Yes, I would like to receive future marketing communications (such as email) from Caterpillar Inc., its affiliates and subsidiaries worldwide and the Caterpillar dealer network. Regardless of whether you decide to receive these marketing communications, Caterpillar will continue to send service/transactional messages, including those that have to do with any accounts that you may have with us.

Overview

The intrinsically safe Cat® PMC-D control is used on shearer or plow faces to provide high level AFC (armed face conveyor) and plow automation. Each Drive unit needs to be equipped with one PMC-D control unit and equivalent I/O to operate the CST drives or UEL gearbox functions. In such a system a Cat PMC-V provides the Human Machine Interface (HMI) to interfere with the PMC-D controls to operate manual mode, visualize and change parameters and show actual process values. Within a PMC-D system minimum one and typically up to 3 PMC-Vs are in equal operation. The PMC-D system can control extremely sensitive the speed and torque of highly powered AFC CST drive. Using Profibus network all PMC-Ds and PMC-Vs in a system could exchange process data over long distances with high frequency.
