SmartROC D65 software v4.8 system description, PMI NR: 9853 1194 01a
Introduction
Introduction
A CAN-bus-based electronic control system was introduced on underground rigs in August 1998.
The system is known as RCS.
This system has since been developed on a number of hydraulically powered underground rigs. Since
2002 the system has also been used surface rigs, in an initial phase on the ROC D7. And since 2008
the system has been implemented on ROC D65s.

Pilot pressure
The pilot pressure is generated in the drilling block (main valve block), feed and boom positioning
block. The pilot pressure generated in the drilling block supplies its directional valves with oil, it also
supplies the tramming blocks directional valves with oil and the directional valves for high-speed
tramming. The pilot pressure generated in the feed/boom positioning blocks supplies their directional
valves with oil.
All settings for pressure and speed can be entered in the display.
The tramming controls are located close to the operator's seat and control the tramming valves in a
proportional manner. (See further description under chapter Pumps and pilot pressure.)

Hydraulic system, general
Hydraulic pumps
Pump 1:
Main pump 1 in the hydraulic system is an axial piston pump that delivers oil to control the pilot
pressure. (Read more under pilot pressure.) The pump delivers hydraulic force to the following
functions:
Feed
Feed positioning
Boom positioning
Tramming
Track oscillation
Rod handling system
Pump 2, 3 and 4:
These gear pumps are combined to a triple pump unit.
Pump 2 supplies oil to the rotation unit, but is also used for pre-heating of hydraulic oil.
Pump 3 supplies oil to the dust collector suction fan motor.
Pump 4 supplies oil to the boom/feed positioning circuits during tramming, also additional oil to
the rotation motor when drilling.
Pump 5 and 6:
Pump 5 drives the cooler motor for he combined hydraulic oil/compressor oil cooler.
Pump 6 drives the cooler motor for engine radiator and intercooler.
7
Hydraulic system, general
The oil cooler cools the hydraulic oil so that the rig can work at full load in ambient temperatures up
to 55C (optional). The cooling fan is driven by a fan motor that is supplied with oil by pump 5. The
pressure to the fan motor is controlled by a proportional pressure relief valve. The control system
regulates the pressure, and thereby the fan speed depending on the cooling demands.
T-Return oil is a collection block that collects return oil from the various circuits and leads this to the
thermostats.
D-Drain oil is a collection block that collects oil from the various circuits and leads this to the return
oil filter.
L-Drain oil is the oil that goes directly to tank for minimum resistance in the circuits.
The filler pump is used to fill the system. There is a check valve that prevents return oil from leaking
out through the filler pump. A level sensor (B143) detects the level of hydraulic oil in the tank. Should
this drop below a certain level, the diesel engine is switched off automatically. The sensor signal from
B143 goes via I/O module D512 and contact X6a.
The temperature sensor (B362) senses the hydraulic oil temperature and the temperature will be
shown on the display. The engine will shut down automatically if the hydraulic oil temperature
exceeds 90C. The sensor signal from B362 goes via I/O module D512 and contact X20.
The drain cock is used to remove water of condensation or to empty the hydraulic oil tank.

Diesel engine
Ignition position
When the ignition key S139 is in the ignition position, contacts 30-50 and 30-75 are closed (see
electrical diagram for further description). Current is supplied to ignition relay K4 as well as ECM via
K200 and K4 to start the ECM and pre-heating. I/O module D512 with contact X11a is then activated,
and the display shows that ignition is ON. When ignition relay K4 is activated, contact K4 is closed
and current is led to contact K5.
Conditions for starting the diesel engine (activating stop solenoid K200):
Emergency stop relay (K132) D512:X5a-high
Ignition key (S139) in ignition position D512:X11a-high

*The compressor temperature condition is only put to use when the engine has been switched off
earlier due to high compressor temperature at either 129C (soft stop) or 130C (emergency stop).
Please refer to Switches and sensors that automatically and manually stop the diesel engine for more
information.
Start position
Wait for 10 seconds before turning the ignition key from ignition position to start position.
When the ignition key S139 is turned to the start position, the diesel engine starts. Release the ignition
key, the key springs back to the running position. If the engine fails to start, check which symbol(s)
are displayed and rectify the fault. Turn the key back to position 0 before trying again.
If the conditions above are fulfilled, I/O module D512 contact X24a is set to high. The current is fed
to start relay K5. When contact K5 closes, the starter motor (M1) is activated.

Diesel engine
Control instrument
The ECM controls and monitors all engine data and the diagnostic information from the diesel
engine's sensors and switches. This information is sent via a gateway to the display in the cab, where
all the necessary engine information is presented. The gateway translates information from J1939 to
CAN open so it can be presented on the display.
Signals are also sent via the I/O modules directly to the display in the cab, where information can be
viewed. (See figure.)
Status bar
Fault indicators
The rig has many monitoring functions that check that all data is relevant and correct. If a problem
arises, signals are sent from the ECM via the gateway or from sensors via the I/O modules.
When a fault related to the engine arises, signals are sent from the ECM via the gateway to the display
in the cab, and information about the sensors is presented in plain text in the engine status window
(see below). Caterpillar's diagnostic codes can also be viewed for respective sensor. When certain
faults arise, a fault window automatically appears on the display. This can be acknowledged by
pressing ESC, and the corresponding warning lamp is lit on the status bar.
Faults that are accompanied by a red warning lamp switch the engine off automatically. If a yellow
indicator light is shown, the engine must be switched off manually. All faults should be carefully
checked and rectified.

