ADVANCED DIPLOMA OF ELECTRICAL AND INSTRUMENTATION (E&I) ENGINEERING FOR MINING
Introduction
Mining equipment has come a long way since the days of mule-drawn carriages for haulage, and canaries or Davy lamps for safety. In terms of high-voltage equipment, large AC and DC motors are still at the order of the day, but with increased sophistication. Load-haul-dump trucks operate in hazardous environments without a driver on board. Sophisticated motor control centers now house variable speed drives and soft-starters, and the motor control equipment is often networked via Ethernet. It is, however, on the low-voltage side where the developments are almost breathtaking. In certain parts of the world all mines in the region are monitored centrally on a SCADA system, with backhauls (fiber and wireless) to all mines in the region, forming a large Wide Area Network. At the mine sites Ethernet networks, both wired and wireless, are at the order of the day both above and below ground level. Leaky Feeder wireless systems are still to be found, but nowadays they support Ethernet and TCP/IP, making them suitable for voice and data. IEE802.11 wireless (a.k.a. Wi-Fi), suitably adapted for the mining environment, is making vast inroads into mining operations. Wi-Fi-based systems are used for both data and voice (VoIP), and with suitable radio frequency ID interfaces they also provide the infrastructure for monitoring personnel and vehicle movement. Some 802.11-based systems can even be configured in mesh topologies, delivering military-grade reliable communications between moving personnel and vehicles in an open mine environment. Industrial field buses such as HART, AS-i, Profibus, Foundation Fieldbus and DeviceNet are widely used in the mining industry. As is the case with most other electronics, they are increasingly moving towards a co-existence with Ethernet, and augmentation with wireless. And, of program, some of them can perform safety functions as well as operate in intrinsically safe environments. SCADA and distributed control is at the order of the day, and data from these systems are used as inputs to expert systems. These systems are used for various purposes such as providing data for optimized mine management, safety, and advanced process control. It is, in many cases, not even necessary for control room staff to understand anything about PID control in order to optimize a given control loop; the advanced process control system will heed their operator inputs and optimize the process on their behalf. Personal safety has not lagged behind. For example, ground radar can detect sub-millimeter ground movements, UWB and Wi-Fi systems are teamed up to avoid collisions between people and vehicles, and integrated headlamps for miners not only have built-in radio communications facilities, but also Ultra-Low Frequency ground-to-surface pagers for emergency location. So, in short, the mining industry is attracting the best of the best cutting-edge commercial and industrial electrical and electronics technologies. The question is are you capable of dealing with it? Welcome to the EIT Advanced Diploma of Electrical and Instrumentation (E&I) Engineering for Mining.

Practical Exercises, Remote Labs and Assignments

You will participate in practical exercises using a combination of remote laboratories and simulation software, to ensure you get the requisite hands-on experience. This will give you a solid practical exposure to the key principles covered in the program and ensure you are able to put theory into practice. As research shows, no matter how gifted and experienced an lecturer (and we believe ours are some of the best worldwide), no one learns from an lecturer only presenting program materials to them in a lecture format. It is only by the additional activities of hands-on exercises using simulation software, remote laboratories, practically based assignments and interactive discussion groups with both your peers and the lecturer that you are able to internalize this knowledge, "take ownership of it" and apply it successfully to the real world. You should note that there is some degree of overlap between the practical sessions between the different units to reinforce the concepts and to look at the issues from different perspectives. Traditional distance learning thus presents challenges in achieving these goals but we believe today with the modern e-learning technologies available combined with outstanding lecturers that we can achieve these goals and give you an equivalent or indeed even better experience than on a traditional university campus. Practical sessions may be added, deleted or modified by the lecturers to ensure the best outcome for students.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the advantages of studying online?
We know that many potential students have part or full-time employment as well as family commitments, so finding the time to study a classroombased program is not always possible. Many students also have geographical, travel and time limitations and do not have an accessible institution or training provider. We have taken this into consideration and developed an affordable, flexible, online approach to training. This means that you can study from anywhere, with minimum downtime from work but still have the necessary interactive learning experience. The software we use does not require very fast internet connection or a sophisticated computer. A basic connection and hardware are sufficient.
Contact us! For any other enquiries, please contact us at [email protected]
What are the fees?

