtung zur Herstellung und/oder Bearbeitung einer Warenbahn, sowie eine Vorrichtung und ein Verfahren, bei denen das Überwachungssystem zum Einsatz kommt.The invention relates to a monitoring system for at least one device for producing and / or processing a web, as well as an apparatus and a method in which the monitoring system is used.

Bei der Herstellung und/oder Bearbeitung von Warenbahnen führt die Forderung nach einer Steigerung der Produktivität zu immer höheren Produktionsleistungen der verwendeten Vorrichtungen und infolgedessen auch zu immer höheren Geschwindigkeiten der Warenbahnen bzw. höheren Maschinengeschwindigkeiten.In the production and / or processing of webs, the demand for an increase in productivity leads to ever higher production rates of the devices used and, consequently, to ever higher speeds of the webs or higher machine speeds.

Auf eine Warenbahn einwirkende Kräfte, die bei niedrigen Geschwindigkeiten noch unproblematisch sind, führen bei hohen Geschwindigkeiten zu Erscheinungen wie beispielsweise einem Flattern der Warenbahn und verursachen in Folge deren Abriss. Solche unkontrollierten und unerwünschten Abrisse haben immer einen Maschinenstillstand und somit einen Produktionsausfall zur Folge. Ein weiteres Problem in Verbindung mit derartigen Abrissen besteht darin, dass die Warenbahn unkontrolliert durch die Vorrichtung oder einen Teilbereich der Vorrichtung läuft, sofern das Auftreten eines Abrisses nicht schnell genug erkannt wird.On a web acting forces that are still unproblematic at low speeds, at high speeds to phenomena such as fluttering of the web and cause their demolition in consequence. Such uncontrolled and unwanted breaks always have a machine downtime and thus a loss of production result. Another problem associated with such breaks is that the web runs unchecked through the device or a portion of the device unless the occurrence of a tear is detected quickly enough.

Um die Ursache eines Abrisses einer Warenbahn analysieren zu können, werden derzeit erste Analyseeinrichtungen verwendet die unter anderem Laserscanner, Videosysteme, Lichtschranken, Abrissdetektoren, usw. einsetzen. Beispielsweise offenbaren die Dokumente DE 42 16 653 A1 und US 5, 239, 376 Verfahren und erste Analyseeinrichtungen zur Erkennung eines Abrisses einer Warenbahn.In order to be able to analyze the cause of a web tear, the first analysis devices are currently being used which, among others, use laser scanners, video systems, light barriers, demolition detectors, etc. For example, the documents reveal DE 42 16 653 A1 and US 5, 239, 376 Method and first analysis devices for detecting a tear of a web.

Es müssen aber nicht nur Abrisse zuverlässig detektiert werden. Weiterhin sind auch kontinuierliche Qualitätskontrollen und eine permanente Erfassung sonstiger Mess- und Einflussgrößen erforderlich, die die Herstellung und/oder Bearbeitung einer Warenbahn beeinflussen. Dazu sind diverse weitere Analyseeinrichtungen vorgesehen.However, not only breaks must be reliably detected. Furthermore, continuous quality controls and a permanent recording of other measuring and influencing variables are necessary, which influence the production and / or processing of a material web. For this purpose, various other analysis devices are provided.

Als typische Beispiele für Vorrichtungen zur Herstellung und/oder Bearbeitung von Warenbahnen, z.B. aus Papier, Karton, Kunststofffolie, Metallfolie, Textilien oder Verbundwerkstoffen umfassend zwei oder mehr dieser Materialien, sind unter anderem Papiermaschinen, Druckmaschinen, Kalander, Rotationsstanzmaschinen, Rotationsschneidmaschinen und dergleichen zu nennen.As typical examples of apparatuses for producing and / or processing webs, e.g. Paper, cardboard, plastic film, metal foil, textiles or composites comprising two or more of these materials include paper machines, printing machines, calenders, rotary die-cutting machines, rotary cutting machines and the like.

Dem Betreiber einer Vorrichtung zur Herstellung und/oder Bearbeitung einer Warenbahn stehen somit, von den diversen ersten und weiteren Analyseeinrichtungen gelieferte Signale zur Verfügung, um eine Zustands- und Prozessüberwachung im Bereich der Vorrichtung durchzuführen.The operator of a device for producing and / or processing a material web is thus provided with signals from the various first and further analysis devices in order to carry out state and process monitoring in the region of the device.

