4.4.1 Feed pressure settings

Base feed pressure request and feed deviation (automatic mode)


The feed pressure potentiometer allows the user to adjust feed pressure
during drilling according to the drilling conditions.
The base feed pressure setting, feed deviation setting, and potentiometer
position are the starting point for calculation of the base system feed
pressure request ( feed request before feed compensation calculation ).
Pos. 5

Negative Positive
feed deviation feed deviation

Pos. 1 Pos. 10

Base feed is the pressure request value at position 5 before other factors
such as drilling angle drifter mass, and tube mass are taken into account.
Between positions 5 and 1 the feed request is reduced by up to the feed
deviation amount.
Between positions 5 and 10 the feed request is increased by up to the
feed deviation amount.
The feed pressure at position 1 is limited to the minimum allowed system
feed pressure. Between positions 5 and 1 if base feed minus feed
deviation is less than the minimum feed pressure then pressure request
is adjusted from base feed to minimum feed.
For example:
Base feed pressure = 35
Feed deviation = 25 bar
Minimum feed pressure = 12 bar
Base feed - Feed deviation = 35 - 25 = 10 bar
10 bar is lower that minimum allowed feed pressure 12 bar, so for
position 5 to 1 adjust from 35 bar to 12 bar.
Between positions 5 and 10 feed pressure is calculated as normally.
The operator can modify the base feed value and the feed deviation as
follows:

Copyright Sandvik 27
ID: BG00221156 B.001.1 2014-02-24
GUI-1 Control panel

1. Select SET to access the SETTINGS menu.


2. Select DRILL PRESS. > FEED PRESS.
3. To modify base feed value select BASE FEED. and turn the adjusting
knob. Press OK to accept the changes or ESC to return without making
changes.
4. To modify feed deviation value select FEED DEV. and turn the adjusting
knob. Press OK to accept the changes or ESC to return without making
changes.

Feed pressure compensation calculation


Other factors which affect the feed pressure request are as follows:
Feed pressure potentiometer position
Drilling rotation angle
Rock drill weight compensation
Tube weight compensation
Tube count
The effect of these compensations is to increase feed pressure for up
holes, and to reduce feed pressure for down holes. The amount of
compensation (increase or reduction) is greatest when drilling vertically
upwards (maximum increase) or vertically downwards (maximum
reduction).
After the initial compensation then the compensation is increased or
decreased after addition of each subsequent tube or rod.
Rock drill weight compensation is an internal system value and is set during
factory calibration. Tube weight compensation can be adjusted by the
operator.
A more detailed explanation of tube weight compensation is give in section
4.4.10. Tube or rod weight compensation (automatic drilling).

Potentiometer maximum value


This setting is used to adjust the maximum feed pressure value when
drilling manually.
To check or change the current setting:
1. Select the submenu DRILL PRESS., FEED POT. MAX (manual option),
or DRILL PRESS, FEED PRESS., POT. MAX (automatic drilling option).
2. Change value with adjusting knob and save by pressing OK key.

GUI-1 Control panel

Tube or rod weight compensation (automatic drilling)


Tube/rod weight compensation is used to compensate the effect of tube
weight on feed pressure ( see also section 4.4.9 ). Three values are used to
define tube weight compensation:
Tube weight 1
Tube weight 2 (only relevant for down holes)
Feed pressure request point used to select if tube weight 1 or tube
weight 2 should be used.

Tube weight compensation, drilling up holes


For up-holes the feed pressure request will be increased by amount of the
tube weight 1 setting, adjusted for drilling angle, for each tube added.
For example if base feed is 90 bar, potentiometer in position 5 , rock drill
weight internal system setting is 10 bar, and tube weight 1 setting is 100
( unit of 0.01 bar ), and 15 tubes have been added, and drilling direction
vertically up, then the feed pressure is calculated as follows,
Feed pressure request = 90 bar + 10 bar + ( 15 tubes * 1 bar ) = 115 bar.

Tube weight compensation, drilling horizontal holes


For a horizontal hole, potentiometer in position 5, the tube weight mass and
rock drill mass have no effect, and a small fixed side hole compensation is
used
Feed pressure request = 90 bar + ( 15 tubes * 0.2 bar per tube ) = 93 bar.

Copyright Sandvik 29
ID: BG00221156 B.001.1 2014-02-24
GUI-1 Control panel

Tube weight compensation, drilling down holes


For down holes after adding a tube the feed pressure request is reduced
initially by tube weight 1 setting ( adjusted for drilling angle ), and then after
the pressure request reaches the lower feed compensation point, by the
tube weight 2 setting ( adjusted for drilling angle ). In this way some
sensitivity of control over feed pressure is possible even for long down
holes, where the compensated feed pressure request can become small.

Number of tubes in hole

For example for a hole drilled vertically downwards, potentiometer in


position 5, and the following settings,
Base feed = 40 bar
Rock drill weight compensation = 10 bar ( internal system setting )
Tube weight 1 setting = 1 bar
Tube weight 2 setting = 0.1 bar
Feed prs. pt = 20 bar
Tube count = 15
Feed prs. request = 40 bar - 10 bar - ( 10 tubes * 1 bar ) - ( 5 tubes * 0.1
bar) = 19.5 bar.
(In this example the feed pressure point of 20 bars is reached after adding
10 tubes, so all following tubes are compensated with the lower
compensation value.)
Tube weight settings and the selection feed pressure point can be changed
as follows:
1. Select the submenu REGULATOR as instructed in the chapter "Using
the submenus".
2. Select TUBE WEIGHT. Select the value to be changed using the menu
keys (TUBE WEIGHT 1, TUBE WEIGHT 2, FEED PRS. PT.). The value
to be changed will be highlighted. Change the value (note units!) and
press OK to save or ESC to leave without changes.

4.4.2 Maximum feed pressure setting (manual drilling)


This setting defines the manual mode drilling feed pressure level (bar)
when the feed pressure potentiometer is turned to its maximum value (10).
The larger the value the lower the control resolution will be.
Note! When drilling manually, there is no compensation to take into
account drilling angles or rock drill and tube weight

The operator can modify the maximum feed pressure for manual drilling
and the feed deviation as follows:
1. Select SET to access the SETTINGS menu.
2. Select DRILL PRESS.
3. Select FEED POT. MAX. Modify maximum feed value and press OK to
save. Press ESC to leave without changes.

Halting rock drill movement in manual drilling mode


If the pressure request goes below the minimum allowed system feed
pressure value, the feed pressure will be limited to the this feed pressure
value and the rock drill will be halted.

4.4.3 Rotation pressure settings

Basic rotation pressure level and rotation deviation when drilling in automatic
mode with torque control
When torque control is selected the automatic drilling control system
maintains rotation pressure at the pressure request value set by the

Base rotation pressure is the pressure request value at position 5.


Between positions 5 and 1 the pressure request is reduced by up to the
rotation deviation amount.
Between positions 5 and 10 the pressure request is increased by up to
the rotation deviation amount.
The pressure request at position 1 is limited to the minimum allowed
rotation pressure. If the base rotation pressure minus rotation deviation is
less than the minimum allowed rotation pressure then pressure request is
adjusted between base value and minimum value.
The operator can modify the base rotation value and the deviation as

4.4.6 Stabilizer pressure control and deviation setting


This setting is available if the machine is delivered with the proportionally
controlled stabilizer pressure option.

Stabilizer pressure when rotation angle sensor installed (TMS D, DD,


DDS options)
Stabilizer pressure depends on the following values
Feed pressure
Hole rotation angle
Maximum stabilizer pressure is limited to 110 bar and minimum pressure to
50 bar.
Within the limit values as feed pressure increases, then stabilizer pressure
increases.
As hole rotation angle changes from vertical down to vertical up, then within
limit values the stabilizer pressure decreases.
Default stabilizer pressure control (deviation is 0%) is shown in the diagram
below.

For example when deviation is 0% and feed pressure is 65 or 80 bar,


stabilizer pressure is as follows:

Copyright Sandvik 35
ID: BG00221156 B.001.1 2014-02-24
GUI-1 Control panel

Hole direction Feed 65 bar Feed 80 bar


Vertical down 96 bar 110 bar (max)
Horizontal 58 bar 81 bar
Vertical up 50 bar 60 bar

Increasing the stabilizer deviation % moves the diagram to the right as


shown below. The deviation in units of pressure (bar) is calculated from the
maximum feed pressure for vertical up holes.
Deviation 10% = 130 bar * 10% = 13 bar.
The control diagram is shifted by 13 bar to right. In general increasing
deviation will decrease stabilizer pressure for the same feed pressure and
hole angle.

For deviation of 10% and feed pressure is 65 or 80 bar, stabilizer pressure


is as follows:

Hole direction Feed 65 bar Feed 80 bar


Vertical down 64 bar 102 bar
Horizontal 50 bar (min) 63 bar
Vertical up 50 bar (min) 50 bar (min)

36 Copyright Sandvik
ID: BG00221156 B.001.1 2014-02-24
GUI-1 Control panel

Decreasing the stabilizer deviation % moves the diagram to the left as


shown in the diagram below.
Deviation -10% = 130 bar * -10% = -13 bar.
The control diagram is shifted by 13 bar to the left as shown below. In
general decreasing deviation will increase stabilizer pressure for the same
feed pressure and hole angle.

For deviation of -10% and feed pressure is 65 or 80 bar, stabilizer pressure


is as follows:

Hole direction Feed 65 bar Feed 80 bar


Vertical down 110 bar (max) 110 bar (max)
Horizontal 79 bar 102 bar
Vertical up 58 bar 73 bar

Stabilizer pressure when no rotation angle sensor is installed (TMS


None)
If rotation angle sensor is not installed then stabilizer pressure depends
only on the feed pressure value.
The stabilizer pressure control curve is the same as for a horizontal hole
when a rotation sensor is installed.

Copyright Sandvik 37
ID: BG00221156 B.001.1 2014-02-24
GUI-1 Control panel

Maximum stabilizer pressure is limited to 110 bar and minimum pressure to


50 bar.
Within the limit values, as feed pressure increases then stabilizer pressure
increases.
Default stabilizer pressure control (deviation is 0%) is shown in the diagram
below.