Diesel engine
Engine speed
The engine speed can be regulated by manually three buttons, button 8, 19 and 20 (see figure and table
below). The engine starts on 1100 rpm.
During drilling:
By shifting to drilling mode, the engine speed increases to the intermediate speed (1500 rpm). When
any of the drilling functions which include activation of flushing air is activated, the engine speed
increases to the last set value which the system has remembered. This value stays actual even when the
rig is to be restarted. If nothing has been set yet the engine speed increases to the max engine speed
(1800 rpm). The engine speed can be changed by pushing button 19, the engine speed increases with
50 rpm, in the same way the engine speed can be reduced with 50 rpm/push by using button 20.
When none of the drilling functions which include activation of flushing air is activated anymore,
typically when the rod handling system is active, the engine speed automatically lowers itself to the
intermediate speed (1500 rpm). Though this speed can be reduced to the idling speed (1100 rpm) by
pushing button 8, and this value stays actual even when the rig is to be restarted.
During tramming:
The engine speed for tramming can also be set with buttons 19 and 20. The engine speed goes back to
the last set value for tramming every time when shifting back to tramming mode, even when the rig is
to be restarted. If nothing has been set yet the engine speed goes back to the intermediate speed (1500
rpm). When tramming is directly activated after engine start, the engine speed can be increased to the
last set value by using button 19, otherwise the rig trams at the idling speed (1100 rpm).
Signals are first sent through CAN lower net to the display, from here they are send through CAN
upper net to the gateway. The gateway convert CAN open language to J1939 so that ECM can receive.
CAN message includes information on the currently desired speed. When drilling the engine speed is
controlled by the drill lever.

Compressor
Compressor
General
The on board compressor is a double stage, oil-injected screw compressor. The normal working
pressure for ROC D65s has been set to 30 bar, which also is the maximum pressure. The maximum
free air delivery (FAD) for ROC D65s is 470 l/sec at 30 bar working pressure with 20C ambient
temperature.
Compressor element
The compressor element contains two rotors, one female and one male rotor, mounted on roller as well
as ball bearings. The female rotor is driven by the diesel engine, and powers the male rotor. The rotors
are lubricated by oil, injected and mixed with the air. This also increases the efficiency as the oil seals
between the rotor-tips and housing. The compressor elements for ROC D65s are of Atlas Copco type
OIS N-02 and OIS J-33. The gear ratio is 2.195.
Air flow
Intake air is drawn in through the air filter and the inlet valve to the compressor element. The air is
mixed with injected oil and after compression is passed through the check valve into the air receiver.
The check valve prevents back-flow of compressed air when the compressor is stopped. In the air
receiver, most of the oil is removed from the air/oil mixture by the oil separator. The flow of
compressed air then passes through the minimum pressure valve out into the drill rigs air system. The
minimum pressure valve prevents the pressure in the air receiver to drop below the minimum working
pressure of the compressor before the air is released, in order to ensure proper function of the oil
system.
Atmospheric pressure
Air/Oil mix
Oil
18
Compressor
Note: A thermostatic valve bypasses the oil cooler when the oil is below 80 C, refer to paragraph
Cooling principle in chapter Cooling fans for more information on how cooling is controlled.
Regulator system
The compressor control system contains two regulating valves. These valves serve to adapt the volume
of air supplied by the compressor to the air consumption, while simultaneously maintaining the
working pressure within the limits.
The control system also includes a load solenoid Y210A and a high/low pressure solenoid 5
valve Y210B. Y210A is activated by button 5 on the right hand control panel. Pressure
switch B456 prevents the engine to start if there is more than 1 bar in the air receiver before
starting the engine; the same pressure switch also prevents the compressor to load below 4
bar. To start the compressor, the engine speed must reach at least 1300 rpm to allow
compressor loading. Solenoid valve Y210B is activated when the drill lever is in high impact position.
For more information about the control system and compressor problem solving, please refer to the
Maintenance Instructions.
The compressor has also 2 temperature indicator-switches, B366A and B366B, which automatically
generate a warning on the display if the compressor temperature has reached +127C, and cuts the
diesel engine if the compressor temperature has reached +129C or +130C.

