Intelligent Gauge Control System Using ARM and Fuzzy PI Controller

Tao GONG, Lei QI
Abstract

The longitudinal strip thickness error is an important problem in the hydraulic cold rolling industries, and the random disturbances may increase this error. To decrease this error, we proposed a new ARM9-based gauge control system, which is better than traditional automatic gauge control (AGC) system. This ARM9-based control system was comprised of an ARM9, three sensors, a fuzzy PI controller and other devices. The traditional AGC system was uncertain to deal with this error because the parameters were adjusted by human operators. This new ARM9-based control system had better chip such as ARM9 and used fuzzy controller to transform the uncertain information about this error into some certain data. Moreover, this new ARM9-based control system can be smaller and easier to carry. The experimental results were made with the Matlab tool, and the data show that this new ARM9-based gauge control system performs better than the traditional AGC system and is more robust than the traditional one against the distances.
