METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A DRILLING SEQUENCE, A ROCK DRILLING APPARATUS AND A COMPUTER PROGRAMME TO FORM A DRILLING SEQUENCE

摘要

The invention relates to a method and a computer program for controlling a drilling cycle in a rock drilling apparatus, and to a rock drilling apparatu s. In accordance with the invention, each drilling unit (7) in the rock drillin g apparatus is monitored during a drilling period, and a drilling sequence of a control unit (10) in the rock drilling apparatus is updated at predetermined intervals during the drilling period. The total time of the drilling and the time elapsed for different operations can be registered. In addition, according to an embodiment, the drilling sequence is changed during updating , if changes occur in the drilling conditions during the drilling period.
