Data screen in FurnStar summarizing various Minstral dataThe Fll icon is the direct link to the generic application that calculates a furnace'scharacteristic curves online as a function ofvoltage, resistance, power and current [3].Given a specific resistance setpoint, the Minstral will control the power input to the furnace toa maximum within the constraints of available voltage and MYA as determined by the physicalcharacteristics ofthe transformers and the current constraint due to the size of the electrodes.Figure 4 below shows the characteristic curves for a typical furnace. This enables the operatorto see at a glance all the electrical limits or constraints to which the Minstral is controlling andoptimizing power input to the furnace.At the operator's disposal is also the Minstral data screen (Figure 3) summarizing the salientelectrical data ofthe furnace.Set-points and other control-related aspects are accessed and depicted by the operating screeniconized and driven by function key F4.