Eine Korrelation verschiedener Signale miteinander, insbesondere von mehr als zwei Signalen, gestaltet sich derzeit als schwierig. Mess- und Einflussgrößen, die auf den Bediener der Vorrichtung, Umgebungseinflüsse und dergleichen zurückzuführen sind, lassen sich ebenfalls nur schwer miteinander und mit Signalen hinsichtlich einer Abrisserkennung korrelieren.A correlation of different signals with each other, in particular of more than two signals, is currently difficult. Measuring and influencing variables which are attributable to the operator of the device, environmental influences and the like are also difficult to correlate with each other and with signals relating to demolition detection.

Es stellt sich somit die Aufgabe, eine verbesserte Möglichkeit zur Überwachung mindestens einer Vorrichtung zur Herstellung und/oder Bearbeitung einer Warenbahn bereitzustellen.It is therefore the object to provide an improved possibility for monitoring at least one device for producing and / or processing a web.

Die Aufgabe wird durch ein Überwachungssystem für mindestens eine Vorrichtung zur Herstellung und/oder Bearbeitung einer Warenbahn gelöst, indem das Überwachungssystem mindestens eine Recheneinheit umfasst und eingerichtet ist, eine Zustands - und Prozessüberwachung an der mindestens einen Vorrichtung durchzuführen, indem eine Erfassung und zeitsynchrone Visualisierung von Signalen erfolgt, die mittels mindestens einer ersten Analyseeinrichtung zur Erkennung eines Abrisses der Warenbahn in der mindestens einen Vorrichtung und mittels einer Anzahl an weiteren Analyseeinrichtungen zur Erfassung von physikalischen Mess- und Einflussgrößen im Bereich der mindestens einen Vorrichtung generierbar sind.The object is achieved by a monitoring system for at least one device for producing and / or processing a material web, in that the monitoring system comprises and is set up at least one arithmetic unit, a status and process monitoring on the at least one device perform by detecting and time-synchronized visualization of signals by means of at least a first analysis device for detecting a tear of the web in the at least one device and by means of a number of other analysis devices for detecting physical measuring and influencing variables in the region of at least one device can be generated.

Die Aufgabe wird weiterhin durch eine Vorrichtung zur Herstellung und/oder Bearbeitung einer Warenbahn gelöst, umfassend mindestens eine erste Analyseeinrichtung zur Erkennung eines Abrisses der Warenbahn und eine Anzahl an weiteren Analyseeinrichtungen zur Erfassung von physikalischen Mess- und Einflussgrößen, wobei die Vorrichtung mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Überwachungssystem verbunden ist.The object is further achieved by a device for producing and / or processing a web, comprising at least a first analysis device for detecting a tear of the web and a number of further analysis devices for detecting physical measurement and influencing variables, wherein the device with the monitoring system according to the invention connected is.

Die Aufgabe wird schließlich durch ein Verfahren zur Überwachung mindestens einer Vorrichtung zur Herstellung und/oder Bearbeitung einer Warenbahn unter Verwendung des erfindungsgemäßen Überwachungssystems gelöst, wobei mittels des Überwachungssystems, das mindestens eine Recheneinheit umfasst, eine Zustands- und Prozessüberwachung an der mindestens einen Vorrichtung durchgeführt wird, indem eine Erfassung und zeitsynchrone Visualisierung von Signalen erfolgt, welche mittels mindestens einer ersten Analyseeinrichtung zur Erkennung eines Abrisses der Warenbahn und mittels einer Anzahl an weiteren Analyseeinrichtungen zur Erfassung von physikalischen Mess- und Einflussgrößen generiert werden.The object is finally achieved by a method for monitoring at least one device for producing and / or processing a web using the monitoring system according to the invention, wherein by means of the monitoring system comprising at least one arithmetic unit, a state and process monitoring is performed on the at least one device in that a detection and time-synchronized visualization of signals takes place, which are generated by means of at least one first analysis device for detecting a tear of the material web and by means of a number of further analysis devices for detecting physical measuring and influencing variables.

Unter einer "zeitsynchronen Visualisierung" wird dabei eine vom Bediener einer Vorrichtung optisch erfassbare Darstellung aller Signale über einer gemeinsamen Zeitachse verstanden, anhand der eine zeitliche Korrelation der einzelnen erfassten Signale quasi auf einen Blick möglich ist.A "time-synchronized visualization" is understood to mean an optically detectable representation of all signals on a common time axis by the operator of a device, on the basis of which temporal correlation of the individual detected signals is possible at a glance.

