Electrohydraulic Control Unit - 10 Functions

Conditions of operation Conditions of operation Intended use The electrohydraulic control unit has been designed and manufactured exclusively as part of the control system for shields. It is only allowed to be used in connection with an electronic control unit, such as for example a PMC®-R. Use the electrohydraulic control unit only as intended.

Intended uses are: J The electrohydraulic control unit is combined with an electronic

control unit - as for example a single control unit of type PMC®-R. Together they form a control unit designed to operate the functions of a shield support. The two devices are part of an adjacent control system for electrohydraulic shield supports for use in underground mining.

The electrohydraulic control unit is an essential component of this electrohydraulic shield control. Operation of the functions is not allowed to be made direct by pressing the buttons of the electrohydraulic control unit, but via the respective single control unit which must be located in one of the adjacent shields. By means of this control unit the pilot valves of the control block are actuated manually or program-controlled.

J Additionally, there are two exceptional circumstances under Bucyrus DBT Europe GmbH, Lünen 2008

E

which the electroyhdraulic control unit also serves as direct ”control unit”: - emergency operation and - repair operation.

In these cases the individual functions of the shield support are executed direct at the pilot valve of the electrohydraulic control unit. Thus, the functions of the shield can be operated even if the single control unit is locked out or has failed - but only in well-founded exceptions and under strict observance of the special safety regulations of the mine operator for these cases.

Unauthorized use Uses which are not expressly stated as intended are regarded as unauthorized uses and are not permissible.

Unauthorized use: J Use of the electrohydraulic control unit as ”control unit” to ope-

rate the functions of the shield in normal operation.

Actuating the shields exclusively by pushing a button on the pilot valve block is unauthorized use since operation of the shield functions must be performed from an adjacent shield.

By unauthorized uses you endanger yourself and others. You could be severely injured or even killed. Therefore only use the electrohydraulic control unit as intended!

Bucyrus does not accept any liability for the consequences of unauthorized uses.

Storage and transport

Storage

Storage and transport This chapter contains important information on the correct storage and transport of the electrohydraulic control.

Observance of the instructions and tips will increase the service life of the electrohydraulic control. You will also be able to carry out the transport work quicker and more safely.

Careful attention to the points in this chapter will help you to simplify your day-to-day work.

Storage Storage of new equipment corrosion protection

Prior to delivery the hydraulically operated equipment will be tested and operated at the Bucyrus site using the anti corrosive and anti freezing fluid HYDROCOR® CV50*). This fluid remains in the hydraulic system for transport and a following short-time storage period.

HYDROCOR® CV50 is freeze-proof down to - 40 degrees Celsius and protects the metallic materials against corrosion.

It is equipped with a color indicator, which is responsive on the pHvalue of the fluid. The color of the fluid will change from ”red” to ”yellow” in case the pH-value drops. A yellow colored fluid indicates insufficient corrosion protection.

E

Bucyrus DBT Europe GmbH, Lünen 2008

The surfaces of the equipment are provided with a temporary corrosion protection. If stored properly, the equipment parts will be protected for six months referred to the date of delivery.

For further particulars on the properties of HYDROCOR® CV50 please refer to the respective data sheet of the manufacturer. exposure to sunlight

Protect the equipment against direct exposure to sunlight.

Store the electrical equipment, electronic components, spare parts of rubber or plastic - such as seals and hoses - and hydraulic fluids only in closed rooms at temperatures of 15 ºC to 25 ºC.

natural ageing

Even with proper storage, seals and hoses are subject to natural ageing. A storage period of approx. two years is therefore recommended for these parts.

moisture and dirt

Protect all hydraulic elements during storage in a suitable manner against the ingress of dirt and moisture. The connecting surfaces of the hydraulic components must be protected against corrosion and closed with blind plates. Hydraulic plug-type connections and the connectors of the electric cables must be closed with suitable caps or plugs.

short-term storage

During short-term storage (approx. 4 weeks) of equipment outdoors, but at temperatures above freezing, electrical components need not be removed. Such components must, however, be particularly protected against environmental influences, including high temperatures, for example by suitable covers or sheathings for the controls and by additionally covering the equipment.

