Storage of data storage media
Storage and transport
This chapter contains important information on correct storage and
secure transport of the PMC® components. Observance of the
instructions and manuals will increase the service life and reliability
of the system components. Reading this chapter thoroughly will
help you to make your day-to-day work easier.
Notice!
Never store PMC® components and other electronic equipment
outdoors under any circumstances.
In this operating manual, the storage of data storage media, the
creation of backup copies and the archiving of software are
specifically addressed.
Important!
Every data storage medium and the corresponding
reading/writing device might have its own information material
and operating manuals which should be read carefully. These
instructions only provide a few general tips for storing data
storage media.
Storage of data storage media
E
If software is not copied via data lines, the following types of data
Bucyrus DBT Europe GmbH, Lünen 2008
storage media are generally used:
J Diskettes
J CD or DVD
J Exchangeable disk media (for example, external USB hard
disk)
Diskettes
The following damage diskettes or the stored data:
damaging effects J Dirt and dust
J Magnetic fields
J Sunlight
J Heat (> 50 °C)
J Cold (< 10 °C)
J Moisture
J Bending the diskette
best storage place The best place to store diskettes is in plastic or cardboard sleeves
in a dust- and dirt-free, lockable metal cabinet in an air-conditioned
room.
not a durable Diskettes can be stored for up to 5 years, depending on the storage
storage medium place, but they can be very easily damaged and are therefore not
to be considered to be a durable storage medium.

The USB stick can then be connected to the ExPC underground. To
do this, the cover of the terminal box (3) must be opened. Behind
that there is a USB cable port to which the USB stick can be
connected.
Important!
Before opening the terminal box, the PC must be shut off.
Before switching on again, the terminal box must be
completely closed since otherwise there is no explosion
protection.
The installation can be started by double-clicking on the file
setup.exe.

(see also SavePath parameter).
The LoggingEnabled parameter can be assigned the following
values:
1 Writing in the log file is switched on.

Changing windows
Fig. 24: Changing the sizes of various windows
When the cursor changes form at the edge of the window, one can
grab the edge of the window with the left mouse button and reduce
or enlarge the size of the window.
Menu management without mouse connection
If no mouse should be present, the central control can also be
operated completely using the keyboard.
Using the key combinations Alt together with the underlined letters
in menu names, the corresponding menu is opened. For example:
The Control menu is opened with the key combination Alt+t.
The Data recording menu is opened with the key combination Alt+z.
With the up or down arrow keys, the blue cursor can be moved up
or down.
With the left and right arrow keys, one can switch among the main
menus.
Once a menu item is selected with the mouse or arrow keys, this
can be opened by pressing the enter key.
Commands can also be directly executed by means of key
combinations. For example. one can go directly into the menu

local settings which can be selected analogously to the procedure
described above. Here, generally applicable safety and type
settings are made.

J Support type (1 for standard), other numbers for other support
types, such as face edge shield, segment shield, etc.
J Receive counter for correctly received data telegrams
J Data age in seconds
These specifications are displayed in the white areas in the upper
area of the screen. Underneath this follow a field for pressure and
path displays.
Fig. 60: Pull-down menu in the “Main text view” window
The individual displays on the main text
view can be activated/deactivated with the
mouse pointer. The switching status
(activated/deactivated) is indicated by a
checkmark. A displayed checkmark
indicates that it’s activated.
The “Flipper” parameter is listed twice.
The first position switches the flipper display
in [mm] on/off, and the second switches the
display in degrees [°] on/off.
Starting with the list position “ASQ” (red
arrow) a color-coded graphical display with
text information about the automatic
sequence is shown/hidden. Depending on
the shearer position, the activated automatic
functions are displayed in colors depending
on the status.
The yellow area shown in Fig. 59, page 5.26 (vertical stripes)
indicates the cursor position and can be changed with the “left” and
“right” cursor keys. This way, the display for the entire face can be
run through.
Color codes used for the automatic function displays:
