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.

Hydraulic system, general


General
The hydraulic system of the ROC D65s is controlled by means of pilot pressure. The system
comprises 6 pumps. Hydraulic pump 1, 2, 3 and 4 are in-line assembled and direct driven by the diesel
engine over a flexible coupling. The hydraulic pumps 5 and 6 are combined to a double pump with
common suction line. They are driven by the diesel engineers extra power-take-off.

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.

Hydraulic system, general

Return oil and oil cooler


The hydraulic oil tank has a capacity of 380 litres, which means there is most often a reserve in the
oil tank. There are two return-/drain oil filters that filter the hydraulic oil returning from the return-
and drain circuits and oil used to fill the system. There is also a breather filter that prevents
contaminated air entering the tank when the level of hydraulic oil fluctuates. The thermostats ensure
that the oil flows through the oil cooler when the temperature is above 40C and directly to the tank
when the temperature is below 40C. The by-pass valve protects the oil cooler from exposing to high
pressure.

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.

Electrical system, general


General
ROC D65s has a 24 volt electrical system for monitors and fault diagnosis. Electrical power is also
used to control a number of hydraulic valves and compressed air valves. The structure of the electrical
system is illustrated in a block diagram.

Battery and charging


The power source for starting the engine is two 12 V/185 Ah batteries that are connected in series.
These are charged by a 3 phase A/C alternator. The batteries are connected to the system via a manual
battery switch.

Main fuse
The feed to the electrical cabinet is fused by two 60 A main fuses (F300, F301).

Electrical cabinet, ECM and gateway

The electrical cabinet contains 20 fuses


that limit the intensity to the various
subcircuits, and numerous relays for the
Gateway
rig's electrical functions. (Transformer)
The electronic control module (ECM) ECM
monitors the engine's functions and
sensors. The engine's ECM stops the
engine automatically is certain faults arise
- faults that can cause secondary damage
to the engine, such as low oil pressure or Electrical Cabinet
low coolant level.
Fuses Relays

information from the engine's ECM. It F3 F31
converts J1939 to CAN open language, F4 F34

also converts information to the ECM
from CAN open language to J1939, i.e.
engine speed.

Batteries

What is J1939?
SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) J1939 is the vehicle bus standard used for
communication and diagnostics among vehicle components, originally by the car and heavy
duty truck industry in the United States.1

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.

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.

Compressor

Cooling and oil systems


Oil is used for lubrication, sealing, cooling and is boosted by air pressure, there is no oil pump. The
lower part of the air receiver serves as oil tank. Air pressure forces the oil from the air receiver through
the oil cooler, oil filter and the oil stop valve to the different injection points of the compressor
element. The air/oil mixture then leaves the compressor element and re-enters the air receiver, where
the oil is separated from the air by centrifugal or cyclone forces and the oil separator element. Oil that
is collected in the bottom of the oil separator is returned to the oil system by way of the scavenge line
and flow restrictor. The oil stop valve prevents the compressor element from flooding with oil when
the unit is stopped.

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.

Instrument and fault indication


The compressor air pressure delivered to the hammer (detected by B188) can be read in the F1 menu.
The compressor air pressure at the air receiver (detected by B456) can be read both in the F1 menu
and on the pressure gauge next to the compressor regulator.

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.

Emergency mode B456


It is always difficult to predict which sensor might fail during operation. In order to make sure that the
operator can still have full control of the rig if the vessel pressure sensor B456 fails, the following
option can be chosen in menu F2 Settings 1 in order to start the engine and load the compressor. In
this case, the rig would act as if this sensor never existed.

Pumps and pilot pressure

Pumps and pilot pressure


Pump 1
Pump 1 is the main pump in the hydraulic system of ROC D65s.

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.

Pressure control valve


During tramming, pump 1 is working in load sensing mode,
which means that the pump pressure depends on the load on the
tramming motors. The maximum pressure of pump 1 can be 4d
adjusted by pressure relief valve 4d.
During drilling, pump 1 operates on constant pressure set by
pressure relief valve 4d + the Delta-p preset pressure.
34
P max valve
The P max valve located on the pump limits the maximum
pump output pressure, but this pressure would not be reached
since pressure relief valve 4d which is set to be lower than P
max, is there to limit the system pressure. Valve 4d should be
used when adjusting the pump 1 working pressure within the system. P max is set to be higher than
4d by factory setting, so its usually not necessary to change the setting on P max, this way P
max would not interfere with the LS signal.

