Abstract

A real-time control network that was constructed to provide computer control and monitoring of continuous mining machines is described. The network is composed of a collection of inexpensive microcomputers connected by a single twisted pair cable. Each microcomputer is integrated to provide a particular function in the control process. Machine-mounted microcomputers, in conjunction with the appropriate sensors, provide for closed loop control of the machine, navigation and environmental monitoring. Offboard microcomputers provide remote control and computer-assisted control of the machine and indicate sensor status. Other microcomputers provide a connection to the network so that external computers can access network data and control the continuous mining machine. Different computer systems using various operating systems have been connected to the network, and each has demonstrated complete network functionality. The network has been tested on continuous mining machines at the US Bureau of Mines surface test facility and in an active highwall in West Virginia. The architecture of the distributed network's hardware and software is described.<>

用于自动采矿的微型计算机网络

介绍了为实现连续矿机的计算机控制和监控而构建的实时控制网络。该网络由一组廉价的微型计算机组成，它们通过一根双绞线电缆连接在一起。每台微型计算机集成在一起，在控制过程中提供特定的功能。安装在机器上的微型计算机与适当的传感器一起，提供了对机器、导航和环境监测的闭环控制。船上的微型计算机提供远程控制和计算机辅助控制的机器和指示传感器状态。其他微型计算机提供与网络的连接，以便外部计算机可以访问网络数据并控制连续采矿机。使用各种操作系统的不同计算机系统已经连接到网络，并且每个系统都展示了完整的网络功能。该网络已在美国矿务局地面测试设施的连续采矿机上进行了测试，并在西弗吉尼亚州的一个活跃的高墙上进行了测试。介绍了分布式网络的硬件和软件体系结构。
