Method for the computer-assisted regulating of a plurality of serially coupled machines, regulating device and machine arrangement
First Claim
1. A method of computer-aided control of a process comprising a plurality of machines coupled to one another in series, comprising the steps of:
- (a) recording one or more machine sensor values;
(b) controlling process stabilization with a machine control matrix selected from a plurality of machine control matrices, wherein the selected matrix controls process stabilization using at least one of the recorded machine sensor values, and wherein each of the plurality of machine control matrices stores one or more nominal control values for the controlled machines;
(c) determining process optimization using a predeterminable criterion and at least one of the recorded machine sensor values;
(d) selecting an optimum machine control matrix from the plurality of machine control matrices on the basis of the process optimization; and
(e) using the selected matrix to control the machines.

Abstract
A method for stabilizing machine processes in which the machines are regulated by a machine regulation matrix selected from a plurality of machine regulation matrixes using a detected machine sensor value, set-point values of the machines being stored in each machine regulation matrix. A process is optimized according to a predefined criterion by also using some of the machine sensor values such that a machine regulation matrix which is optimal according to the process optimization is determined from the plurality of machine regulation matrixes and is subsequently used for regulating the machines.
