Appeal No. 95-2637 Application 08/128,051 generating a moving average of said filtered ratios to provide a current filtered relationship between said calculated discharge temperatures and said measured rolling mill temperatures; comparing said aim rolling mill temperatures with said measured rolling mill temperatures of pieces in the mill to establish error values; statistically filtering said error values to remove extreme values of said error values based upon time in the mill to provide filtered error values; generating a moving average of said filtered error values; determining a short-term bias to said aim discharge temperatures as a function of said filtered error values and said filtered ratios; maintaining a historical table of short-term biases; generating long-term biases specifically related to product types based upon said tables of short-term biases; adjusting said aim discharge temperature by summing said aim discharge temperature given by the mill practice table, said long-term bias and said short-term bias; and controlling conditions in the reheat furnace according to the furnace model and said adjusted aim discharge temperature to drive said calculated discharge temperature to said adjusted aim discharge temperature. 5Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5Last modified: November 3, 2007