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.

1. Start the engine and set the engine speed to 1500 rpm.
2. Make sure the rig is in Drilling mode.
3. The reading from gauge 34 should be 250 bar (LS return pressure + delta-p). If not, adjust the
screw on 4d until the gauge reads 250 bar.
Note: If it happens that the reading is lower than 250 bar, and by adjusting 4d the gauge reading
stays the same. This means that the P max valve is not correctly adjusted. Adjust P max valve
according to the instructions below, then adjust 4d until the gauge reads 250 bar.

21
Pumps and pilot pressure

Checking / Setting the maximum pump pressure P max.


1. Start the engine and set the engine speed to 1500 rpm.
2. Make sure the rig is in Drilling mode.
3. Screw pressure relief valve 4d to its end position, so it would not limit the system pressure
produced by pump 1.
4. Screw the P max set screw clockwise (if the pressure is too low) or anti-clockwise (if the
pressure is too high), while watching gauge 34 until it reads 270 bar.
5. When this is done, re-adjust the screw on 4d until the gauge reads 250 bar, to get back to its normal
setting.

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.

Cooling fans

Cooling fans
Conditions
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.

Conditions for starting the compressor/hydraulic oil temperature cooler fan:


 Compressor temperature sensor B366 D512:X2/X3
OR
 Hydraulic oil temperature sensor B362 D512:X20a
Results in:
D512:X8a Y504 activated

Conditions for starting the engine water/ATAC temperature cooler fan:


 Engine coolant temperature sensor B354 (CAT system)
OR
 Air inlet temperature (CAT system)
Results in:
D512:X7a Y501 activated
Revolution

The signal input to solenoids Y504 and Y501 varies max


between 0mA 510mA depending on the cooling
demands. At 510mA, little hydraulic oil is available to
power the fan motor. And at 0mA, the displacement of
the fan motor is significantly increased which lead to a mA
much higher output of the fan. 0 510

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.

When the compressor is loaded:


The cooling of compressor is dependent of the ambient temperature. There are different cooling
requirements for different ambient temperature (see table below).

Ambient Temperature setting Ambient Temperature setting


temperature [C] [C] temperature [C] [C]
> 35 At least 120 5 85-100
30 110-120 0 80-95
25 105-120 -5 75-90
20 100-115 -10 70-85
15 95-110 -15 65-80
10 90-105 <-20 60-75

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.

When the compressor is not loaded:


The cooling fan is striving to keep the hydraulic temperature to be between 40C-50C. The same
concept is applied here as well, at 40C the regulation starts, and at 50C the fan is running at its
maximum rpm. It is therefore important that tramming should always happen with un-
loaded compressor.

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.

Pump 5 & 6 maximum pressure


Since the pressure settings of electro proportional relief valves Y504 and Y501 are controlled by the
actual temperature sent by the temperature sensors. Therefore it is necessary to disable the temperature
control function in order to check the maximum pressure of pump 5 & 6.

This can be done by disabling the fan control option in menu F2 Settings 2.

Tramming

Activating the tramming function


When the Tramming mode is selected (default mode when starting the rig), the following solenoid
valves are activated.

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.

Conditions:

*Hydraulic oil temperature (B362) must be at least 20C, see chapter Oil pre-heating.

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.

The rear jack is controlled by buttons 15 and 17, which energizes


solenoid valve Y410A/B. In order to protect the rear jack from
becoming bent, it is not possible to tram the drill rig unless the jack
is fully retracted. This is monitored by inductive proximity switch
B184, if the sensor is inactive, which means the support leg is down,
this will also generate a warning on the display (see right).

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.

Boom and feed positioning


The positioning cylinders are controlled by pilot controlled directional valves (see figure on next
page). The pilot pressure that is used for boom positioning is generated internally in the boom
positioning block, in the same way as the pilot pressure is generated in the drilling block. This is done
via a pressure reducing valve set to 35 bar, a strainer and out to the pilot circuit. To protect the pilot
system against pressure surges, there is a pressure limiting valve set to 50 bar.

