In many temperature controls, instead of pure temperature control, real-time data recording is required. The temperature control recorder [split paperless recorder] is used to organically combine the regulating instrument and the recorder to provide the best control and Recording performance solves the problems in practical applications.




The development direction of today's ceramic kilns is from the roller table, automation, coal gasification, light-duty, and large-scale development proposed in the past to green (environmental, energy-saving and intelligent) kilns. The standard of green kiln is low consumption (energy-saving), low pollution (environmental protection), low cost and high efficiency. The direction of efforts to achieve green kilns is to study new automatic control methods and methods, reduce power consumption and noise of kiln fans, research advanced burners, use new refractory materials and coatings, and establish exhaust gas purification research and testing centers. The goal of achieving a green furnace is to further reduce fuel consumption by 10%-20%, increase furnace thermal efficiency by 10%-20%, reduce power consumption by 10%-30%, and reduce noise and smoke to a greater extent. This puts forward higher technical requirements for the original furnace control methods and methods. The current furnace control method has been developed from manual control in the 1990s to intelligent control; from decentralized control to distributed control; the temperature has changed from the previous pure PID adjustment method to the PID plus fuzzy control adjustment method; From conventional control to linear speed control with frequency conversion technology, etc. As the length of the kiln increases (150-250m), the production output increases (6000-1500m2/day), the firing cycle shortens (60-30min) and other factors change. In addition, the kiln control target is a multi-input, multi-input The output, multi-variable, large lag, and non-linear take-off change make our past control methods less and less suitable for the development requirements of the current furnace. With the development of computer technology and electronic technology, computer control technology has gradually replaced traditional control technology.

When the error is large, the fuzzy algorithm is used to adjust to eliminate the PID saturation integral phenomenon. When the error becomes smaller, the improved PID algorithm is used for adjustment. And can automatically learn and memorize part of the characteristics of the controlled object during the adjustment to optimize the effect.
