The ITEMA System is designed to automatically create a
log file of each monitored tapping sequence. This log file is stored on
the systems hard disk and contains the following information.
-
Date and time of tapping
-
Analysis algorithm and set-up values
-
slag alarm settings
-
Tap start time, tap duration and tap ending time
-
Conditions at the start of tapping
-
Slag indications and display summaries for the entire tap
-
Percentage of slag in stream
-
Slag alarm status
-
Stream visibility
-
Selected stored graphic images during each tap
-
As an option, the tilt angle, charge-number, heat-number,
steel grade and tap temperature can also be logged
The off-line analysis of the log files provides a powerful
tool for product quality discussions and for evaluation of furnace operator
performance.
The system can store approximately 12 weeks of continuous
data. It is also possible to direct the data to a LEVEL II computer via a
network connection.