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

Track oscillation solenoid valves Y419 and Y420 are controlled automatically (when track oscillation
is activated) via control buttons (21, 22, 23 and 24) in the cab. The oscillation cylinders are connected
hydraulically to an electric valve with spring return Y473 which is activated with button 25 on the
control panel. This valve has two positions:

 Open position (floating)


When Y473 is activated, pilot pressure is delivered to the over centre valves. The ratio between
the over centre valves is 1/13, which means that 25 bar is needed for them to permit oil flow to
the cylinders connected in parallel. This position is used for tramming so that unevenness in the
ground are compensated for between the two cylinders. (See figure)
 Closed position (locked)
When valve Y473 is deactivated there is no flow between the cylinders (over centre valves are not
activated). This valve position is used to ensure a stable set-up for drilling.

Flushing air modes


The flushing air is controlled by button 14 and 16. There are two flushing air modes: reduced and full
flushing air. When reduced air mode (button 14) is selected, only solenoid valve Y116 is activated.
And when full air mode is selected (button 16), both solenoid valves Y115 and Y116 are activated; at
the same time solenoid valve Y210B is also activated to engage a higher air pressure. These buttons
are also mutually exclusive.

Rotation
Conditions for drill rotation:
 The rig must be in drilling mode.
 B118 activated Drill steel gripper arm in carousel position
Drill lever, rotation CCW D101, X9a Y102A activated
Drill lever, rotation CW D101, X9b Y102B activated

Sensor (B101) senses the rotation pressure and sends signals to the display in the cab via I/O module
D101 and contact X22. The drill rotation circuit includes functions for direction of rotation and
controls the rotation speed. The drill rotation circuit is supplied with oil by pump 2 and 4.
Sensor B118 must be activated, i.e. the RHS arm must be in the carousel.

The pilot controlled directional valve


4w works along with the shunt valve 4x
as a constant flow regulator and
provides oil to rotation motor. Valve
Y102A controls rotation CCW, and
valve Y102B controls rotation CW. The
two pressure relief valves (see figure)
control the max. pressure to the rotation
motor. Max. pressure for rotation CW is Rotation CW Rotation CCW
100 bar and for rotation CCW 160 bar. See a further description of sectors in the drilling section.

The rotation speed for drilling can be set


from menu F1 or
Drilling/Parameters/Rotation. By
changing the setting for rotation speed,

X15a.The sensor (B133) senses the feed pressure and sends signals to the display via Feed, backward
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.

(B133) senses the feed pressure and sends signals to the display in the cab via I/O module D101 and
contact X4.

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)

Drilling

Threading pressure settings & threshold:


The maximum rotation pressure for threading is determined by parameter 2 (see figure below).
But when the One Hole Automatics function is activated (refer to chapter OHA), the system must
know when during threading, the rods are considered as tightened. This is done by using a threshold
value defined by parameter 4. As soon as this setting is achieved, the gripper will be moved back to the
carousel and the break out table will be opened so that drilling can be resumed.

OHA unthreading flow:


The OHA function enables the rig to drill a hole to the desired hole depth/length and then extract the
rods from the hole. The following flow describe the sequence for retracting the rods when the desired
hole depth/length is reached.

At M4 position (Fig. 1), the following sequence is to take


place:
1. The break out table breaks apart the rods
2. The upper rod unthreads until the cradle is approx. 10
cm above the M4 position
Fig. 1
At this particular position slightly above M4 (Fig. 2), the
following sequence is to take place:
1. The upper break out table closes to get a tight grip of
the rod which is being held by the grippers
2. Unthreading takes place in approx. 1 second to loosen
the adapter from the rod
Fig. 2
Note: The break out wrench clockwise twist can be
used here to assist the adapter-rod separation, if so,
option Reverse break adapter at rod extraction must
be activated in menu F2 Setting 2

Fig. 3 3. The upper break out table opens up

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.

When unthreading is to take place, as soon as


the rotation pressure drops below setting 5, the
joints are considered as loosened, and the
rotation pressure must always be below setting 5 1
from this point on otherwise unthreading will be 2
stopped and break out table will start to break 3
loose the joints again. 4

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-
80% of the sector position) and deactivated with lever button Z1 or Z2.

The lock is automatically deactivated if the drill lever is moved into the drilling sector.

If deactivated in one of the sectors for Drilling, Collaring, Rotation or Rapid feed backward, the
function corresponding to that sector is to be started. In other cases, all drill actuations are to be

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

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.

