CONTROL OF A MINING MACHINE

Abstract

The physical materializations used as an example in this description refer to the control of a mining machine.An apparatus may comprise: at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code, wherein at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, together with at least one processor, cause the apparatus, as a minimum: receive an inertial measurement signal from a sensor on the mining machine; determine a motion state of the mining machine indicating whether at least a part of the mining machine is stationary based on at least one control signal provided by the control circuits of the mining machine or based on at least one sensor signal received from at least one other sensor on the mining machine; and perform a calibration of the inertial measurement signal, in response to the determination that the motion state of the mining machine indicates that the sensor is stationary.