Increasing deviation % will have the effect of decreasing stabilizer pressure


for the same feed pressure.
Decreasing deviation % will have the effect of increasing stabilizer pressure
for the same feed pressure.
The operator can modify this value as follows:
1. Select the submenu SETTINGS.
2. Select first DRILL PRESS submenu, then the STAB. PRESS. option.
3. Modify the value with the adjustment knob and press OK to save. ESC to
leave without changes.

1 Positive tolerance value range


2 Negative tolerance value range
3 Planned hole depth

The break-through settings have separate tolerances for the positive (+)
direction (over-drilling) and negative (-) direction (under-drilling). These
settings affect all holes in automatic drilling which have break-through
checking set to ON. The maximum tolerances are 20 meters in the positive
direction and 5 meters in the negative direction.

Example: Hole depth is 15.0 m, the positive break-through tolerance is 5.0


m and the negative tolerance is 3.0 m. If the drill exceeds the
predetermined break-through speed when drilling depth is between 12.0
and 20.0 m, the system interprets this as a break-through. If DRILL/UNCPL
has been selected, the system starts uncoupling automatically.
1. Press the SET key in the SANDVIK display to open the SETTINGS
display.
2. Select DRILL SET > BREAKTHROUGH.
3. The B.T. CONT. option allows you to specify how the system should
behave if breakthrough is not detected in the tolerance region. If B.T.
CONT. is set on, and DRILL/UNCPL is selected then the system will
continue with uncoupling. If B.T. CONT. is off then the system halts and
displays an error message. See chapter "Continuing drilling if no break-
through takes place".

Minimum water and air pressures


These settings are used for defining the minimum water and air pressures
(bar) in the system. If water or air pressure drops below the set value
during drilling, corrective functions are activated. The rock drill will move
backwards to the rear stop until the pressure level is back to normal. At the
same time, the GUI-1 panel displays the flushing error message. When
drilling with water flushing, the water pressure is monitored; when drilling
with water-mist flushing / air flushing, only the air pressure is monitored.
Normally, suitable values are 2...8 bar.
Checking or changing the current setting:
1. Select SET to access the SETTINGS menu.
2. Select DRILL SET > FLUSH
3. Select AIR CNTRL or WATER CNTRL.
The current minimum pressure setting for flushing is displayed and can be
changed with the adjusting knob.

Extra flushing (automatic drilling)


Extra flushing is a feature which can be used during automatic drilling to
clean out the hole, for example when rock conditions are difficult.
In extra flushing, the rock drill is first run to the rear position and then back
to the front position (mid tube, or before tube change). When the rock drill is
pulled back, either air or water flushing can be used. Percussion will be set
on if the rotation pressure rises above the set limit.
If extra flushing is enabled then the following settings are available
FLUSHING INTERVAL this is the interval before the next extra flushing
sequence. The minimum interval is 1/3 tube, which means that extra
flushing will be carried out for each 1/3 tube length drilled.
FROM END This number specifies the number of tubes from the end of
the hole that will all be flushed. This number is relevant only if
FLUSHING INTERVAL value is greater than 1.
PULL COUNT Specifies the number of flushing cycles to be carried
out. Pull count is only used when the complete tube is drilled. For extra
flushings midtube only one extra flushing cycle is carried out.
1. Select the submenu SETTINGS as instructed in the chapter Using the
submenus.
2. Select DRILL SET submenu, then the SET FLUSHING > EXTRA
FLUSH.
3. Select ENABLE to enable (ON) / disable (OFF) extra flushing. Select the

Example:
The drill rig control system is using the factory settings (0.5 m, 3.0 s and 2.0
m/min) for rushing. The drill bit then breaks into a cavity, causing the
following to occur:
1. The penetration rate starts to rise.
2. When the penetration rate rises above 2.0 m/min, the time counter starts
counting. If the penetration rate drops below 2.0 m/min, the time counter
resets to zero.
3. When the penetration rate exceeds 2.0 m/min non-stop for longer than
3.0 seconds, the rushing state is considered to have begun.
4. Drilling is stopped.
5. The rock drill is drawn backwards 10 cm or to the back end stop.
After this the behavior of the system depends on the rushing continuation
setting (RUSH CONT., see also following section).
a) If rushing continuation is set ON then the drilling system restarts
drilling at half power. After the rock drill has moved forwards 50 cm,
the system switches up to full power again. If the front end stop is
reached before 50 cm, the next tube is started as normal at full
power. If no rock contact is made during the 50 cm movement, the
system jumps back to step 1.
b) If rushing continuation is set OFF then the rock drill moves to the
back end stop, halts and an alarm message is displayed to the
operator.

4.4.11 Rushing control (automatic drilling)


Rushing control is a feature for reducing rushing, by gradually reducing
percussion pressure if the penetration rate goes over a set level. Drilling
power is reduced when drilling in soft rock conditions (penetration rate
rises) and increased to normal power in harder rock conditions. The effect
is to avoid unnecessary rushing error conditions.
Rushing control is configured with the following values:
SPEED LO LIMIT Penetration rate at which rushing control becomes
active and reduction of percussion pressure begins.
SPEED HI LIMIT Penetration rate at which percussion pressure is at
minimum value. Normally this will be the same or close to the rushing
error speed.
PERC. LIMIT The minimum percussion pressure value when
penetration is at the speed hi limit value.

Starter tube multi-flush


This is a feature that can used if extra flushing is needed with the starter
tube/rob. It is included only in fan option. This feature implements a new fan
phase COLLAR AND FLUSH which takes place between FIND ROCK
and COLLAR. In COLLAR AND FLUSH phase hole is drilled to a certain
depth. Then drilling is halted and feed is set to backwards. With flushing
and rotation on the drill bit is drawn out of the hole. When the bit is out, feed
is set to forwards and with flushing and rotation on the drill bit is driven
again to the hole. This flushing sequence is done as many times as
specified. This feature is valid only in fan drilling.
Multi flush consists of three parameters: flush depth, flush count and extra
pull.
Flush depth defines the drilling depth after which drilling is halted and
flushing sequence starts.
Flush count defines how many times the flushing cycle is executed.
During flushing cycle only feed rotation and flushing is used. Percussion
is again set on a couple centimeters before the hole bottom is reached at
the end of the last flushing cycle.
Extra pull defines the distance how much the drill bit is drawn out of the
hole during every flushing cycle.

In the vertical mode, the rotation angle values are given as a projection in
the vertical plane.
When the rotation angle display is in vertical plane mode, the display shows
letter V above the rotation angle title ROT (V = Vertical).

Figure: The hole (darkened line) in the fan plane is tilted to angle (a). The hole rotation angle on
the fan plane is (b). When the hole is projected onto a vertical plane (dashed line), the rotation

Showing the hole rotation angles on the display in vertical mode improves
drilling accuracy in mines where the drilling plan rotation angles are given
on a vertical plane and the tilt angle is given separately. When the rotation

4.6.4 Operating principle of the TMS for DL43x


TMS for DL43x angle measuring system can be operated in two separate
modes: boom mode and carrier mode. Boom mode is the mode in which
the reference plane is set during navigation (see Setting and clearing the
angle reference plane). In boom mode, the rotation angle can be shown in
the tilted fan plane (F) or as a projection in the vertical plane (V).
Carrier mode is the mode in which the tilt angle reference plane is cleared
(see Setting and clearing the angle reference plane). In carrier mode, the
rotation angle value shown on the display is identical both in the vertical (V)
and fan mode (F). The reference plane is identical in both modes (V, F).
To switch to boom mode, set the tilt angle reference plane as explained in
the chapter Setting and clearing the angle reference plane.
To switch to carrier mode, clear the tilt angle reference plane as explained
in the chapter Setting and clearing the angle reference plane.
Note! When the tilt angle reference plane is cleared, the drilling angle
display shows REFTILT value 0.0. To be absolutely sure that system
is in carrier mode, clear the tilt angle reference plane: if the fan
was/is drilled in the boom mode using tilt angle reference 0.0
(vertical fan), the drilling angle display also shows REFTILT value
0.0.

In addition to the drilling angle display shown in the Drilling angles

Viewed from the operators seat of a DL43x machine, the boom's drilling
module rotation joint comes before the drilling module tilt joint in the joint
order of the boom. This causes both the tilt angle and rotation angle values
to change when either the tilt or rotation movement is used.
Note! If the boom swing movement is used after navigation, the pivot point
distance from the original navigation plane is changed. To
compensate this, the operator has to use the boom zoom movement
in order to bring the new pivot point back to the original reference
plane (= navigation plane), as illustrated in the figure below.

4.6.6 Setting and clearing the angle reference plane (DL43x)


In this context, setting the angle reference plane means that the rig is
navigated to a planned position in the tunnel with the help of lasers
mounted on the front of the boom. During navigation, the operator sets the
angle reference plane.

2. PI control Fast controller that maintains feed pressure at request level
set by user.
3. Integral control Slow feed pressure controller that maintains feed
pressure at request level set by user. This is the control method used in
older versions of the control system ( up to v03.400.169 ).

Torque control
Torque control means that the controller keeps the rotation pressure at the
request level set by the user, by continually adjusting feed pressure. If
rotation pressure rises over the request level then feed pressure is
reduced, if it falls below the request level then feed pressure is increased.
Rotation pressure request is set with the drilling control potentiometer. The
pressure request value is displayed on the main drilling display to the right
of the current rotation pressure value.
The main advantage of using torque control is that the feed pressure will
adapt to changing rock conditions. When rotation pressure rises due to
difficult rock conditions then the feed pressure will be reduced and
unnecessary jamming errors are avoided.
A second advantage is that the effect of factors such as increasing drill
string mass when tubes are added, and drilling direction are automatically
corrected for.

Torque control stages are


1. At start of drilling feed pressure is ramped up until rotation pressure is
within the window for torque control.
The ramp phase is used in the following situations:
a) Start drilling of new tube/rod
b) Restart drilling after being stopped by user or due to an error
c) After antijamming error
d) After rushing error
e) After flushing error
f) After extra flushing midtube
2. Within the window the torque controller takes over and maintains rotation
pressure at the user request level.
3. If rotation pressure moves out of the control window then the ramp mode
is reentered (ramp up or ramp down).

Tuning of torque control


The starting feed pressure level for the ramp is calculated from base feed
pressure, rock drill mass compensation, tube mass compensation
multiplied by tube count and minimum feed pressure value. It is important
that these value are correctly set. Too low compensation values or base
feed will result in longer ramping times than necessary.
In addition the feed pressure valve must be correctly calibrated.