Pumps and pilot pressure
To feed/tram
It is an axial piston pump with a variable displacement. The
LS pressure
pump is pressure compensated, which means that the pressure is
Returning
maintained constant irrespective of the flow. The pump pressure
can be controlled by pressure control valve 4d located in the
main valve block.
In order to avoid start the diesel engine with pump 1 pressurized, the rig must be in the Tramming
mode when starting. In this mode, pump 1 runs at standby pressure, 23 bar.
21
Pumps and pilot pressure
Pump 2, 3 and 4
Pumps 2, 3 and 4 are combined to a triple gear pump, mounted on pump 1.
As mentioned earlier, pump 2 is used for supplying oil to the rotation unit, as well as pre-heating of
hydraulic oil. During drilling, the maximum pressure of pump 2 is set by pressure relief valves in the
drill rotation circuit. Pump 2 is loaded at 11 bar when starting the engine.
Refer to chapter Oil pre-heating for information on pressure setting for pump 2 during pre-heating.
The pressure of pump 3 can be set by a variable pressure relief valve in the DCT valve block. Pump 3
is unloaded at engine start-up, the oil goes directly to the tank through the inactivated solenoid valve
Y250 when the rig is in tramming mode.
The pressure of pump 4 is controlled by solenoid valve Y121B, which is first activated a few seconds
after the engine has started. The pressure of pump 4 is then set by a fixed pressure relief valve set to
230 bar in the main valve block when the rig is in tramming mode.
During drilling, the flow from pump 4 is directed by the un-activated Y121B to merge with the flow
from pump 2. The maximum pressure for pump 4 in this case is set by pressure relief valves in the
drill rotation unit as well.
Pump 5 and 6
Pumps 5 and 6 are gear pumps and driven by an extra power take off on the side of the diesel engine.
The pump pressure is set by an electro proportional relief valve mounted in each cooler fan motor.
These pumps are loaded 15 seconds after engine start.
Refer to chapter Cooling fans to see how to check the maximum pressure of pump 5 & 6.
22
Pumps and pilot pressure
Pilot pressure
Pilot pressure is supplied by pump 1 and generated in the main valve block by pressure reducing valve
4b set to 35 bar, and then out to the pilot circuits. A pressure relief valve set to 45 bar secures the pilot
pressure if the seals on valve 4b break.
Solenoid valve Y169 control whether the pilot pressure goes to the drilling circuit or to the tramming
circuit. Solenoid valve Y169 is activated when the rig is in tramming mode and deactivated when the
rig is in drilling mode.

The rig is equipped with two standard fan drives which are supplied by pump 5 & 6, one for cooling
the compressor/hydraulic oil, and the other one for cooling the engine water/air inlet. High ambient
temperature fan drive for warmer environment is available as an option.
Cooling principle
The Vaportec system is used for controlling the compressor temperature in order to minimize
condensation in the compressor system. The system works differently depends on whether the
compressor is loaded or not.
E.g. when the ambient temperature is higher than 30C, the cooling fan strives to keep the
compressor temperature to be between 110C-120C. Prior to 110C, valve Y504 is set at 510
mA. Between 110C to 120C, the setting of valve Y504 varies proportionally according to the
graph above. When the temperature has reached 120C, valve Y504 is set at 0mA to allow full
rpm.
24
Cooling fans
But if the hydraulic oil temperature at any point exceeds 70C, the control of cooling is taken over
by the hydraulic oil temperature. At 70C, valve Y504 is set at 510mA. Then the regulation is
proportional until the temperature reaches 75C. At 75C, valve Y504 is set at 0mA to allow full
rpm.
The cooling fan for engine water/ATAC (controlled by valve Y501) is on minimum rpm until the any
of the temperature has reached 85C, then the regulation starts according to the graph above, full rpm
is reached when any of the temperature has reached 95C.
This can be done by disabling the fan control option in menu F2 Settings 2.

Tramming
Activation of Y121A:
- It allows pump 1 pressure to connect to pressure compensator 4p and 4r in the main valve
block, 4p and 4r also have the functions of dividing the oil flow equally. The tramming
pressure is limited by pressure relief valve 4d set to 230 bar.
Activation of Y121B:
- The oil pressure from pump 4 is limited by pressure relief valve 4c set to 230 bar, the pressure
is then delivered to positioning functions (see illustration in chapter Positioning).
The tramming direction and speed are controlled by means of pilot pressure controlling the
proportional directional valves, 4q and 4s. And these directional valves are controlled by solenoid
valves Y206A, Y206B, Y207A and Y207B. The pilot pressure changes the directional valves position
proportionally and pump 1 supplies the tramming motors hydraulic circuits with oil and pressure.

Tramming
The output range of the proportional electrical pilot valves for tramming can be adjusted in the menu
Rig/Parameters/Tramming, thus varying the tramming speed. The output range lies between
330mA 530mA.
The valve block included in the tramming motor 66 contains a pilot operated directional valve 66b and
a pressure reducing valve 66c for releasing the tramming brake when the motor is pressurized. To
prevent the motors from increasing speed when tramming down a slope, the over centre valve 66d
serves as hydraulic brakes by means of creating counter pressure in the motor return line when the
pressure in the motor pressure line drops.

Reverse warning
Conditions:
Tramming levers in back position I/O- D512X9b H185, H186 activated
When the rig is reversing, a signal is automatically sent via the I/O module that activates a warning
siren and a flashing beacon. These warn that the rig is moving backwards.
When tramming high speed is selected with button 10, solenoid valve Y122 is activated. Pilot pressure
is then led to directional valve 66f in each traction motor. This connects system pressure to the traction
motors displacement device, which reduces the motor displacement and results in increase of traction
motor speed.
When double pushing button 15, the jack retracts itself automatically.
The speed of the cylinder is controlled by whether the operator has selected tramming or drilling.
(Tramming = normal peed, Drilling = rapid.)
29
Positioning
Positioning
The positioning circuit is mainly supplied with oil from pump 1. However, since the tramming circuit
is also supplied from pump 1, it is necessary to use pump 4 for positioning during tramming. Since
pump 1 is bigger and operates at higher pressure than pump 4, it means that positioning is quicker in
Drilling mode than it is in Tramming mode.
The boom lift (BL) and feed dump (FD) cylinders are equipped with internal over-center valves,
which protect the cylinders from over load and acts as load holding valves. The feed swing (FS), feed
extension (FE) and boom swing (BS) cylinders have built in double pilot operated check valves.
There is a sensor (B379) in the seat that senses whether the operators seat is occupied. The RHS and
positioning functions will not work if this sensor is not activated. The sensor sends signals via I/O
module D512 and contact X12a out to the system. This function can be bypassed by activating option
Ignore Chair Switch in menu F2

when positioning the feed above
the canopy.

