Selected terms used in ”mining telecommunications”
Journal Title: Mining – Informatics, Automation and Electrical Engineering - Year 2015, Vol 521, Issue 1
Abstract
At the beginning of the paper the author pointed out that in many publications which describe technical solutions applied in telecommunications systems and devices for underground mines there are terms which belong to the realm of a colloquial rather than technical language. It often happens that these terms do not have any technical justification or are even incorrect. In the essential part of the paper the author attempted to define the basic terms, based on long-term experience and observations. The following sample incorrect expressions were referred to: ”telecommunications cable for mining” (teletechniczny kabel górniczy), ”mining telecommunications grids” (sieci teletechniczne kopalniane), or the spelling of cable symbols with small and capital letters. Finally, it was emphasized that telecommunications devices applied in mines are, most often, solutions used in other industries too. Therefore the terms used in mining should be compatible with those that are used in public telecommunications.
