Abstract
The problems of automated control of continuous rock mass transportation systems based on the use of microprocessor technology are considered. The main tasks and technical solutions for automation of automated control systems (ACS) are presented. The structure of such systems is described, the issues of reliability and prospects of using ACS in controlling conveyor lines are investigated, advantages and disadvantages of existing conveyor control systems are indicated. It is offered to increase control efficiency by means of creation of the distributed ACS of the conveyor line, consisting of several microcontrollers (MC) in ACS, controlling each of the industrial mechanism, but subordinated to the main MC, the functional diagram of one of such systems and the algorithm of its functioning is resulted.
