    ENG: The object of the study in the work is the temperature regime of melting in a cupola. The existing problem is that due to the aggressive high-temperature environment, continuous measurement of the parameters of the internal environment in the working space of the cupola furnace is too difficult. Even with the implementation of such a possibility, errors of the first and second types may occur. This necessitates indirect control of the temperature regime, which could provide a solution to the identification problem – whether the control system is really operating in normal mode and meets the accuracy requirements, or whether there is a parametric failure along the corresponding control circuit. The existence of the specified problem requires solutions related to the definition of criteria for evaluating the temperature regime, by which it would be possible to verify the reliable functioning of the melting control system. A criterion for evaluating the temperature regime of melting by the viscosity of the slag as a function of its composition is proposed, which allows identifying the temperature regime of melting with an accuracy of 96 %. This result is due to the proposed two-stage procedure, in which the first stage is the construction of mathematical models that describe the influence of the slag composition on the viscosity, and the second is the construction of a criterion based on the density distribution of the discriminant function for both temperature regimes. Using the obtained criterion also makes it possible to determine the areas of chemical compositions, by which the temperature regime can also be identified. The relationships between the variables for the identification procedure are presented in the form of a structural diagram. The proposed solutions will allow determining the quality of the functioning of the temperature control loop in the melting control system based on periodic control. The presented study will be useful for machine-building enterprises that have foundries in their structure, where cast iron is smelted for the manufacture of castings.
