Configure Sandvik OptiMine Drill Integration

Activity Steps

  1. On the DataBlast Application Menu, select Site Maintenance.

    The Site Maintenance screen displays.

  2. Select the Service Control node.
  3. Select the Drill Machine Import » Sandvik tab.
  4. Click Create Sandvik OptiMine Control Record.
  5. Leave Sandvik OptiMine Drill Machine Import Active unchecked while configuring the interface.
  6. Complete the following fields that are specific to OptiMine drill integration as required.
    • Last Event ID Imported—The numerical event ID in the source OptiMine database from which to start looking for further records.
    • Database Connection String—Click the ellipsis (...) to open the Select Database Server and Database screen to enter connection details. Click Advanced for further connection details if required.
    • Database Timeout—The amount of wait time (in seconds) before terminating an attempt to query the OptiMine database and generating an error.
    • Read Maximum Records—The maximum number of records requested from the OptiMine database per call.
    • Segment Data Delay—The number of minutes after the start time of a drill record to wait for segment data to be available in the record. After this delay, if there is no segment data, the interface assumes that there will be no segment data for the record.
    • Obey cSysType L (Swap X/Y) on Import—If checked, and the file has a value of L in the CSysType value of the Coordsystem section of the PositionQuality, the X and Y coordinates are swapped when creating the point location.
    • Machine Value 0 is Invalid—If checked, a machine value of 0 is considered invalid, and the drill record is interpreted as if it does not contain information about the drill machine. If unchecked, a drill resource with an OptiMine ID of 0 is located or created.
    • Ignore Operator Data—If checked, all data related to the Operator ID in the OptiMine database is ignored and records are imported without an operator.
  7. Complete the following fields that are common to all drill interfaces as required.
    • Create Fault on 0 or Null Diameter—If checked, when the diameter provided is 0 or if no diameter is provided, a drill fault record instead of a drill machine hole detail record.
    • Reimport Skip Mode—If checked, processing of the current drill record is skipped if the hole already contains an undeleted drill machine record.
    • Time Zone—Select the time zone of the source data.
    • X/Y Deviation Diameter Count—The maximum number of design diameters distance in the X/Y plane from the design collar to the drilled collar that allows a hole to be considered within range. If the distance exceeds the amount represented by this value, the drill record is created as a drill fault, which requires manual confirmation as a valid hole record.
    • Sleep after Processing—The number of minutes to suspend processing when there are no new records available for processing.
    • Length Percentage Deviation—The percentage difference from the design drill length allowed before a hole is considered to require manual confirmation as a valid hole record.
    • Thread Database Timeout—If cleared, resets to Server default.
    • Angle Tolerance—The number of degrees difference from the design angle before a hole is considered to require manual confirmation as a valid hole record.
    • Bearing Tolerance—The number of degrees difference from the design bearing before a hole is considered to require manual confirmation as a valid hole record.
    • Ignore Drill Diameter—If checked, any drill diameter information provided by the source record is ignored.
    • Coordinate Conversion to Unit Multiplier—A multiplier applied directly to any X, Y or RL coordinate values before use.
    • Diameter Tolerance—The maximum percentage difference between the design and drill diameter before a hole is considered to require manual confirmation as a valid hole record.
    • Apply Diameter Tolerance to Valid Diameters
    • Drill Diameter Multiplier—A multiplier applied directly to the drill diameter value provided by the source drill import record.
    • Drill Diameter Rounding—The number of decimal places to round the diameter values before use (applied after the Drill Diameter Multiplier).
  8. To enable the interface, check Sandvik OptiMine Drill Machine Import Active.
