Introduction
Introduction
A CAN-bus-based electronic control system was introduced on underground rigs in August 1998.
The system is known as RCS.
This system has since been developed on a number of hydraulically powered underground rigs. Since
2002 the system has also been used surface rigs, in an initial phase on the ROC D7.

Hydraulic system, general

General
The hydraulic system on the ROC D7C is controlled by means of pilot pressure. The system comprises
4 hydraulic pumps. Hydraulic pumps 1 and 2 are driven directly by the diesel engine via a flexible
coupling. The remaining pumps (3 and 4) are fitted as a double pump on the engine's power take off
(PTO).

Pilot pressure
The pilot pressure is generated in the drilling block, winch block and positioning block. This pressure
supplies the drilling block's directional valves with oil. This pilot pressure also supplies the tramming
block's directional valves with oil and the directional valves for high-speed tramming and winch
freewheel.
All measurements for pressure and speed can be entered in the display.
The tramming controls are located close to the operator's seat and control the tramming valves in a
proportional manner. (See further description under chapter “Pumps and pilot pressure”.)

Hydraulic pumps
Pump 1:
Main pump 1 in the hydraulic system is an axial piston pump that delivers oil to control the pilot
pressure. (Read more under pilot pressure.) The pump delivers hydraulic force to the following
functions:
Rock drill, percussion

Rock drill, feed
Feed positioning
Boom positioning
Tramming
RHS system
During drilling, pump 1 is controlled by the actual output pressure.

During tramming, it is connected to an open circuit system with a flow distributor that distributes the
flow equally to left and right tramming motors.
Pump 2:
Pump 2 delivers oil to the rock drill’s rotation motor.
Pump 3 and 4:
Pump 3 delivers oil to the dust collector’s fan motor during drilling, or to the
positioning/winch circuits during tramming.
Pump 4 drives the cooler motor for cooling the hydraulic oil, compressor oil and engine’s
intake air and cooling water. It also delivers oil to the track oscillation lock mechanism.
The supply of main circuits with variable flow and high pressure requires pump 1 (variable pump)
which, along with separate fixed-displacement gear pumps for low-pressure, constant flow circuits,
provides a simple and reliable system offering high hydraulic efficiency.

Return oil and oil cooler

The hydraulic oil tank has a capacity of 260 litres, which means there is most often a “reserve” in the
oil tank. There are two oil filters that filter the hydraulic oil returning from the drain circuit and oil
used to fill the system. There is also a ventilation filter that prevents contaminated air entering the
tank when the level of hydraulic oil fluctuates. The thermostats ensure that the oil flows through the
oil cooler when the temperature is above 40ºC and directly to the tank when the temperature is below
40ºC. The by-pass valve protects the oil cooler from exposing to high pressure.
The oil cooler cools the hydraulic oil so that the rig can work at full load in ambient temperatures up
to 50°C. The cooling fan is driven by a fan motor that is supplied with oil by pump 4 at a maximum
pressure of 220 bar.
T-Return oil is a collection block that collects return oil from the various circuits and leads this to the
thermostats.
D-Drain oil is a collection block that collects oil from the various circuits and leads this to the return
oil filter.
L-Drain oil is the oil that goes directly to tank for minimum resistance in the circuits.
The filler pump is used to fill the system. There is a stop valve that prevents return oil from leaking
out through the filler pump. A level sensor (B143) detects the level of hydraulic oil in the tank. Should
this drop below a certain level, the diesel engine is switched off automatically. The sensor signal from
B143 goes via I/O module D510 and contact X8.
The temperature sensor (B362) senses the hydraulic oil temperature and the temperature will be
shown on the display. The engine will shut down automatically if the hydraulic oil temperature
exceeds 90ºC. The sensor signal from B362 goes via I/O module D510 and contact X14.
The drain cock is used to remove water of condensation or to empty the hydraulic oil tank.

Electrical system, general

General
ROC D7C has a 24 volt electrical system for monitors and fault diagnosis. Electrical power is also
used to control a number of hydraulic valves and compressed air valves. The structure of the electrical
system is illustrated in a block diagram.
Battery and charging

The power source for starting the engine is two 12 V/185 Ah batteries that are connected in series.
These are charged by a 3 phase A/C alternator. The batteries are connected to the system via a manual
battery switch.
The CAN system is powered by two 12 V/45 Ah “car batteries” that are connected in series.
Note: All the batteries are charged together when the start key is in the ignition position.
Main fuse
The feed to the electrical cabinet is fused by a 80 A main fuse (F300).
Electrical cabinet, ECM and gateway
The electrical cabinet contains 21 fuses,

of which two automatic circuit breakers

*S132A is the emergency stop connected to the winch, which is an
option.
Sequence
Activation of start key (S139):
1. Wait for stop solenoid delay 0.5 s.
2. Activate stop solenoid (K200).
3. Wait for start relay delay 0.5 s.
4. Activate start relay (K5).
Starter motor relay (K5) is activated long as
the key (S139) is in the start position.
NOTE: The stop solenoid delay and start relay delay are
factory settings.
13
Diesel engine
Ignition position
When the ignition key S139 is in the ignition position, contacts 30-50 and 30-75 are closed (see
electrical diagram for further description). Current is supplied to ignition relays K4A, K4B, RCS
backup relay K301 and ECM via K200 to start the ECM and pre-heating. I/O module D510 with
contact X15a is then activated, and the display shows that ignition is ON. When ignition relay K4A is
activated, contact K4A is closed and current is led to contact K5A.
Start position
Conditions for activation of starter motor:
emergency stops S132A*, S132B, S132C,
S132D and S132E not tripped→ D510:X11a-high
That fuses F300, F1, F11 and F12 are not tripped.
Ignition key (S139) in start position→ D510:X15b-high
(contacts 30-15, 30-50 closed)
Compressor (S180) unloaded→ D511:X23a-low
*S132A is the emergency stop connected to the winch, which is an option.
If the conditions above are fulfilled, I/O module D510 contact X2a is set to high. The current is fed to
relay K5B which in turn controls relay K5A. When relay K5A closes, the starter motor (M1) is
activated.
D510:X2a-high → K5B relay→ K5A relay→ M1 activated
Conditions for starting the diesel engine (activating stop solenoid K200):
Compressor temperature (B366)→ D511:X17 (<120°C)
Hydraulic oil temperature (B362)→ D510:X14 (<90°C)
Hydraulic oil level sensor (B143)→ D510:X8 (>50 l)
Water level sensor (B361)→ D510:X24a-high
If the conditions above are fulfilled:
D510:X2b-high→ K200 activated→ enables engine start
(Note: When all the sensors mentioned above are working normally, K200 gets activated already when
the ignition key is in ignition position.)
When the ignition key S139 is turned to the start position, the diesel engine starts. Release the ignition
key, the key springs back to the running position. If the engine fails to start, check which symbol(s)
are displayed and rectify the fault. Turn the key back to position 0 before trying again.
14
Diesel engine
Control instrument
The ECM controls and monitors all engine data and the diagnostic information from the diesel
engine's sensors and switches. This information is sent via a gateway to the display in the cab, where
all the necessary engine information is presented. The gateway translates information from J1939 to
CAN open so it can be presented on the display.
Signals are also sent via the I/O modules directly to the display in the cab, where information can be
viewed. (See figure.)
Status bar
Fault indicators
The rig has many monitoring functions that check that all data is relevant and correct. If a problem
arises, signals are sent from the ECM via the gateway or from sensors via the I/O modules.
When a fault related to the engine arises, signals are sent from the ECM via the gateway to the display
in the cab, and information about the sensors is presented in plain text in the engine status window
(see below). Caterpillar's diagnostic codes can also be viewed for respective sensor. When certain
faults arise, a “fault window” automatically appears on the display. This can be acknowledged by
pressing ESC, and the corresponding warning lamp is lit on the status bar.
Faults that are accompanied by a red warning lamp switch the engine off automatically. If a yellow
indicator light is shown, the engine must be switched off manually. All faults should be carefully
checked and rectified.
15
Diesel engine
Switches and sensors that automatically and manually stop the diesel
engine
When a fault arises, an information window appears on the screen. This information window must be
closed manually by using the “Ecs” button. The fault is also indicated by a lamp on the status bar
indicating events.
Manual shutdown:
Start key (S139)
Emergency stop (S132A, S132B, S132C, S132 D, S132E)

Diesel engine
Engine speed
The engine speed can be regulated by manually three buttons, botton 3, 15 and 16 (see figure and table
below). The engine starts on 1200 rpm.
During drilling:
By shifting to drilling mode, the engine speed increases 1500 rpm. When any of the drilling functions
which include activation of flushing air or the manual flushing air (button 14) is then activated, the
engine speed increases to the last set value which the system has remerbered. This value stays actuall
even when the rig is to be restarted. If nothing has been set yet the engine speed increases to the max
engine speed (2200 rpm). The engine speed can be changed by pushing button 15, the engine speed
increases with 50 rpm, in the same way the engine speed can be reduced with 50 rpm/push by using
botton 16. When none of the drilling functions are activated anymore, the engine speed automatically
lowers itself to 1500 rpm.
Rod handlings system always operates on 1500 rpm, though the speed can be reduced to 1200 by
pushing button 3.
During tramming:
The engine speed for tramming can also be set with buttons 15 and 16. The engine speed goes back to
the last set value for tramming every time when shifting back to tramming mode, even when the rig is
to be restarted. If nothing has been set yet the engine speed goes back to the intermediate speed (1500
rpm). When tramming is directly activated after engine start, the engine speed can be increase to the
last set value by using button 15, otherwise the rig trams at idling speed of 1200 rpm.
Signals are first sent through CAN lower net to the display, from here they are send through CAN
upper net to the gateway. The gateway convert CAN open language to J1939 so that ECM can receive.
CAN message includes information on the currently desired speed. When drilling the engine speed is
controlled by the drill lever.

