To access these functions:
-
Activate the Schedule ribbon and select Setup. Select any haul truck item on the left.
-
In the Update Schedule dialog, enable the Haul Trucks option and click the browse button.
The Dumping control group is used to define the dumping times for each haul truck class. These form part of the settings on the General Settings panel for each truck
Calculating the Dump Cycle Time
The total dumping time at a Destination is made up of:
-
Initial Cycle Time from Destination entry point to Dump Point (minutes)
-
Queuing Time at the Dump Point (minutes)
-
Dump Time (minutes)
Dumping Calculation Example
For example if the Initial Cycle Time is 10.0 mins, Incremental Cycle Time is 0.0005 mins/Kt, Queuing Time is 0.3 mins and Dump Time is 0.7 mins then the Dump Cycle Time is calculated as follows:
Dump Cycle Time (mins) = 10.0 + 1,000 x 0.0005 + 0.3 + 0.7 = 11.5 mins
If the Destination is not a dump or stockpile then the Initial Cycle Time and Incremental Cycle Time may be set to zero as they do not apply.
It is also possible to define a Dump Sector for a Destination.
Field Details:
Destination: destination name (automatically derived from the Destinations list). More...
Init.Cycle (mins): enter a value (minutes) representing the Initial Cycle Time for the selected truck to dump at the listed destination.
Inc.Cycle (mins): enter a value (minutes) representing the Incremental Cycle Time for the selected truck to dump at the listed destination.
Queue (mins): enter a value (minutes) representing the Queue Time for the selected truck to dump at the listed destination.
Dump (mins): enter a value (minutes) representing the Dump Time for the selected truck to dump at the listed destination.