Example of torque control


In the following example,
Rock drill mass compensation = 16 bar

Tube mass compensation = 1.2 bar

Time ( seconds )

1. Feed press at ramp start = 16 + (5*1.2) + 12 + 36 = 70 bar


2. After 5 seconds rotation pressure is within torque control window and
torque controller takes over.
3. At 9 seconds rotation pressure increases over rotation pressure request.
Feed pressure is reduced to bring rotation pressure back to request level.
4. At 12 seconds rotation pressure goes below rotation pressure request.
Feed pressure is increased to bring rotation pressure back to request
level.
At the end of the tube/hole, the rotation pressure request is automatically
reduced for reduced power drilling, similar to the other control methods.

PI Control
With PI control the controller keeps the feed pressure at the request level
set by the user, by monitoring the difference between actual and requested
feed pressure and adjusting for any differences. If feed pressure rises over
the request level then control signal to valve is reduced, if it falls below the
request level then control signal to valve is increased.
Feed pressure request is set with the drilling control potentiometer. The
pressure request value is displayed on the main drilling display to the right
of the current feed pressure value.
PI control might offer shorter drilling times compared with torque control
especially for up holes in relatively homogenous rock conditions.

Mass compensation
The feed pressure request is calculated from the base feed and feed
deviation values compensated for the following factors (see also 4.4.1 Feed
pressure settings (27)).
Rock drill mass compensation
Tube string mass compensation
Feed rail rotation angle
For good results especially for long holes It is important that these value
are correctly set. Incorrect settings will result in feed pressure request
which is incorrect for the drilling situation.

Integral control
Integral control is the method that was used in the older control system
versions. Normally this method will not offer advantages over torque or PI
control and its use is not recommended.
Integral control is similar to PI control as the controller keeps the feed
pressure at the request level set by the user, adjusting for any differences
between the feed pressure request and actual pressure. The main
difference compared to PI control is that this method takes significantly
longer to reach the request pressure.

5 AUTOMATIC DRILLING AND UNCOUPLING


5.1 Starting automatic drilling and uncoupling
Three main automatic operating modes exist:
DRILL UNCPL = Drilling and uncoupling of one hole
DRILL = Drilling only of one hole
UNCPL = Uncoupling only of tubes/rods in the hole

If the DRILL UNCPL or DRILL option is selected, you will first be prompted
to enter the depth of the hole and set the breakthrough status (TOGGLE
BT). Resolution of depth input can be selected to 10, 1, or 0.1 meters.

Note! If the breakthrough setting is changed to ON it will remain set for all
following holes until set OFF again.

After accepting the depth with the OK key the system will carry out startup
checks and begin automatic drilling of the hole. Start of drilling can be
cancelled by pressing the ESC key. If the depth is not accepted within the
delay period the system will return to the SANDVIK display.
Note! If you start drilling from the remote control panel, the display will
show a text saying WAIT and the rig's horn will sound for 15
seconds. You can start the power pack when the text on the display
changes to START.

Note! When automatic drilling or uncoupling is in use, the rigs red warning
light will warn those approaching the rig that automatic functions are
in use.

If DRILL is selected then the system will halt after the required depth is
drilled.
If DRILL UNCPL is selected then after the required depth is reached, and
depending on system settings, breakthrough status and hole angle the
system will first clean the hole and carry out final percussion to loosen
tube/rod threads. After this the tubes/rods will be automatically uncoupled
and placed back in the magazine. Automation will be halted when
uncoupling is completed.
A detailed description of automatic drilling is given in section 5.1.1.

5.1.1 Automatic drilling


Automatic drilling of a hole using drill and uncouple, drill, or fan automation
involves the following main steps:
1. Collaring
Automatic drilling starts with a short collaring stage using half power
settings. In drill and uncouple, and drill modes, the default collaring depth
is 10 cm (normally the operator will have already have collared the hole
manually). In fan mode the default collaring depth is 40 cm.
2. Half feed
If automatic drilling has been halted by the operator, or due to an error
during the drill, approach, or half feed states, then after restart, the
system initial state is the half feed state. In this state the system drills at
half feed settings for 5 seconds.
3. Drilling
Drilling with normal drilling settings (see also section 4.4 Settings menu
options (26)).
4. Approach
Approaching the end of the current tube or hole. Half feed settings are
used.
5. Clean up/down
After drilling a tube, and if extra flushing is set on (see section Extra
flushing (automatic drilling) (45)) then the hole is flushed out.
6. Open shank thread and fast feed backward
After drilling a tube length the shank thread is opened, the rock drill is
moved to the back position and the next tube is brought into the drilling
center.
7. Threading (add next tube)
After bringing the rock drill back, the threading sequence is executed to
add the next tube to the drill string.
8. Start new tube
After adding a tube, the next tube is then rotated into the gripper jaws,
and if necessary the drill string is filled with water (up holes) before
starting drilling again.
9. Tolerance
If the hole is a break-through hole, then the tolerance state is entered
after drill depth exceeds the value (planned depth - positive breakthrough
tolerance ). See section 4.4.7 Breakthrough settings (automatic
drilling) (39).
10. Final percussion
After completing the hole then the drill string is hammered (feed and
percussion without rotation) to loosen the threads before uncoupling.

3. CONTROL SYSTEM STRUCTURE

The electro-hydraulic control system is based on the modular TAS system.


This system includes the following components:
1. PC i.e., mobile computer (A904)
2. Serial traffic server (A909)
3. 5Eight modules (located around the rig, close to the actuators)

PC (A904)

Mobile computer responsible for the rigs control functions.

GUI-1

The GUI1 panel is an intelligent unit that reads the user keystrokes and the status of the switches,
joysticks, and the potentiometer of the active control panel (Note: Only one control panel can be active
at a time) and sends that information to the PC via the serial traffic line mentioned above. In addition,
the PC receives serial data from the CAN-RD card to control the GUI display and control unit indicator
lights via the same bus.

Serial traffic server

A signal converter (RS-232/422/485) to create serial traffic between the PC and the control system
interface (optional: multiple interfaces), as well as the data collection system (optional).

reads the digital inputs i.e., the ON/OFF data (proximity switches, pressure switches, flow
switches, etc.)
switches the digital outputs (valves, relays, etc.) on and off
controls the proportional valves
reads main electrical system alarms (oil level low, power pack running, compressor overloaded,
etc.) from the QN indicator panel via serial bus (RS422)

The FPVC module can be used in systems where there are flow control proportional valves for
controlling rock drill feed and rotation.
The FPVC module is described in more detail in the section "Fast Proportional Valve Controller

3.4.1. General features of CAN bus

Open topology

New modules can be easily added and old ones removed from the bus. Modules (stations) have no
actual addresses but one or more pieces of data that another station connected to the bus can use
by referring to them with the data number, without any information as to which of the stations has the
data. Messages are sent into the bus for public reception. Each message has its identifying number,
e.g. rotation pressure data could have the number 3. The station that measures rotation pressure
sends the number 3 into the bus and after it the rotation pressure data. Other stations receive the
data without information on where it originates. The sending station is not concerned which station(s)
receive the data. If a new station is connected to the bus, and it requires rotation pressure data, the
sending station need not be programmed to be aware of this new station and its need of rotation
pressure data, and the new station need not have the information on which station sends the rotation
pressure data. This manner of organization makes the control system flexible and modular.

Broadcast transmission

Messages are transmitted into the bus for public reception, whereby each station that needs the
message is able to receive it. Thus, the information each recipient station receives was concurrently
measured and they receive it simultaneously.

Architecture with several masters and priorised transmission of messages.

Any station can, at will, act as a sending station at the desired moment. If two stations send a message
simultaneously, the message with a lower priority will be destroyed, but the higher priority message
will be transmitted intact. After this, the lower priority message will be retransmitted.

Resistance to interference

The control system must be resistant to electromagnetic interference caused by humidity, motors,
solenoids, and relays. This is realized by detecting the errors caused by interference and correcting
it by retransmitting. A station with constant errors in transmission or reception is labelled faulty and
disconnected from the bus. The faulty station is able to do this itself.

3.4.2. Control system CAN cables

The CAN bus is divided into two branches. One branch covers the modules of the boom and drilling
unit. The other branch covers the modules of the carrier. These two branches are connected to each
other by CAN card connector X903. In both branches, only one cable runs between the modules for
data transfer as well as provision of supply voltage for the modules. Data transmission is via the CAN
wires in the middle of the cable. The cable wires are paired, and all wires are surrounded by a common
screen. At the ends of the CAN bus, the wires are equipped with 180 ohm terminal resistors to match
the bus impedance.

3.6. Other components

3.6.1. Graphical user interface (GUI-1)

The user interface has a graphical display for showing drilling data, settings, alarms, and other
important messages to the operator. The operator can use the keys and adjustment knob of the GUI-1
for making the drilling settings and adjustments. In addition, the GUI-1 reads the signals from the
panel switches and joystick, and it controls the indicator lights in the panel. All of these signals are
connected through screw terminals. All control signals between the control panel and the rig use the
serial bus (RS422), except the emergency stop, fire extinguishing system (ANSUL), and signal horn,
which are hard-wired.
All control panels to which the GUI-1 is connected are identical and interchangeable. Selection
between the local and remote panels is carried out with a two-position switch in the NN control box
of the rig. The switch position is read by the control system. Both control panels are receiving and
displaying data simultaneously. The control system determines which panel is allowed to send data.

GUI-1 control panel


The serial remote interface option requires the GUI-1 software version to be V05.300 or higher.

3.6.3. BUP2 converter

General

The purpose of the BUP2 converter is to serve as an interface the bipolar (RS422-type) depth sensors
and the RD module inputs (PW).
A low-going 56 ms TTL-level trigger pulse from the RD module is shortened to a 2 ms RS422-level
bipolar trigger pulse for the sensor. The sensor then sends back a pulse-width-modulated RS422-
level pulse. This pulse is converted back into a high-going TTL-level pulse for the RD module.