Compressor
Compressor
General
The built-in compressor is a single-stage compressor. Its normal working pressure is 10.5 bar
(standard 105 l/s; option 127 l/s) with the Caterpillar diesel engine.
Compressor unit
The compressor unit comprises two rotors: a drive rotor and a slide rotor mounted on rollers and ball
bearings. The drive rotor is driven by the diesel engine and transfers power to the slide rotor. The
rotors are lubricated with oil that is injected and mixed with the air. This increases efficiency since the
oil forms a seal between the rotor blade and the housing. The compressor unit is an Atlas Copco type
C106 screw compressor. The gear ration is 1.55.
Air flow
The intake air is drawn through the air filter and an over centre valve to the compressor unit. The over
centre valve also prevents oil returning into the system. The air is mixed with injected oil and goes
directly from the compressor to the air receiver. In the air receiver, the majority of the oil is separated
from the air/oil mixture using an oil separator. This oil is removed by a separator unit. The flow of
compressed air passes through a pressure valve to the drill rigs air system. The pressure valve prevents
the pressure in the air receiver dropping below the lowest working pressure for the compressor
(approx. 2.8 bar), even when the air outlet valves are open, to ensure the correct function of the oil
system.

Compressor
Cooling and oil systems

Oil is used for lubrication, sealing and cooling. There is no oil pump with pressure provided by the air
pressure. The lower part of the air receiver acts as an oil tank. The air pressure means that the oil is
transported from the air receiver through the oil cooler and oil filter to the compressor unit. The
compressor unit has an oil platform at the bottom of the sleeve. The oil for rotor lubrication, cooling
and sealing is injected through a hole in this oil platform. The bearings are lubricated by oil injected
into the bearing housing. The air/oil mixture leaves the compressor unit and returns to the air receiver,
where the oil is separated from the air. The oil that is collected at the bottom of the oil separator
returns to the oil system through a cleaning line that has a flow limiter.
Note: A thermostat valve bypasses the oil cooler when the oil is below 70°C.

Regulator system
The compressor control system comprises a regulator valve. This valve controls the air volume
supplied by the compressor for air consumption whilst also keeping the working pressure within a
certain range. The control system also includes a load valve that is activated by a switch on the diesel
control panel. The load valve allows the diesel engine to warm up before engaging the compressor.
Instrument and fault indication

The pressure of the compressed air delivered from the compressor can be read from the pressure
gauge. The compressor also has a temperature indicator switch (B366), which automatically provides
indication and displays in plain text on the display that the temperature has risen. The system switches
off the diesel engine if the compressor temperature exceeds +120°C.
20
Pumps and pilot pressure

Pump 1
Main pump 1 in the hydraulic system is an axial piston pump with variable displacement. The pump is
pressure compensated, which means that the pressure is constant irrespective of the flow, so long as
the flow is below the maximum capacity of the pump (150 l/min). The pump pressure can be
controlled using external pressure valves or the internal pressure control valve (DR).
During drilling, pump 1 is controlled by the actual output pressure. During tramming, it is connected
to an open circuit system with a flow distributor that distributes the flow equally to left and right
tramming motors.
External pressure valve

During drilling, the pump pressure is
controlled by various setting levels in the
CAN bus system. Using set currents, these
levels control an electric pressure relief valve
(Y100). The various adjustable current levels
represent certain setting on valve Y100,
which in turn angles out the pump to the right
set pressure.
DR: Max. pressure LS: Standby pressure

Internal valve
During tramming the internal pressure control valve (DR) checks the pump pressure. The DR valve
also limits the max. working pressure (250 bar) for the pump.
The rig is automatically set in tramming mode when starting the diesel engine. In this mode, the circuit
system to pump 1 is connected to the tank via the tramming valve block. Pump 1 starts at 20 bar.
Pump 1, pressurizing
Checking/determining standby pressure “LS”

1. Disconnect pilot hose PIX 1 from the “LS” valve and plug the hose.
2. Connect the text gauge hose to outlet 1 on the test panel.
3. Start the engine and set the speed to 1500 rpm by pushing on the drilling mode button.
4. The pressure on the tester should be 20-25 bar.
5. Adjust the “LS” screw on the pump regulator if required.
6. Switch off the diesel engine and refit hose PIX 1 to the “LS” valve.
Checking/determining max. pump pressure “DR”

1. Connect the tester hose to the connection on pump 1.
2. Start the engine and set the speed to 1500 rpm by pushing on the drilling mode button.
3. The pressure on the tester should be max. 250 bar.
4. Adjust the “DR” screw on the pump regulator if required.
21
Pump 2
Pump 2 delivers oil to the rock drill’s rotation motor. The maximum pump pressure for pump 2 is set
via the relief valve in the drill rotation circuit.
Pump 2 is loaded at 11 bar when starting the engine.
Pump 3 and 4
Pumps 3 and 4 are fitted as a double pump on the diesel engine’s power take off.
Pump 3 delivers oil to the dust collector’s fan motor during drilling, or to the positioning/winch
circuits during tramming.
During drilling, the pressure of pump 3 can be set on a relief valve in the DCT valve block.
During tramming, the pressure of pump 3 is set constant at 210 bar.
Pump 3 is unloaded at engine start-up, the oil goes directly to the tank through the unactivated
solenoid valve Y250 when the rig is in tramming mode.
Pump 4 drives the cooler motor for cooling the hydraulic oil, compressor oil as well as engine’s
intake air and cooling water. It also delivers oil to the track oscillation lock mechanism. Pump 4 is
a gear pump and is driven by the power take off on the side of the diesel engine. The pressure of
pump 4 cannot be adjusted but is controlled by the relief valve for the cooling fan. This cartridge
has a value of 220 bar. This pump is permanently active.
Electro proportionally controlled fan drive is available as option, it is controlled by electric
pressure relief valve Y501 which limits the oil pressure to the fan drive.
Pilot pressure
The oil that controls the pilot pressure comes from pump 1 and pump 3. The oil is led to the main
drilling block/boom positioning block/winch block from respective pump through a pressure reducing
valve (set to 35 bar), through a strainer and out to the pilot circuit. The oil in the main drilling block is
led through solenoid valve Y121B, which when activated, guides the pilot pressure to a directional
valve which in its turn let through the hydraulic oil flow to the tramming circuit. Solenoid valve
Y121B is contolled via funktion buttons on the control panel in the cab. To protect the pilot system
against pressure surges, there is a pressure limiting valve set to 50 bar in all of the three blocks.
The value for automatic drill stop can be entered in the display, the signal is then send from the
computer in the cab to the system which turns off respective funtion via pilot controlled valves in the
drilling block. This happens even when the emergency stop is activated.

Tramming high speed*→ I/O-D101X2b→ Y121B and Y122 activated
*Hydrualic oil temperature (B362) at least 20 ºC, see hydraulic oil heater under Drilling.
The tramming circuit includes functions for activating hydraulic functions that maintain the tramming
circuit and control the hydraulic power to the tramming motors.
When the rig is in the tramming position, solenoid valve Y121B is activated. The pilot pressure then
activates the directional valve (see figure) in the main drilling block and supplies the tramming block
via the flow distributor with oil. The tramming block has an open centre and the pump will not supply
oil pressure before the tramming block's directional valve changes position.

Tramming
High and low speed can be selected from the operator panel in the cab. If low speed is selected
(default on when starting the rig), solenoid valve Y121B (see figure above) is activated. If high speed
is selected, solenoid valve Y122 is activated. The pilot pressure is then fed from the solenoid valve in
question to a directional valve in each tramming motor. This connects the system pressure to the
tramming motors' displacement
limiter, which reduces the displacement and increases the speed of the tramming motors. (See
hydraulic diagram for more details.)
Tramming direction and speed are controlled with the tramming controls in the cab or from the remote
control box (see separate description below). These controls send a signal to the pilot valves (Y206,
Y207), which control forward and reverse tramming for the left and right tramming motors. The pilot
pressure changes the position of the directional valves and pump 1 supplies the tramming motors'
hydraulic circuits with oil and pressure.

Operator's cab: Tramming direction valves (Y206A, Y206B, Y207A and Y207B) are controlled by
the tramming controls in the cab. If the rig has a winch, ensure that the remote control box is not
activated.
Note: The winch is controlled from the remote control box. Never operate a rig with winch from
inside the cab - stand at a safe distance.
Winch control (option): When the winch is activated from the remote control box, proportional
valves Y206A, Y206B, Y207A and Y207B are controlled via the tramming controls on the remote
control box. When the remote control box is activated, the tramming controls in the cab are blocked.
24
Tramming
The valve block integrated in the tramming motors comprises a reversing valve, pilot brake valve and
a pilot sequence valve for releasing the tramming brake once the motor is pressurized. The pressure
regulator protects the brake cylinder from high pressure.