Oil pre-heating
Oil pre-heating
Pump 2 is also used for pre-heating the hydraulic oil when the rig is in Tramming mode. Normal
operating temperature of the hydraulic oil is 40C. Before operating the drill rig the oil should be pre-
heated to minimum operating temperature, 20C.

I/O module D101 and contact X4.
The feed circuit includes functions for feeding the cradle up and down the feed beam, and for stopping
the rock drill in the right position for the rod handling system to insert/remove a drill tube. The feed
circuit is supplied with oil by pump 1.
Valve Y104B (drill feed forward) and Y104A (drill feed backward) control the directional valve in the
drill feed block (see figure). The feed pressure is controlled by valve Y103. Depending on the
direction of feed, pressure relief valves are activated to limit the max. pressure for forward and reverse
feed respectively. The max. pressure for feed forward is 190 bar and 150 bar for feed backward. If
these valves should for some reason fail to work, the safety valve determines the maximum pressure.
The maximum pressure is then 210 bar for feed forward and 175 bar for feed backward.

Rapid feed,
The feed circuit includes functions for feeding the cradle up and down the feed beam, backward
and for stopping the rock drill in the right position for the rod handling system to
insert/remove a drill tube. The feed circuit is supplied with oil by pump 1.
When the lever is moved between 65-100% in feed forward position or 55-100% in feed backward
position, both drill feed and rapid feed solenoid valves are activated at the same time, allowing oil
flow to the feed cylinder from two directional valves (4f and 4j).
Valve Y104C (rapid feed backward) and Y104D (rapid feed forward) control the directional valve in
the drill feed block (see figure). Depending on the direction of feed, pressure relief valves are activated
to limit the max. pressure for forward and reverse feed respectively. The max. pressure for feed
forward is 190 bar and 150 bar for feed backward. If these valves should for some reason fail to work,
the safety valve determines the maximum pressure. The maximum pressure is then 210 bar for feed
forward and 175 bar for feed backward.
Since valve Y104A and Y104B are also activated during rapid feed, the feed pressure control valve
Y103 is set to 1000mA which basically blocks all the oil flow. The feed pressure is then limited by the
two pressure relief valves for forward and reverse feed respectively.

Threading
The threading function is the combined activation of the feed cylinder and drill rotation motor by one
lever movement. The hydraulic power to the feed function is provided by pump 1 and to the rotation
function by pump 2 with assistance from pump 4.
The actuation signal for rotation (Y102) goes via I/O module D101 and contact X9. The sensor (B101)
senses the rotation pressure and sends signals to the display in the cab via I/O module D101 and

Feed forward is controlled by valve Y104B and feed backward by valve Y104A. Rotation CW is
controlled by Y102B and rotation CCW by Y102A. The threading function is a combination of these.
The feed pressure for threading is controlled by Y103, and the rotation pressure for threading is
controlled by Y155.
The feed pressure and speed for threading, as well as the rotation speed for threading can all be set
from menu RHS/Parameters/Threading. The rotation pressure for threading can be set from menu
RHS/Auto RHS Parameters/Rotation. (See figures below)
41
Drilling
Now the rod is backed up to the M5 position (Fig. 3) which allows the rod to be moved back to the
carousel. But before this is to happen, the system needs to make sure that the adapter is indeed carrying
a rod. This check is done by threading the adapter into the rod again using parameter 1 (max rotation
pressure adapter rod) until it reaches a threshold value defined by parameter 3, then unthreading will
take place to thread apart the adapter from the rod in the grippers. If the adapter end is empty, i.e.
threshold not reached, the rotation unit will keep on threading until it reaches a position that is slightly
lower than M4 if nothing is detected.
It should be noticed that parameter 3 and 4 should always be set to be 4-5 bar lower than their
corresponding parameter 1 and 2. The reason is that settings 3 and 4 could never be reached if the
maximum rotation pressure setting 1 and 2 is set to be lower.

Description
This sector can only be reached from the sectors for rotation, and drilling. The sector is a combined
collaring and drilling sector enabling drilling with temporarily reduced percussion force, e.g. when
drilling through difficult formations where there is a tendency of jamming, to prevent drill bit clogging or
to make sure of the hole direction with the 1st drill rod in poor rock.
If the lever is moved quickly through the sector for collaring to the drilling sector when the One Hole
Automatics (OHA) function is activated, collaring is provided (low feed pressure (Y103) and low air
pressure (Y116)) for a distance of Initial collar length, thereafter the drilling sector conditions apply. This
distance setting is only used for the 1st drill rod and that the hole length/depth has been reset. Otherwise
from the 2nd drill rod and on, collaring is provided for the duration of Min collaring time when the OHA
function is activated, thereafter the drilling sector conditions apply.
Function lock
The function can be locked with lever button Z1 when the lever is situated in the collaring sector (10-