Properties

15 V sensor supply.
All connections short-circuit-protected, GND / +24 V.

Diagnostics

In normal operation, the green 24 V OK indicator light should be on and both yellow LEDs blinking
rapidly.
- The green 24V OK indicator light is on when supply voltage is available.
- The yellow TRGout OK indicator light blinks rapidly when the BUP2 receives trigger pulses from
the RD module and sends them to the sensor. (NOTE: If the RD module has not been initialized
through the CAN bus, it does not send the trigger signal.)
- The yellow PWin OK indicator light blinks rapidly when the BUP2 receives pulse-width-modulated
measurement data from the sensor.

Compatibility with the old BUP2 module (ID-17736678)

The BUP2 is fully compatible with the old BUP module. If the BUP (ID-17736678) is replaced with
the BUP2 (ID-10737848) and the BUP2 does not work properly (TRGout indicator light blinks but
PWin is off), interchange the TRGout+ and TRGout- wires coming from the sensor.

Checking the operation

To quickly check the operation, follow these steps:


- Connect 24 V voltage (X1/4: +24 V, X1/5: GND).
- Connect the TRG outputs to the PW inputs (X1/11 to X1/8 and X1/12 to X1/7).
- Connect wire X1/10 to the TRGin- connection, and quickly touch the 24 V terminal with it.
- If the BUP2 is intact, both yellow indicator lights blink when the terminal is touched.

3.6.4. Danfoss valve

The Danfoss valve is not part of the control system but an actuator. However, it must be noted that
the valve self-diagnostics affect valve behavior.
The Danfoss proportional valves, for rotation flow (Y5-6) and feed flow (Y3-4), operate with a
proportional input signal. This means that the input signal (connector pin 2) is defined as a proportion
of the supply voltage (connector pin 1).
The active signal range is 2575% of the supply voltage. The neutral position has been defined as
50%.
Connector pin order:
1 = power supply, 2 = control, 3 = fault signal, 4 = ground

Fault monitoring system

Danfoss valves have fault monitoring built into the valve control unit. The indicator light is on top of
the valve control unit.

Danfoss valve control unit indicator light


When the indicator light is green, the valve is operating normally. If a fault is detected by the valve
monitoring system, the indicator light turns red and an error signal is sent to connector pin 3 (= 20
V).
The following events may cause a fault message in the fault monitoring system:
- Control signal monitoring: The control signal voltage is continuously monitored. The allowed
range is 1585% of the supply voltage. The DL control system supply voltage may be 2428 V.
- Spool position: The valve measures the spool position continuously. If, on account of a broken
sensor or a short circuit, the measurement cannot be done, an error signal is given.
- Spool position compared to the control signal: The actual position of the spool must always
correspond to the required position (control signal). If the distance from neutral to the actual position
is greater than the required distance, the system detects an error and issues an error signal.

Two types of Danfoss valves have been used in DL control systems. Fault monitoring is active in the
old type and passive in the new type of valves. The valve type was changed in 1997.

Operation, maintenance and fault finding

Active type

The error state is retained in the memory. Even when the error condition disappears, the alarm signal
(red indicator light) will not go off (turn green) until the control system has been restarted. When the
indicator light turns red, it disables the operation of the valve and the spool moves to the middle
position.

Passive type

The error state is not retained in the memory. When the error condition disappears, the alarm signal
(red indicator light) goes off (turns green) and the valve can be used without restarting ofe system.

Module-internal protection

Each FPVC drilling control module has one built-in 24 VDC, 500 mA Vref output (XJ4.1) protected
by a semiconductor fuse. When the fault is eliminated, this fuse is reset automatically.
The FPVC module is described in more detail in the section "Fast Proportional Valve Controller

3.6.6. Fan option

The fan option makes it possible to drill an uphole fan with DL420 ZRF and DL410 ZRC rigs. The fan
option requires optional equipment to be installed on the rig. Required equipment:
- Linear position sensors for:
- boom extension (B101)
- drilling unit (B16)
- Boom swing angle sensor (B11) The structure and operation corresponds to the boom tilt angle
sensor.
- Stinger pressure sensors, front (B152) and rear (B15).
- Stinger proximity switches, front (S151) and rear (S14, S14.2).

The above components are connected to the system via the free analog and digital inputs of the
existing TAS modules. The connections are made as follows:
1. Module no. 03, in the R2 box:
- boom extension linear position sensor B101
- boom swing angle sensor B11
2. Module no. 05, in the R3 box:
- front stinger proximity switch S151
- rear stinger proximity switch S14.1, S14.2
3. Module no. 06, in the R4 box:
- drilling unit position sensor B16
- front stinger pressure sensor B152
- rear stinger pressure sensor B15

For more information about the connections, refer to the DL400-series fan control circuit diagram.
Implementation of the fan option also requires rig's software to be updated.

3.7. TMS-ZRU

TMS-ZRU is an angle indicator system intended for devices equipped with SB120P booms. The
system is based on a completely different set of sensors than the current TMS system. TMS-ZRU
utilizes a TAS module serial communication interface that has so far been used only to connect the
QN panel to the DL control system.
The system consists of five angle sensors, three double-axled tilt sensors, two potentiometer angle-
sensors and one linear sensor. The sensors are placed and connected as follows:
- 1. Angle sensor B140 is located in the front of the carrier and measures the tilt angle of the carrier
both from the front and from the sides. The sensor is connected to the FPVC in box R1..
- 2. Angle sensor B20 is installed on the swing joint of the boom and measures the swing angle of
the boom. The sensor is connected to the FPVC in box R2.
- 3. Tilt sensor B26 is located below the outer boom and measures the elevation of the boom both
from the front and from the sides. The sensor is connected to the FPVC in box R2
- 4. Angle sensor B6 is installed on the tilt joint of the drilling module and measures the tilt angle of
the drilling module. The sensor is connected to the FPVC in box R3.
- 5. Tilt sensor B7 is located in the drilling module and measures the rotation angle of the drilling
module. The sensor is connected to the FPVC in box R3.
- 6. Linear sensor B17 is installed on the drilling boom, attached to the outer boom and has a
measuring wire in the inner boom. The sensor measures the length of the boom according to the
changes in length of the measuring wire when the zoom movement of the boom is used. The sensor
is connected to the RD module in box R2.

3.8. Serial remote control interface

The serial remote control interface is an option that enables connection of the DL control panel to the
DL control system via an RS422 serial connection. If the serial remote control interface is
implemented, the local remote control panel cannot be used and the panel selection switch selects
between the local panel and the serial remote control panel. To add the serial remote control interface
to the DL control system, the following components are required:
- junction box (JB21), installed near the 2XH connector
- wiring between the NN-box's terminal strip and JB21 and from JB21 to 06 (DL430 model) or to 07
(other DL400 models)

In addition to hardware components, software changes are required:


- DL application program with the remote control option
- GUI-1 software version V05.300 or higher for the serial remote control panel

3.8.1. Remote start

A DL control panel operated through the serial remote control interface works like a normal control
panel. The DL control system can be started remotely from this control panel. This cannot be done
with the local panel or the local remote control panel. Remote starting is possible only if
communication between the remote control panel and the DL control system is working.
Remote starting can be performed by pressing the power pack stop button (SH71) and horn button
(S81) simultaneously and holding for five seconds. The bypass button (SH80) light and horn button
light will then start to blink slowly. The DL control system is reset within a maximum of four minutes.

4.3. Boom tilt angle sensor IASU 45 (B6) with TMS (optional)

This text refers also to the boom swing angle sensor (B11), which is required for the fan option.

The tilt sensor is used for measuring the feed


tilt angle.
SF XXX
The transducer is enclosed in an aluminum cas-
ing and connected to the control system
through a five-pin MIL connector. Supply volt- UP
age is 15 VDC from the RD module.
The sensor is an inclinometer-type angle sen-
sor. It utilizes Earth's gravity, and its measure- --- +
ment range is 45. It operates on a capacitive 45 45
principle, so there are no moving mechanical
parts in the sensor. The angle value is deter- 0

mined on the basis of the level changes of the


liquid inside the sensor as the sensor tilts.
The RD module sends a triggering signal to the
angle sensor at a set frequency (80 ms inter-
val). When the sensor has received the trigger-
ing signal, it sends a so-called PW (pulse width)
signal to the RD module. The raw value of the
angle corresponds to the width of the PW sig-
nal.
The POL signal indicates the change of the
transducer's range from positive to negative.

4.4. Rotation sensor IASU 360 (B7) with TMS (optional)

The rotation sensor is used for measuring the feed rotation angle.
The twin sensor is enclosed in an aluminum casing and connected to the control system through a
10-pin MIL connector. The supply voltage is 15 VDC from the RD module.
The sensors are inclinometer-type angle sensors. They utilize the Earth's gravity, and their
measurement range is 360. The operating principle is capacitive; i.e., there are no moving
mechanical parts in the sensors. The angle value is determined on the basis of liquid level changes
as the sensors tilt.
The RD module sends a triggering signal to the angle sensors at a certain frequency (80 ms interval).
After receiving the triggering signal, the sensor sends a PW (pulse-width) signal to the RD module.
The raw value of the angle corresponds to the width of the PW signals.
The POL signals indicate the change of the sensors' range from positive to negative.

4.5. Rock drill position sensor (B8) with TMS, DDS, and DATA equipment

This sensor is used for measuring the rock drill penetration rate, measuring the hole depth in
automatic rigs, and determining the rock drill position.

Signal processing

The RD module sends a unipolar triggering signal to the BUP2 module at a certain frequency (30 ms
interval). The BUP2 module transforms this signal into a bipolar triggering signal for the depth sensor.
After receiving the triggering signal, the sensor sends a bipolar PW (pulse-width) signal to the BUP
module. The depth value corresponds to the width of the PW signal. The BUP2 transforms the PW
signal back into a unipolar signal for the RD module.

Operation of the sensor

In the sensor, a torsional strain pulse is induced in a specially designed magnetostrictive waveguide
by the momentary interaction of two magnetic fields. One of these fields emanates from a permanent
magnet that passes along the outside of the sensor tube. The other is produced by a current pulse
launched along a wire inside the waveguide.
The interaction between the two fields produces a strain pulse, which travels at ultrasonic speed down
the waveguide. This strain pulse is detected by a coil at the end of the device.
The position of the permanent magnet can be measured precisely by measuring the wave travel time.

