Control
Mine Automation and Control Systems
Automation systems capture real-time data from weighing, sampling, online analysis, and equipment monitoring points across the plant. They feed that data into operator interfaces and control loops, replacing manual checks with measured process variables.
Equipment in this category
The page supports your selection of field instruments and control logic. You weigh which measurements matter for your ore, how to interface with the plant SCADA or DCS, and what redundancy and maintenance the site can sustain.
The systems range from field instruments such as electronic belt scales and pipeline samplers to online analysers and condition monitoring modules. Belt scales and samplers sit at process entry and exit points, capturing weight and representative material. Analysers and control modules work deeper in the circuit, providing continuous composition and equipment health data for loop tuning.

What decides the selection
Start by defining the measurement purpose and required accuracy for each process stream. Sampling representativeness and response time are determined through site surveys and pilot trials that reflect ore variability. Communication protocol and interface selection follow from the plant control architecture. Redundancy, calibration, and maintenance planning depend on the site’s operational philosophy and available technical support.
- Measuring range and accuracy
- Sampling representativeness
- Response time
- Communication protocol
- PLC or DCS interface
- Redundancy
- Calibration regime
- Network security
- On-site maintenance capability
Instrument accuracy is not the same as process control performance. An automation scheme has to be designed together with ore variability, control strategy, actuators and data governance.