The EIT provides distance education to students located almost anywhere in the world it is one of the very few truly global training institutes. Program fees are paid in a currency that is determined by the students location. A full list of fees in a currency appropriate for every country would be too complex list here and, with todays exchange rate fluctuations, difficult to maintain. To find out the fees for your location, contact us at [email protected] .
What if I cannot join or I miss a live webinar?

Webinars are recorded and available to students upon request. One requirement of the program is that you join at least 70% of the live sessions. The live webinars offer the opportunity to interact with the presenter and other participants from around the globe - an essential yet enjoyable part of the learning process. Circumstances such as on-site work can make attendance difficult at times. These situations need to be clearly communicated with your e-learning coordinator. Feedback from the recordings may be required and assignment submission maintained.
What do I need?
An adequate Internet connection, speakers and a microphone. A headset is recommended. The necessary software and program materials are provided by us.
When will the sessions take place? When will I receive a webinar schedule?
The webinar schedule is not put together until after registrations close. The reason for this is that the program is promoted globally and we often have participants from several time zones. When you enrol you will receive a questionnaire which will help us determine your availability. When all questionnaires are returned we create a schedule which will endeavour to meet everyones requirements. Each webinar runs 2 or 3 times during each presentation day and we try our best to ensure that at least one session falls into your requested time frames. This is not always possible, however, due to the range of locations of both presenters and students. If you are unable to attend the webinars scheduled, we do have some options available. Contact the EIT for more details.
Doesnt it get boring? How can an e-Learning program be interactive?

Boredom can be a real risk in any form of learning; however, we use an interactive approach to our e-Learning with live sessions (instead of recordings) for most presentations. The webinar software allows everyone to interact and involves participants in group work; including hands-on exercises with simulation software and remote laboratories where possible. You can communicate with text messages, or live VoIP speech, or can even draw on the whiteboard during the sessions. This all helps to keep you motivated and interested.
What do live webinars involve?

These are live, interactive sessions over the Internet. You will join the lecturer and other participants from around the world in an online virtual classroom where you are able to watch a presentation, and communicate with the lecturer and other students via audio, text messaging or drawing on the whiteboard. Each webinar is between 60 and 90 minutes in duration and the sessions are scheduled at 2 or 3 different times during the presentation day. This allows you to select the session which is most convenient.
Can I complete the program in less time?

Our programs actually require attendance and participation at the live webinars. The interaction which takes place is an important part of the learning process. Our experience has shown that the interactive classes work exceptionally well and students are far more likely to stay motivated, enjoy the program, and complete the program successfully. See also What if I cannot join or I miss a live webinar? In addition, accelerating the program would be quite onerous for most students.
How much time do I need? How long is the program?

The program reading and assignments may consume anywhere from 5 to 10 hours per week. This will vary depending on the program subject matter and your existing knowledge The EIT does not use a traditional semester-based system, which means that you can complete the qualification faster without long breaks. Each advanced diploma program is delivered over an intensive 18 months. We do break for about 4 weeks per year for traditional festive seasons.

Read drawings for electrical and electronic schematic diagrams Use symbols to represent electrical and electronic devices schematically Plan and execute schematic drawings using universally understood conventions Make the best use of CAD packages and their extensions Manage a drawing office and organize suitable workflow procedures Carry out version control, storage and retrieval of CAD drawings
Overview
Drawings are used to communicate and share information between different teams of engineers; the design engineer who conceptualizes equipment or systems, the production engineer who plans the steps in manufacturing the required components and subsystems, the assembly engineer who puts the components together, the testing engineer who tests the complete system, the installation engineer who installs the system or equipment and the maintenance engineer who is responsible for its upkeep. To all these individuals, with diverse backgrounds and expertise, a drawing should convey precise and identical information. This calls for standardized methodologies, conventions and approaches in preparing drawings. This module covers all these aspects with respect to engineering drawings in general and electrical drawings in particular. Various types of electrical drawings and their application, the steps in planning a drawing, selection of drawing size and scale, use of standardized symbols etc. are described in detail with commonly used examples from industry practice.

