A method and to a control device 10 for operating an anode furnace including an extraction ramp arranged in a section of a heat-up zone and a burner ramp arranged in a section of a firing zone of the furnace unit, wherein operation of ramps is controlled by means of a control device of the furnace unit, wherein the ramps each have a read unit, wherein the section each have at least one stationary transponder unit, wherein the read units of the ramps communicate with the transponder units of the sections in which the ramps are arranged, wherein the respective transponder units are identified by means of the control device, and wherein a respective position of the ramps is determined by allocating the ramps to the respective transponder units.
A method for automatic operating an anode furnace (10), wherein the anode furnace is formed from a plurality of heating ducts (12) and furnace chambers, wherein the furnace chambers serve for receiving anodes and the heating ducts serve for controlling the temperature of the furnace chambers, wherein the anode furnace comprises at least one furnace unit (11), wherein the furnace unit comprises a heating zone (20), a firing zone (21) and a cooling zone (22), which are in turn formed from at least one section (33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38) comprising furnace chambers, wherein a suction ramp (14) is arranged in a section of the heating zone and a burner ramp (15) of the furnace unit is arranged in a section of the firing zone, wherein ramps are movable and operation of the ramps (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 45) is controlled by means of a control apparatus of the furnace unit characterized in that the ramps include one reading unit (46) each, wherein the sections include at least one stationary transponder unit (43) each, wherein the reading units of the ramps communicate with the transponder units of the sections in which the ramps are arranged, wherein the respective transponder units are identified by means of the control apparatus, and wherein a respective position of the ramps is determined by allocating the ramps to the respective transponder units.