 HECL, DTH hammer lubrication system

 Spray greasing system (option), see description under chapter Options.

 DCT, dust collector

 Extra air-outlet

 Watermist system (option), see description under chapter Options.

HECL, DTH hammer lubrication system


Function
The HECL pump (Y165) is a hydraulic driven lubrication pump that starts pumping as soon as air
flushing is turned on. The pump receives pulses from the I/O module (40-60 pulses/min), which is set
by Frequency Lubrication, HECL-pump. Lubrication oil is then led through a hose to the rotation
unit, where the lubricating oil and air is mixed.

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.

The HECL lubrication settings can be set from menu Drilling/Parameters/Lubrication.

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.

DCT filter cleaning


DCT filter cleaning is also activated when the above conditions are met. The filter cleaning valves
(Y251A-D) quickly open and close alternately to create pressure shocks of compressed air to clean the
filters.

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.

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.

The position of the calibration sensors is measured when the


cradle is in its top position (mechanical stop) in centimetres
from the lower edge of the calibration plate to the centre of
each sensor.

Sensor B172 is located on the top pulley wheel. The sensor


sends a number of pulse signals when the pulley wheel is
turning. This provides information on where the cradle is on
the feed beam.

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.

For each drill hole:


 Desired hole depth (0-99.9 m)
 Current hole length (0-99.9 m)
 Current feed angle (0-360)
 Drill rate, entire drill hole (0-99.9 m/min)
 Drill rate, accumulated average (0-99.9 m/min)

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.

Initial calibration of the length sensor


Calibration sensor B127 for the pulse sensor is located just below M4. This means that the sensor can
be activated if the length positions are calibrated before the drill bit reaches the rock. Before proximity
sensor B127 is activated for the first time, the feed speed is limited for more accurate calibration. If
Emergency mode, Length Sensor is selected from the F2 menu, calibration is ignored.

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.

Conditions for measurement


 The rig must be in drilling mode.
 Pulse sensor B172 must be calibrated
 Hold depth counter must be reset
 Drilling in downward direction
 Percussion activated M6 M5 M4 M3 M2 M1

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.

Conditions for blocking


 Lower break out table closed
 Drill lever activated for unthreading

Backing up
The hole depth/length is locked while the cradle backs up. The system displays the position of the drill
bit.

RHS, Rod handling system


General
The functions for the various rod handling movements are controlled manually with the drill levers in
the cab (see image of levers) or automatically by pressing the RHS button on the drill panel in the cab.
All actuation signals go via I/O modules out to the rod handling system. There are a number of sensors
on the feed beam that then detect the activities in the system and send signals via I/O modules to the
display in the cab. (See the explanation of how the sensors work later in this chapter RHS sensor
summery.)

Left control lever (lever 35) Right control lever (lever 36)

Conditions for RHS functions:


 The rig must be in drilling mode
 The operator in seat

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)

Drill steel support & Break out table


Mode changing
Since the drill steel support and break out jaws are all controlled by the same 1 2 3 4 5
lever 36 on left control panel, it is therefore important to know which mode
(drill steel support/break out jaws) the lever is operating in. The operating
mode is indicated by the lamp on button 3 and it can even be manually 6 7 8 9 10
controlled by the same button. 35 36

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

Drill steel supports


Lever 36 controls solenoids valves Y361 (upper support) and Y350 (lower support) for opening and
closing the drill steel supports. The actuation signal for the upper drill steel support (Y361) goes via
I/O module D103 and contact X9. And the actuation signal for the lower drill steel support (Y350)
goes via I/O module D103 and contact X10. The cylinder speed is limited by two flow restrictors for
each drill steel support.

Break out table


Lever 36 also controls solenoid valves Y356 (upper jaw) and Y354 (lower jaw) for opening and
closing the break out jaws. The actuation signal for the upper break out jaw (Y356) goes via I/O
module D103 and contact X24. And the actuation signal for the lower break out jaw (Y354) goes via
I/O module D103 and contact X15. The pressure to the break out jaws is limited by a pressure
reducing valve to 140 bar for each break out jaw.

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.

Break out table emergency mode


During usual break out sequence, the upper break out claws only twist in the anticlockwise direction.
In order to be able to twist the upper break out claws in the opposite direction, the break out table
emergency option can be activated in menu F2 Settings 1.

