Intelligent, self-adaptive control apparatus for the automated optimization and control of the grinding line of a roller system, and corresponding method

A self-adaptive regulation and control method for a regulation and control device comprising circuitry configured for self-optimized control of a mill installation and a grinding line of a roller system for the mill installation, wherein the grinding line comprises a plurality of processing units, which, based on operational process parameters, are configured to be individually controlled by the regulation and control device and are configured to be individually regulated in their operation, wherein by an operational process recipe a batch control with a defined processing sequence in the processing units is regulated, wherein by the operational process recipe a defined amount of a final product is produced from one or more input materials, and wherein the processing units are controlled based on specific operational batch parameters assigned to the operational process recipe,

• the method comprising:
• detecting, using a pattern recognition module implemented by the circuitry of the regulation and control device, operational process recipes with multi-dimensional batch parameter pattern, wherein an operational process recipe comprises, stored, at least one or more input product parameters and/or final product parameters a defined sequence of a grinding process within the processing units of the grinding line, and operational process parameters assigned to the respective processing units of the grinding line,
• storing, using a storage in the regulation and control device, historical operational process recipes with historical batch process parameters, wherein the historical batch process parameters of a process recipe each define a process-typical, multi-dimensional batch process parameter pattern of an optimized batch process in the standard range,
• triggering and/or selecting, when entering final product parameters and/or input product parameters of a new operational process recipe, closest batch process parameter patterns by pattern recognition of the pattern recognition module of one or more of the stored historical operational process recipes based on the assigned multi-dimensional batch parameter patterns as a new batch parameter pattern,
• generating, using the regulation and control device based on the triggered closest batch process parameter patterns, new operational process parameters for the entered new operational process recipe, wherein the processing units based on the generated operational process recipe with the assigned new operational process parameters are correspondingly controlled and regulated by the regulation and control device, and
• continuously monitoring, during the grinding process of the new operational process recipe, the operational process parameters by the regulation and control device, wherein in the case of detection of an anomaly as a defined deviation of the monitored operational process parameter from the specified operational process parameters of the new operational process recipe, a warning signal is transmitted to an alarm unit.
