Claim 11:
12. An integrated heated member management system providing integrated management of damage to a heated member by a hot molten material, the integrated heated member management system comprising:
a cable module at least partially inserted into the heated member;
a measurement module disposed outside the heated member and measuring information generated from the cable module;
an integrated management module ascertaining a degree of damage to the heated member by the molten material based on the information measured by the measurement module, displaying a changed condition of the heated member, and generating management information on the heated member; and
a local terminal receiving the management information on the heated member from the integrated management module,
wherein the heated member is a purging plug,
the molten material is a molten metal, and
the measurement module measures change in electrical connection state of the cable module due to the molten metal penetrating the purging plug,
wherein the cable module including multiple cable modules installed in the thickness direction of the purging plug comprises:
a first wire unit having a first wire and a second wire arranged adjacent to one another without being electrically connected to one another; and
a second wire unit having a third wire and a fourth wire arranged adjacent to one another without being electrically connected to one another,

wherein the first wire unit and the second wire units are arranged in a plane perpendicular to the thickness direction of the purging plug, and the second wire unit is disposed at a location separated a predetermined distance from the first wire unit inside the purging plug without being electrically connected to the first wire unit,
wherein the integrated management module is configured to
ascertain a location of damage to the purging plug in the plane perpendicular to the thickness direction of the purging plug based on changes in the electrical connection state of the first wire unit or the second wire unit, which contacts with the molten metal, and
simultaneously ascertain a penetration depth of the molten metal into the purging plug based on an insertion location of the damaged cable module.
