Ladle is an important container parts, plays a vital role to storage and operation of steel smelting. The length of the ladle service life directly affects the efficiency of steel production and the cost of production. The service life of the ladle is mainly affected by thermal mechanical stress of ladle lining, thermal mechanical stress is mainly caused by the severe changes of temperature, in order to fully understand the working state of ladle to ensure the safety of the ladle, the ladle temperature monitoring is particularly important. Ladle design of remote monitoring system uses the structured and modular design thought, on the basis of using the LabVIEW virtual instrument platform; realize the collection of ladle temperature data and remote monitoring. Establish ladle remote client monitoring system by TCP communication protocol, realize the ladle monitoring networked. This system uses the real-time waveform display and friendly human-computer interaction interface, greatly enhanced the real-time and visibility of the ladle remote detection system.