Rock drill position sensor change

In 2004, the position sensors of Solo 200/07/7 and Solo Sixty rock drills were changed from TTS-RX-
M-1280-D-E-004 and TTS-RX-M-2000-D-E-004 to GHS1280MW052DE3 and
GHS2000MW052DE3. This change was because the depth sensor manufacturer stopped
manufacturing the TTS models. Just before the change, the conductive material inside the sensor
waveguide was also changed. The current/strain pulse propagation velocity was lower in the new
material. Because of this, the pulse-width values grew so high that they caused failure of the linear
sensors. To avoid the linear sensor failures, the sensor pulse circulation factor was changed from 4
to 3. The circulation factor indicates the number of times that the sensor signal converter unit
measures the magnet location before passing the result to the RD module. This causes a problem
in some very old Solo rigs, since they have a fixed depth scaling factor; i.e., they had no depth sensor
calibration feature. If the new sensor model is installed on such old Solos, the software must be
upgraded. In this case, please contact Sandvik's customer service department.

These new GH-series sensors have error indi-


LEDS cator lights.

4.8. Boom extension (B101) and rock drill unit (B16) linear position sensors
with the fan option

These sensors are used for measuring the drilling unit position during positioning of the feed beam
for the hole to be drilled.

Signal processing

The sensor generates an initial pulse with a frequency of 2 kHz. This pulse is reflected back from the
point where the magnet is. The reflected pulse is converted to a 420 mA current message inside
the sensor. The current message is then sent to the RD module analog input. The depth value
corresponds to the current value of the message.

Operation of the sensor

The sensor generates a short current pulse, the initial pulse, which starts the measurement. The pulse
generates a magnetic field that spirals around the sensor waveguide. A permanent magnet at the
measurement point is used as the marker element for the position. Its magnetic field is at a right angle
to the magnetic field generated by the current pulse. In the area of the waveguide, where these two
magnetic fields intersect, a magnetostrictive effect causes an elastic deformation of the waveguide,
which propagates along the waveguide in the form of a mechanical deformation wave at 2830 m/s.
The component of the deformation wave that reaches the far end of the waveguide is damped, and
the component that arrives at the signal converter is converted into an electrical signal through
reversal of the magnetostrictive effect. The deformation wave travel time from the point of origin to
the signal converter is directly proportional to the distance between the permanent magnet and the
signal converter.

7. MODULE STATUS AND ERRORS

The GUI panel module status display can be found under the SERVICE -> Show Status menu option,
and it looks like this:

Example: Mod2:0410
Status: OK=browsing ESC=quit 04 = module-specific status
Mod0:0000 Mod1:0000 Mod2:0410
Mod3:0000 Mod4:0000 Mod5:0000 10 = general module status
Mod6:0000 Mod7: Mod8:

Each module on the bus has a four-digit status indicator. The last two digits are the same for all
modules. They indicate the general module status.
The first two digits indicate the module-specific status, and they vary by module type.
If the module status indicator is showing different digits than shown in the tables below, the module
has multiple errors active at the same time. For example, the status of module 0 (FPVC) is 0303,
meaning that the module has general errors 0001 and 0002 and module-specific errors 0100 and
0200 active.

Valve power supply

The Danfoss valves for both feed and rotation are supplied with operating voltage from FPVC pin
XJ2:8. The valve power supply works such that the pin and thus the valve is supplied with voltage
only when one of the valves is being controlled. When the Danfoss valves are not being controlled,
XJ2:8 is not supplied with voltage.

8.9. GUI-1 panel faults

Operation of the DL control system has been reported to be unusual on occasion in two situations:
percussion and rotation continued without the operator touching any button or joystick. Replacement
of the GUI-1 corrected the problem. Later investigations confirmed that there was a broken film wire
in the GUI circuit board. This fault caused the voltage to leak to the wrong wires. It is therefore
important that the removed GUI-1 be sent to the factory for further investigation in cases like the
above.
If the ambient temperature becomes very high, the GUI-1 display might fade such that no text or
numbers can be seen. The DL control system still works. To make the text reappear, cool down the
surroundings of the GUI-1. You can also try to adjust the GUI-1 display brightness, using the
potentiometer shown in the picture below.

9. MEASUREMENTS FOR THE VALVES AND PRESSURE SENSORS

Two types of connectors are used in the DL control system valves and pressure sensors.

ON/OFF and PWM valves:

These valve types use three-pin connectors.


The connector can be connected to the valve in
either of two ways. Both ways are correct.

LED+Z -DIODI

Danfoss valves and pressure sensors:

These devices use four-pin connectors. The


connector can be connected in one way only.

To enable measurements for all valve and pressure sensor types that use the above connectors, a
special measuring adapter (ID 55022523) can be obtained from Sandvik.
The correct values for the following measurements are indicated in the section Valve and pressure
sensor electrical measurements.

9.1. ON/OFF and PWM valves

These valve types use three-pin connectors.


1. Measure the current (A) from pin 1 or 2.

9.2. Danfoss valves

Danfoss valves use four-pin connectors.


1. Measure the voltage (V).
2. Measurements can be conducted for three different values:

- power supply (between pins 1 and 4)


- control voltage (between pins 2 and 4)
- fault monitoring (between pins 3 and 4)

2. If the cable has been connected according to the above instructions, check whether the cable wires
have been connected to the right pins at the sensor end.
- Disconnect the cable connector from the linear sensor.
- Disconnect the cable from the corresponding RD module, wire by wire, and measure the resistance
with a multimeter to determine where each wire has been connected.
- After measuring, connect the wires back to the module connectors.
- The correct order for the linear sensor connector pins is as follows:

side) solder side.

3. If the cables and wires are connected correctly but the signal is still missing, the fault is in either
the sensor or the RD module. To find out which one is faulty, perform the following measurements:
- Measure the sensor input voltage with a multimeter (DC area) from sensor connector pin 7 with the
wire connected to the module VOUT connector. Repeat the measurement with the wire
disconnected from the VOUT connector. If the measurement result is not 24 V in one case or the
other, the module is faulty. If the measurement result is 24 V with the VOUT wire disconnected,
there is a short circuit in the linear sensor. Check the connection information etc.
- Disconnect wire 1 from the module analog input (AIN0 or AIN2) connector and measure the
resistance between the module analog input and the module ground connector. The resistance
must be about 125 ohms. If the resistance is considerably higher or lower than 125 ohms, the
module analog input is probably faulty. Reconnect the wire after the measurement.

- If the measured resistance is about 125 ohms, check the operation of the linear sensor. Measure
the voltage between the module analog input and the module ground connector with a multimeter
(DC area). Depending on the position of the magnet, the analog input voltage must be 0.52.5 V.
If the measured voltage is within this range, the module (RD) is faulty.

NOTE: The linear sensor input voltage must be 24 V during the measurements.

11. THE DL431 BOOM LINEAR SENSOR

Measuring with the DL431 booms telescopic movement linear sensor is done as follows:
1. Turn off the power for both the device and the devices control system.
2. Open the R4 box.
3. Using a multimeter, measure the resistances detailed in the table below. The allowed resistance
values are provided in the table.
4. Measure the resistance between the coil and the ground for each resolver coil. The resistance
value must be over 1M. Low resistance can be caused by deterioration of the resolver coil, a
damaged sensor cable or moisture buildup inside the resolver or sensor cable. A wet resolver must
be dried out or replaced.

Coil Connection Resistance


Reference XJ1:1-XJ1:2 30...50
Sin XJ1:3-XJ1:4 100...150
Cosine XJ1:5-XJ1:6 100...150

Resolver coil resistances vary slightly between different sensors.

12. ELECTRICAL MEASUREMENTS

This chapter presents a way to check controllers operation with a multimeter. So some experience
of using multimeter is assumed.Now before you continue, turn off powerpacks if they are running and
follow the instructions. And it helps to have electrical diagrams available.

12.1. FPVC/RD modules operation check

12.1.1. Checking the supply voltage

There are two small LEDs on the 7-segment dis-


play (see the arrows). When both LEDs are lit, the
FPVC/RD receives its operating voltage. If only
the left LED is lit, the I/O section receives oper-
ating voltage, but the sensor supply does not. If
only the right LED is lit, the situation is the oppo-
site.
. .
You can check the I/O supply voltage also by measuring it directly from the FPVC/RD connectors.
Connect the COM terminal of the multimeter to GND connector (FPVC: XJ2.10, RD: XJ2.9) and the
V terminal to VIO connector (FPVC: XJ2.11, RD: XJ2.10). The voltage should be 24...30 VDC. If this
is not the case, check the fuses and the power supply of the module.
You can check the sensor supply voltage also by measuring it directly from the FPVC/RD connectors.
Connect the COM terminal of the multimeter to GND connector (FPVC: XJ5.6, RD: XJ5.6) and the V
terminal to VS connector (FPVC: XJ5.1, RD: XJ5.1). The voltage should be 24...30 VDC. If this is not
the case, check the fuses and the power supply of the module.

12.4. Measurements for the CAN cable

For CAN cable measurement and troubleshooting, the multimeter and the devices control circuit
diagram are used. CAN bus troubleshooting using a multimeter involves measuring the resistance
values of the termination resistors and checking the voltage during normal operation. When
measuring the resistance, note that the power must be disconnected from the control system. By
contrast, measurement of the bus voltage levels is carried out when the control system is live.
The multimeter cannot be used to verify definitively that the bus is OK, but it can be used to detect
the most common bus faults, such as interruptions and short circuits. Faults that cannot be detected
with a multimeter include a damaged CAN sensor (sensor signal fault) and missing CAN signals.
Generally, bit-level signal faults cannot be detected with a multimeter.
Turn off the control system power with switch S900.
Open the NN box door.
The letter M refers to the measuring point see the diagram at the end of this section.

M1 Measure the total resistance of the CAN bus between pins 925 and 926 of
connector group X900. The total resistance consists of the 120-ohm (180-ohm)
termination resistors, cables, connectors, and modules.
A If the measurement result is approximately 60 ohms 5 ohms (82 ohms 5
ohms), the bus cables, connectors, and termination resistors are intact.
B If the measurement result is less than 50 ohms, there is a short circuit on the
CAN bus. Go to items M2 and M3.
C If the measurement result is more than 100 ohms, one end of the CAN bus is
interrupted. Go to items M2 and M3.

