AUTOMATIC CONTROL SYSTEM FOR OPERATION OF COKERY MACHINERY

摘要

: Herein disclosed is a method for automatically controlling both the running operations of traveling machines including a pusher machine, a charging car, a coke guide and/or solely a quenching car. Transposed-pair-type inductive radio lines capable of data transmissions are arranged over the whole length of the running path of the respective traveling machines. The absolute addresses of the working machines are continuously located at a central control system by means of a continuously position detecting mechanism resorting to an absolute address detecting method. Instructions to consecutively effect the running, stopping and working operations of the traveling machines are generated by grasping the positions and working states of the traveling machines on the basis of the control programs of the respective central addresses and the respective working steps, all of which are stored in the main controller, and on the basis of the speed and work data fed from the working machines, and the positions and working states of the same machines. Also disclosed is a fixed position stop control apparatus for the automatic control method.