*) HYDROCOR® CV50 is a trade name of Theunissen, Chemische Fabriken GmbH, Wuppertal / Germany

Doc. no.: 8154 133 000 BA 00

VPVT / 02

3.3

If the equipment is to be stored for more than 6 months, the cavities in the hydraulic components must be completely filled with a preserving fluid such as e.g. HYDROCOR® CV 50. This fluid must have corrosion-protection properties and should be frost-proof within the respective temperature range of the application. All ports must be sealed with durable and suitable plugs.

It is highly recommended not to store the equipment outdoors but in a well ventilated room. If it is not possible to store the complete equipment indoors, remove the hydraulic and electronic components and store them separately.

plastic deformation

During long-term storage, the sealing elements may suffer plastic deformation due to the weight of the components. This may render the seals useless or reduce the life of the seals. Therefore, props and cylinders, for example, should only be stored in an upright position. If this is not possible with the components installed, they have to be dismantled.

random sample inspection

After a storage period of approx. two years, a random sample inspection must be performed to determine whether the measures taken and the method of storage have prevented damage.

On request, the inspection can be carried out by Bucyrus. The cost will be borne by the mine.

HFA fluids

With respect to the storage of HFA fluids or concentrates for the production of HFA fluids in any case the regulations of the manufacturer or supplier of those media have to be observed first. Supplementary information is given in the chapter 6, in the section ”Permissible media”.

Take care to ensure that new supplies are stored separately from existing stock and that removal takes place on the ”first in, first out” principle. Mark the containers accordingly.

Used equipment If there is any need to store hydraulic equipment that has been in use before the items specified above apply analogously, with the exception of the item corrosion protection. corrosion protection

3.4

In case the hydraulic system is to be put out of operation temporarily the complete system has to be flushed thoroughly and filled with a suitable preserving fluid (e.g. HYDROCOR® CV 50). If this is not done, considerable damage to the hydraulic components may be caused within a short time since the properties of the medium used may change very fast and negatively, e.g. due to microbial attack.

Storage

Transport Transport Transport crates Several electrohydraulic controls are packed together in transport crates. They should remain in these crates until they reach their final place of installation in order to protect them from damage.

Ensure that the crates are not damaged during transport. Pay attention in particular that they do not: J fall or J burst open

during transport.

Protect the transport crates from moisture. temperatures below freezing

Before transporting the electrohydraulic control unit at temperatures below freezing, they must be completely emptied and then filled with a suitable preserving fluid (e.g. HYDROCOR® CV 50).

If the electrohydraulic control unit is subjected to temperatures below -20 ºC during transport special measures are required. In this case, please contact the Bucyrus service department prior to the commencement of transport to clarify the requirements.

Installation of the electrohydraulic control unit Installation of the electrohydraulic control unit Removal of the electrohydraulic control unit Before starting the installation or replacement of electrohydraulic controls, you must take safety precautions: safety

. Close off your working area to prevent other persons getting there.

. Arrange for the mining work to be stopped in this area. . Inform your colleagues about the type and duration of the repair work and about your exact location.

. Actuate the support lock-out switch. . Secure the shield to prevent it from lowering under its own weight; e.g. by placing hardwood wedges between the pairs of lemniscatic links or by supporting the canopy otherwise. shut off hydraulic pressure

. Depressurize the hydraulic system of the shield in question.

When everything is OK, you can proceed with the next steps.

. Mark the connecting cables and hydraulic hoses to prevent confusions.

. Pull the connecting cables from the covers of the pilot control valves.

Danger!

Before starting any work on the hydraulic system take care to ensure that the respective section of the system has been completely depressurized. You could be heavily injured or even killed by hydraulic hoses whipping around or by hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure.

