  • Graphical user interface of a control system for a pusher-type furnace in Acroni
    Vode, Franci, 1978- ...
    In hot-rolling plant of ACRONI d.o.o., a Furnace Control System (FCS), which controls individual slab reheating according to the predefined Reference Reheating Curve, is in final testing phase. A ... Graphical User Interface (GUI) for communication between the FCS and furnace operator was developed. Since the FCS uses existing mathematical model for calculation of slab temperature, the GUI of FCS is upgraded from GUI of mathematical model. The GUI is developed using open-source Xforms library on Linux-based Operating System (OS). The main window is dived into three sub-areas, where two sub-areas have additional Tabs. Four groups of drop-down menus are positioned on the top main window, altogether opening eleven sub-windows or forms. Most of these sub-windows can be opened via drop-down menus or via buttons, which are suitable positioned throughout the GUI. Shortcuts are added for closing sub-windows. Access to sub-windows is protected by password, where required; e.g. change of RRC. Data exchange between the GUI and FCS is performed via Database Tables, Files and Shared Memory. The GUI is used for inserting required data such as: inserting delays - duration and occurrence instant, selection of agglomeration function in zones, determination of discharging temperature difference limit, etc. The GUI is also used for maintaining different database tables such as Reference Reheating Curve (RRC) table. A RRC editor is also build-in, where different useful modifications can be made for manually adjusting selected RRC. Informative warnings and errors of FCS are also displayed for user-friendly detection of FCS malfunction.
