Service activities for APCS of the coal transshipment complex.
Based on the Terms of reference for APCS of conveyor equipment, the historical archive, keeping record of the positions of warehouse machines (stackers and reclaimers), was amended by adding a beam height coordinate in the reports. A supplementary report, showing the position of warehouse machines, now with addition of a beam height coordinate, was introduced into the APCS reporting system.
On top of that, the voice announcement generation algorithms of the station yard intercommunication system were adjusted, and CCR operators’ message priorities were created, that are initiated by pressing the WinCC button (announcement and activation of the machines en route) before all others. The voice announcement programs were elaborated for Stage 2 and Stage 3 of the construction as part of the automated station yard loud-speaking intercommunication system (automatic generation of messages from WinCC application program of APCS).
The whole scope of service works was performed without the equipment shutdown. No issues regarding operation of the upgraded APCS system were found.
