PMC-S Control System System Overview

1.2 System Overview 1.2.1 PLC The system core is the Rockwell PLC which oversees basic operation and safety. The PLC communicates exclusively using Ethernet to all peripheral equipment, including sensors, actuators, high level automation, and other On and Off-board systems. The majority of control data is routed internally on the shearer through a network of CIOS assemblies. CIOS comprises of a flexible arrangement of plugable units, allows wiring to sensor and actuator wiring to be routed efficiently in localised groups. The CIOS modules may be used both externally as intrinsically safe (IS) devices, or used within the control compartments in an explosion protected environment (FLP).

Media-ID: EM027742-02-EN / Caterpillar Global Mining Europe GmbH 2018 ©

Scope of Control The PLC is responsible for the monitoring of all machine health and safety transducers. PMC-S monitors numerous intrinsically safe pressure, flow, level, temperature, angle and strain transducers. These sensors are used to monitor properties such as gearbox / reservoir fluid levels, oil temperatures and surface temperatures. The data from these transducers provides warning and protection against abnormal operating conditions hazardous to operators, and the longwall environment.

Actuators are controlled by the PLC logic and depend on exhaustive interlocking requirements of machine functions and sensors. The main areas of interest being Motor start / stop, Hydraulic actuators, Haulage Drive signals, and water circuit controls.

All on-board sensors, actuators, systems and components are monitored exclusively by the PLC application.

All motors are monitored for over temperature timed and instantaneous over current All fluids are monitored for pressure, flow, temperature, or level where necessary All heat sources are monitored for temperature: Motor Windings Motor Bearings Ranging Arm gears / oil Haulage gears / oil Haulage Parking brake Powerpack oil Control and Haulage compartments Abnormal conditions sensed by PMC-S will result in either the display of an ‘Alarm’, or (if necessary) cause electrical power to be removed from the area, otherwise known as a ‘Trip’.

Should the previously mentioned monitoring facility detect any irregularity, the visual display unit will provide an appropriate time stamped message and log that event into its memory as a record. Please refer to the fault manual for more information.

PMC-S Control System System Overview

1.2.2 Automation IPC The IPC is an embedded computer running high level communication and control applications. A summary of the shearer applications is given in the following section.

PMC Network Integration This application is responsible for interfacing the shearer to off-board systems in the Longwall. This includes Caterpillar Roof Supports PMC-R, AFC Drives PMC-D, and 3rd Party Gate End control interfaces.

The PMC-R interface provides the following functions: Shield Anti-collision Shearer position to the shields (for SRB) Auto State integration

Shearer speed limiting The PMC-D interface provides the following functions: Advanced CST load control through Shearer speed limiting Conveyor Run Status Chain Tension Position (extended tail gate stop) The 3rd Party Gate End PLC interface allows the customer to control many machine functions using their own plant, or machine interface. The following functions are available: Gate End Water Pump Control Remote Motor Start Operator on-screen message display AutoState state change Machine Commands (stop all motors, power down etc)

Shearer Navigator The Shearer Steering functions are provided by the “Shearer Navigator” package. This set of functions performs the following functions: Zone Based Automation (Navigator 1) Method Zones Extraction Zones Undercut Zones State Based Automation (Navigator 2) State Machine implementation extending the Navigator 1 automation features with a highly customisable and flexible programming and control interface Enhanced Horizon Control (Navigator 3) Accurate Pan / Floor Profiling Control and monitoring of longwall face advance horizon

System Overview

Target Line correction of floor cut Navigator 3 uses the services of the “longwall Navigator” package, or a CSIRO Landmark compliant system for precision machine position tracking in 3D space.

Longwall Navigator This is the Caterpillar implementation of a fully 3-Dimensional Face profiling package, compliant with the CSIRO Landmark specification. Longwall Navigator is fully self contained on board the shearer, requiring no offboard servers or databases to perform the primary task of face profiling for both floor profile, and also face straightening with roof supports.

Display Module

Media-ID: EM027742-02-EN / Caterpillar Global Mining Europe GmbH 2018 ©

This display is visible through a window on the control box flameproof door, and provides a tethered USB keypad.

This module not only provides information relating to the machine operation, status and commissioning, but only oversees the operation and setup of CIOS and all other Ethernet peripherals. The main functions are given below: Fault and alarm viewing and archiving Shearer parameter management (loading / saving, changing) Unauthorized parameter modification detection Network addressing and configuration (DHCP) Software update management

1.2.3 Keypad The tethered keypad is used by the operator to communicate with the PMC-S system main display. The keypad has 21 keys (capable of 28 functions) laid out in a PC numeric keypad style, except that the row numerical keys are laid out similar to a telephone (123 is at the top). The keypad can be easily removed via an OS4 connector for maintenance and machine cleaning.

It is recommended that the keypad be removed when the machine is being cleaned.

The keys comprise of the following functions: Numeric data entry 0 to 9.

Function Keys (F1, F2, F3) Menu Keys (Home, Tab, Backspace) Page Up, Page down (alternate minus, and decimal point) Navigation mode Key (direction arrows).

Alarm Key (Quick access Faults menu) Return Key (implement commands).

PMC-S Control System System Overview

Radio Keypad Mode An optional means of keypad control is available on the radio handsets. Selected by a special sequence of buttons, this keypad mode can be activated allowing functions similar to the tethered keypad. Therefore the operator can use this radio transmitter without requiring access to the onboard controls. When active the operator cannot carry out the primary functions of those buttons, as such the machine will be placed into a safe state when radio keypad mode is activated. All motors and the haulage are stopped if running.

Shift Function This sequence requires a two button press together HELD ON > 1 Secs Keypad Mode After this procedure then all buttons will simulate the USB keypad

1.2.4 Electrical Systems and Equipment In order to carry out its various functions, PMC-S is connected to a large number of peripheral equipment. Details of this are shown on the Machine Electrical diagrams. The following is a description of equipment that may be connected to PMC-S. PLC & Watchdog Timer Display & USB Keypad IPC Network Switches CIOS Modules Machine Position Encoder(s)

1.2.5 Contactors The contactors start and stop motors and supply power to the haulage AC inverter drives, all are controlled directly from the PLC via CIOS. The contactors are a single 110VAC voltage close and economy type. Auxiliary contacts are monitored on all contactors to detect open / closed status in addition to current monitoring to satisfy requirements that the contactor is operating correctly.

All motors and Haulage system voltages and currents are monitored by PMC-S to provide a comprehensive display and over-current protection facility. On certain Shearer configurations there may also be optional current monitors for the main incoming machine current, the haulage system transformer.

1.2.6 Motors PMC-S monitors a number of intelligent Motor Data Transmitters (MDT) located inside each motor terminal enclosure. Each interface module is wired using a point-to-point serial link to a dedicated CIOS Motor Management Module. Individual motor RTD’s (up to 6 PT100’s) and thermostats (up to 4) can be wired into each MDT Module. The MDT module is intended for single motor cable designs, requiring only three auxiliary cores in the motor cable.

The data gathered from the MDT is used to provide protection to the windings and bearings, and in certain regions ensure critical temperatures are monitored.