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.

Break out Break out

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

RHS arm transfer and gripper rotation


The RHS cylinders are controlled by the solenoid valves Y301A and Y301B. Y301A moves the RHS
arm to the carousel and Y301B moves the arm back to the drill centre. There is a pressure reducing
valve that limits the maximum pressure to the tube transfer cylinders to 100 bar, and there are two
throttle vales that control the cylinder speed. The actuation signal for arm transfer goes via I/O module
D103 and contact X8.

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.

RHS emergency mode


It is always difficult to predict which sensor might fail during operation. In order to make sure that the
operator can still have full manual control of the rig if the mid-position sensor B119 or the gate sensor
B178 fails, the following measures can be taken in order to force-rotate the rod grippers and force-
open the magazine gate.

To force-rotate the rod grippers with the lever 35:


 Enable the RHS emergency option in menu F2 Settings 1
 Activate the gripper emergency button 9 on the right control panel

To force-open the magazine gate:

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)

Open gripper claws


The gripper claws are opened by pressing the lever button on lever 35, the button needs to be held in
order to keep the claws open. Valve Y300 controls the opening of the gripper claws, and the actuation
signal goes via I/O module D102 and contact X10a.

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.

63
RHS, Rod handling system

RHS sensor summery


There follows a brief description of how the sensors on the D65s work:

 B118 This sensor detects when the rod


handing arm is in the carousel. This sensor or
B119 must be activated to enable percussion
during drilling.

 B119 This sensor detects when the rod


handling arm is in the middle position. This
sensor must be activated to enable gripper
B172
rotation. Percussion can also be enabled
when the arm is in this position.
B127
 B120 This sensor detects when the rod
handling arm is at drill centre.

 B182 is activated when the carousel has


rotated towards the grippers and has stopped
in the correct position for the removal of a
drill tube to drill centre.

 B183 is activated when the carousel has


rotated away from the grippers and has
stopped in the correct position for the return
of a new drill tube from drill centre to the
carousel.

 B122 is a calibration sensor that, along with B118


B127, detects where on the feed beam the
B120
rock drill cradle is during drilling. The sensor
has a constant value, and should the value
deviate during drilling the system
automatically sets the constant value.
B122
B182
 B127 is a calibration sensor that detects the B183
position of the rock drill cradle. This sensor
has a constant value and can only be
calibrated in the downward direction.

 B172 This sensor detects where the rock drill


cradle is on the feed beam. (For more
information, see under Calibration
sensors.)

One hole automatics (OHA)

One hole automatics (OHA)


Function
The OHA function enables the rig to drill a hole to the desired hole 6 8 10
depth/length and then extract the rods from the hole. The function can be 5 12
activated with button 2, under the condition that the rig is in drilling mode. 4 13
7 9 11
3 14
Start of OHA
The OHA can be started in two ways in a new hole: 2 38 15
1. Drilling is started with a manual collaring and then the OHA 1 16
button is pressed during locked drilling, auto-sequence starts.
2. Drilling is started with the OHA button, then the auto-sequence
starts with an initial collaring before ramping up to drilling.

When the OHA function is active, it is indicated by a green lamp on the


status bar at the bottom of the display.

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.

During the drill phase OHA can be started in two ways:


1. Drilling is restarted manually and the OHA button is pressed during locked drilling, auto-
sequence resumes.
2. Drilling is restarted with the OHA button, then the auto-sequence is resumed with an initial
collaring before ramping up to drilling.

Drill out when M1 or the desired length/depth is reached


When position M1 is reached during OHA, drilling is stopped according to the following:
1. When M1 is reached, drill feed is stopped.
2. The cradle backs up to M2 position.
3. Rotation is air flushing remains on until the air pressure has dropped to Air pressure, drill out,
set via menu Drilling/Parameters/Others. If the pressure is not reached within 5 seconds,
rotation and air flushing are turned off and the RHS sequence is to be continued.
4. If Extra flushing is selected in menu F2 (see next chapter), rotation is turned off and air
flushing is on for Extra flushing, time. Watermist is not on here.

65
One hole automatics (OHA)

Options
There are a few options that can be selected in menu F2 Setting 1 when using OHA.

