Abstract
The continuous annealing process line (CAPL) has complex process characteristics, such as strong correlation of a large number of process variables and interconnected multi-subsystems and multiple operation zones. Practitioners are concerned with typical process faults, such as strip-break and roll-slippage, whose effects are often confined in a specific zone. Considering the large-scale process characteristics and fault characteristics, a multi-block fault diagnosis method is proposed. A novel reconstruction-based block contribution (RBBC) is first proposed in order to diagnose the faulty block. The reconstruction-based variable contribution (RBVC) within a block is also proposed to determine the faulty variables. The proposed RBBC-RBVC hierarchical scheme is applied successfully to a real CAPL on two fault cases. A finite state machine is utilized to diagnose strip-break and reconstructed combined index is studied to diagnose roll-slippage. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
