MINING CONTROL SYSTEMS AND DISTRIBUTED AUTOMATION

Journal Title: Journal of Machine Construction and Maintenance - Year 2018, Vol 110, Issue 3

Abstract

Distributed monitoring, control, and automation systems, often able to adapt and learn, are more widely used in industrial practice. Due to constantly increasing needs of safety and reliability of exploitation the area of smart systems applications in the Polish hard coal mining sector is also growing. At the KOMAG Institute of Mining Technology, the development and implementation of distributed control and automation systems in mining machines are carried out. To successfully develop these systems, the CAN communication bus, made as an intrinsically safe circuit, is used. The implementation of a distributed structure and an intrinsically safe CAN bus has a number of advantages, such as flexibility and the possibility of expansion (open systems). The publication presents selected problems related to the projects carried out by the KOMAG Institute of Mining Technology in cooperation with KOPEX MACHINERY S.A., JSW S.A. and Gabrypol Sp. J.