Therefore, it is absolutely imperative that you depressurize the hydraulic line before starting to dismantle them.

In case, any of the staples are difficult to remove or cannot be removed at all please be extremely careful. It may indicate that the hydraulic line is still pressurized.

. Loosen all hydraulic connections on the rear of the electrohydraulic control unit and ensure that the connections are not damaged or soiled.

. Secure the electrohydraulic control unit with hoists and transport belts.

Notice!

Do not secure the electrohydraulic control unit with chains or steel ropes in order to avoid any danger of injury.

Operation and function of the pilot valves Operation and function of the pilot valves Control of the shields is particularly dangerous in repair mode, as you then directly control the shield under which you are working. It is therefore extremely important that you know and understand the different functions and sequences of movement of the shield control.

If you are operating the shield in repair control mode, no one else is allowed to remain in the movement area of the shield.

Operation Two push buttons are provided on the cover of each pilot valve. By pressing a button you directly actuate the respective directional valves.

The function is terminated as soon as you release the button.

Danger!

Push buttons that are jammed or fixed could lead to uncontrolled movements of the shield. These may cause severe injuries or even death. Therefore never fix the push buttons.

Electrohydraulic Control Unit - 10 Functions

Filter cartridge Filter cartridge A filter cartridge (item 6, fig. 8) is provided in the manifold section of the electrohydraulic control unit. It protects the valves of the control unit against damage from impurities in the hydraulic medium.

Maintenance intervals Important!

The maintenance intervals recommended are standard values.

Special operating conditions may require different maintenance intervals. It is absolutely necessary that you adapt the maintenance intervals to the individual operating conditions. after one week

The filter cartridge in the manifold section should be checked for soiling one week after start-up of an electrohydraulic control system, at the latest. Replace the filter cartridge, if soiled.

If a large number of electrohydraulic control units have been placed in service on a face at the same time, it is sufficient to examine the filter cartridges randomly. If the inspection reveals that there is a high probability of failures due to soiled filter cartridges all filter cartridges on the face must be replaced.

Bucyrus DBT Europe GmbH, Lünen 2008

E

When extensive work has been performed on the hydraulic system or after start-up of a new face there is an increased risk of dirt having entered the hydraulic system. Depending on the degree of contamination this may lead to the filter cartridges on the whole face being soiled. This, in turn, results in the functions being operated slower or not at all. We therefore recommend that you take the measure described above in order to prevent failures occurring during operation of the shield hydraulics. according to schedule

If problems occur in the preparation of the medium there will be an increased risk of failures due to clogged filters. To maintain the operational reliability of the installation, certain measures may then have to be taken regularly. For example, you should take the precaution to maintain regular random inspections of the filter cartridges of all electrohydraulic control units on the face. It may be necessary to replace the filter cartridges at regular intervals as a precaution.

A filter cartridge is provided in the manifold block of the electrohydraulic control unit to protect the valves in the pilot circuit of the control unit against damage from impurities in the medium. This filter cartridge requires maintenance. Regular replacement, however, is only necessary when the filtration in the face supply unit is insufficient. Therefore, take care to ensure a high level of quality when processing the hydraulic medium.

Permissible media Permissible media Hydraulic fluids Permissible hydraulic fluids Notice!

Use only hydraulic fluids for which a valid certificate issued by Bucyrus has been made available to you. Otherwise, there is the danger of serious damage to the hydraulic equipment and the loss of warranty claims.

For the operation of hydraulic components of Bucyrus generally only such hydraulic fluids are allowed to be used for which a valid certificate in accordance with EWM 8350 or an exemption permit of Bucyrus is available to the respective operator. Bucyrus will not accept any claims under warranty for components which have been or are operated with a different hydraulic fluid.

In addition, national - and sometimes also regional - regulations on health and safety at work and any environmental regulations must be observed for operation.