When the rig is reversing, a signal is automatically sent via I/O module D511 and contact X22b that
activates a warning siren and a flashing beacon. These warn that the rig is moving backward. (See
conditions above.)

Conditions:
Button 11 (Up)→ I/O- D510X23a→ Y410A activated

The jacks are controlled with buttons on the left-hand control panel. These control solenoid valves
Y410A and B, which are active so long as the corresponding button on the control panel is activated.
Y410A is for jacks up and Y410B for jacks down.
The actuation signals for the jacks go via I/O module D510 and contact X23.
The speed of the cylinder is controlled by whether the operator has selected tramming or drilling.
(Tramming = normal peed, Drilling = rapid.)
Note: The rig can not tram if the jack is down.
25
Positioning
Positioning
The positioning circuits (including track oscillation circuit) are primarily supplied with oil by pump 1.
Since the tramming circuit is also supplied with oil by pump 1, pump 3 has to be used for positioning
during tramming, even when the rig is standing still in tramming mode. Since pump 1 (250 bar) is
larger and works at a higher pressure than pump 3 (160 bar), positioning is more rapid and powerful
in drilling mode than during tramming. The flow from pump 1 is greater than from pump 3.

positioning block, in the same way as the pilot pressure is generated in the drilling block. This is done
via a pressure reducing valve set to 35 bar, a strainer and out to the pilot circuit. To protect the pilot
system against pressure surges, there is a pressure limiting valve set to 50 bar.

No.: 9840 0422 90 page 3(14)
During tramming, pump 3 delivers oil to the positioning circuits. When the rig is in tramming mode,
solenoid valve Y187 is activated. This pressurizes the pump 3 circuit and connects it via a pressure
limiting valve to the positioning circuits. When the rig is not in tramming mode, the positioning
circuits are supplied with oil from pump 1.
Boom extension, In/Out

Boom extension In/Out is controlled by valves Y424A and B. Y424A controls extension and Y424B
controls retraction. The actuation of this function goes via I/O module D101 and contact X19.
Boom swing, Left/Right

Boom swing is controlled by Y425A and B. Y425A controls swing left and Y425B swing right. The
actuation of this function goes via I/O Module D101 and contact X1.
Boom lift, Up/Down

The lifting and lowering of the boom are controlled by valves Y426A and B. Y426A controls lifting
(up) and Y426B controls lowering (down). The actuation of this function goes via I/O module D101
and contact X3.
Feed extension, In/Out

Feed extension In/Out is controlled by valves Y405A and B. Y405A controls the extension of the

Button 18 activated (Up)→ I/O-D510X21a→ Y420A activated 21
Button 20 activated (Down)→ I/O-D510X21b→ Y420B activated
Track oscillation solenoid valves Y419 and Y420 are controlled automatically (when track oscillation
is activated) via control buttons (17, 18, 19 and 20) in the cab. The oscillation cylinders are connected
hydraulically to an electric valve with spring return Y473 which is activated with button 21 on the
control panel. This valve has two positions:
Open position (floating)

When Y473 is activated, pilot pressure is delivered to the over centre valves. The ratio between
the over centre valves is 1/13, which means that 25 bar is needed for them to permit oil flow to
the cylinders connected in parallel. This position is used for tramming so that unevennesses in the
ground are compensated for between the two cylinders. (See figure)
Closed position (locked)
When valve Y473 is inactivated there is no flow between the cylinders (over centre valves are not
activated). This valve position is used to ensure a stable set-up for drilling.

Button 12 (full)→ D511, X5a,5b→ Y115,Y116 activated
Flushing air modes

The flushing air is controlled by a flushing air switch. There are two flushing air modes: reduced and
full flushing air. These are activated by solenoid valves Y116 and Y115.
The button for full flushing air is a toggle switch: full (Y115+Y116) and no flushing air. The button
for reduced flushing air is a toggle switch: reduced flushing air (Y116) and no flushing air. The
buttons are mutually exclusive.
When flushing air ON is selected, flushing air is provided as described for each lever sector.
The air is primarily led through a flow switch valve to the rock drill and partly to the lubrication pump
(ECL). The volume for reduced flushing air is regulated by a control valve. (See pneumatic diagram
page 2/3.) Percussion can still be activated if the flushing air is not on, however selfholding on the drill
lever can be no be achieved. If the flushing air is turned off during drilling with selfhodling, drilling is
stopped.
14
The flushing air can be manually activated by pushing on button 14 under the
conditions that the rig is in drilling mode and one of the flushing air statuses is chosen
(button 10 or 12). The flushing air is then on as long as the button is being held in. This
can be used e.g. when cleaning the ground before drilling.
Flow switch
When full flushing is on, the flow switch (B142) protects against drill bit clogging when drilling
through clay or soft rock. When the air flow falls below a certain limit, the flow switch's electrical
contacts close activating drill feed back (valve Y104B) in the drill feed hydraulic circuit. Drill feed
down is the reverse of drill feed up.
Note: The flow switch does not work when using reduced flushing air.

Sensor (B101) senses the rotation pressure and sends signals to the display in the cab via I/O module
D101 and contact X6. The drill rotation circuit includes functions for direction of rotation and controls
the rotation speed. The drill rotation circuit is supplied with oil by pump 2.
Sensor B118 must be activated, i.e. the RHS arm must be in the carousel.
Max. pressure is provided by pump 1 and the diesel engine runs at high speed.
The pilot controlled directional valve

(see figure) works along with the shunt
valve as a constant flow regulator and
provides oil to rotation motor. Valve
Y102B controls rotation right, and
valve Y102A controls rotation left. The

The percussion circuit includes functions for activating the rock drill's percussion mechanism and
controlling the pressure for collaring and drilling (low and high pressure). The circuit also activates the
timer in the display.
The percussion is supplied with hydraulic power by pump 1.
The directional valve in the main block has two functions: to lead the oil to the rock drill's percussion
mechanism and to lead the oil to the tramming circuit. Percussion is controlled by valve Y101A.

Feed back→ D101, X21b→ Y104B activated
Feed pressure→ D101, X4a→ Y103
The actuation signal for feed pressure (Y103) goes via I/O module D101 and connector X4a.
The sensor (B133) senses the feed pressure and sends signals to the display via I/O module
D101 and contact X10.
The feed circuit includes functions for feeding the rock drill cradle up and down the feed beam, and
for stopping the rock drill in the right position for the rod handling system to insert/remove a drill rod.
The feed circuit is supplied with oil by pump 1.
Valve Y104A (drill feed forward) and valve Y104B (drill feed back) control the directional valve in
the drill feed block (see figure). The feed pressure is controlled by Y103. Dependent on the direction
of feed, pressure valves are activated that determine the max. pressure for forward and reverse feed
respectively. The max. pressure for feed forward is 100 bar and 230 bar for feed back (see figure). If
these valves should for some reason fail to work, the safety valve determines the maximum pressure.
The maximum pressure is then 125 bar for feed forward and 250 bar for feed back.

If sensor B118 indicates that the RHS arms are in the carousel, the feed pressure (Y103) is max. feed
pressure forward. If B118 indicates that the RHS arms are at drill centre, feed pressure is feed
pressure forward RHS. B118 must be active, i.e. RHS arms in carousel position, for maximum feed
pressure. The diesel engine runs at low speed and pump 1 provides maximum pressure.

Drilling
Threading
The threading function is the combined activation of the feed motor and drill rotation motor by one
lever movement. The hydraulic power to the feed function is provided by pump 1 and to the rotation
function by pump 2.
Conditions for threading:

The actuation signal for rotation (Y102) goes via I/O module D101 and contact X23. The sensor
(B101) senses the rotation pressure and sends signals to the display in the cab via I/O module D101
and contact X6.

Feed forward is controlled by valve Y104A and feed back by valve Y104B. Rotation right is
controlled by Y102B and rotation left by Y102A. The threading function is a combination of these.
The feed pressure is controlled by Y103 and for threading Y104A is activated, which in turn activates
rotation right Y102B. For unthreading, Y103 controls the feed pressure via valve Y104B and in turn
activates rotation left Y102A.
For threading forward and back, a maximum pressure is supplied by pump 1. The feed pressure
(Y103) determines the feed speed. The percussion valve is closed (off) and the extractor unit and
flushing air are OFF. The diesel engine runs at low speed.
The feed pressure for threading can be set from menu Drilling/Parameters/Feed pressure. The feed
speed for threading can also be set from menu Drilling/Parameters/Feed speed. (See figures below)

Description
This sector can only be reached from the sectors for rotation and flushing, and drilling. The sector is a
combined collaring and drilling sector enabling drilling with temporarily reduced percussion force, e.g.
when drilling through difficult formations where there is a tendency of jamming, to prevent drill bit
clogging or to make sure of the hole direction with the 1 drill rod in poor rock.
The feed speed (Y104A) Speed drilling, forward limits the feed speed if collaring starts too far from the
rock or if the drill bit drills into a cavity in the rock.
If the lever is moved quickly through the sector for collaring and drilling with reduced percussion force to
the drilling sector, collaring is provided (low feed pressure (Y103) and low percussion pressure (Y101A))
for the duration of Min collaring time, after which the drilling sector conditions apply. Normally used for
the 2nd drill rod when collaring is not required.
*It is also possible to drill without flushing air by choosing away the button for full or reduced
flushing air. In this case the locking function on the drill lever can not be achieved, the drill lever must
be held in manually to continue the drilling.

