Development and industrial introduction of systems for monitoring technical state of the rolling mills´ electrical equipment

The paper considers functions of the informational technologies which are implemented in the modern systems for monitoring complex industrial facilities. It substantiates the task to develop systems for monitoring technical state of the electrical equipment of the rolling mill units. The hardware configuration and software of the monitoring system are proven to be determined by technical parameters of the controlled items. Based on the technical data of electrical equipment of the 2,000 mm wide-strip hot-rolling mill at OJSC Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works, the structure and network topology of the system recording data of the main electric drives of the roughing and finishing mill stands have been developed. Network topology of the system and module structure of the software is considered.
