The paper describes ABB Process Control System for Hot Flat Mills including ABB Drive and Automation Systems, with examples from installations in Rolling Mills.
This manual outlines ABB's integrated drive and control solution for hot flat rolling mills, including the 800xA industrial IT platform, software architecture, and the new DTC (Direct Torque Control) drives. It explains how the system unifies process control, supervision, and production planning while providing a unified information model through AspectObjects.
The document also details the ACS 6000SD drive technology, advanced control functions such as RMD, RFE, LSE, and AIC, and the supporting analysis tools (DDA) that enable optimization, simulation, and faster commissioning of rolling‑mill drive trains.