The number behind the


option indicates for how
many rods the function is to
be used. E.g., if the number
behind Half rod flushing
shows 2, then half rod
flushing is going to be
carried out on both rod 1 and
rod 2.

Automatic close of drill support:


With this option activated, the OHA automatically closes the
lower upper drill steel support, the upper drill steel support is
closed as soon as the cradle has passed position M7, so that the
drill tubes can be correctly guided.

This option can be disabled typically when drilling in fractured


rock where cleaning is often required.

Final air blow before removal:


When the hole is drilled to the desired hole length, air flushing (no water mist) remains active for an
adjustable period of time, set by Air flushing time via menu Drilling/Parameters/Timers.

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.

Half rod flushing:


This function can also be active if extra flushing or cleaning is active. If water mist is active it is on
here. The function is that when drilling is stopped in the middle of a tube, rotation and air flushing
remains on for Half rod flushing, time, set via menu Drilling/Parameters/Timers, and when the time
has expired drilling is restarted.

66
One hole automatics (OHA)

Automatic rod extraction:


This option can be activated in three modes:
 Rod extraction only
 Rod extraction with rotation
 Rod extraction with rotation and air

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.

The automatic rod extraction option can be


disabled typically when drilling in fractured rock
when the operator would prefer to manually extract the rods.

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.

Text on display: AutoRhs Error: Unable To Open Adapter Rod Joint

The system is unable to unthread the joints of the adapter and the tube despite of repeated attempts.
Possible causes: worn break out jaws, oil on the rods, badly lubricated threads

Text on display: AutoRhs Error: ArmsToDrillCenter Order rejected


Error classification: System error/Setting error
Description/Cause or error:
OHA has sent an order that the RHS arms should be moved to the drill center but received instead a
reply that the order has been rejected. This can be caused by that the cradle is located too far down
(there are parameters that control how high up the feed the cradle must be so that the RHS arms can be
moved to the drill center).

Text on display: AutoRhs Error: Upper thread end-point passed


Error classification: System error/Setting error

OHA has sent an order that the RHS arms should be moved to the middle position (B119), but
received instead a reply that the order has been rejected.

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.

Error messages only during threading:

Text on display: AutoRhs Error: Unable to fetch rod from magazine


Error classification: System error
Description/Cause or error:
Unable to fetch rod from the magazine. This is usually caused by there has been some error in the
RHS system and it is not ready, e.g. the RHS arms are situated at an unknown position and therefore it
can not be moved. If an error occurs when moving the rod from the magazine to the middle position,
then this message is displayed when the system is trying to move the rod from the middle position to
the drill center.

Error messages only during extraction:

Text on display: AutoRhs Error: Unable To Open Rod Rod Joint


Error classification: System error/Setting error
Description/Cause or error:
The system is unable to unthread the joints of the upper and lower rods despite of repeated attempts.
Possible causes: worn break out jaws, oil on the rods, badly lubricated threads

Text on display: AutoRhs Error: Unable to return rod to magazine


Error classification: System error
Description/Cause or error:
The OHA system is waiting for that the rod should be moved from the middle position to the carousel,
but it receives a reply that this order could not be done. It could be that the system was not able to
rotate in an empty compartment to put the rod in (sensor failure).

Text on display: AutoRhs Error: No reattempts left


Error classification: System error
Description/Cause or error:
Repeated attempts to unthread the joints of the rods has been carried out, but it is always the wrong
joint (adapter tube) which goes up instead. Now there is no attempts left.

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 Module, CAN bus


General
The CAN bus system comprises a CAN loop that transmits information between the display in the cab
and the function blocks. The CAN loop is connected to a number of I/O modules and other modules.
These modules have a number of contacts that act as inputs and outputs. These modules and contacts
are activated differently depending on the actuation signals and what sensor information is sent.

Note: Information can pass an I/O module without this been activated. There are several modules on a
CAN loop and each module has a specific address, as does the information. Information sent for I/O
module three in the series will simply pass the two first modules to then be accepted by the third
module, which has the correct address code.

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.

I/O Module, CAN bus

The red symbol in the lower right corner


indicates that there is one or more modules
which do not have contact with the system,
or the module has a fault. This is especially
helpful in a CAN system which has more
modules than what the display can show at
the same time. In such case the hidden
modules can be reached by using the arrow
buttons. When all the modules work
normally the symbol turns yellow.