Die Erfindung hat den Vorteil, dass der Betreiber einer Vorrichtung nun nicht mehr unterschiedliche Anzeigen oder Displays an verschiedenen Analyseeinrichtungen, die meist räumlich voneinander getrennt angeordnet sind, beobachten, gegebenenfalls auswerten und per Hand miteinander korrelieren muss. Das Überwachungssystem ermöglicht eine gleichzeitige Darstellung von Signalen, die bisher nicht ohne weiteres miteinander korrelierbar waren. Dies ermöglicht eine besonders schnelle und effektive Fehlersuche und Fehleranalyse an der mindestens einen Vorrichtung. Fehler im Bereich der mindestens einen Vorrichtung können gegebenenfalls bereits vor ihrer Entstehung vorausgesehen werden und dadurch rechtzeitiger als bisher eingegriffen und Gegenmaßnahmen eingeleitet werden. Die Qualitätssicherung und Dokumentation wird durch das Überwachungssystem wesentlich vereinfacht und die Produktionsleistung erhöht.The invention has the advantage that the operator of a device now no longer different displays or displays on different analysis devices, which are usually spatially are separated from each other, observe, if necessary evaluate and correlate by hand with each other. The monitoring system allows a simultaneous display of signals that were previously not readily correlated with each other. This allows a particularly fast and effective troubleshooting and error analysis on the at least one device. Errors in the area of the at least one device can, if appropriate, be anticipated even before their formation, thereby intervening in a timely manner and countermeasures are taken. The quality assurance and documentation is considerably simplified by the monitoring system and the production output is increased.

Zudem können mehrere voneinander unabhängige Vorrichtungen mittels eines einzigen Überwachungssystems'überwacht und gegebenenfalls deren erfasste Signale im Vergleich zueinander betrachtet werden. Dies ermöglicht eine noch verbesserte Erkennung von kritischen Mess- und Einflussgrößen sowie von Wechselwirkungen, die bei einer Betrachtung einer einzelnen Vorrichtung nicht ohne weiteres sichtbar werden.In addition, a plurality of mutually independent devices can be monitored by means of a single monitoring system and, if appropriate, their detected signals can be viewed in comparison with one another. This allows even better detection of critical measurement and influencing variables as well as interactions that are not readily apparent when looking at a single device.

Die mindestens eine Recheneinheit des Überwachungssystems umfasst vorzugsweise mindestens ein Computerprogramm, mittels welchem die Signale der ersten und weiteren Analyseeinrichtungen erfassbar und auf einem Zeitstrahl synchronisierbar sind. Besonders bevorzugt sind die Signale mittels des mindestens einen Computerprogramms zeitsynchron über einen längeren Zeitraum auf zeichen- und speicherbar. So können auch Vergleiche mit Aufzeichnungen anderer Vorrichtungen, die auf der gleichen Recheneinheit oder einer anderen Recheneinheit des Überwachungssystems erfasst sind/werden, problemlos durchgeführt werden.The at least one computing unit of the monitoring system preferably comprises at least one computer program, by means of which the signals of the first and further analysis devices can be detected and synchronized on a timeline. Particularly preferably, the signals are time-synchronized by means of the at least one computer program over a longer period on sign and storable. Thus, comparisons with records of other devices, which are / are on the same processing unit or other processing unit of the monitoring system, can be easily performed.

Es müssen dabei nicht alle Signale, die von den vorhandenen ersten und/oder weiteren Analyseeinrichtungen der mindestens einen Vorrichtung generiert werden, im Überwachungssystem erfasst werden. Jedoch sollten zumindest die Signale, die dem Bediener bereits als relevant bekannt sind, erfasst werden. Es hat sich allerdings bewährt, alle im Bereich der mindestens einen Vorrichtung vorhandenen Signale zu erfassen, um neben den bereits bekannten auch bisher noch nicht bekannte Wechselwirkungen und Beeinflussungen zwischen Mess- und Einflussgrößen erkennen zu können.Not all signals that are generated by the existing first and / or further analysis devices of the at least one device need to be detected in the monitoring system. However, at least the signals that the Operators are already known to be relevant. However, it has proven to be effective to detect all signals present in the region of the at least one device in order to be able to recognize, in addition to the previously known and hitherto unknown interactions and influences between measured variables and influencing variables.

