Edit Panel
Function
The function is identical to the section definition portion of Place
Panel function. It is used to
edit properties of the section of the panel after the panel has been
completed. The precedence can
be set by either picking from the list, or screen picking.
- Panel name: This is a
required field.
- Panel start: This is an
optional field. The Underground Timing routine have an
option for start date that usually makes this field unnecessary. This
field can delay the start of a panel independently of the plan
start date.
- Easting: The easting
coordinate value of the first picked point when the panel was placed.
- Northing: The northing
coordinate value of the first picked point when the panel was placed.
- Azimuth: The azimuth
from the first to the second picked points when the panel was placed.
- Entry Width: This is
used to calculate face feet/meters of advance. This should be set
to the width of the panel when working with longwall panels to get the
correct advance down the panel.
- Prompt for coal qualities: A check in this box brings up the Define panel Attributes dialog box.
- Prompt for retreat options:
The following prompts appear that allow for a second polygon that
specifies a second area that can be retreat mined separate from the
area mined on the advance. This additional polyline must be
closed and can be totally contained in the advance polyline, overlap,
or be outside. When the polyline overlaps two options
exist: the extraction ratio for the area contained in the advance
polyline and the area outside of the advance mining polyline.
Command Line Prompt:
Pick a polyline
representing a shape of the retreat area:
Enter the extraction ratio for remaining pillars: .25
Enter the extraction ratio for COAL outside the panel: 0
- Retreat Extraction: Any
entry in this box other than the default zero will place a second
mining panel that can be scheduled on the retreat back through the
panel.
- Owner: A single owner's
name can be assigned to the panel.
- Precedence: This box
gives the opportunity to set fixed scheduling relationships. Any
panels selected must be completed before this panel can start.
- Advance Difficulty Factor:
A value or a grid can be used to provide difficulty factor input for
advance mining in the panel.
- Retreat Difficulty Factor: A second value or grid can be specified for retreat mining
independent of the advance mining difficulty rate.
