Abstract :
Aiming to improve the control system performance, the product quality and productivity for a bloom caster, the modified control system was designed and implemented in an Specialty Steel plant. Programmable logic controller (PLC) based Level I automation control system was developed to control level, frequency, flow rate, speed, pressure, etc. in the continuous casting process. Level II supervisory control system was developed which integrated with Level I system to supply more information for operator. The application results show that the control system works well.
