Truck Cycle Activities

Traveling Traveling Empty to Starts when truck starts traveling towards a Shovel as a result of
the Shovel an assignment

Waiting Waiting at the Shovel Starts when Truck stops within the waiting area

Spotting Spotting at a Shovel Starts when Truck starts backing at the shovel within the spotting
area

Loading Loading at the Starts after first dipper, or when speed reaches 0 within the shovel
Shovel loading radius

Hauling Hauling from the Starts when the Shovel signals end of load, VIMS Load is detected
Shovel to a Stockpile or the Truck leaves the shovel departure area

Queued Queued at the Starts when truck stops within the boundary of a Stockpile or
Stockpile area Dump

Backing Backing at Stockpile Starts when truck backs at Stockpile area

Tipping Tipping at Stockpile Starts after stopping after backing at Stockpile

Additional Activities

Out of Cycle Activities for Trucks

Inactive Any delay or down status

Empty Truck is empty and ready waiting for an assignment

Loaded Truck is loaded and ready waiting for an assignment

Truck is traveling to a Shop or Shift Change location and is

Moving Empty
empty

Moving Loaded Truck is hauling to a destination that is not a Stockpile

Troubleshooting
 Jmineops (Windows)
 Copying log files
 Killing latent / zombie processes
 What does this mean?
 Troubleshooting the Jmineops application.
 Troubleshooting the field equipment through Jmineops
Troubleshooting
 Jmineops (Windows) Troubleshooting
 If the Jmineops application stops responding or freezes, use the Task Manager to stop the
following processes.
 RUBY.EXE or Rubyx32.exe
 Mineops.exe
 If repeated freezes or crashes are occurring, review and copy the log file to send to your
project engineer. Log files are stored in one of the following locations.
 C:\Program Files\MineOPS\Jigsaw\Logs
 C:\MineOPS\Jigsaw\Logs
 C:\Users\’user’\Jigsaw\Logs
Troubleshooting
 Jmineops Troubleshooting (field equipment)
 Restart Jpanel / JSPanel
 Restart JAMS
 Reload Database / Reload DB
 When do we use these buttons?
 Restart Jpanel / Restart JSPanel
 Screen is frozen
 Activity not changing on the screen

 Restart JAMS
 Activities change on screen but not in Jmineops
 Data (loads, activities, states) not updating in Jmineops
 Messages not showing on the field equipment (tonnage / dipper, messages from dispatcher, etc.) or in Jmineops
 Reload Database / Reload DB
 Last step to restore functionality to the panel,
 Erases and reloads the database on the field equipment
 Any data not uploaded to the central servers is lost

Windows Based Tools for Linux

 putty
 WinSCP
 Cygwin
 metapad
 pgAdmin
Linux Basics
 All Linux commands and filenames are case-sensitive (LS is not ls)
 All Linux commands follow the same basic structure:
<command> [ option(s)] [ argument(s)]

 Each command basically addresses:

 What? How? Where?
Linux Basics
 Getting help is relatively easy
in Linux
 Most system commands have
a man (short for manual) page
man <command>
Linux Basics
 The date command is used to display current system date and time
Linux Basics

 Typical file tree

 Directories
 Subdirectories
 Files
Linux Basics
 Linux supports both absolute
and relative path names
 Fully qualified, or absolute path
names represent the path from
the root directory (/) to the file’s
location within the file structure
 Relative path names are
specified relative to the user’s
current working directory
Linux Basics
 Top-most directory in the file
system’s tree structure is called
the root directory or /
 A slash (/) anywhere other than
the beginning of a path name is
used to separate the name of a
parent directory from its child
 .. refers to the parent directory
of the current directory
 . refers to the current directory
 ~ refers to the home directory of
the current user
Linux Basics
 Filename must be unique within a directory
 Pathnames can create uniqueness
 File extensions are typically meaningless
within the Linux system. Execution and file
characteristics depend on code and
permissions. Extensions are mainly for human
readability.
/home/user1/myfile.text
/home/user2/myfile.text
Linux Basics
File Execution

• Where do files run?

• echo $PATH
• When you attempt to run a
command, the shell searches
through the directories in the PATH
looking for the command
• To execute a program that is not in
the path you can enter:
./<program name>
Linux Basics
ls

• The ls command is used to list contents of a directory

Linux Basics
ls -al

• The ls -al command is used to display a detailed list of all normal and hidden
contents of a directory
Linux Basics
cd

• The cd command is used to change your current working directory

Linux Basics
cp

• The cp command is used to copy files from one location to another

Linux Basics
mv

• The mv command is used to move a file from one location to another or to

rename a file
Linux Basics
rm

• The rm command is used to delete files

• CAREFUL – There is no such thing as a Recycle Bin on a command line!!
Linux Basics
Viewing File Contents

 cat
 more
 head
 tail
 vi
Linux Basics
Viewing Log File Contents

 cat
 more
 Head
 tail
 vi

 cat /opt/Jigsaw/Logs/JAMS.log
 tail –f /opt/Jigsaw/Logs/JAMS.log
Linux Basics
Retrieving Logs

 Linux
 /opt/Jigsaw/Logs
 /var/log
Linux Basics
Reading Log File Contents

 UNIX and Windows create very different text file formats.

 In order to read the UNIX - formatted (Unicode) files on Windows, use
metapad, notepad ++ or another smart text editor.
 Never Use Notepad to read a log!!
Linux Basics

 Cron service used to schedule jobs

in Linux
 We use for:
 summarizer
 reconciler
Linux Basics

 Cron table
 To view the current cron table use the command crontab -l
