In the mining and quarrying industry, mining trucks play a crucial role in ensuring efficient and high-production operations. These trucks work in close coordination with key equipment such as drills, electric shovels, bulldozers, and graders in open-pit mining operations. Often required to operate for multiple consecutive days with short and repetitive driving distances, mining trucks must function reliably and efficiently under harsh working conditions. The controller, as the "brain" of mining trucks and other heavy machinery, directly affects their operational and safety performance.
The 120-ton electric mining dump truck, featuring an upgradeable and replaceable pure electric powertrain, integrates a power system, energy management system, and AC drive system. By replacing traditional diesel engines with a powerful battery pack, this electric truck can charge for just one hour and operate for up to eight hours continuously. Compared to traditional diesel-powered mining trucks, this electric mining truck reduces energy consumption by 50%, lowers operating and maintenance costs by 20%, and can reduce CO2 emissions by approximately 1,400 tons per year per truck, realizing true "zero emissions."
SonnePower has developed a robust and reliable controller designed specifically for mobile vehicles and heavy machinery electrical control systems. With a compact and sturdy design, the controller offers a rich set of input/output channels that can be flexibly configured to build electric control systems quickly, saving installation space and reducing electrical costs. These features are especially crucial for mining trucks, which require a stable controller performance, a higher number of input/output points, and complex control logic.
SonnePower's controllers feature CAN bus communication, supporting protocols like CANOpen, SAEJ1939, and custom configurations. CAN bus communication is highly cost-effective and offers excellent reliability, real-time performance, flexibility, and strong anti-interference capabilities. In the harsh environments typical of mining operations, these qualities contribute to enhanced safety, ensuring the truck is always operating at its peak performance. This facilitates intelligent and safe mining production in open-pit coal mines.
The 120-ton mining truck's high-pressure control cabinet is equipped with SonnePower's SPC-SFMC-X3632A controller and SPC-SDIO-S1212 intelligent I/O module.