Anti-jamming protection
Anti-jamming protection
General
The anti-jamming protection is an automatic monitoring function that must always be active during
drilling. The anti-jamming protection is activated by high rotation pressure (B101).
If the rotation pressure exceeds a preset value Rotation pressure, jamming, the cradle is moved
backward until the rotation pressure falls below Rotation pressure, jamming Pressure decrease, free.
When drilling is restarted after jamming, collaring is to be initiated before ramping up to full drilling.
The anti-jamming function is activated at all locked drilling.
Function
When the anti-jamming protection is activated, the cradle must always reverses for at least 1 second,
and the following conditions apply while reversing. If the drilling does not un-jam within 8 seconds,
all drilling functions will stop (conditions as the neutral sector).
Condition:
Compressor : Loaded
RHS arm in carousel (B118) : Activated
Cradle encoder : Calibrated
Hydraulic oil temp and filter : Ok
Actuations:
Impact air : High air
Feed pressure : Fixed at 1000mA
Drill feed speed : Speed drilling, backward
Rapid feed speed : Off
Rotation speed : Rotation speed, drilling
Engine speed : High
Recovery
When the jamming conditions cease, the following occurs, depending on the drill sector that is active:
Drilling sector
Collaring is started. Collaring feed pressure (Y103) and low impact air (Y116) will be activated
for 6 seconds followed by the conditions for the drilling sector.

Air system
Air system
Air system general
Compressed air is used for the following rig functions besides percussion:
Flushing air: Used to transport cuttings from the hole up to the surface. Reduced flushing is
primarily used during collaring and drilling in porous or poor rock to prevent the air from
damaging the walls of the hole.
Extra air-outlet
The HECL-pump can be activated manually from the menu system. If Activate HECL-pump manually
is selected in quick menu F2, the HECL-pump starts pumping with pulse at the set frequency for the
set time (max. 90 min).
The pressure after the HECL-pump is monitored during drilling by a pressure sensor (B369). If the
pressure, after the period Time before HECL Guarding, is less than Min HECL pressure and lasts for a
longer period than Timeout HECL pressure, drilling is stopped. A warning message is displayed.
Lever sensor (B380) monitors the oil lever in the HECL tank, a warning message is displayed when
low level occurs.
CAN
The actuation signal for the HECL-pump (Y165) goes via I/O module D512 and contact X14a. Sensor
(B369) senses the HECL pressure and sends signals to the display in the cab via I/O module D512 and
contact X21, where this value can be read in menu F1. Sensor (B380) senses the oil level and sends
signals to the display in the cab via I/O module D512 and contact X18a, in case of low level, the
signal becomes low.
53
Air system
DCT On
Conditions:
The rig must be in drilling mode.
DCT on button 12 activated.
Drill lever in sector Collaring or Drilling. 12
The button is a toggle switch: DCT ON/DCT OFF. If the function DCT ON is chosen, the
valve for DCT hatch (Y253) gets activated when the above conditions are met.
The length of each cleaning pulse is set by Time Clean Pulse, and the time between each pulse is set
by Pause time. The DCT pulse settings can be found in menu Drilling/DCT/Parameters.
54
Air system
The air supply to the DCT is limited to 7 bar by a pressure reducing valve and protected by an 8.5 bar
safety valve. All of the cleaning valves (Y251A, Y251B, Y251C and Y251D) get activated
simultaneously for Number of After Clean Pulses times with Pause time seconds pause between the
pulses. The after-cleaning will be interrupted if drilling is to start before the after-cleaning is done.