Description
The drilling sector must only be reached via the sector for collaring and drilling with reduced
percussion force. The percussion first switches from low to high after a few seconds delay if the
damper pressure exceeds Damper pressure high percussion (for Drill control – Off); or Damper
pressure low percussion (for Drill control – Soft, Medium, Hard), otherwise drilling will continue with
low percussion.
The feed pressure (Y103) is increased to Feed pressure, drilling. And the ramp time for feed pressure
can be set in the paratmeter Ramp time, feed pressure. The percussion pressure (Y101A) is increased
to Percussion pressure, drilling, provided that the damper pressure (B132) is not too low (see
description of DPCI). The ramp time for percussion pressure can be set in the paratmeter Ramp time,
percussion pressure.
*It is also possible to drill without flushing air by choosing away the button for full or reduced

be held in manually to continue the drilling.
Function lock
The function can be locked with either lever button Z1 or by holding the drill lever in the drilling
sector for longer than Time until selfholded drilling.
The normal setting is approx. 1.6 seconds.
Deactivate locked functions with lever button Z1 or Z2.

Rotation and flushing or Rapid feed back, the function corresponding to that sector is started. In other
cases, all drill actuations are stopped. If the actuations are stopped due to deactivation outside the
drilling sectors, the drill lever must be moved to the neutral sector before a new function can be
activated.
The collaring phase and increase of percussion pressure (Y101A) and feed pressure (Y103) must
always be completed when locking the drilling sector.

SmartRig Rock Drill Control

General
The SmartRig rock drill control is a system that by monitoring damper pressure, rotation pressure,
feed speed and adapting to rock conditions, to best utilize the COP rock drill in the most energy-
efficient way and thus achieving a longer life length for the rock drill, the drill strings and the drill bit.
The system is comprised of three control functions – proportional Damper Pressure Controlled Impact;
Feed Speed Controlled Impact; Rotation Pressure Controlled Feed with pressure and flow reguation,
which are adapted to different rock conditions. Explanation of each function is described in later
chapters.
Initiate system – Settings 1 menu

Drill control modes for operating in a specific rock condition can be selected from menu F2 under
Drill Control. In this menu the user can choose to which rock condition the rig should be adapted to.
There are four options: Off, Hard, Medium and Soft.
Soft: Soft rock mode – normal penetration rate: 2.5 – 4.0 meters/min.
This function is optimized for the soft rock types, which means that lower percussion
pressure is recommended and FSCI will start to reduce system parameters at 3.2
meter/min and cavity is detected at 4.5 meter/min. RPCF uses both pressure and flow
regulation.
Medium: Medium rock mode – normal penetration rate: 1.5 – 2.5 meter/min.
This function is optimized for the medium rock types, which means that higher percussion
pressure is recommended than for the soft rock mode and FSCI will start to reduce system
parameters at 2.2 meter/min and cavitiy is detected at 3.5 meter/min. RPCF uses both
pressure and flow regulation.
Hard: Hard rock mode – normal penetration rate: 0.5 – 1.5 meter/min.
This function is optimized for the hard rock types, which means that higher percussion
pressure is recommended and FSCI will start to reduce system paratmeters at 1.5
meter/min and cavity is detected at 2.5 meter/min. RPCF uses only pressure regulation.
Off: None of the rock modes are chosen in this case, which implies that functions such as
proportional DPCI, FSCI, RPCF with pressure & flow regulation and colour coding of the
gauges are all unavailable. Non-porportional DPCI, RPCF with only pressure control are
available.

Adjusting parameters
In order to adjust the parameters that control the SmartRig Rock Drill Control System, the operator
needs to log in as “AC” user. Adjustments and calibration can be done in menu
Drilling/Parameters/Drill Control under the condition that the user has chosen one of the three rock
conditions under Drill control in menu F2, i.e. hard, medium and soft. Otherwise the Drill Control
menu will appear as Damper menu.
Rock conditions chosen: (Hard, Medium, Soft) Non rock conditions chosen: (Off)
51
Colour coded gauges

The pressure gauges that are shown in menu F1 are: (from left) rotation pressure, percussion pressure
(Y100) and damper pressure (B132). The overall concept behind the colour coding is that the green
colour represents the recommended pressure levels. The yellow colour represents when some form of
regulation is going to take place. For Hard, Medium and Soft rock conditions, all three gauges are
being colour coded, otherwise only the rotation gauge will be colour coded.
Rotation gauge: The green section indicates the recommended rotation pressure. The start of the
green section is set by Min rotation pressure for percussion boost. The yellow
section indicates when the RPCF function reduces feed pressure (Y103) and/or
feed flow. At the end of the yellow section the system detects jamming and anti-
jamming functions will be initiated. The yellow section is set by parameters
Rotation pressure, drilling and Pressure increase, jamming.
Percussion gauge: The green section indicates the recommended percussion pressure (Y100) for
different rock conditions (hard, medium and soft). The default setting for the
percussion pressure (Y100) is centred in the green area. When no rock conditions
has been chosen, i.e. Drill control in menu F2 is set to Off, then no colour will be
shown in this gauge.
Damper gauge: The first yellow section indicates that the DPCI function is active and percussion
pressure (Y100) has been regulated. The start of the yellow section is set by
Damper pressure low percussion. The green section is the recommended damper
pressure (B132) which the operator should strive to keep. Should the average
damper pressure (B132) not be within the green section the feed pressure should
be changed to accomplish this. The green section is set by Damper pressure high
percussion and Damper pressure, boost. The second yellow section indicates that
the rock contact is more than sufficient and the system is allowed to boost the
percussion pressure (Y100). The end of the second yellow section is set by Max
damper pressure. When the operator has chosen the soft rock mode, then the
second yellow section is turned off, i.e. the boost function is not active in this
mode. When no rock conditions has been chosen, i.e. Drill control in menu F2 is
set to Off, then no colour will be shown in this gauge.
52
Icons
The following icons are used in connection with the SmartRig Rock Drill Control system:
Icon Symbolize Description Colour Type

Cavity has been The symbol is shown in the status bar Yellow Warning
detected when cavity is detected. It is turned off
when the end of cavity is detected.
Mode option They symbol is shown in the menu for
dependent parameter parameters to indicate which parameters
are mode dependent.
Hard rock mode The symbol is shown in the status bar Green Info
when hard rock mode is chosen.
Medium rock mode The symbol is shown in the status bar Green Info
when medium rock mode is chosen.
Soft rock mode The symbol is shown in the status bar Green Info
when soft rock mode is chosen.
Function priorities
The typical characteristic for the system is that there is not any special priority among the functions,
the principle is that the “lowest calls”. This means that the function which let out the lowest value for
percussion pressure or feed pressure gets the highest priority. For example when the drill bit comes
into an area with loose rock, the damper pressure will decrease where as the penetration rate will
increase. If the DPCI function wants to reduce the percussion pressure to 160 bar while the FSCI
function wants to reduce the percussion pressure to 150 bar, then then pressure will be set to 150 bar.
All the rock drill control functions (RPCF, DPCI and FSCI) are active during full drilling in locked
position but only RPCF (pressure and flow controlled) function is already activated during collaring
phase.
53
Damper
Damper
General
The rock drill’s damper circuit is supplied with oil from pump 1 via a constant flow regulator. The
flow regulator is adjusted to a pressure of 35 bar at the damper hose connection on the rock drill. The
damper pressure during drilling displays the actual drill force at the drill bit, and the percussion
pressure is controlled with the help of the damper pressure. The pressure can be read on the display in
the cab. (See figure.)
Damper pressure
Flow regulator
B132
Adjusting damper pressure

Damper pressure must be adjusted with the damper piston in the floating position, i.e. the piston is not
at either end position but floating in between. To ensure that the piston is in the floating position, pull
the shank adapter out as far as possible. Only adjust the damper pressure when the hydraulic oil is at
normal operating temperature, 40°C (104°F).
1. Connect a pressure gauge between the damper hose connection and the damper hose on the
rock drill.
2. Start the diesel engine and let it run at 1500 rpm.
3. Make sure that the shank adapter is fully withdrawn, i.e. the damper piston is in the floating
position.
4. Put the rig in drilling mode.
5. Undo the lock screw on the knob and adjust the damper pressure by turning the knob:
clockwise to lower the pressure and anticlockwise to raise it.
6. Tighten the lock screw once the pressure is correct.
The pressure gauge connected at the damper connection should read 30-35 bar for a COP 1800. The
pressure on the display in the cab should be approx. 40 bar. (See image of display above.)
The pressure for normal drilling is between 35 and 120 bar.
Note: Percussion is stopped if the damper pressure exceeds 120 bar.
54
DPCI
DPCI
The Damper Pressure Controlled Impact (DPCI) system protects the percussion. DPCI must be active
if percussion can be activated, except for percussion release with lever button Z2. If percussion is to be
activated or is activated (Y101A), the damper must be in operating mode. The DPCI function means
that percussion can only be activated when the damper pressure (B132) is within the range Min
damper pressure to Max damper pressure. The DPCI system works in two different ways depends on
if any rock conditions has been chosen.
Drill control mode: Off