M2 Separate the branches of the CAN bus (marked CARRIER and FEED UNIT)
from each other by disconnecting the M12-CAN bus cables from the mobile
computers A904 connectors X8 and X9.
Measure the total resistance of the CAN bus marked with the text CARRIER
between pins 925 and 926 of connector group X900. A brown and a white cable
are connected to the connectors.
A If the measurement result is approximately 120 ohms 5 ohms (165 ohms 5
ohms), the bus cables, connectors, and termination resistors are intact.
B If the measurement result is less than 50 ohms, there is a short circuit on the
CAN bus. Find and repair the fault.
C If the measurement result is more than 1000 ohms, one end of the CAN bus is
interrupted. Find and repair the fault.

M3 Measure the total resistance of the CAN bus marked with the text FEED UNIT
between pins 922 and 923 of connector group X900. A brown and a white cable
are connected to the connectors.
A If the measurement result is approximately 120 ohms 5 ohms (170 ohms 5
ohms), the bus cables, connectors, and termination resistors are intact.
B If the measurement result is less than 50 ohms, there is a short circuit on the
CAN bus. Disconnect boom CAN cable connectors XE and XF, one at a time,
and repeat the measurements to determine the location of the fault more pre-
cisely. Find and repair the fault.

C If the measurement result is more than 1000 ohms, one end of the CAN bus is
interrupted. Disconnect boom CAN cable connectors XE and XF, one at a time,
and measure the bus resistance between contacts 1 and 2 in the connector to
determine the location of the fault more precisely. Find and repair the fault.
(Not all rigs include an XF connector.)

M4 Disconnect the mobile computers A904 connectors X8 and X9. Connect the
cables by intertwining them. NOTE: The mobile computer is now disconnected
from the CAN bus.
Turn on the control system power with switch S900.
Measure the CAN bus idling voltage between connectors 925(CAN_L) and 906
(0 V) as well as 926 (CAN_H) and 906 (0 V) in connector group X900.
A If the measurement result is 2.5 V 0.2 V, the CAN bus is intact.
B If the measurement result is about 0 V or 5 V, there is a short circuit on the CAN
bus. Go to items M5 and M6.

M5 Separate the branches of the CAN bus (marked CARRIER and FEED UNIT)
from each other by disconnecting the mobile computers A904 connectors X8
and X9.
Measure the idling voltage for the CANH (white) and CANL (brown) cables be-
tween connectors 925 (CAN_L) and 906 (0 V) as well as 926 (CAN_H) and 906
(0 V) in connector group X900 on the CAN bus marked with the text CARRIER.
The measurement can also be carried out with cable W310 (CARRIER).
A If the measurement result is 2.5 V 0.2 V, the CAN bus is intact.
B If the measurement result is about 0 V or 5 V, there is a short circuit on the CAN
bus. Find the location of the fault by checking the CAN bus, module by module,
and by measuring the idle voltage between the CANH and CANL wires and
ground. For the correct measuring points for each module, refer to the circuit
diagram. After locating the fault, repair it.

M6 Measure the idling voltage for the CANH (white) and CANL (brown) cables be-
tween connectors 922 (CAN_L) and 906 (0 V) as well as 923 (CAN_H) and 906
(0 V) in connector group X900 on the CAN bus marked with the text FEED
UNIT. The measurement can also be carried out with cable W310 (FEED
UNIT).
A If the measurement result is 2.5 V 0.2 V, the CAN bus is intact.
B If the measurement result is about 0 V or 5 V, there is a short circuit on the CAN
bus. Find the location of the fault by checking the CAN bus, module by module,
and by measuring the idle voltage between the CANH and CANL wires and the
ground. After locating the fault, repair it.

Operation, maintenance and fault finding

Measure the total resistance for the bus. The total resistance for the system
consists of parallel 120 termination resistors, bus cables, etc. In the picture,
both ends of the actual CAN bus are equipped with termination resistors of 120
. Normally, the resistance caused by these two termination resistors is visible
when measured between CAN_HI and CAN_LO as ~60 , but each node con-
nected to the bus decreases this resistance value.
A If the measurement result is less than 50 , there is a short circuit on the bus.
B If the measurement result is more than 120 , one end of the bus is interrupted.

Measuring the CAN bus voltage level

Locate the fault by checking the CAN bus one module at a time. Move the termination resistor of the
bus towards another measuring point, measuring the idling voltage between the CAN_HI-CAN_LO
wires and the ground. This enables you to narrow down the fault area, limiting the number of
possibilities.
1. Switch the power on.
2. Measure the idling voltage of wires CAN_HI and CAN_LO against the CAN bus ground.
1. If the measurement result is 2.5 V 0.2 V, the CAN bus is intact.
2. If the measurement result is less than 1 V or more than 4 V, there is a short circuit on the CAN
bus.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. The Purpose of these instructions
This manual contains supplementary information for operation,
maintenance and repair of a component.
Before operating, or performing maintenance or repair procedures for the
component or system described in this manual, read and understand the
information in operators and maintenance manuals supplied with the
machine. Pay special attention to the safety information in chapter "2 Safety
and environmental instructions" of those manuals.
1.1.1. Validity of the manuals

This manual, and especially the safety information, is valid only if no


unauthorized changes to the product are made.
Continuing improvement and advancement of product design might have
caused changes to your product which are not included in this publication.
Note also that if a third party has made changes to the product after
delivery from the manufacturer, this publication does not include
information on these changes or their influences on the product.
Whenever a question arises regarding your product, or this manual, please
consult your local Sandvik representative for the latest available
information.

1.2. Introduction
Directionality - The light emitted from a laser is well collimated and
spreads little as it travels through space. For example, if the beam
emerging from a laser is a half millimeter in diameter, it will only spread to
about six millimeters at a distance of five meters and it can be refocused to
a spot less than a half millimeter in diameter, even at great distances. This
property makes the laser an ideal tool for alignment and long distance
measurement.
Intensity - The laser concentrates large amounts of light energy into a very
narrow beam. To illustrate, the intensity (power divided by area) of a five
milliwatt laser is approximately 0,65 W/cm2. This high intensity leads to
significant improvements in experimental signal-to-noise ratio.
Monochromaticity - The laser light is of one color (one wavelength). In the
case of a helium-neon laser, the wavelength is 650 nm.
By contrast, a light bulb produces many wavelengths simultaneously.
Monochromaticity can be demonstrated by passing light through a prism,
which will disperse the output of a light bulb into a rainbow of colors. The
beam of red light from a He-Ne laser, however, will emerge unchanged.
Monochromaticity makes the laser excellent for light scattering and
spectroscope experiments, which require a narrowband light source.

2. SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL INSTRUCTIONS


2.1. Precautions for safe operation
Laser LMS-1103 is of the class power lasers, whose beams are, by
definition, safety hazards. Take precautions to prevent direct viewing
by unprotected eyes or accidental exposure to specular eam
reflections.

DANGEROUS VOLTAGE AND CURRENT Both the laser head and


power supply contain electrical circuits operating at high voltage and
current that can cause severe injury or death. Exercise extreme
caution whenever the laser head or power supply cover is removed.
Avoid contact with high voltage terminals and components.

Do not attempt to view either a direct or reflected beam without eye


protection.
Establish a controlled access area for laser operation. Limit access to
those persons who are trained in laser safety principles.
Post warning sings prominently near the laser operation area.
Set up a folded metal beam target to capture the laser beam and prevent
accidental exposure.
Set up shields to prevent stray reflections from escaping the laser
operating area.
To avoid unnecessary radiation exposure, keep the lasers protective
housing in place during normal operation.
Set up experiments so that the laserbeamis either above orbeloweye
level.
Provide enclosures for beam paths whenever possible.

5. ALIGNMENT LASER MAINTENANCE


5.1. Maintenance
The alignment laser requires no maintenance. The cavity mirror surfaces
are inside the glass plasma tube and protected from contamination; they
cannot be cleaned.
It is unlikely that contamination would make its way to the outer surface of
the output mirror. We recommend in any case that you close the beam
attenuator when the laser is not in use to further reduce possible
contamination.

3.1.3 Drill plans


Before fan automation can be used the operator has to create at least one
drill plan which will then be selected as active for drilling. Instructions on
how to create and delete drill plans are given in section 4.2 Management of
drill plans (Page 32). Instructions on how to select drill plans are given in
section 4.2.7 Selecting a drill plan for drilling (Page 44).
All the drill plans (max amount 15) are stored in as files on the system disk.
These can be edited, copied, and deleted.
The drill plan file contains the following header information:
Level name (optional, given when saving drill plan)
Stope name (optional, given when saving drill plan)
Drift name (optional, given when saving drill plan)
Fan id
Date created
Time created
Number of holes
and for each hole the following information:
Hole number
Drilling module tilt angle
Drilling module rotation angle
Pivot point offset
Drilling module feed position
Hole depth
Breakthrough hole status (yes/no)
Collar pipe hole status (yes/no)
These are illustrated in the following picture:

3.1.4 Active drill plan


Before starting fan automation one of the created drill plans must be
selected and made active. Only one plan at the time can be the active
plan. When a drill plan is made active the hole data is copied to system
working memory. The active plan contains the following extra information
needed during drilling of the fan:
1. Hole sequence
Hole sequence defines the order in which holes are to be drilled (see
section 4.1.8 STEP 8 - Define fan drilling sequence (Page 25)).
2. Hole status
Hole status affects which phase of fan automation (position, drill,
uncouple) will be active when fan automation is started. The operator
can affect which holes are drilled using the skip status. Hole statuses
and their meaning are as follows:
- Waiting
- Hole is undrilled. Fan automation will begin with positioning
phase
- Drilling
- Hole is being drilled
- Uncoupling
- Hole has been stopped during uncoupling phase. Fan
automation will continue with uncoupling phase.
- Finished
- Hole had been drilled and uncoupled successfully.
- Skip
- Operator has specified that the hole should not be drilled.
Fan automation will skip over these hole to next hole with
Waiting status.
- Interrupted
- Positioning or drilling of hole has been interrupted with an
error, or operator has pressed STOP button. If fan
automation was stopped during positioning stage then after
restart the operator will be prompted to continue with
positioning or continue in current boom position with stinging
and hole collaring.
- Aborted
- Collaring of collar pipe hole has failed (collar pipe not found).
3. Last hole
After define the order of drilling (drilling sequence) then the last hole
is selected. Fan automation will halt after this hole is finished. For
example the operator might select the next last hole based on the
amount of meters to drill with current bit.

