REHS7414 18 January 2012 Special Instruction i04694729 Autonomous Stop (A-Stop) System for Autonomous Hauling SMCS Code: Off-Highway Truck/Tractor 793D (S/N: FDB1-Up) 793F (S/N: SSP1-Up; RBT1-Up) 797F (S/N: LAJ1-Up) Table of Contents Introduction ........................................................... 1 Overview ............................................................... 1 A-Stop Operation .................................................. 3 Stopping ............................................................ 4 Clearing an A-Stop ............................................ 5 Resuming Autonomous Operation .................... 5 Testing the A-Stop System ................................... 5 Electrical Input Components ................................. 5 Autonomous Stop Receivers ............................. 5 Electrical Output Components .............................. 6 A-Stop Transmitter ............................................ 6 Introduction This document contains operational information about the A-Stop System. Note:This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at their own expense. Note:Modifications not expressly approved by the manufac turer could void the user's authority to operate the equipment under FCC rules. Overview g027 99169 Illustration 1 Tabl e1 CalloutButtonDescription 1 A-Stop Button Used to transmit an A-Stop Signal received by all autonomous machines within range. The A-Stop signal will continue to transmit until the A-Stop Reset (2) is pressed. (1) (continued) 1 (Table 1, contd) Callout ButtonDescription 2 A-Stop Reset Button Used to stop transmitting the A-Stop signal. The A-Stop Reset button (2) will only stop the transmission of the A-Stop signal, this button will not clear an effected machine to resume operation. 3Clear Button Used to signal all machines in theareathat those machines can resume autonomous operation. Each transmitter that has signaled an A-stop must be pressed before the effect machine can resume operation. (2) 4Test Button Used to initiate an A-Stop system test between the transmitter and all autonomous machines in range of the transmitter. The test button (4) is amomentary switch 5 Alarm Silence Used to silence the audible alarm during an A-Stop event. 6 Battery Charge Indicators Used to show status of the transmitter battery. 7Charging Port Used to charge the transmitter. (1) Only the transmitter that sent the A-Stop signal can cancel the A-Stop command. (2) Pressing the clear button (3) does not allow the truck to resume the task it was assigned before the A-Stop was initiated. The clear button (3) only allows the truck to receive another assignment. MineStar must be used to assign an autonomous ready truck after an A-Stop event. The autonomous stop (A-Stop) system is used to stoptheautonomoustrucksintheareaincaseof emergency or un planned need. The system sends a radio signal to all the trucks within the operating range of the handheld transmitter. The communications of the A-Stop sys tem operate independently from the normal autonomy system and can be used even if MineStar cannot communicate with the truck. Each person working in the area of autonomous operation shall be issued an A-Stop transmitter and is required t o carry the transmitter at all times. g02799149 Illustration 2 Receiver Each autonomous haul truck has two receivers which operate on different data links. The receivers are powered by the machine and send out a heartbeat message to the truck under normal operation. 2 A-Stop Operation g02728442 Illustration 3 Single transmitter in operation (1) Autonomous machines with on-board A-Stop receiver Illustration 3 shows three Autonomous machines with on-board A-Stop receivers. Theflashing light on the A-Stop remote indicates that an A-Stop has been activated. The large circle in the illustration is the range of the A-Stop remote. In the illustration, the three Autonomous machines that are in range of the A-Stop remote are stopped due to the A-Stop button that was pressed. 3 g02727922 Illustration 4 Multiple transmitters in operation (1) Autonomous machines with on-board A-Stop receiver Once an A-Stop event has occurred, any machines in the range of the remote transmitter will be stopped for as long as the remote is transmitting. A β€œClear” signal will need to be sent before any of the machines affected will be able to resume normal operation. When more than one remote is activated at once, all remotes that sent an A-Stop command will need to send a β€œClear” signal. Refer to Illustration 4 for an example of multiple transmitters in operation at once. Stopping g02742797 Illustration 5 4 When a truck receives an A-Stop stop signal, the truck immediately initiates a controlled stop. While the truck is in a utonomous mode with A-Stop active, the autonomous mode and A-Stop lights will be flashing. Refer to Illustration 5 for an example. Clearing an A-Stop g02742856 Illustration 6 The truck identifies and records which transmitter or transmitters have initiated the A-Stop. The truck can only resume autonomous operation when an A-Stop clear message is received from all the transmitters that the truck received a stop message from. Once the truck has received a clear message from every transmitter that the truck received a stop message from, the truck will deactivate the A-Stop and the A-Stop light with stopflashing. Refer to Illustration 6 for an example. R…