The percussion switches from low to high if the damper pressure exceeds Damper pressure high
percussion (55 bar) when the drill lever is in sector S1-Drilling, or when the operator has himself
decided to switch by moving the drill lever from sector S4-Collaring to S1-Drilling if the damper
pressure satisfies the condition above. The percussion switches from high to low if the damper
pressure exceeds Damper pressure low percussion (45 bar). The preceding settings can be adjusted in
menu Drilling/Parameters/Damper.
Drill control mode: Hard, Medium, Soft

The DPCI function now uses 4 parameters to control the percussion pressure. The parameters Max
damper pressure and Min damper pressure indicate the safety levels. Should damper pressure (B132)
exceed any of the two levels during drilling, percussion (Y101A) will then be deactivated. The DPCI
function starts to control percussion pressure after collaring sequence is done. If the damper pressure
(B132) is lower than Damper pressure low percussion, then the percussion pressure is set to
Percussion pressure, collaring. Between the levels Damper pressure low percussion and Damper
pressure high percussion, the percussion pressure (Y100) is proportionally controlled by the damper
pressure. It is first when damper pressure (B132) exceeds Damper pressure high percussion, then
percussion pressure (Y100) is set to Percussion pressure, drilling. In the system there is a limit that
controls the uprising of percussion pressure (Y100) to be not faster than Ramp time, percussion
pressure, can be set in menu Drilling/Parameter/Timers, but there is no limit on how fast the
percussion pressure (Y100) can be reduced. Example on the regulation can be seen in the figure
below.

DPCI
In the situation where the drill bit suddenly comes into a section of the rock layer which is obviously
harder than the other parts of the rock formation, which can lead to that the shock wave produced is
not enough to crack the rock. Then there is an additional function to DPCI whose function is to boost
the percussion pressure (Y100) further from pressure level Percussion pressure, drilling. The pressure
boost starts when damper pressure (B132) exceeds level Damper pressure, boost, and the increase of
percussion pressure (Y100) is proportional to the damper pressure (B132) using the same slope which
has been calculated from the main DPCI function. The maximum boost of the percussion pressure
(Y100) above level Percussion pressure, drilling is set by the parameter Percussion pressure, boost.
To minimize the risk that this function would still be used when drilling with an over drilled bit, there
is a condition that the rotation pressure (B101) should be above level Min rotation pressure for
percussion boost.

FSCI
FSCI
General
FSCI (Feed Speed Controlled Impact) is a function that handles the situation when the drill bit comes
into a softer rock layer or pure cavity. When this happens the rock drill penetration rate will increase
and there is a risk that the flushing air can no longer transport away the dusts or severe hole deviation
might occur, which in turn can result in jamming and shorter life length for the equipments. The
function is inactive under normal conditions, it is first when penetration rate increases to a level which
is no longer considered as a normal rate, then this function starts to work.
There are two steps for this function, in the first step the penetration rate controls the feed pressure and
the percussion pressure. In the second step a lower feed speed is set until then the drill bit is once
again in contact with the homogeneous rock and hopefully one has avoided jamming and/or hole
collapse.
Function
The first step of the function starts to work when penetration rate exceeds Penetration rate, high
percussion, this value should be set to a value that is above what one would consider as a normal
penetration rate. Between the levels Penetration rate, high percussion and Penetration rate, low
percussion, the percussion pressure (Y100) and the feed pressure (Y103) are proportionally controlled
by the feed speed. An example on this application can be seen between points 1 and 2 in the figure
below. In this case the penetration rate first increases which result in lowering of both feed pressure
(Y103) and percussion pressure (Y100). When the penetration rate has once again slowed down, feed
pressure and percussion pressure follows as well, and at point 2 they are back to their normal values.

If these measures would not be enough and penetration rate exceeds level Penetration rate, low
percussion, then it is supposed that the drill bit has hit cavity and the function goes over to step two. In
this case the penetration rate (Y104A) is set to Feed speed, cavity and even percussion pressure
(Y100) and feed pressure (Y103) are set to collaring levels. In connection with the cavity detection, a
cavity symbol is lit on the display. The parameter Feed speed, cavity should be set in such way that it
corresponds to a speed which is somehow higher than Penetration rate, high percussion. The end of
cavity is detected when penetration rate becomes lower than Penetration rate, high percussion and
that damper pressure (B132) exceeds level Damper pressure low percussion, and then normal drilling
resumes.
An example of this application can be seen between points 3 and 5 in the figure above. At point 3, the
penetration rate starts to increase which results in lowered percussion pressure (Y100) and feed
pressure (Y103). At point 4, both the percussion pressure (Y100) and the feed pressure (Y103) have
been reduced to collaring level and cavity is detected. At this point the penetration rate (Y104A) is set
to Feed speed, cavity, the percussion pressure (Y100) and feed pressure (Y103) are also locked to
collaring level at the same time. At point 5 when the drill bit reaches the homogenous rock and the
collaring percussion pressure can no longer keep up with the penetration rate; when the damper
pressure (B132) lies above Damper pressure low percussion and the penetration rate is below level
Penetration rate, high percussion, this marks the end of the cavity, normal drilling (see chapter
“DPCI”) is re-applied, and the feed pressure starts to increase to Feed pressure, drilling.
60
FSCI
During full drilling, the penetration rate which is calculated with the help of drill length/depth controls
the feed pressure (Y103) via I/O module D101 and contact X4a, and the percussion pressure (Y100)
via I/O module D510 and contact X4a.
When cavity is detected, the penetration rate (Y104A) is lowered to Feed speed, cavity via I/O module
D101 and contact X21a, which means that the solenoid valve (Y104A) is being restricted since the
actuation signal to the valve (in Ampere) has been reduced.

The following parameters can be adjusted in menu Drilling/Parameters/Drill Control/FSCI.
Penetration rate, high percussion:

Is the feed speed which indicates the starting point at which percussion pressure (Y100) and
feed pressure (Y103) should start to be reduced. This value should be set somehow above of
what can be considered as a normal penetration rate. This parameter is drill mode dependent.
Penetration rate, low percussion:
Is the feed speed which indicates the stage at which percussion presssure (Y100) and feed
pressure (Y103) should be fully reduced to collaring level, and this is also the speed when
cavity is detected. This parameter is drill mode dependent.
Feed speed drill, cavity:
Indicates the feed speed (Y104A) when cavity is detected. Should be set so that the speed is
somehow above level Feed speed, high percussion. This parameter is drill mode dependent.
The parameters can be set with help from the calibration function in menu Drilling/Parameter/Drill
Control/Calibration.

FSCI
Feed speed calibration

It has been shown from earlier tests that it could be difficult to set valve actuations for the feed flow
(Y104A) so that a special speed is achieved. Therefore a calibration function has been introduced that
calibrates cavity speeds (Y104A) for the different rock conditions. When the speed has stabilized
within +/- 0.2 m/min from the desired speed, the valve actuation is then saved. All calibration is done
with feed pressure (Y103) set to 70 bar.
In order to calibrate, check first that the oil has reached the working temperature, then remove the drill
steel that is connected to the rock drill so the feed is empty. Then put the feed in vertical position and
back up the rock drill to its end position. Push the button Start calibration and then the function starts.
The function will automatically go further to the next speed when the first speed is really calibrated,
when all the speeds are done then the functions ends and a pop-up message is shown on the display.
The calibration can be cancelled at any time by quickly push in and release the lever buttons Z1 or Z2
on the drill lever.
63
RPCF
RPCF
General
The purpose of the RPCF function (Rotation Pressure Controlled Feed) is to protect the threads of the
drill steel from over tightening when rotation pressure increases, due to deviation or difficult rock
conditions. The result of having a too high screwing torque on the threads is that it can be difficult for
the threads to come loose, which results in higher percussion pressure during percussion release, thus
leading to a shorter life length.
In order to start use the RPCF function, it must be selected in quick menu F2.
Drill control mode: Off

RPCF controls the feed pressure (Y103) to maintain a constant rotation pressure (rotation torque). If
the rotation pressure (B101) exceeds Rotation pressure, drilling, the feed pressure will be reduced.
The feed pressure will always lie between the values for Min feed pressure, drilling and Feed
pressure, drilling.
To start the RPCF function, drill lever must be in the Drilling sector or locked in the same sector.
Ramping of percussion pressure (Y100) and feed pressure (Y103) must have finished.
64
RPCF
Drill control mode: Hard, Medium, Soft

The RPCF function starts to work when rotation pressure (B101) exceeds level Rotation pressure,
drilling. Then the feed pressure (Y103) is lowered proportionally by the increasing rotation pressure.
When the rotation pressure reaches level 1 in the figure below, then the feed pressure (Y103) is
reduced to level Min feed pressure, drilling. At this stage the control for feed function goes from
pressure regulation to flow regulation.