Fan automation 360, Operation instructions

3.1.5 Navigation
Navigation is the action through which the machine is shown a reference
point (B) in the tunnel. This is done by driving boom zoom and swing joints
manually until the drilling module rotation axis is located at the reference
point. Normally this reference point will be located on the center line of the
tunnel. Drillplan holes will be drilled relative to this point.
This reference point is a real position in the tunnel and must be known
before designing the fan. Each hole in the drillplan is then given an offset
position from the pivot point offset (C), in addition to rotation and tilt angles,
and hole depth. All the pivot points specified in the drill plan will be
automatically located at the same horizontal level where the rotation axis is
at the moment of navigation. The minimum height of the navigation
reference point is 2.2 m (A) from the floor.

- +

A Minimum height of middle point from floor level is 2,2 m (height of


rotation axis when boom zoom completely in).
B Navigation middle point = reference point = pivot point
C Hole pivot point offset

4 FAN AUTOMATION 360 OPERATION


4.1 FAN automation overview
This section gives an overview of the steps required when using fan
automation. For detailed instructions of each step see the following
sections.
After tramming to the fan location and setting up the rig, the normal flow of
tasks required before starting fan automation is as follows:
1. Create / edit the fan to be drilled.
2. Finish currently active fan.
3. Select the drillplan after which it becomes the active fan.
4. If necessary change hole statuses, for example skip holes which are not
to be drilled.
5. Navigate the rig to the tunnel center line.
6. If necessary, drill the collar pipe holes, install the collar pipes, and define
collar pipe location and start depth.
7. Test the fan for possible collision with rig frame, tunnel wall, roof bolts or
other obstacles.
8. Define the fan drilling sequence.
9. Set last hole.
10. Start fan automation drilling.
11. Stop fan automation and change bit as required.
12. Continue the fan automation drilling.
4.1.1 STEP 1 - Create and edit drill plan
At least one drill plan must exist on the system disk before fan automation
can be started.
The following actions can be carried out on drill plans:
1. Creation of drill plans.
2. Copy and modification of existing drill plan ( add holes, delete holes,
modify hole data, rename ).
3. Deletion of drill plans.
See chapter 4.2 Management of drill plans (Page 32): for details about
how to create and edit the drill plan.
4.1.2 STEP 2 - Finish currently active fan
Before a new drill plan can be selected the current active fan must be
ended. From the start display (which shows SANDVIK text) press the
ZERO SET button.
1. Select the END FAN menu option.
2. After which you will be prompted to press OK to finish the previous fan.
The drill plan memory will now be cleared, allowing a new drill plan to be
selected.

ID: BG00220350 en-US A.001.1 2014-05-26
Fan automation 360, Operation instructions

4.1.3 STEP 3 - Select drill plan


See chapter 4.2.7 Selecting a drill plan for drilling (Page 44) for details
about how to select the drill plan.
After the drill plan is selected, it becomes the new active fan. All holes in
the plan are set to WAITING status. In addition first hole is set to LAST
HOLE (LAST WAIT).
4.1.4 STEP 4 - Edit active fan data, change hole statuses and fan last hole
If necessary the active fan data can now be edited, editing of the active fan
data does not affect the original drill plan.
The following actions can be carried out on the active drill plan:
1. Edit hole values, see section.
2. Create and delete holes.
3. Change hole statues. For example holes that are not to be drilled for
some reason can be set with SKIP status.
4. Teach hole positions and angles based on current boom module position.
4.1.5 STEP 5 - Navigate
Navigate the drill rig according to the instructions in section 4.3 Navigation
of the rig (Page 51).
The height value shown in the navigation display is the distance from
ground to the drilling module rotation axis. Boom zoom movement should
be set so that the height value in the navigation display is approx. 230 cm.
Boom swing movement should be as close vertical as possible to provide
maximum offset movements for the drilling module. The following situations
should be kept in mind when navigating:
If the boom zoom is not extended enough and the boom swing
movement is not vertical there is a possibility that during drilling module
positioning the boom zoom movement sensor reading could go negative
value. If this happens automatic positioning is halted and an error
message will be generated.
If the boom zoom is extended too much, there is a possibility that during
positioning of the drilling module the boom zoom movement will not be
possible to reach the hole pivot point. If this happens automatic
positioning and an error message will be generated.
It may not be possible to reach pivot points on one side of the tunnel if
the swing joint is not close the vertical when navigation occurs.
Drill rig should be positioned to the middle of the tunnel and the boom
swing movement set to vertical during navigation.
4.1.6 STEP 6 - If necessary, drill the collar pipe holes
If collar pipe holes are marked in the dril plan, drill them and store the
actual drilling module position and position of the rock drill at hole start. For
further details see section 4.4 Collar pipe (Page 61).

ID: BG00220350 en-US A.001.1 2014-05-26
Fan automation 360, Operation instructions

4.1.7 STEP 7 - Test fan


Before starting the fan it is necessary to test the fan to make sure that there
are no collisions with rig frame, tunnel walls, roof support such as rock
bolts, or other obstacles in the tunnel. Testing the fan involves
automatically aligning the boom to each hole in turn, and if necessary
making corrections to the hole start position. See section 4.3.3 Testing the
fan (Page 58) for further details.
After selecting and aligning the boom to the planned hole start position,
corrections to the hole start position can be made in any of three different
ways:
1. Driving the boom to the new start position and teaching the new pivot
point, offset drilling module position and drilling angles with the STORE
POS feature. see sections 4.3.3 Testing the fan (Page 58) and
4.4.5 Teaching of the collar pipe hole position to the system (Page 66).
2. Driving to the new start position and teaching separately new pivot
position and/or rotation angle. After correcting the pivot point offset the
rotation angle and hole depth can if be recalculated (corrected) so that
the hole bottom is at the same position. See section TEACH ROT. and
CORR. ROT features (Page 60).
3. Active plan hole data can be edited manually. See section Edit active
holes (Page 46).
4.1.8 STEP 8 - Define fan drilling sequence
By default after selecting the new drill plan and making it active the order of
drilling (drilling sequence) is the same as the order of hole number. Often
the operator will want to drill the holes in a different order to that of hole
number. The hole sequence can be changed using the EDIT SEQUENCE
feature (see section 4.2.9 Edit of drilling sequence (Page 50)).
4.1.9 STEP 9 - Set last hole
Normally not all fan holes can be drilled without halting, for example for a
bit change. Before starting fan automation the LAST HOLE must be set.
Fan automation will halt after the current last hole is drilled and uncoupled.
The current last hole to be drilled can be set in one of two ways:
1. From the EDIT SEQUENCE display using the SET button (see section
4.2.9 Edit of drilling sequence (Page 50)).
2. From the EDIT ACTIVE display using the SET button (see section Edit
active hole status (Page 47)).

4.1.10 STEP 10 - Start fan automation (selected drill plan is active)


Change display to the SANDVIK display by pressing ESC on the control
panel.
Go to the START FAN display automation by pressing the DRILL/UNCPL
key.
The options available are as follows:
1. START FAN - Start the currently active fan.
2. ONE HOLE - Drill and uncouple one hole in normal one hole drill mode.
3. TEST FAN - Allows the operator to check for collisions by testing boom
movements before starting fan automation.
4. NAVIG - Navigation is done by driving boom zoom and swing joints
manually until the drilling module rotation axis is located at the reference
point.
Before starting fan automation with the START FAN option the drilling
module should be at one of the following positions:
At the navigation position with the tilt and rotation within 5 degrees of the
vertical position.
With the tilt and rotation within 5 degrees of the planned tilt and rotation
for the first hole.
If the remote operation option is installed and the machine is being started
from the remote panel then after selecting the START FAN option the
text START will be displayed for five seconds, during which you should
confirm start of fan automation by pressing the OK key.
After this the display will change to the fan automation positioning display.
This shows the current tilt and rotation angles using the large font, with the
target angles and current drilling depth shown in small font.
On the bottom line there is a status display which shows the current stage
of fan automation. Stages during positioning are as follows:
CHECKING ROCK DRILL POS
Rock drill moves to home position set in registers.
LIFTING STINGERS
Front and rear stingers are pulled in until inductive switches indicate that
they are fully inside.
DRIVE DR. UNIT TO HOME
Drilling module is driven to home position set in registers.
DRIVE BOOM ZOOM, SWING AND ROTATION TO PLANNED PIVOT
POINT OFFSET AND ROTATION ANGLE
Boom zoom, boom swing and drilling module rotation are driven to the
required pivot point offset and rotation angle of the hole.

ID: BG00220350 en-US A.001.1 2014-05-26
Fan automation 360, Operation instructions

If the required pivot point distance is greater than 0.5 m then the drilling
module is driven first to vertical up or down position, after which the
boom moves to the new pivot point position, after which the rotation
movement is carried out. During movement of the rotation joint the drilling
module is also corrected to avoid possible collision with the rig frame.
If the required total rotation angle distance is greater than 135 degrees
then the drilling module is positioned to the tunnel centerline position
( navigation position ) either vertical up or down, after which the rotation
joint is rotated 180 degrees to the opposite position. During movement of
the rotation joint the drilling module is also corrected to avoid possible
collision with the rig frame. After this the drilling module is positioned to
the planned offset and rotation angle.

An example of rotation and DM positioning when moving over large distance.

Start hole : rotation 135 deg, pivot point offset -1.0 m


Target hole: rotation 315 deg, pivot point offset 1.0 m
1. Rotation and DM at positions specified for start hole.
2. Rotation is positioned to vertical bit down, and DM positioned to home
position home pos offset.
3. Move to tunnel center position ( pivot point 0 m ). DM position is home
position home position offset.
4. Rotate to vertical bit up. DM is positioned to home position + home pos
offset.
5. Move to target rotation and pivot point offset. DM is positioned to that
specified for hole in drill plan.
DRIVING DR. UNIT
Drilling module moves to position set in drill plan.
DRIVING TILT
Drilling module tilt moves to position set in drill plan. Next stingers are
driven out. If hole is an uphole then the rear stingers are driven out first. If
hole is a downhole then the front stingers are driven out first.

