Completed projects:

1. Advanced Control of Industrial Plants – Road Tunnel Učka Ventilation Control System

This project is concerned with the problem of developing a simulator for the road tunnel Učka ventilation system as well as an NT Windows-based control system for the same system. LARICS is the partner of the EXOR project team taking full responsibility for the control part of the system. The simulator has been fully developed and tested, while the fuzzy-predictive ventilation control system is installed and running on site since May 2005.

Year: 2005

Principal investigator: Stjepan Bogdan

Project publications: S. Bogdan, B. Birgmajer, “Fuzzy-predictive control of a road tunnel ventilation system” in the Proceedings of the IEEE International Symposium on Industrial Electronics ISIE 2005, Dubrovnik, 2005

 

2. Advanced Control of Industrial Plants – Cold Rolling Mill Control (TLM Šibenik)

This project is concerned with the problem of developing a PLC-based control system for metal strip thickness (AGC) and flatness (AFC) control of a cold rolling mill. EXOR – Zagreb got a contract for this job from TLM Šibenik. LARICS people joined the EXOR project team taking full responsibility for the control part of the system. The system is has been fully developed, tested, installed and running on site in September 2002.

Year: 2001-2002

Principal investigators: Zdenko Kovačić, Stjepan Bogdan

Installation and commissioning of a new cold rolling mill control system have been successfully finished in only two days – September 17-18, 2002, which has been assumed by the experts from EXOR Control Engineering and by the TLM operators as the greatest possible achievement. The new cold rolling mill control system is running non-stop in all three production shifts. Some of the results of the achieved aluminum strip quality can be seen on the photos in our photo album.

Complete technical documentation and User’s manual in English and Croatian have been written for our partners, EXOR Control Engineering d.o.o., Zagreb and TLM, Šibenik.

3. Advanced Control of Industrial Plants – Paper Machine Control

This ABB Pulp and Paper Industry branch project was concerned with a problem of developing a low-end system for supervision and control of a paper machine. It is made for the Windows NT platform and its aim is to satisfy the needs of customers with less complex paper machine installations. EXOR – Zagreb having a well-established partnership with ABB in the paper industry area got a contract for this job. LARICS people joined the EXOR project team taking full responsibility for the control part of the system. The system was tested first, and then successfully installed in several paper mills.