Das Überwachungssystem umfasst bevorzugt mindestens eine Anzeigeeinheit, wie beispielsweise einen Bildschirm, ein Display oder dergleichen, zur zeitsynchronen Visualisierung der von der mindestens einen Recheneinheit erfassten und synchronisierten Signale. Dabei kann es sich um eine direkt an der mindestens einen Vorrichtung angeordnete Anzeigeeinheit und/oder eine in einiger Entfernung zu der mindestens einen Vorrichtung, beispielweise eine in einem Leitstand zur Fernbedienung einer Vorrichtung angeordnete Anzeigeeinheit handeln. Dabei ist die mindestens eine Anzeigeeinheit über eine Leitung oder per Funk mit der mindestens einen Recheneinheit verbunden oder ist alternativ ein Bestandteil der mindestens einen Recheneinheit.The monitoring system preferably comprises at least one display unit, such as a screen, a display or the like, for the time-synchronized visualization of the signals detected and synchronized by the at least one arithmetic unit. This may be a display unit arranged directly on the at least one device and / or a display unit arranged at some distance from the at least one device, for example a display unit arranged in a control station for remote control of a device. In this case, the at least one display unit is connected via a line or by radio with the at least one arithmetic unit or is alternatively a component of the at least one arithmetic unit.

Die mindestens eine Recheneinheit ist insbesondere eingerichtet, Signale zu erfassen, welche von mindestens einem Laserscanner und/oder mindestens einer Kamera und/oder mindestens einer Videokamera und/oder mindestens einer Lichtschranke und/oder mindestens einem Helligkeitssensor oder dergleichen generierbar sind. Diese werden bevorzugt im Bereich einer ersten Analyseeinrichtung zur Erkennung eines Abrisses der Warenbahn eingesetzt.The at least one arithmetic unit is in particular configured to detect signals that can be generated by at least one laser scanner and / or at least one camera and / or at least one video camera and / or at least one light barrier and / or at least one brightness sensor or the like. These are preferably used in the region of a first analysis device for detecting a tear of the material web.

Die mindestens eine Recheneinheit ist weiterhin vorzugsweise dazu eingerichtet, Signale zu erfassen, die von mindestens einem Drehzahlsensor und/oder mindestens einem Strommessgerät und/oder mindestens einem Spannungsmessgerät und/oder mindestens einem Temperaturfühler und/oder mindestens einem Feuchtemessgerät und/oder mindestens einem akustischen Warngerät und/oder mindestens einem optischen Warngerät oder dergleichen generierbar sind.The at least one arithmetic unit is further preferably configured to detect signals from at least one rotational speed sensor and / or at least one ammeter and / or at least one voltage measuring device and / or at least one temperature sensor and / or at least one moisture meter and / or at least one acoustic warning device and / or at least one optical warning device or the like can be generated.

Es können weitere Signale, die eine Bewegung der Warenbahn, einen Defekt der Warenbahn, wie z.B. in Form von Löchern, Rissen, Falten, Randumschlägen usw., einen Defekt der Vorrichtung, einen Einfluss durch einen Bediener oder sonstiges widerspiegeln, mittels der mindestens einen Recheneinheit erfasst, synchronisiert und über die mindestens eine Anzeigeeinheit zeitsynchron visualisiert werden.There may be other signals indicating a movement of the web, a defect of the web such as e.g. in the form of holes, cracks, wrinkles, edge envelopes, etc., a defect of the device, an influence by an operator or otherwise reflect, are detected by means of at least one arithmetic unit, synchronized and visualized time synchronously via the at least one display unit.

Mittels des Überwachungssystems können bevorzugt auch mindestens zwei Vorrichtungen zur Herstellung und/oder Bearbeitung einer oder je einer Warenbahn überwacht werden. Dabei können die überwachten Vorrichtungen unabhängig voneinander oder parallel betrieben werden, beispielsweise zwei Papiermaschinen, die jeweils eine Warenbahn erzeugen. Die überwachten Vorrichtungen können aber auch nacheinander betrieben werden. Dies wäre beispielsweise bei einer Papiermaschine und einer unmittelbar nachfolgenden Rotationsstanzmaschine der Fall, wobei in die, in der Papiermaschine erzeugte Warenbahn mittels der Rotationsstanzmaschine Öffnungen gestanzt werden.

  • Figur 1 zeigt schematisch ein mögliches Beispiel für ein Überwachungssystem bzw. eine Vorrichtung und ein Verfahren gemäß der Erfindung.
By means of the monitoring system, it is also possible to monitor at least two devices for producing and / or processing one or each one material web. In this case, the monitored devices can be operated independently or in parallel, for example, two paper machines, each producing a web. The monitored devices can also be operated sequentially. This would be the case, for example, with a paper machine and an immediately following rotary punching machine, wherein openings are punched in the web of material produced in the paper machine by means of the rotary punching machine.
  • FIG. 1 schematically shows a possible example of a monitoring system and a device and a method according to the invention.

