Abstract
Monitoring device for sliding closures, casting tube changers or the like on a foundry ladle or a similar metallurgical vessel, wherein the device has an electronics system for detecting parameters of the monitored device that are functionally important during casting. In order to ensure trouble-free functioning of the electronics system, the system is housed in a unit fastened to the foundry ladle. The unit has thermal insulation and is provided with an air cooling system which is operated with purified cooling air and can be electrically driven both by an energy source supplied by the waste heat of the foundry ladle and by an external energy source.
