This paper will review the successful master controller revamp of Sappi Fine Paper North America's #3 Paper Machine at its Skowhegan, Maine mill. The rebuild project included upgrading the press section and increasing the speed of the paper machine by 500 FPM (150 MPM). The existing original drive system had been installed with sectional AC drives. The original drive system was becoming more difficult to maintain due to unavailability of parts and the out-of-date diagnostic system. The revamp involved the re-use of 76 existing drives and the installation of 8 new AC sectional drives. A new master controller was added with an enhanced diagnostic HMI. The new master controller architecture communicated with, controlled and diagnosed the old drives as well as the new drives. The unique combination of existing drives and new drives formed a cohesive system with all of the advantages of a new drive system. A staged installation was performed to reduce the outage time impact. The paper machine rebuild project was completed in March 2003 and has met the expectations of a successful revamp.

According to the multi-model approach a nonlinear dynamical process is approximated in different working points by local valid linear models. The global valid model output is calculated as the weighted sum of the sub-model outputs. The parameters of the Gaussian weighting function can be chosen by optimization. The computation time can be reduced if instead of the model outputs the parameters (for example static gain and time constant) of the local valid models are merged. The global valid nonlinear model can be used e.g., for model based predictive control. The new, multi-parameter method is illustrated by a heat exchanger example.

In the process industry, engineering functions for the administration and optimization of devices are gaining importance in comparison with processcontrol functions. Thus, the term 'asset optimization' is often used to describe techniques that exploit the full potential of plant assets. This applies in particular to field devices used in production processes. This paper presents the asset management box (AMBOX) which is an open, configuration-free and manufacturer-independent access to field device functionality for the Profibus-PA Fieldbus, creating an additional information channel between field and plant control level.

process engineers and processcontrol engineers need to discuss the functionality of a plant in an early phase of a project. A "language" to communicate between these different skilled engineers is necessary, which is based on the requirements of the process itself. The quality of the notion is strongly depending on an appropriate modeling concept for the process characteristics. The use of ICL (idiomatic control language) and UML (unified modeling language) will be compared and evaluated for modeling in basic engineering. It addresses to process engineers, processcontrol engineers and technicians. The model should be used for code generation for PLC or DCS systems.
We introduce a new, simple and efficient evolutionary algorithm to multiobjective optimization problem, which based on neighborhood and archived operation (NAGA). The innovations contain two main parts: neighborhood i...