Rear stingers push out until pressure rises above value set in registers. If
necessary boom rotation angle is corrected while stingers are being
driven out.
PUSHING FRONT STINGERS
Front stingers push out until pressure rises above value set in registers. If
necessary boom rotation angle is corrected while stingers are being
driven out.
CLOSING RETAINER
Retainer is closed.
OPENING RETAINER
Retainer is slowly opened until rotation pressure falls below value set in
registers.
FIND ROCK
Rock drill moves forward with flushing on until bit contacts with rock (feed
pressure rises above value set in registers). Rotation is by default OFF
during find rock but can be configured ON if necessary.
After detecting the rock surface the rock drill is pulled back a few
centimeters from the rock before setting rotation and percussion ON for the
collaring stage. Collaring continues to the depth set in the registers. After
this drilling begins, and the display changes from the alignment display to
the drilling display.

4.1.11 STEP 11 - Changing the bit


If the bit change status is set to ON (bit meter monitoring is ON) then after
the cumulative bit meters has reached the specified BIT LIFE value (see
chapter 4.8.3 Bit life monitoring (Page 75)) then drilling will be halted, the
rock drill pulled back to the back position and the following display shown
below:
Pressing ESC will return you to the alignment display.

** BIT METERS REACHED **

CURR DEPTH : 23.4 M


PLAN DEPTH : 29.0 M
BIT METERS : 150.0 M
BIT LIFE : 150.0 M
.......ESC

The information displayed is as follows:


CURR DEPTH - the current drilled depth for the hole defined from either
rock face or pivot point depending on which is selected.
PLAN DEPTH - the depth to be drilled to for the current hole.
BIT METERS - the number of meters drilled since last reset of bit meters.
BIT LIFE - the specified maximum drill meters before re-sharpening of
the bit.
Pressing ESC will return you to the alignment display.
This screen is cleared from the display by pressing ESC key. After this the
operator will typically continue in one of the following ways:
Uncouple the tubes automatically using the UNCPL option, change the
bit, reset the bit meters and continue with fan drilling.
If the hole is almost complete continue with automatic drilling until the
hole is completed after which the tubes will be uncoupled automatically.
After the last tube has been uncoupled fan automation will be halted and
the operator will be prompted to change the bit.

automatically set to INTERRUPTED if positioning or drilling of the hole is
halted during fan automation by pressing the STOP button.

Status waiting
If the status of the hole is WAITING , then this means that the hole is
undrilled, and that if the hole depth is greater than zero, the fan automation
will attempt to position to the hole and drill it. If the hole depth is set to zero,
the fan automation will only position to the hole, after which it moves
immediately to the next.

Status drilling
If the status is DRILLING , then the current hole is drilled according to set
parameters.

Status finished
If the status is FINISHED then the hole is drilled, and the fan automation
will not attempt to position to or drill the hole. During normal fan automation,
if drilling and uncoupling of the hole is completed successfully, then the
system will set hole status automatically to FINISHED . If for some reason
the operator does not wish to drill the hole then status can be set manually
to FINISHED .

Status skip
If status is SKIP , the hole operator has set the hole not to be drilled. In
other words the system will not attempt to position to or drill the hole. When
a hole that is not to be drilled use of this status is preferable, as it shows
more clearly which holes has been selected not to be drilled.

Status interrupted
As mentioned above the INTERRUPTED status is set if the positioning or
drilling of the hole is halted for one of the following reasons:
During fan automation by pressing the STOP button on the GUI panel.
Due to an error detected by the system diagnostics.
Drilling has been halted automatically to allow a bit change.
When fan automation is resumed, behavior will depend on the tube count
as follows.
If tube count is 1 then the operator will be prompted with the POSITIONING
INTERRUPTED display. From this display the following options are
available:
1. CONT. POS continue positioning of the hole. The whole positioning
phase will be restarted as described in section 4.1.10 STEP 10 - Start fan
automation (selected drill plan is active) (Page 26).
2. CONT. DRILL drill hole at current position. Using this option the
drilling module can be repositioned if necessary before restarting fan
automation. Fan automation continues with driving of stingers out
followed by the find rock stage. See section 4.1.12 STEP 12 - Restarting
the fan automation (Page 31) for further details.
If tube count is greater than 1 then normal drilling is continued.

Status uncoupling
If the status is UNCOUPLING , then after a restart of fan automation
(either START FAN or UNCPL button) the system will continue with
uncoupling, after which positioning to the next hole will start.

Status aborted
The hole status is set to aborted if collaring of a collar pipe hole has failed
(collar pipe not found). This status means that the hole is undrilled.

Setting last hole


After the drill plan has been selected, it is necessary to set the LAST
HOLE before fan automation is started.
In order to set the last hole, go to the hole in the EDIT display, and then
press the SET key. If the hole is WAITING, INTERRUPTED , or SKIP
when last hole status is set, the status becomes LAST HOLE. If the hole
is FINISHED when last hole status is set, the status becomes LAST HOLE
FINISHED .
Status LAST HOLE means that fan automation will end after the hole is
drilled finished, and status LAST HOLE FINISHED means that fan
automation will end when the previous hole is drilled finished.

4.5 Multi flush possibility with the first rod / tube


This feature can used if extra flushing is needed with the starter tube/rod.
This feature implements a new fan phase COLLAR AND FLUSH which
takes place between FIND ROCK and COLLAR . In the COLLAR AND
FLUSH phase the hole is drilled to a specified user defined depth. After
this drilling is halted and feed is set to backward. With flushing and rotation
on the drill bit is drawn out of the hole. When the bit is out, feed is set to
forwards and with flushing and rotation on the drill bit is driven again to the
hole. This flushing sequence is done as many times as specified.
Multi flush consists of three parameters: flush depth, flush count and extra
pull.
Flush depth (1) defines the drilling depth after which drilling is halted and
flushing sequence starts.
Flush count defines how many times the flushing cycle is executed.
During flushing cycle only feed rotation and flushing is used. Percussion
is again set on a couple centimeters before the hole bottom is reached at
the end of the last flushing cycle.
Extra pull (2) defines the distance how much the drill bit is drawn out of
the hole during each flushing cycle.

4.6 Drilling module home position and home position offset


The drilling module home position is the position to which the drilling
module is driven before starting positioning phase of fan automation. Home
position is selected in order to minimise the possibility of collision between
drilling module and frame during positioning.
Home position offset is the amount by which the home position is corrected
depending on rotation angle as follows:

1 2 3

1 Example position 1 Bit vertical up. Position to DM home position


+ home position offset
2 Example position 2 Bit vertical down. Position to DM home
position - home position offset
3 Example position 3 Bit horizontal. Position to DM home position.

4.7 Depth mode


When drilling with a machine equipped with the fan automation option,
there are two options for measuring hole depth:
1. From rock surface hole depth is set to zero when rock is detected. This
is the default setting.
2. From pivot point reference level hole depth is measured from the pivot
point reference level. This method makes use of boom and drilling
module sensors, and starter tube length value, in addition to the rock
detect position. If for some reason a boom or drilling module sensor is
not working then this method should not be used.

4.8 Settings
The following settings are specific to fan automation:
STARTER TUBE Configure length of the first tube. First tube length value
is used when depth is calculated from the pivot point reference level ( see
also DEPTH MODE configuration ). Configure multiflush feature.
MULTIFLUSH Multiflush feature can be used if rock conditions are poor
during collaring ( for example soft rock, clay ).
BIT CHANGE Configure bit meter monitoring ON or OFF .
DM HOME Configure home position of drilling module and position offset.
Home position is the position to which the drilling module is driven before
starting positioning phase. Home position is selected in order to minimise
the possibility of collision between drilling module and frame during
positioning. Home position offset is the amount by which the home position
is corrected depending on rotation angle.
DEPTH MODE Configure reference position from which hole depth is
counted, either from rock surface or from pivot point level.

4.11 How to skip a hole in the active fan


1. Go to the drill plan display
HOLE NUM :1 ESC = Quit
TILT : deg DMPOS : cm
ROT : deg PPOFF : cm
DEPTH : m <STATUS>

EDIT CHANGE SHOW SAVE


STATUS NEXT PLAN

Press the SET STATUS key until the status changes to SKIP.

4.12 How to skip an interrupted hole


If it is not possible to continue drilling of an interrupted hole, start
uncoupling with automatics. The tubes will be uncoupled and drilling will
continue with the next hole. If you uncouple the tubes manually, you can
restart fan automation as soon as there is only one tube left in the hole.

4.13 How to edit the drill plan during drilling or uncoupling


After drilling has started, press the PROG key and go to the EDIT ACTIVE
display. The active plan can now be edited as normal. Note however that
changes will not effect the hole that is currently being drilled. To change the
depth of the current hole, press the STOP button to interrupt the hole, edit
the hole depth, and then restart fan automation.

5 TROUBLESHOOTING
5.1 Pivot point cannot be reached
Consider the situation where the zoom joint has been almost fully extended
during navigation as shown below:

A Zoom almost fully extended

B Not enough zoom movement left to reach hole pivot point

If, before positioning, the system calculates that either the boom zoom or
the boom swing will go into end stop before reaching the planned hole pivot
point, then the following alarm message will be displayed:
PIVOT POINT OUT OF RANGE

Fan automation 360, Operation instructions

5.2 Boom zoom movement minimum length reached (zoom fully in)
Consider the situation where the navigation has been carried out with the
zoom joint almost fully in and the swing joint off the center position as
shown below:

A Zoom almost fully in at navigation

B Zoom position at hole position would have to be lower than fully in


position - zoom cannot position so that pivot point offset is reached

If the zoom position is too low, especially if the swing angle is significantly
greater than zero (greater than +/- 5 degrees) then there is the possibility
that the zoom position required to reach the pivot point position for some of
the holes will be less than the fully in position of the zoom. If this happens
then the system will not be able to position to the planned hole pivot point
offset.

5.3 Potential for collision if distance between holes large


If there is a large pivot point movement between consecutive holes is large,
then the potential for collision with frame or with tunnel wall increases. It is
recommended that if the distance between consecutive holes along the
pivot point line is greater than 1m or angle difference is greater than 30
degrees then intermediate positions ( zero depth holes ) are defined.
Intermediate holes can be defined as follows, for example during the test
fan phase:
From edit display select the first hole
Use the insert hole feature to create a new zero depth hole
Drive the boom and drilling module to a suitable intermediate position
Using the store pos feature save the position to the new inserted hole.
No hole depth is given.