Figur 1 zeigt in der unteren Bildhälfte schematisch eine Vorrichtung 2 zur Herstellung einer Warenbahn 4. Die Vorrichtung 2 umfasst eine Papiermaschine 3, in der die Warenbahn 4, hier in Form einer Papierbahn, gebildet und in Pfeilrichtung transportiert wird. Die Vorrichtung 2 umfasst weiterhin eine erste Analyseeinrichtung 5 zur Erkennung eines Abrisses der Warenbahn 4, welche im Bereich der Papiermaschine 3 die Messgrößen M1, M2, M3, M4 mittels Lichtschranken und Drehzahlsensoren sammelt, verknüpft und im Fall eines detektierten Abrisses der Warenbahn 4 ein Warnsignal ausgibt. Die erste Analyseeinrichtung 5 kann dabei auch in die Steuerung und/oder Regelung der Papiermaschine 3 eingreifen, um einen drohenden Abriss zu verhindern und/oder nach erfolgtem Abriss Sicherungsmaßnahmen einzuleiten, wie beispielsweise einen Stopp der Papiermaschine 3 und dergleichen. Die Vorrichtung 2 umfasst weitere Analyseeinrichtungen 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d zur Erfassung von physikalischen Mess- und Einflussgrößen im Bereich der Vorrichtung 2. So handelt es sich bei einer ersten der weiteren Analyseeinrichtungen 6a um ein Multimeter, das eine Messgröße M5 in Form einer Stromaufnahme und eine Messgröße M6 in Form einer Spannung eines Antriebsmotors im Bereich der Papiermaschine 3 erfasst. Bei einer zweiten der weiteren Analyseeinrichtungen 6b handelt es sich um eine Temperaturmesseinrichtung, welche als eine Einflussgröße E1 auf die Papiermaschine 3 die Umgebungstemperatur erfasst. FIG. 1 shows in the lower half schematically a device 2 for producing a web 4. The device 2 comprises a paper machine 3, in which the web 4, here in the form of a paper web, is formed and transported in the direction of the arrow. The device 2 further comprises a first analysis device 5 for detecting a tear of the web 4, which collects the measured variables M1, M2, M3, M4 by means of light barriers and speed sensors in the area of the paper machine 3, and in the case of a detected tear of the web 4, a warning signal outputs. The first analysis device 5 can also intervene in the control and / or regulation of the paper machine 3 in order to prevent an imminent demolition and / or initiate safety measures after the demolition has taken place, such as a stop the paper machine 3 and the like. The device 2 comprises further analysis devices 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d for detecting physical measurement and influencing variables in the region of the device 2. Thus, a first of the further analysis devices 6a is a multimeter which has a measured variable M5 in the form of a current consumption and detects a measured variable M6 in the form of a voltage of a drive motor in the area of the paper machine 3. A second of the further analysis devices 6b is a temperature measuring device which detects the ambient temperature as an influencing variable E1 on the paper machine 3.

Bei einer dritten der weiteren Analyseeinrichtungen 6c handelt es sich um eine Videokamera, welche als Messgrößen M7 und M8 Bilder der Warenbahn 4 während des Durchlaufs durch die Papiermaschine 3 liefert. Mittels der Videokamera können eine Faltenbildung, Löcher, Randumschläge, Risse oder sonstige Fehler in der Warenbahn 4 erkannt werden. Bei einer vierten der weiteren Analyseeinrichtungen 6d handelt es sich um ein Feuchtemessgerät, welches als eine Einflussgröße E2 auf die Papiermaschine 3 die absolute Luftfeuchte in der Umgebung der Papiermaschine 3 erfasst. Selbstverständlich können noch zusätzliche weitere Analyseeinrichtungen vorhanden sein, die Defekte an der Papiermaschine 3, den Verlauf der Warenbahn 4 in der Papiermaschine 3, Vorgaben des Bedieners, Einflüsse durch den Bediener, weitere Fremdeinflüsse, wie z.B. durch Vibration oder Sonneneinstrahlung, und dergleichen erfassen.A third of the further analysis devices 6c is a video camera which, as measured variables M7 and M8, delivers images of the web 4 during the passage through the paper machine 3. By means of the video camera, a wrinkling, holes, edge envelopes, cracks or other defects in the web 4 can be detected. A fourth of the further analysis devices 6d is a moisture measuring device, which detects the absolute humidity in the surroundings of the paper machine 3 as an influencing variable E2 on the paper machine 3.