2 Pressure increase, jamming

Rotation pressure, drilling
When the control is gone over to flow regulation, the feed pressure (Y103) is kept constant at level
Min feed pressure, drilling and the flow (Y104A) to the feed motor or feed cylinder is proportionally
reduced by the increasing rotation pressure. This will even result in a decreasing penetration rate.
Should the rotation pressure reach level 2 in the figure above, the feed flow has been reduced so much
that the feed moves forwards with around 0.4 meter/min and future reducing of feed flow (Y104A)
will result in that the rock drill stops moving. At this stage the feed flow (Y104AY104B) starts to
change direction and slowly backing up the rock drill, even the pressure is changed and set to level
Max current, backward.
If the rotation pressure keeps increasing the feed flow (Y104B) will be increased which results in feed
speed backward for the rock drill will increase. At pressure level Pressure increase, jamming,
jamming is detected and anti-jamming functions starts to work. The rotation pressure setting for
shifting between pressure- and flow regulation vary among different rock modes.
65
RPCF
In hard rock formation where penetration rate is relatively low, the flow regulation will not have much
effect. That is why this parameter for shifting is set to be the same value as Pressure increase,
jamming. This also means that flow regulation is out and it is only the feed pressure (Y103) that will
be reduced until jamming is detected.
During collaring and drilling, the rotation pressure sensor (B101) senses the rotation pressure applied
to the drilling, this information is sent to the application module D100 via I/O module D101 and
contact X6. The application module processes this information and then controls the actuation of the
feed pressure (Y103) via I/O module D101 and contact X4a. When the control for feed function goes
to flow regulation, the control is then gone over to the feed flow (Y104A) via I/O module D101 and
contact X21a.

Anti-jamming protection
General
The anti-jamming protection is an automatic monitoring function that must always be active during
drilling. The function can be disengaged from quick menu F2. The anti-jamming protection is tripped
by high rotation pressure (B101) or missing flushing air flow (B142).
High rotation pressure

Anti-jamming protection due to rotation pressure (B101) can only be activated in the sector for
collaring and drilling with reduced percussion, and the drilling sector, even when these are locked. The
rotation pressure (B101) is adjustable.
The anti-jamming protection is tripped when the read rotation pressure exceeds the limit for anti-
jamming. The anti-jamming limit is the sum of Rotation pressure, drilling + Pressure increase,
jamming.
No flushing air flow

Anti-jamming protection due to flushing air flow (B142) can only be activated in the sector for
collaring and drilling with reduced percussion, and the drilling sector, even when these are locked. In
addition, flushing air must be set to full flow.
The anti-jamming protection should trip when the flushing air switch (B142) indicates that the
flushing air flow is missing for more than Low flushing flow, detection time seconds.
Function
When the anti-jamming protection is activated, the rock drill backs off until jamming with regard to
both rotation pressure (B101) and flushing air (B142) ceases. The rock drill must always back off for
Min feed reversing time, when jamming. When the rock drill backs off, the conditions below apply. If
the drill does not unjam within the period Max feed reversing time, when jamming, all drilling
functions will stop (conditions as per sector S8).

Recovery
When the jamming conditions cease, the following occurs, depending on the drill sector that is active:

Switches directly to low percussion pressure (Y100) and low feed pressure (Y103). See description of
this sector.

Switches directly to low percussion pressure (Y100) and low feed pressure (Y103) corresponding to
the current lever position. See description of this sector.

Air system
Air system
Air system general
Compressed air is used for the following rig functions:
Flushing air: Used to transport cuttings from the hole up to the surface. Reduced flushing is
primarily used during collaring and drilling in porous or poor rock to prevent the air from
damaging the walls of the hole.
ECL, rock drill lubrication system
ECG, thread lubrication (option), see description under chapter “Options”.
DCT, dust collector
Watermist system (option), see description under chapter “Options”.
ECL, rock drill lubrication system

Function
ECL-pump Y106 starts to pump as soon as the flushing air is turned on at the set frequency
Frequcency Lubrication, ECL- pump. Lubrication oil is fed through a small plastic hose inside the air
hose to the rock drill, where the oil and air are mixed. A pressure reducing valve set to 5.5 bar limits
the amount of air used for the ECL system. The lubrication pressure gauge is located on the ECL
pump and the pressure is shown on the display. There are two sensor switches which control the ECL
oil collection pressure, B381 for limiting the low collection pressure and B382 for limiting the high
collection pressure.
The ECL-pump (Y106) can be activated manually from the menu system. If Activate ECL-pump
manually is selected in quick menu F2, the ECL-pump starts pumping with pulse at the set frequency
for the set time (max. 90 min.).
The pressure (B368) after the ECL-pump (Y106) is monitored during drilling. If the pressure is less
than Min ECL pressure following Time before ECL Guarding and for a longer period than Timeout
ECL pressure, drilling is stopped. A warning message is displayed.
The ECL-pump (Y106) will continue being active 60 seconds after flushing air is turned off.
CAN
The actuation signal for the ECL-pump (Y106) goes via I/O module D101 and contact X5a. Sensor
(B368) senses the ECL pressure and sends signals to the display in the cab via I/O module D511 and
contact X14, where this value can be read.
Signals for the ECL collection sensors (B381 and B382) are sent to the display in the cab via I/O
module D101 and contact X15a, X15b.

Air system
ECL collection
The system is monitored by two pressure sensors:

- Detects low pressure in the system (0.4 bar). The low pressure
indicator lamp will come on if the pressure is too low.
- If the indicator comes on, check the airflow through the system and
remove any impurities.
Indicator symbol: B382

B382
- Detects high pressure from the pressure sensors to the collecting
tank (1.5 bar). The high pressure indicator lamp will come on if the
B381
pressure is too high.
- If the indicator comes on, check the airflow through the system and
remove any impurities, in this case between the pressure sensor and
the collecting tank.
Indicator symbol:
ECG, thread lubrication (option)

Function
The ECG pump (Y107) starts to pump as soon as the flushing air is turned on at the set frequency
Frequcency Lubrication, ECG-pump. The ECG injects a small quantity of lubrication oil into the
flushing air. The oil creeps along the flushing hole in the drill rod out to the threaded joints.
The ECG-pump (Y107) can be activated manually from the menu system. If Activate ECG-pump
manually is selected in quick menu F2, the ECG-pump starts pumping with pulse at the set frequency
for the set time (max. 90 min.).
CAN
The actuation signal for the ECG-pump (Y107) goes via I/O module D101 and contact X5b.

DCT, dust collector

System startup
The DCT hatch (Y253) must be closed and the fan motor (Y250) must be off after system startup. The
button should be in position DCT-ON. No actuation should take place.
The fan motorn (Y250) gets activated when drilling mode is chosen.
DCT On/Off
The button is a toggle switch: DCT ON/DCT OFF.
If the function DCT ON is chosen, the valve for DCT hatch (Y253) gets activated at the same time
when rotation (Y102A) is activated, with the exception for sector threading. If DCT OFF is selected,
the DCT hatch must be closed.
Dust collection starts when the air cylinder opens the fan outlet hatch. This is controlled via the DCT
switch when the dust collector is in position ON, which in turn activates solenoid valve Y253 (DCT
hatch).

Calibration sensors
Calibration sensors
The feed beam has two calibration sensors. The upper sensor
(B127) calibrates the position of the rock drill cradle at startup.
The lower sensor (B122), along with the upper sensor, read off
the position of the rock drill cradle during drilling. These have
constant fixed values and can only calibrate in the downward
direction with an adequately low speed from the rock drill B172
cradle. Should these values deviate during drilling, the system
automatically sets the fixed value when the rock drill cradle is
in these positions. This is to prevent too large a deviation. If
the deviation is greater than 2 cm, this is entered into the event Calibration sensor
B127
log.
The position of the calibration sensors is measured in

centimetres from the edge of the steel plate on the rock drill
cradle (when this is in the upper position) to the centre of each
sensor. The distance to B127 is 123 cm and to B122 411 cm.
Sensor B172 is located on a coil which is connected to a wire

that in turn is connected to the rock drill cradle. The sensor
sends a number of pulse signals for each rotation of the coil.
This provides information on where the rock drill cradle is on
the feed beam.
CAN
Sensor B172 senses where on the feed beam the rock drill
cradle is. It sends pulse signals via a converter (A85) and then
to I/O module D102 and contact X12 to the display in the cab.
B127 and B122 send signals via I/O module D102 and contact
X11.
Calibration sensor
The display shows cradle position on the feed beam and the B122
distance to the upper and lower calibration sensors (see figure).
74
Length measurement
Length measurement
Hole depth measurement
Data from pulse sensor B172 (see previous chapter) is processed to measure hole length/depth, with a
stop signal for drilling sent when the set length/depth is reached. The number of drilled metres is
logged. The average drill rate/percussion minutes is also shown in the menu system. The hole
length/depth can be reset from the menu system. Press the button on the display or the keypad on the
armrest.
For each drill hole:

Desired hole depth (0-99.9 m)
Current hole length (0-99.9 m)
Current feed angle (0-360º)
Drill rate, entire drill hole (0-99.9 m/min)
Drill rate, accumulated average (0-99.9 m/min)
System startup
The pulse sensor B172 (see figure under chapter “Calibration sensors”) is uncalibrated at startup. The
current hole depth is stored so that the system can be restarted with the drill bit in the same position as
when the system was stopped.
Initial calibration of the length sensor

Calibration sensor B127 for the pulse sensor is located just below M4. This means that the sensor can
be activated if the machine positions are calibrated before the drill bit reaches the rock. Before
proximity sensor B127 is activated for the first time, the feed speed is limited for more accurate
calibration. If Emergency mode, Length Sensor is selected from the F2 menu, calibration is ignored.
Conditions for measurement

Pulse sensor B172 must be calibrated
Hold depth counter must be reset
Drilling in downward direction
Percussion activated M6 M5 M4 M3 M2 M1
Start of measurement
The hole depth meter starts when the hole length/depth is reset. If the hole depth counter has been
blocked, it is restarted when the upper drill steel support is opened.
Blocking measurement
The hole depth counter can be stopped during the rod adding phase. It is stopped when the drill lever is
activated for unthreading. The desired hole depth/length can be changed at any point during the
drilling phase.
Conditions for blocking

Closed drill steel support
Drill lever activated for unthreading
Backing off
The hole depth/length is locked for backing off. The system displays the position of the drill bit.

