Abstract

See full text

A current temperature is ascertained for sections of a strip ahead of a first mill stand. The temperatures of the strip sections are predicted with a prediction horizon corresponding to multiple strip sections, including when each strip section is milled in the first mill stand for which time a nip profile formed by the working rolls is predicted. A control parameter for milling a specific strip section in the first mill stand is ascertained for controlling a control device of the first mill stand. A manipulated variable curve for the control device, influencing the nip profile of a nip formed by working rolls of the first mill stand, is set for the prediction horizon and optimized for the predicted nip profile and a desired profile. The current value of the optimized manipulated variable curve corresponds to the control parameter which is fed to the control device as the manipulated variable.
