Hardware-in-the-Loop simulation applied to roadheader cutting head speed control system testing
Journal Title: Mining – Informatics, Automation and Electrical Engineering - Year 2017, Vol 532, Issue 4
Abstract
This paper presents a description of the test stand and results of the Hardware-in-the-Loop simulation for the angular speed control system of roadheader cutting heads. The system has been implemented in the LabView package using National Instruments cRIO and cDAQ devices. The system uses a discrete PI controller implemented with a cRIO FPGA module. Some results of simulation tests undernormal operating conditions and in emergency conditions have been presented.

Analysis of cutting picks trajectory and cutterhead vibrations of roadheader with use of high-speed cameras
In order to identify the behavior of cutting picks during the process of mining with the use of a roadheader’s cutterhead, an optic system has been employed. The main elements of the system were high-speed cameras. In co...
Impact of setting load on bearing capacity of props in a powered support unit
Experience acquired for a number of years proves that the fluidity of production processes in longwalls depends on proper support of the excavation roof. A properly matched power support unit is not enough to guarantee g...
Integrated system for monitoring and analysis of methane hazards in the longwall area
Polish hard coal mines with high methane explosion hazards commonly use systems for automatic monitoring of air parameters. These systems are used by ventilation personnel in preventive actions, simulation tests and desi...
Loads and basic exposures of contact systems of electric switches
Insulation systems and electric contacts of electric power switches are components that are damaged most often. The electric strength to the breakdown of the electric switch contact gap is measured by the electric field...