Bucyrus DBT Europe GmbH, Lünen 2008

E

If a mine only uses individual hydraulic components without applying shield supports or if obtaining a valid certificate would require too much effort, the same hydraulic fluid as is used for the existing shield support shall be allowed to be used for these individual components, subject to approval by Bucyrus. The same applies e.g. to hydraulic chain tensioners, hydraulically tensionable drive units etc.

The respective exemption permit will be issued by Bucyrus upon request.

Suitability test Before the certificate of Bucyrus is issued for a hydraulic fluid the respective fluid has to be subjected to a suitability test. However, this suitability test only refers to the technological properties of the hydraulic fluid and does not allow any conclusions to be drawn with respect to its properties regarding health and safety and environmental protection.

Original samples of the concentrate and the water which will be used later when preparing the hydraulic fluid at the mine are required to perform the suitability test.

The suitability test will be carried out by an independent testing institute authorized by Bucyrus. For the tests, the criteria as specified in EWN 8350 will be applied. The suitability test mainly serves to clarify the properties of the hydraulic fluid with respect to J stability, J sealing materials, J corrosion.

In addition, a chemical ”fingerprint” of the concentrate will be prepared in order to exclude or prove any possible changes in the composition of the concentrate, if required.

If the suitability test shows that the hydraulic fluid meets the requirements, the operator will receive the respective certificate by Bucyrus.

6.9

Permissible media Certificate The customer will be given a certificate attesting the suitability of the hydraulic fluid for the operation of hydraulic systems of Bucyrus for each product tested. The respective certificate shall be valid for a period of one year and, after a simplified test, can be extended for an additional year each. The certificate shall become invalid if one or several of the prerequisites for obtaining the certificate are no longer fulfilled. This is the case, for example, if the quality of the water has changed substantially and/or the composition of the concentrate has been changed, a different concentrate is used or the concentrate and water mixture ratio does not correspond to the data given on the certificate. For further information, please refer to EWN 8350, part 1.

Electrohydraulic Control Unit - 10 Functions

Permissible media Hydraulic fluid maintenance A consistent good quality of the hydraulic fluid is essential for the operational reliability of hydraulic systems. Therefore, maintenance of the hydraulic fluid must not be neglected but should be performed with special care. The most important properties of the hydraulic fluid should ideally be monitored automatically and recorded in order to be able to directly counter any harmful effects. These properties include: temperature, foaming, pH-value, concentrate ratio, and microbial load.

The operator of the equipment has to prepare a hydraulic fluid maintenance concept for any individual application. The maintenance concept should be prepared in close cooperation with the manufacturer of the concentrate and has to be applied consistently.

If it is not possible to monitor the hydraulic fluid continuously the properties listed in the following should be checked at least once every week: J pH-value

– Target value: 7.5 to 9.5 J Concentrate ratio

– Target value: see certificate Bucyrus DBT Europe GmbH, Lünen 2008

E

J Microbial load

– Target value: < 105 Kol/m In addition, the electrical conductivity, foaming and the operating temperature of the hydraulic fluid should be monitored regularly.

The permissible max. temperature of the hydraulic fluid is 55 °C. During normal operation, however, an operating temperature of 45 °C should not be exceeded. A higher operating temperature will reduce the stability of the emulsion and shorten the life of the sealing material.

Quality of the process water The quality of the water used for the preparation of the hydraulic fluid has an enormous influence on the properties of the hydraulic fluid. Accordingly, the requirements for monitoring the water quality are very high.

The following table 2 lists limit values for the essential properties and components of the water.

If the limit values shown are maintained it can be assumed that the water is basically suitable.

If one or several of the limit values mentioned are not met this should be taken into consideration when selecting a concentrate.

Additional water treatment may also be required.

The customer shall in any case, however, provide a sample of the original water to permit performing the tests required for the issue of the certificate.

Changes in the composition of the water will also lead to the loss of the certificate even if they are within the limit values mentioned.
