System Overview:
1.2.1 PLC:
The system core is the Rockwell PLC which oversees basic operation and safety. The PLC communicates
exclusively using Ethernet to all peripheral equipment, including sensors, actuators, high level
automation, and other On and Off-board systems. The majority of control data is routed internally
on the shearer through a network of CIOS assemblies. CIOS comprises of a flexible arrangement of
plugable units, allows wiring to sensor and actuator wiring to be routed efficiently in localised
groups. The CIOS modules may be used both ex- ternally as intrinsically safe (IS) devices, or used
within the control compart- ments in an explosion protected environment (FLP).

Scope of Control:

• The PLC is responsible for the monitoring of all machine health and safety transducers. PMC-S
  monitors numerous intrinsically safe pressure, flow, level, temperature, angle and strain
  transducers. These sensors are used to monitor properties such as gearbox / reservoir fluid levels,
  oil temperatures and surface temperatures. The data from these transducers provides warning and
  protection against abnormal operating conditions hazardous to operators, and the longwall
  environment.
• Actuators are controlled by the PLC logic and depend on exhaustive interlock- ing requirements of
  machine functions and sensors. The main areas of interest being Motor start / stop, Hydraulic
  actuators, Haulage Drive signals, and water circuit controls.
• All on-board sensors, actuators, systems and components are monitored exclu-
  sively by the PLC application.