RHS, Rod handling system

General
The functions for the various rod handling movements are controlled manually with the drill levers in
the cab (see image of levers) or automatically by pressing the RHS button on the drill panel in the cab.
All actuation signals go via I/O modules out to the rod handling system. There are a number of sensors
on the feed beam that then detect the activities in the system and send signals via I/O modules to the
display in the cab. (See the explanation of how the sensors work at the end of this chapter.)
Conditions for RHS functions:

The rig must be controlled from the cab.
Note: The operator must be seated in the operator's seat. There is a sensor (B379) in the seat that
senses whether it is occupied. The RHS functions will not work if this sensor is not activated. The
sensor sends signals via I/O module D511 and contact X11a out to the system.
System pressure
The RHS block is designed to cope with pressures up to 250 bar. Therefore, the block does not require
a pressure limiting valve. There is however a separate pressure control valve that limits the maximum
pressure, i.e. regulates the speed of the RHS arm, as well as a pressure control valve for the suction
hood and a pressure limiting valve for the gripper function. (See hydraulic diagram.)
Upper drill steel support

If the lever on the right of the left-hand armrest is moved forward, the upper drill steel support closes
(Y361A) with self-holding. Self-holding is disengaged by opening the drill steel support.
If the lever on the right of the left-hand armrest is moved backward, the upper drill steel support opens
(Y361B). Opening should only occur if the lever is activated. (See figure of levers.) The actuation
signal for closed drill steel support (Y361A) goes via I/O module D102 and contact X22a. The
actuation signal for open drill steel support (Y361B) goes via I/O module D102 and contact X22b.
Lower drill steel support

If the lever on the right of the left-hand armrest is moved forward with the lever button depressed, the
lower drill steel support closes (Y350A) with self-holding. Self-holding is disengaged by opening the
drill steel support. If the lever on the right of the left-hand armrest is moved backward with the lever
button depressed, the lower drill steel support opens (Y350). Opening should only occur if the lever is
activated. (See figure of levers.) The actuation signal for closed drill steel support goes via I/O module
D102 and contact X2b. The actuation signal for open drill steel support goes via I/O module D102 and
contact X2a.

Carousel rotation
Carousel rotation is controlled by valves Y303A and B. Valve Y303A controls rotation clockwise and
valve Y303B rotation anticlockwise. Two throttle valves limit rotation speed. (See figure.) The
actuation signal for rotation goes via I/O module D102 and contact X23. Sensors detects whether
rotation is clockwise or anticlockwise. Sensor B183 detects clockwise rotation and sends signals via
I/O module D102 and contact X24b to the display in the cab. Sensor D182 detects anticlockwise
rotation and sends signals via I/O module D102 and contact X24a.

The RHS cylinders are controlled by the solenoid valves Y301A and Y301B. Y301A moves the RHS
arm to the carousel and Y301B moves the arm to drill centre. There is a pressure control valve that
limits the maximum pressure to 170 bar, and, as for carousel rotation, there are four throttle valves that
control cylinder speed. The output signal for valve Y301A goes via I/O module D102 and contact
X20a. The output signal for valve Y301B goes via I/O module D102 and contact X20b. Sensors
(B118 and B120) detect whether the RHS arm is in carousel or drill centre position. Sensor B120
senses whether the arm is at drill sensor and sends signals via I/O module D102 and contact X15b to
the display. Sensor B118 senses whether the arm is in the carousel and sends signals via I/O module
77
D102 and contact X15a to the display. B118 must be activated, i.e. the RHS arms must be in the
carousel, to permit max. feed pressure and percussion. If B118 is not activated, only threading, slow
drill feed, and RHS feed are possible.

Gripper claws (on RHS arms)

The gripper claws are controlled by valves Y300 and Y306, which are controlled with the left-hand
lever on the left-hand control panel. (See figure of drill levers.)
Open gripper claws

The gripper claws are opened by pressing the lever button on the left-hand lever. To move the RHS
arm to drill centre, pull the lever towards you (down) keeping the button pressed to keep the claws
open. To move the arm to the carousel move the lever up. Valve Y300 controls the gripper claws in
this case, and the output signal goes via I/O module D102 and contact X5b.
Loose grip
Conditions for loose grip:
RHS arm in drill centre position
Control lever in neutral position. (Sensor B118 not activated)
Loose grip is controlled by valve Y306 and a pressure limiting valve that limits the pressure to 10 bar.
The actuation signal for loose grip goes via I/O module D102 and contact X5a.
Y306
10bar
78
Tight grip
Conditions for tight grip:
One carousel rotation sequence must have been completed.
The gripper claws grip tight when valves Y300 and Y306 are not activated. For a tight grip in the
carousel, move the RHS lever forward. For a tight grip at drill centre, move the lever backward.
Suction hood
Y357A and Y357B raise and lower the suction hood. A pressure limiting valve limits the maximum
pressure to 30 bar for suction hood down. The output signal goes via I/O module D102 and contact
X21. (See hydraulic diagram)
There follows a brief description of how the sensors on the D7C work:
B118 This sensor detects when the rod

handing arm is in the carousel. This sensor
must be activated to enable percussion
during drilling.
B120 This sensor detects when the rod

handling arm is at drill centre.
B172
B182 is activated when the carousel has
rotated towards the grippers and has stopped
in the correct position for the removal of a B127
drill steel to drill centre.
B183 is activated when the carousel has

rotated away from the grippers and has
stopped in the correct position for the return
of a new drill steel from drill centre to the
carousel.
B122 is a calibration sensor that, along with

B127, detects where on the feed beam the
rock drill cradle is during drilling. The sensor
has a constant value, and should the value
deviate during drilling the system
automatically sets the constant value.
B118
B127 is a calibration sensor that detects the
B120
position of the rock drill cradle. This sensor
has a constant value and can only be
calibrated in the downward direction.
B172 This sensor detects where the rock drill B122

B182
cradle is on the feed beam. (For more B183
information, see under ”Calibration
sensors”.)

Summery of error messanges during auto RHS

Error type:
System error Internal error in the RCS, system, e.g. corrupt memory or general
hareward problem, i.e. mekanic, electric, electrical or hydraulic.
Setting error The rig is not set correctly. An invalid, corrupt och faulty
parameter file read.
Operation disorder A error has been detected without falling into any of the above
mentioned categories.
Error messages:
Text on display: AutoRhs Error: Cradle is beyond desired position

Error classification: System error/Setting error
Description/Cause of error:
This fault control is used in today’s situation when the cradle should be rapid fed to M6 e.g. after
unthreading in the drill steel support. The cradle should normally be situated at the lowest part of the
feed (M1) and it can not reasonably situate itself over M6. But if e.g. the rigs’ parameters are totally
set wrong, this error could happen.
Text on display: AutoRhs Error: RHS Arms not in carousel center

Indication obtained if the RHS arms are not situated in the carousel center as expected.
Sensor fault/cable breakage or similar is most likely the fault.
Text on display: AutoRhs Error: RHS Arms are not in drill center
Indication obtained if the RHS arms are not situated in the drill center as expected.
Sensor fault/cable breakage or similar is most likely the fault.
Text on display: AutoRhs Error: Cradle stucked while moving to specific position
A continuious fault control which is carried out while the cradle is being moved on the feed.
If the cradle get stucked (speed=0) before it reaches the goal, the actuation should be stopped as soon
as possible.
80
Text on display: AutoRhs Error: No reattempts left

Error classification: Operation disorder/System error/Setting error
There are few causes behind this error message. Somewhere during the rod changing the automation
has gotten problem. In most of the cases the problem can be skipped and the system would continue as
nothing has happened, but sometimes it does not work despite of repeated reattempts. What this error
message is telling is actually only the number of attempts used for this time. Note that the counter
always sets itself back to zero when the condition is broken, e.g. Unthread → Back up to M6 → Start
thread rotation → Start thread feeding etc. So even if the automation has succeeded e.g. unthread on
the last attempt, the next new rod gets its new number of attempts on the upcoming partical sequence.
Text on display: AutoRhs Error: Upper thread end-point passed

When the shank adapter reaches the upper capsule there is an important measure “Absolute distance to
upper capsule” which keeps tracks of pressure increase does not happen too early. This error case kan
even occur when the above mentioned parameter is keeping tracks of the pressure increase with the
consequence that the system thinks that there is a good margin of distance below the rod and no
preassure increase have been registered within the set distance. This error message can even occur if
one rod is missing.
Text on display: AutoRhs Error: Lower thread end-point passed

Description/Cause or error:
No rotation- damper- or feed pressure increase has been registered within the expected distance. This
error message can even occur if one rod is missing.
Text on display: AutoRhs Error: Thread end-pint reached with high damper or feeder press
The thread has probably misst the capsule completely and and trying to push itself into the e.g. upper
drill steel support. The automation should be interrupted immediately because the situation can not be
saved.

