The thesis adresses the implementation of a sensor system into an existing steel production line control system. Moreover, it is a control of a water pump functionality and its function of cooling the shear for cutting hot steel with help of measuring pressure, temperature and water flow. Firstly, it shortly describes the sensors and the company overall. The second chapter presents how the project selection between all the potential projects given in the company was done along with the reasons and justifications. The third chapter talks about the problem, which was the reason this project was even made in the first place. It also talks about the affect if cavitation and all the necessary quantities to be measured and monitored. It is followed by a chapter which describes the sensors, actuators and modules used more in detail along with how were they selected. The next chapter talks about the project equipment, both machine as well as software, their planning processes and the time constant of the system. The chapter after that describes the intergration of the system into the existing system and the design of a graphical user interface for the operator room. Finally, the testings are presented along with the testing of frequency converter, his affection and relevance of the potential purchase for the company.
