End User: Perth Transport AuthorityLocation: PerthClient: Aries RailAries Rail fitted a Hyrail system and a converted Palfinger Elevated Work Platform (EWP) to a Mitsubishi Fuso Canter for use on the Perth Metro Rail network.Sensor Solutions designed, programmed and commissioned the integrated Hyrail and EWP control system. The control system consisted of: An IFM Safety PLC for EWP monitoring and stability control An IFM HMI in the cab for control of the Hyrail system and operator interface for the combined system 3 x IFM basic displays for control of the stabilisers and operator interface for the EWP 4 x IFM ioControl modules for non-safety I/O switching

Client: GM Mining Electrics
GM Mining Electrics converted an Atlas Copco Simba Drill from Hydraulic Operation to Electric over Hydraulic Operation and built a remote cabin so that the drill could be operated safely in unstable ground conditions. They also installed remote cameras and a video system to enable the operator to view the drill head and cabin controls.
Sensor Solutions provided ruggedised IFM PLC modules located on the drill and a Unitronics integrated PLC and HMI in the remote cabin along with software engineering, programming and commissioning services. The software included:
Remote monitoring of pressure transducers and switches
Calibration and remote control and of 16 axes of movement using PWM operated hydraulic valves
Pan,tilt,zoom control of 2 cameras
Emergency Stop and Barrier Monitoring
End User: Grange ResourcesLocation: Savage riverClient: GM Mining ElectricsGM Mining Electrics converted an Sandvik Titon 600 Drill from Hydraulic Operation to Electric over Hydraulic Operation and built a remote cabin so that the drill could be operated safely over a 900MHz radio link. They also installed remote cameras and a video system to enable the operator to view the drill head and cabin controls.Sensor Solutions provided Beckhoff CAN Open I/O modules located on the drill and a Unitronics integrated PLC and HMI in the remote cabin along with software engineering, programming and commissioning services. The software included: Remote monitoring of pressure transducers and switches Calibration and remote control and of the drilling operation using PWM operated hydraulic valves Pan,tilt,zoom control of 3 cameras

End User: SinosteelLocation: Jack HillsClient: CAD GroupCAD Group designed a dust suppression spraying system that mixxed flocculent with water and sprayed it over iron ore on a conveyor belt. The flocculent stuck to the ore and prevented wind borne dust throughout the supply chain.Sensor Solutions provided a Unitronics integrated PLC and HMI in the along with software engineering, programming and commissioning services. The software included: Variable Speed Pump Control Tank Level Monitoring Menu based nozzle control Flow ratio control Alarm Monitoring
