Key features
The particular challenge in continuous casting lines is mapping measured values from the liquid phase to the length of the strand and ultimately the finished slab.
In case of plants, which produce multiple strands in parallel, you can configure one QDR data store per strand. Each strand or slab finally gets its own product file. Hence, one ibaQDR system can cover multi-strand lines.

Please note that the number of measuring locations per strand is calculated from the total number of licensed measuring locations divided by the number of strands. |

Example:
Example configuration for a continuous casting line with nine segments. The cut signal is created using a virtual signal at the completion of the flame cutting operation.
The tracking signals from the casting sequence show the movement of the flame cutting machine and the cut signal for generating the ibaQDR measurement file.