I/O Module, CAN bus
I/O Module, CAN bus

General
The CAN bus system comprises a CAN loop that transmits information between the display in the cab
and the function blocks. The CAN loop is connected to a number of I/O modules. These modules have
a number of contacts that act as inputs and outputs. These modules and contacts are activated
differently depending on the actuation signals and what sensor information is sent.
Note: Information can pass an I/O module without this been activated. There are several modules on a
CAN loop and each module has a specific address, as does the information. Information sent for I/O
module three in the series will simply pass the two first modules to then be accepted by the third
module, which has the correct address code.

I/O Module, CAN bus
The red symbol in the lower right corner

indicates that there is one or more modules
which do not have contact with the system,
or the module has a fault. This is especially
helpful in a CAN system which has more
modules than what the display can show at
the same time. In such case the hidden
modules can be reached by using the arrow
buttons. When all the modules work
normally the symbol turns yellow.
General and specific settings for modules and angle sensors

Settings must generally be made on modules and angle sensors that replace components on the rig.
This must be done before the rig is recommissioned after repairs. Angle sensors must also be
calibrated, see the operator's manual.
NOTE: Modules and angle sensors are not set on delivery ex-works.
Modules and angle sensors must be set as follows:

(A more detailed description of how the system is connected with address codes and numbers is
provided in the signal diagram and signal list that are appended this system description.)

Watermist system (option)
The watermist system is used to stabilize the drill hole when drilling through loose and porous rock by
adding water to the flushing air. The system is located at the back of the rig (see overview for exact
location). In general, a small amount of water is use to wet the drill cuttings and bind these into larger
particles to reduce dust, or to bind the dust to the hole walls to stabilize the hole. The amount of water
is controlled by the two directional valves and an adjustable damper as follows:
Full water flow is used only for short intervals to flush water onto dry clay to build sludge that
can be used for stabilizing the hole. Both directional valves, Y112A and Y112B, are open.
Watermist system: When directional valve Y112A is open and Y112B is closed, the amount of
water is controlled by an adjustable valve 15.
OFF: Both directional valves, Y112A and Y112B, are closed.

Laser sensor (option)

Laser sensor (B316) on the rock drill cradle sends in data signals via I/O module D102 and contact X6
which are processed by the display for showing the correct hole length/hole depth information as per
preview.
The laser sensor is most often used in undulating terrain to maintain as level a hole bottom as possible
for blasting.
Laser sensor position
Laser level

10m
Hole bottom
Ex:
A rotary laser is placed at the highest point in the area. From here, the depth to hole bottom is
measured (in this case 10 m). When the rotary laser hits the sensor (B316) on the rock drill cradle, the
length between the sensor and drill bit (in this case 4 m) is automatically shown on the display,
irrespective of how many metres have been drilled. This is done every time the hole depth is reset. In
this case, we know that there are 6 metres left to hole bottom (10-4=6 m).
The settings for the laser sensor function can be found in the F2 menu. The function is activated by
checking the box for “Laser Plane”. The distance between laser sensor and the drill bit as mentioned
above can be entered in the box for “Dist. Laser Sens. to Drill Bit”.
If the rig has been moved to a lower drill plane where the laser sensor also has to be moved to a lower
level. The operator can just enter the height difference between the original laser plane and the
lowered laser plane, without having to change the desired drill depth. This can be entered in the box
for “Dist. To Ref. Laser Plane”.

Winch (Remote control box, option)

Conditions for using the winch:
S130 must remain in position for tramming.
The remote control box (A60) must be activated. Make sure the switch in the cab and the switch
on the box are in position for remote control.
Make sure the winch switch is in the correct position (S172).
Use the winch motor switch (S173) to reel the cable in and out.
or
The winch can be automatically activated by using the tramming levers on the remote control
box.
See the operator's manual for instructions on activation and deactivation.
The winch's hydraulic circuit includes functions for reeling in and out the cable, regulating the pulling
force of the winch and release of the winch brake.
The system has a protection device that protects the winch in the event of a fault. This is controlled by
relay S464 and via I/O module D101 and contact X11a. When the protection device is activated (I/O-
D101X11a), the winch in signal I/O-D511X1a is blocked. Only the winch out function is possible.

Winch block
The winch's hydraulic circuit includes functions for reeling in and out the cable, regulating the pulling
force of the winch and release of the winch brake and plunger. The block comprises solenoid valve
Y209 (controls brake disc release), Y215 (activates tramming with winch), Y224 (controls the winch
plunger), two pressure relief valves that limit the maximum pressure (125 bar), a remote-controlled
proportional pressure relief valve (Y214) for controlling the pulling force, and Y208A (winch in) and
Y208B (winch out) which are control valves for the directional valve.
Solenoid valves Y208A and B control the directional valve (see figure) as follows:
Unreeling the cable: Solenoid valve Y208B and brake release valve Y209 are activated
simultaneously by switch S173 on the remote control box. Unwinding can also be done manually with
switch S500, which activates valve Y224 to release the winch plunger.
Reeling in the cable: Solenoid valve Y208A and brake release valve Y209 are activated
simultaneously, either manually by using switch S173 or automatically which happens when the rig is
trammed from the remote control box.
Manual: Switch S173 activates the valves abovementioned valves and closes the flow to the
proportional relief valve Y215. Subsequently, the pressure is being limited to 125 bar by one
of the pressure relief valve. (See figure)
Automatic: Solenoid valves Y208A and Y209 are activated automatically when the tramming
lever on the remote control box is operated (forward or backward). Valve Y215 is activated
for tramming with the winch. A counter pressure builds up (manually set on Y214 + spring
force) that helps open pressure relief valve (A) to the tank. The pressure is then determined by
the remote controlled proportional pressure relief valve (Y214). This relief valve is adjusted
manually with the potentiometer on the remote control box.

Options
Extraction unit (option)

The extractor unit is used when the rock conditions vary a lot and there is a large risk of jamming. The
function of the extractor unit is to provide reverse percussion to the shank adapter and thus the drill
sting and drill bit. The shank adapter for rock drills equipped with an extractor unit has a special
flange that receives the reverse percussion force. Since the shank adapter is pressed into the rock drill
by the feed force during normal drilling, it works without the flange meeting the extractor piston.
Conditions for extractor unit:

Percussion must be activated.
For the extractor unit to be activated, the conditions stated

above must be fulfilled. When there is a risk of jamming,
activate drill feed backward. The pilot pressure is then led via a
throttle valve (ø2.0) that alters the pressure, and then on through Y159
valve Y159 that controls the extractor unit. (See figure)
CAN
The output signal for the extractor unit (Y159) goes via I/O
module D101 and contact X2a.

activated. The ECG injects a small amount of lubricating oil
into the flushing air. The oil creeps along the walls of the
flushing hole and out into the threaded joints.
Atlas Copco recommends COPOIL for all ECG and ECL
lubrication.
CAN
The output signal for the ECG pump (Y107) goes via I/O
module D101 and contact X5b.

Thread lubrication with brushes (option)

Function
The drill steel threads are lubricated with two brushes (A) located on the lower part of the feed beam,
between the carousel and drill steel support. The drill steel passes these prior to threading.
The grease is supplied by a pump placed in the front of the wagon frame. The pump is powered by
compressed air from the rig’s compressor, and is controlled by solenoid valve Y552. Valve Y552 can
be activated automatically or manually, and is controlled by the following buttons on the right drill
panel.
Thread lubrication, automatic Thread lubrication, manual
Operation
Under normal conditions, the system operates automatically. The
lubricant pump is activated when the rod handling process is in
position to move a drill steel to drill centre (tight grip). The result
is that every time a drill steel is removed from the carousel, a
quantity of lubricant is pumped into the brushes that the threads of
the drill steel pass through.
If further lubrication is required, the system can be operated
manually. In such a case, the lubricant pump is activated so long
as the button for manual thread lubrication is depressed.
If thread lubrication is not required, the system can be switched
off with the buttons for thread lubrication.
The maximum pressure to the pump is adjusted to 7.5 bars by the

pressure regulator 3. (See figure) The system can be switched off by
blocking the air supply with ball cock valve 8 or by the electrical
switch on the diesel panel.
We recommend the use of Atlas Copco Secoroc thread lubricant A for

the lubrication of drill steel threads.
