System Description:
The whole system is divided into 4 areas: the Control room, the Process & R&D Room, the Electric Room, and the Field facility. In the
Field facility, the temperature data of the blast furnace is collected through an ADAM-5000/TCP with ADAM-5018 I/O modules. All data
is transferred to a hub, so that everyone around the factory can remotely retrieve data through the Ethernet. In the Control Room, sta
can monitor the data in the same way, and execute necessary actions when accidents occur. In the Process & R&D Room engineers can
continuously develop new systems, and then track the stability of what they are working on. In the Electric room, employees collect and
store all data in the data server.
Conclusion:
Advantech’s ADAM-5000/TCP is a powerful data acquisition and control system. It can remotely acquire data and transfer it back to the
sta . Furthermore, Advantech’s R&D team fully supported the customer by developing a VB.net driver in the ADAM-5000 series, which
satis ed one of the customer’s special requirements. Bene ts from the new system included; cost saving, quality improvement, and
raised productivity. This remote monitoring system also reduces the rate of accidents and extends the life cycle of on-site equipment, by
saving it from exposure to high temperatures and molten steel.

Project Introduction:
The China Steel Corporation wanted to develop a new monitoring system for their blast
furnace. It’s important to monitor the temperatures in a blast furnace because at high
temperatures molten metal can spurt out of the furnace, destroying nearby equipment and
putting employees in great danger. With Advantech’s ADAM-5000/TCP and I/O modules,
operators can remotely monitor the inside temperature of the blast furnace from a protected
environment within the facility.
System Requirements:
One of our customers in the Metal Industry desired to build a remote monitoring system for their blast furnace. The security of blast
furnaces is always an important issue in steel plants, due to extreme instability and danger that high temperatures can cause. Additionally,
the customer wanted to use VB.net to develop system, an Ethernet-based development tool, so that operators can remotely retrieve
recorded data from the internet.
