CAB AR-ENCLOSED ROPS 2299950 - Caterpillar

The plane can be either horizontal or inclined. The plane is added to an elevation design when the design DXF file is converted to a *.cat file in Cat MineStar. The file is then sent to the machine.An operator can modify the plane in the same way that an inclined plane design can be modified. The office can also use Cat MineStar to modify the plane that is included in the TIN design file.Use the following steps to adjust the elevation of the plane:
Open the main CAESultra menu.
Select the "Files" item. The "Files" submenu appears.
Select the "Modify Plane" item. The "Plane Modify" dialog appears.
Touch the "Elevation" button. The "keypad" appears.
Enter the new elevation for the plane. Touch the "OK" button. The keypad is closed.
Touch the "OK" button in the "Plane Modify" dialog. The "Plane Modify" dialog closes. The new elevation for the plane is applied to the elevation design.
Illustration 4 g01200144
The error message in Illustration 4 displays when you attempt to modify the plane if the elevation design is not a TIN or a plane design.TIN and plane files are configured with a plane that is either a plane above design or else a plane below design.
Illustration 5 g01176236
Plane limits bottom configurationThe plane limits bottom (plane above) configuration is used when the design is shaped more like a hill. This case is shown in illustration 5. In areas where the plane design (8) is below the TIN (6), then the TIN is used. In areas where the plane design (7) is above the TIN (9), then the plane is used.
Illustration 6 g01176238
Plane limits top configurationThe plane limits top (plane below) configuration is used when the design is shaped more like a valley. This case is shown in illustration 6. In areas where the plane design (12) is below the TIN (10), then the plane is used. In areas where the plane design (11) is above the TIN (13), then the TIN is used.
Illustration 7 g01201197
The profile view shows the combination of the plane and the elevation design. In this case the plane has been configured as a plane below design. (14) The red line shows the current ground. The machine is working to the TIN and plane elevation design. (15) The green line is the TIN and plane. (16) The cyan line shows only the elevation design.Avoidance Zones and Avoidance Surfaces
ReferenceRefer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Avoidance Strategy" for additional instruction on selecting and using avoidance zones and avoidance surfaces.Avoidance Zones
Avoidance zones are used to remind the operator to avoid entering specific areas on the site. For example, an avoidance zone might be used to define an area of unstable ground at the mine site. The zone could also be used to define areas that are on either side of a hazard, such as an exposed pipe or buried cables. Warning messages and an audible alarm alert the operator that the machine is inside one of these zones.When avoidance zones are enabled on a machine, the avoidance zone files can be selected.
