Real-time mining monitoring system |
|
Introduction
A leading provider in the mining industry has recently upgraded
its mining monitoring systems for use in mineral exploration,
underground mining, surface mining, and specific areas of
the construction industry, such as quarrying, tunneling,
demolition, and recycling. In order to collect all production
and environmental monitoring information synchronously, and
ensure continuous monitoring, they needed to set up a real-time
monitoring network that integrates the video stream into
the SCADA system. Since the mining production process involves
many harsh environmental factors, the customer needed an
industrial yet rugged video networking solution that can
withstand these kinds of hazards. This application adopts
MOXA's industrial video encoder and industrial Ethernet switch
to build an extremely reliable and stable surveillance system.
System Description
For underground tunneling applications, the customer needs a product that is rugged enough to create a monitoring network system that is guaranteed to run continuously. In addition, wireless networking is an ideal choice for subterranean applications due to its easy deployment and greater flexibility. In this case, the customer uses four analog cameras, a VPort 351 industrial video encoder, and a wireless AP on each mining vehicle to monitor the mining conditions around the vehicle. The video and data are sent back to a remote control center. The DIN-Rail mounting capability, -40 to 75°C wide operating temperature range, and IP30 casing make the Moxa VPort 351-T industrial video encoder a rugged, yet reliable remote video surveillance solution for connecting mining applications to an existing Ethernet network.
Since the remote, centralized control room uses a SCADA system to monitor and
control all other devices, video streams from the surveillance
cameras are also included in this system by using MOXA's
flexible VPort Software Development Kit (SDK) to get
the benefits of centralized operation. MOXA's VPort SDK
is a user-friendly, customized tool for integrating VPort
series video encoders into a comprehensive monitoring
and control system. Users can monitor mining sites in
real-time from each vehicle at the same time, and provide
a better way to control all anomalous events and conditions.