Calibration sensors
Calibration sensors
The feed beam has two calibration sensors. The upper sensor
(B127) calibrates the position of the rotation unit cradle at
startup. The lower sensor (B122), along with the upper sensor,
read off the position of the rotation unit cradle during drilling.
These sensors have constant fixed values and can only be
calibrated in the downward direction with an adequately low
speed (the maximum speed is 10 cm/s). Should these values B172
deviate during drilling, the system automatically sets the fixed
value when the cradle is in these positions. This is to prevent
deviation from becoming too large. If the deviation is greater
than 2 cm, this is entered into the event log. And if the Calibration sensor
B127
deviation increases to 5 cm, a warning symbol is shown on the
display.
CAN
Sensor B172 senses where on the feed beam the rotation unit
cradle is. It sends pulse signals to I/O module D103 and
contact X5 to the display in the cab. B127 and B122 send
signals via I/O module D103 contact X12 and I/O module
D102 contact X7 respectively.
Calibration sensor
The menu below shows cradle position on the feed beam and B122
the distance to the upper and lower calibration sensors. This
menu can be found in RHS/Sensors/Calibration.
56
Length measurement
Length measurement
Data from pulse sensor B172 (see previous chapter) is processed to measure hole length/depth, with a
stop signal for drilling sent when the set length/depth is reached. The number of drilled metres is
logged. The average drill rate/percussion minutes is also shown in the menu system. The hole
length/depth can be reset from the menu system, press the button on the display or the keypad on the
arm rest.
System startup
The pulse sensor B172 (see figure under chapter Calibration sensors) is uncalibrated at startup. The
current hole depth is stored so that the system can be restarted with the drill bit in the same position as
when the system was stopped.
Before initiating calibration, the cradle must be moved to a position which is approximately 10 cm
above sensor B127. However, backing up would not work if the drill supports are not manually
opened since the hammer needs to pass through them. This can be done by moving lever 36 (see
illustration on next page) backwards to first open the upper support, then hold the lever in position and
push the top button to open the lower support.
Start of measurement
The hole depth meter starts to run when the already reached hole length/depth is reset. If the hole
depth counter has been blocked, it is restarted when the lower break out table is opened.
Blocking measurement
The hole depth counter can be stopped during the rod adding phase. It is stopped when the drill lever is
activated for unthreading. The desired hole depth/length can be changed at any point during the
drilling phase.
Backing up
The hole depth/length is locked while the cradle backs up. The system displays the position of the drill
bit.
57
RHS, Rod handling system
Left control lever (lever 35) Right control lever (lever 36)
There is a sensor (B379) in the seat that senses whether the operators seat is occupied. The RHS and
positioning functions will not work if this sensor is not activated. The sensor sends signals via I/O
module D512 and contact X12a
out to the system. This function
can be bypassed by activating
option Ignore Chair Switch in
menu F2 Setting 1.
System pressure
The hydraulic power is supplied from pump 1 and is limited to 200 bar by a pressure reducing valve.
Some functions have individual pressure reducers to further limit the pressure. (See hydraulic
diagram)
58
RHS, Rod handling system
During normal drilling, the system automatically detects the operating mode
11 12 19 20
of the lever in order to make the RHS process simpler for the operator. This
is done by enabling the automatic switching option in menu F2 Settings 2. 13 14 21 22
(See figure below) 15 16 23 24
17 18 25
When this option is enabled, the lamp on button 3 is automatically indicates
the operating mode according to the following conditions:
Condition: Mode:
drill lever in Drilling sector Drill steel support active
semi-auto breaking activated Break out jaws active
(lever 36 to the right with top button pushed)
3
Drill steel
support mode
59
RHS, Rod handling system
The break out wrench is controlled by lever 36 independent of the lever mode when moving the lever
to the right with the top button pushed. The actuation signal for the break out wrench (Y352) goes via
I/O module D103 and contact X14. The cylinder speed is limited by two flow restrictors.
This is typically used when the adapter and the drill tube tension
become over tightened during drilling and the separation
between the adapter and the drill tube becomes difficult at
the M5 position. With this option activated, unthreading
(anticlockwise rotation) with the drill lever and break out
wrench clockwise with lever 36, should be activated at the same time. In other words, instead of
having only the rod grippers holding the tube, the tube needs to be fed into the upper break out claws,
so that the upper break out claws can assist the separation by turning the tube in the opposite direction.
This will lead to that less torque is needed to unthread the adapter from the tube.
Carousel rotation
Conditions for carousel rotation:
The rod gripper arms must be in drill center position or in the middle position, i.e. sensor
B120 or B119 activated.
Carousel rotation is controlled by valves Y303A and B. Valve Y303A controls rotation clockwise and
valve Y303B rotation anticlockwise. Two throttle valves limit rotation speed. The actuation signal for
rotation goes via I/O module D102 and contact X6. Sensors detects whether rotation is clockwise or
anticlockwise. Sensor B183 detects anticlockwise rotation and sends signals via I/O module D102 and
contact X11b to the display in the cab. Sensor B182 detects clockwise rotation and sends signals via
I/O module D102 and contact X11a.
60
RHS, Rod handling system
Sensors (B118, B119 and B120) detect where the RHS arm is situated at. Sensor B118 senses whether
the arm is in the carousel and sends the signal via I/O module D102 and contact X17a; sensor B119
senses whether the arm is in the middle position and sends the signal via I/O module D102 and contact
18a; sensor B120 senses whether the arm is in the drill center and sends the signal via I/O module
D102 and contact X17b.
When sensor B119 is activated, the arm transfer is then stopped for approx. 3 seconds, where during
the time gripper rotation will take place. The gripper rotation is controlled by solenoid valves Y311A
and Y311B. Y311A rotates the gripper from facing the drill center to facing the carousel, and Y311B
reverses the rotation. There are two throttle vales that control the cylinder speed. The actuation signal
for gripper rotation goes via I/O module D103 and contact X16.

Rod grippers
The gripper claws are controlled by valves Y300 and Y306, which are controlled with the lever 35 on
the left control panel. (See figure of drill levers)
Loose grip
Conditions for loose grip:
RHS arm in drill center position (sensor B120 activated)
RHS lever 35 moved back to neutral position.
When transferring a tube to the drill center, as soon as the drill center position is reached and RHS
lever 35 is moved back to the neutral position, the gripper status switches from tight grip to loose grip
automatically. Loose grip is controlled by valve Y306 and a pressure relief valve that limits the
pressure to 10 bar. The actuation signal for loose grip goes via I/O module D102 and contact X24a.
Tight grip
Tight grip is the normal state of the grippers. None of the solenoid valves are activated which results
in that the system pressure at 200 bar, is acting to keep the grippers closed. To switch from loose grip
to tight grip while the rod grippers are in the drill center, hold RHS lever 35 in backward position.
Suction hood
Solenoid vales Y357A and Y357B raise and lower the suction hood. A pressure reducing valve limits
the maximum pressure to 40 bar for suction hood down. The output signal goes via I/O module D103
and contact X7.