General and specific settings for modules and angle sensors


Settings must generally be made on modules and angle sensors that replace components on the rig.
This must be done before the rig is recommissioned after repairs. Angle sensors must also be
calibrated, see the operators manual.

NOTE: Modules and angle sensors are not set with these settings on delivery.

Watermist system 225 l & 400 l
The watermist system is used to stabilize the drill hole when drilling through loose and porous rock by
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.

Conditions for water mist:


 The rig is in Drilling mode
 Compressor is loaded
 Air flushing is enabled

Watermist system 225 liters


The 225 litre water-mist system is a pressurized system. The water is injected into the flushing air after
it has been pressurized by the compressed air.

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.

Watermist system 400 liters


The 400 liter water-mist system is a non-pressurized system. The water is pumped into the flushing air
circuit by a hydraulic piston pump. The hydraulic oil flow to the piston pump is controlled by solenoid
valve Y112D and it is provided by pump 1. The maximum pressure to the piston pump is limited by a
pressure relief valve set to 30 bar.

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.

In case the level sensor is mal-


functioning and there is still enough
water left in the tank, the water mist
function can be forced by using
option Emergency mode, Water Mist in menu F2 Settings 1.

80
Options

The amount of water is controlled as follows: 1 2


 Reduced/auto water mist is activated by button 1, the actuation of
valve Y112D is shown in percentage on the water mist scale in F1
menu, which represents how much water that is pumped out to the
system. The actuation of valve Y112D can be adjusted by buttons 2
6 7
and 7, the scale will then increase/decrease 1% by every push.

 Full water mist can be directly activated by button 6, which will


increase the setting of valve 112D to its maximum.

Settings for Y112D


Min (0%): 200mA
Max (100%): 600mA
Button 6: 1250mA

 When none of the buttons are activated, the water mist option is OFF. Solenoid valves Y112D
is 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.

Important! When working in environments where the


ambient temperature often drops below 0C, it is
important to drain the water mist system in order to
avoid freezing. This can be done by activating option
Water Mist Draining in menu F2 Settings 1. When
selected, valve Y112C is activated for 20 seconds to
blow out the remaining water. The draining process is
also indicated by a green lamp on the status bar.

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 sensor position

Laser level

4m

Drill bit position


10m

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.

Spray greasing system


Lubrication of the drill steel threads is done by an air spray and a grease injector mounted on the lower
RHS carousel bracket. The grease is injected by a pump placed in the front of the wagon frame. The
grease pump is powered by compressed air from the compressor and controlled through valve Y552A.
Compressed air is also used for the spraying, and its controlled by valve Y552B.

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

Conditions for spray greasing:


 The rig is in Drilling mode Spray greasing,
 Compressor is loaded manual

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.

83
Australia options

Australia options
The following features are specially designed for rigs in Australia, and they can be accessed via menu
System/Configure/AUS options.

Engine Idle-down Timer


This feature ensures that the diesel engine cannot be stopped before it has been running on idling
speed (1100 RPM), with the rig in tramming mode and the compressor unloaded for at least a
period of time set through entry Delay on the display.

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.

84
Australia options

Rod in Hole Lockout


This feature is introduced to prevent the rig from tramming with rod(s) still below the surface level.
The following alternatives are used to determine whether the rods are inside or outside the hole:

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:

 Broken length sensor


In order to prevent a faulty or uncalibrated length sensor from blocking the tramming function, the
option Emergency mode, Length Sensor can be activated via menu F2 Setting 1 in order to ignore
Alt 1 and Alt 2 of the blocking rules.

 Cradle stuck down on the feeder


This can be solved in the same way as the broken length sensor.

 Rod counter has incorrect values


Reset the hole length measurement as this also set the rod count to zero.

Operator Out of Chair Deallocation


This feature ensures that the operator cannot leave the chair during drilling and become injured on any
of the moving parts on the rig. The rig becomes deallocated (operator panels out of function) when the
operator leaves the chair, so that all movement stops. A pop-up warning Operator Out of Chair
Deallocation will also be shown on the display.

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.

85
Australia options

External Switch for Water Mist Pump Control


Water from the water mist tank can be used when cleaning the rig on site. This is done by connecting a
hose to the water mist pump. In order to turn the pump on and off, a switch needs to be mounted
somewhere on the rig, preferably close to the water mist pump.

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.
