The scheme has been developed for obtaining real-time information about arc voltage and state of the technological process. Using the wavelet-analysis the algorithm for digital processing of a signal was developed, using which it is possible to perform its noise suppression and compression. The algorithm for identification of technological events has been developed that allows determining them at early stage of occurrence. Complex of programs has been developed, which makes it possible to record a signal about arc voltage, register events that correspond to certain moments of the signal readout, carry out digital processing (noise suppression and compression) and form image of the technological event. Keywords: arc steel furnace, arc, voltage, signal, wavelet-analysis, image, identification, Control of any technological process is based on primary information that allows controlling this process. Difficulties in obtaining such information consist in absence of reliably operating primary sensors or huge [...]
