In order to improve the automation degree and efficiency of crushing operation in Shanxi A Mine,an automatic control system was built based on the site situation of crushing operation area.The system realized operating parameters monitoring and control of crusher,vibrating screen,belt conveyor and dust collector and other equipment through the application of PLC,sensors,intermediate relays,video monitoring system,etc.At the same time,PLC and the central control center can communicate through industrial Ethernet,so that the central control center can remotely monitor the operation of crushing equipment.After the field application,the automatic control system not only improved the labor efficiency,reduced the equipment failure,but also significantly reduced the impact of noise and dust on miners,and creating economic benefits of more than 5.3×105 yuan/a,the application effect of which was remarkable.
