Configure WencoLite Drill Integration

Important: WencoLite drill integration requires changes to the DataBlast database. See Run the Wenco Drill Log Import Setup Script.

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 » WencoLite tab.
  4. Click Create WencoLite Control Record.
  5. Leave WencoLite Drill Machine Import Active unchecked while configuring the interface.
  6. Complete the following fields that are specific to WencoLite drill integration as required.
    • WencoLite Database Timeout—The amount of wait time (in seconds) before terminating an attempt to query the Wenco database and generating an error.
    • Drill Navigation Export Format—The format used by the drill navigation export feature when outputting a file to be used by the Wenco/APS drill. If not specified, the default value of “%-,%s,%i,%1,%2,%c" is used. Except for the following replaceable tokens, values are used verbatim.
      • %-—The drill pattern name
      • %s—The hole identifier
      • %i—A counter
      • %1—The design collar coordinates
      • %2—The design drill toe coordinates
      • %c—The drill icon type/colour (currently only supports a value of 7)
    • WencoLite Drill Template—Customise the WencoLite .cfg file export format to suit your site's drill setup. Example:
      Copy

      JOBFILE

      DRILLHOLES
      {PATTERN_NAME}.csv
      {GPS_REFERENCES_LIST}
    • Ignore Records with Drill Depth Less Than—Minimum drill depth.
  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).