One hole automatics (OHA)
Stop of OHA
The auto-sequence can be stopped with one of the drill lever buttons or with the OHA button.
Restart of OHA
If OHA stops or is stopped during drilling, it can be restarted and the auto-sequence continues from
where it was stopped. But if the auto-sequence was stopped when adding or extracting a tube, the
operator must manually ensure that both thread joints are together, that the RHS arms are in the
carousel and that the break out claws are opened before OHA can be started again.
65
One hole automatics (OHA)
Options
There are a few options that can be selected in menu F2 Setting 1 when using OHA.
Extra flushing:
During the drill out sequence the air flushing can be on for extra period of time, set by Extra flushing,
time via menu Drilling/Parameters/Timers.
Cleaning:
If cleaning is active, extra flushing is then disabled. When the drill out pressure is reached the
following sequence is to take place in order to clean the hole:
1. Rotation and high air is on during the sequence. Water mist is not active here.
2. The cradle is moved backward with slow feed speed to M3.
3. When M3 is reached the cradle is moved backward with fast feed speed.
4. When M6 is reached the cradle is moved forward to M3 with fast speed.
5. When M3 is reached the cradle is moved forward to M2 with slow speed.
66
One hole automatics (OHA)
When this option is active, the OHA automatically extracts the rods to M4 position. However, this
setting does not apply when extracting the last rod, otherwise the hammer might collide with the drill
steel support. Therefore it is possible to change the M4 position for the last rod by setting the M4 offset
via menu Drilling/Parameters/Others.
If the options rotation and air flushing are selected, these functions will be turned off as soon as M4
position is reached.
Note: When extracting the last rod and if air flushing is selected, air flushing needs to be stopped
earlier than all the other rods since flushing around the hole would lead to damage of the hole.
Therefore it is possible to change the stopping position for the last rod by setting the Distance from M4
for air off via menu Drilling/Parameters/Others.
System error Internal error in the RCS, system, e.g. corrupt memory or general
hardware problem, i.e. mechanic, electric, electrical or hydraulic.
Setting error The rig is not set correctly. An invalid, corrupt and faulty
parameter file read.

One hole automatics (OHA)
Text on display: AutoRhs Error: Arms moved to drill center (risk for collision with cradle)
Error classification: System error
Description/Cause or error:
One of the sensors B119 or B120 indicates that the RHS arms are situated in the drill center or that
they are on the way there, at a time point where the arms are not supposed to be there. Probably due to
a sensor failure.
68
One hole automatics (OHA)
Text on display: AutoRhs Error: Rotation pressure threshold exceeded at unexpected cradle
position
Error classification: System error/Setting error
Description/Cause or error:
During threading the system checks at which position the threading pressure increases. When
threading together the joints of two tubes, it is expected that the rotation pressure would increase when
approaching position M4. When threading together the joints of the adapter and the tube during
extraction, it is expected that the rotation pressure should increase when approaching position M2. If
during threading the rotation pressure increases even though the cradle is far away from the position
expected, then this error is reported.
Text on display: AutoRhs Error: Cradle has reached M4 and no threading pressure is detected,
when rethreading (after unthreading failure)
Error classification: System error/Setting error
Description/Cause or error:
If the system discovers that a wrong joint has been unthreaded (adapter tube instead of tube tube),
then it will re-thread the joints back in together and try again. If the system during the re-threading
process (adapter tube) passes M4 with a too long distance without that the rotation pressure has
increased, then this error is displayed.

I/O Module, CAN bus
I/O modules
The I/O module is an Input/Output module (I/O = Input/Output) and its purpose is to steer out valves
etc. (output) and receive signals from sensors (input).
All inputs are converted in the I/O module to different CAN messages (computer messages) and are
then handled by the CAN system. And the outputs are converted from CAN messages (computer
messages), that are coming from the CAN system, to for example a digital output.
All connections except analogue in/power supply/CAN and address, are controlled by the software. In
other words the software decides how each connection is configured, e.g. digital out, digital in, PWM
and encoder in.

adding water to the flushing air. The system is located at the back of the rig. In general, a small
amount of water is used to wet the drill cuttings and bind these into larger particles to reduce dust, or
to bind the dust to the hole walls to stabilize the hole.
The amount of water is controlled by the two directional valves and an adjustable 1
damper as follows:
Reduced/auto water mist is activated by button 1. Valve Y112A is activated and
Y112B is deactivated, the amount of water is controlled by an adjustable valve
located in the cab. 6
Full water mist is activated by both button 6, and the full flow will only last for
as long as button 6 is depressed. Full water mist is used only for short intervals
to flush water onto dry clay to build sludge that can be used for stabilizing the
hole. Both valves Y112A and Y112B are activated.
When none of the buttons are activated, the water mist option is OFF. Both
valves Y112A and Y112B are deactivated.
Note: To avoid the suction hoses and dust collector filter clogging during the use of the watermist system,
DCT should be switched off if the dust is very wet or water spurts out the hole.
Level sensor B457 deactivates valve Y112D if the water level is too low after a delay of 2 seconds, i.e.
the sensor must remain deactivated for 2 seconds to stop the water pump. This delay is needed so the
system can make sure that low lever is not caused by
tramming on uneven grounds. This warning is indicated by
a yellow lamp on the status bar on the bottom of the display.

