Boom–type roadheaders are basic machines used in underground mines for drilling roadways, in tunnelling and also for making underground buildings using trenchless methods. The article presents selected results of tests carried out in a semi–industrial scale, on a roadheader R–130, concerning behaviour of an innovative solution of system for automatic control of boom–type roadheader cutting heads’ movements. This important innovation, not known before in mining cutting machines, is the software control of cutting heads angular speed using a frequency converter. The text shows an impact of key values, from a perspective of an assumed control purpose, of programming device (setting system) parameters, achieving reference values for the actuators, on controlled facility behaviour when cutting a layered cement and sand block. The performance of the automatic control system without and with feedback to the setting system concerning an actual speed of cutting heads movement, which is important from the control system hardware perspective, was compared.

The regulation of the coolant speed during convective drying in a stationary grain layer allows the maximum use of the amount of heat energy for drying the material. The paper presents the results of a study of the regulation of the coolant speed on an experimental drying plant for use in the automatic control system of a chamber grain dryer. The article also discusses the issues of energy saving efficiency in drying chambers. The possibility of automatic control of the main parameters control system using a microcontroller is analyzed.

This paper deals with the automation of the rock cutting process with roadheaders used widely in civil engineering for drilling roadways in underground mines and tunnels. Although there has been intensive technical development, roadheaders are still manually controlled. Manual control does not allow optimizing the values of the cutting process parameters, which often results in low mining efficiency, especially in the case of hard rocks, as well as high energy consumption and significant dynamic overloading of the roadheader. As part of theoretical and experimental research, an automatic control system was designed for the boom-type roadheader and an algorithm was developed for the optimal control of the cutting process parameters. Control criteria have been formulated, based on which the current values of the cutting process parameters are worked out using the information on the dynamic load state of the roadheader. The paper presents selected results of numerical tests conducted on roadheader dynamics, which simulated the automatic control system operation of the heading face cutting process of drilled roadway or tunnel. These tests were intended to analyze the behavior of the investigated object during simulated rock cutting in automatic mode. The results confirmed the possibility of a significant reduction in mining energy consumption.

Abstract A method for creating an automatic control system for a ship with directional instability has been developed. As part of the tests of a small-sized unmanned vessel, a control diagram was built. It showed that the vessel is unstable along its route. It became necessary to add a control channel for the angular acceleration of the vessel to the main channels of the PID regulator. The PID-U regulator has a significant advantage in controlling an unstable vessel on the route over a standard PID regulator due to the channel of angular acceleration; the regulator monitors the angular speed and compensates it with control actions. The disadvantage of the method is difficulties in finding the angular acceleration of the vessel, since, gyroscopic sensors installed on vessels provide data only on the route and angular speed. Simple integration of the angular speed to determine the acceleration can result in errors, especially in wind-wave conditions. The mathematical observer based on the Kalman filter can be used. The results of operation modeling forthis regulator are described.

DC motor speed control can be done either manually or by using an automatic controlling tool. In order to perform parametric optimization of a DC motor rotational speed automatic control system, we have developed a simplified methodology. The said methodology is able to obtain a transfer function for an automatic control system being based on several initially given system parameters. It is a tree-step way according to the research goals. We offer model patterns where parameters can be designated. Time constant for a PI controller is being presented by a process time constant for a controlled DC motor for the purpose of this particular research.