Laser sensor
Laser sensor (B316) on the rock drill cradle sends in data signals via I/O module D103 and contact
X18 which are processed by the display for showing the correct hole length/hole depth information as
per preview.
The laser sensor is most often used in undulating terrain to maintain as level a hole bottom as possible
for blasting.
Laser level
4m
Hole bottom
Ex:
A rotary laser is placed at the highest point in the area. From here, the depth to hole bottom is
measured (in this case 10 m). When the rotary laser hits the sensor (B316) on the rock drill cradle, the
length between the sensor and drill bit (in this case 4 m) is automatically shown on the display,
irrespective of how many metres have been drilled. This is done every time the hole depth is reset. In
this case, we know that there are 6 metres left to hole bottom (10-4=6 m).
The settings for the laser sensor function can be found in the F2 menu. The function is activated by
checking the option for Laser Plane. The distance between laser sensor and the drill bit as mentioned
above can be entered in the box for Dist. Laser Sens. to Drill Bit.
If the rig has been moved to a lower drill plane where the laser sensor also has to be moved to a lower
level. The operator can just enter the height difference between the original laser plane and the
lowered laser plane, without having to change the desired drill depth. This can be entered in the box
for Dist. To Ref. Laser Plane.

In order to keep the injector from clogging and to avoid unnecessary smearing of things other than the
drill steel threads, air spraying is kept on for a longer period both before and after the grease is
pumped out. When functioning, valve Y552B for air spray is set to start 0.5 seconds before valve
Y552A for grease pump. Valve Y552A is then activated for 1 second to run the pump. To finish the
cycle, valve Y552B is set to stop 0.5 seconds after valve Y552A has been deactivated.
Valve Y552A and Y552B can be activated automatically or manually by Spray greasing,
using the buttons on the right control panel. automatic
Automatic Spraying
When automatic spray mode is activated then any of the following two events would trigger a spray
cycle, grease is then applied to the threads of the rod that is being held by the break out claws.
When the RHS arms reaches drill center (B120 active) with the rod grippers in hard grip.
When the RHS arms, moving from drill center towards the carousel, reaches the middle
position (B119 active) with the rod grippers in hard grip.
The system has no way of knowing whether there really is a rod in the grippers but it is assumed that
there is always a rod in the grippers when they are set to hard grip.
Automatic spraying is always activated when the rig is switched to drilling mode. If the operator for
some reason does not want automatic spraying then the button must be deactivated.
Manual spraying
A spray cycle is started as soon as the button for manual spraying is being pressed. The button can be
released immediately and the spray cycle will still continue until it is completed. If the button is still
held down when the spray cycle is completed then a new spray cycle will be started immediately. This
makes it easy to apply as much grease as needed by simply holding down the manual button until one
is satisfied.

The following features are specially designed for rigs in Australia, and they can be accessed via menu
System/Configure/AUS options.
Needless to say this function does not interfere with the emergency stop, if the emergency stop is
activated then the engine will still be stopped immediately.
Note: Re-connection in the electrical circuit needs to be carried out in order to control the ignition
relay K4 differently.
Tramming isolator
This feature ensures that tramming is safely blocked away in circumstances where the engine still
needs to be running, typically during rig service. This is done by having a switch (S281) that can be
locked (e.g. with a padlock) somewhere on the rig. As long as this switch is activated the tramming
valves Y206 and Y207 remain inactivated. Everything besides these valves shall continue to work as
usual.
The isolator switch is connected to I/O module D512, X12b. Negative logic is applied here, so if the
option is chosen on the display, a constant 24V input signal is required at the I/O input to enable
tramming. If the isolator switched is turned on, the input signal to the I/O module disappears and
tramming is not longer possible. In this way the isolating function would not be affected by a broken
wire.

Blocking rules:
- Alt 1: The length sensor B172 is not calibrated
- Alt 2: The cradle is below a certain position - Cradle Position Threshold
- Alt 3: There are more than one rod on left on the adapter
If any of the above is true:
- Rod(s) is still in the hole, tramming is blocked by this feature, i.e. tramming valves Y206 and Y207
remain inactivated.
It is however important to make sure that the rig does not get stranded somewhere because the
length sensor breaks; or the cradle get stuck somewhere down on the feeder; or the drill rod counter
fails to count down when a rod is removed from the adapter. Disabling the Rod in Hole Lockout
function via the menu is obviously the easiest solution to someone who has the AC level password.
There are however other ways of dealing with the above problems:
A timer (set through the display) starts when the chair switch indicates that the operator has left the
chair. If the timer expires then the rig is deallocated and the output signals to control valves Y121A,
Y121B and Y169 are set to high.
Just as with the previous feature there should be a way of preventing a broken switch from
immobilizing the rig. This can be solved by making it possible to for someone with an AC level
password to turn the feature on and off.

Australia options
The switch is connected to I/O module D512, X6b. The switch can only be enabled when the rig is not
allocated (this will happen automatically when the operator leaves the chair, see previous paragraph).
Auxiliary Output
Other arbitrary device can be connected to a digital output, I/O module D511, X11. The digital output
is activated by pushing the spare button on the left OP panel overlay, and deactivated by pushing the
same button once again.
The auxiliary output can only be activated when the operator panel is allocated, i.e. the engine is
started. The load must not exceed 2A.