Overview
Electricity distribution refers to the final stage in the delivery of electricity to end users. A distribution network carries electricity from the main transmission system, and delivers it to consumers. In general such a network includes mediumvoltage (under 50 kV) power lines, electrical substations, pole-mounted transformers, lowvoltage (under 1 kV) distribution wiring and, in some cases, electricity meters. This module will focus on the distribution systems for mines, both above and below ground.
14
Module 3: CIRCUIT BREAKERS AND SWITCHGEAR

Duration: 4 weeks

Selection appropriate types and ratings of switchgear Draw up purchase specifications Understand switchgear components (CTs, VTs, relays, cable terminations) Adopt safe operational policies including safety rules and safety documents Use diagnostic tools and test equipment
Overview
Switchgear plays an important role in electricity distribution and its performance significantly affects the overall performance of the system. Failure to efficiently disconnect faults elsewhere in the network or failure in switchgear itself is costly, resulting in additional loss of supply, damage to equipment. and possibly fatal injury to personnel. It is therefore critically important that switchgear is operated and maintained correctly, within an overall asset management regime that is both economic and effective in securing a high level of system reliability. This module focuses on medium voltage switchgear, which comprises by far the bulk of switchgear on most electricity distribution systems. The emphasis is primarily on oil, air blast, SF6 and vacuum circuit breakers, but other forms of MV switchgear, for example ring main units and auto-reclosers, will also be discussed.
THE PROGRAM
Topic 3.1 - Switchgear Basics Principles of current interruption HV fuses Auto-reclosers Circuit breaker types Switchgear in association with disconnectors Switchgear standards Topic 3.2 - Switchgear Rating and Specification Switchgear ratings Switchgear ancillaries, measurement CTs, VTs, relays Cable terminations Substation and switch room layouts and design Testing methods Topic 3.3 - Safety and Operation General safety precautions, safety rules and personnel authorization Isolation in a circuit breaker context Safety documentation Safe working in a substation environment Safety interlocks Operation of modern switchgear: specific case studies (Westinghouse, Magrini, Reyrolle Pacific, Sprecher+Schuh SF6, NEBB) Topic 3.4 - Asset Management, Diagnostics and Maintenance Time and condition based asset management Asset management systems Switchgear diagnostics Principles of circuit breaker maintenance Maintaining oil circuit, vacuum and SF6 breakers

Overview
More and more engineering and technical professionals are making career transitions from product design into project management. This, however, requires formal training and a willingness to learn new skills. All the technical know-how in the world will not deliver a project successfully, i.e. with the required level of quality, within cost constraints and on time, without proper project management skills. Unfortunately very few engineering professionals have any degree of formal project management training, which results in a great deal of personal stress as well as cost blowouts and other woes, too often cited in the media. The lack of training often applies to the 'people skills' required for effectively leading the project team as well. To address this problem, these topics will focus on the critical project related activities such as work breakdown, scheduling, cost control and risk management and show how these can be performed with software to lighten the project manager's workload. The 'soft' (but equally important) aspects such as team leadership and contract law are also covered. All topics will be supplemented with practical exercises focusing primarily on the areas of electrical/electronic (including instrumentation) and mechanical engineering within the mining industry.

Module 5: POWER SYSTEMS PROTECTION

Duration: 4 weeks

Explain the operation of fuses, current and voltage transformers, circuit breakers, tripping batteries and relays Use the abovementioned devices for the protection of feeder lines, transformers, busbars, switchgear, motors, generators and overhead lines Identify the additional challenges posed by underground mining operations
Overview
Power system protection is a branch of electrical power engineering that deals with the protection of electrical power systems from faults, through the isolation of faulted parts, from the rest of the electrical network. The objective of a protection scheme is to keep the power system stable by isolating only the components that are under fault, whilst leaving as much of the network as possible still in operation. Thus, protection schemes must apply a very pragmatic and pessimistic approach to clearing system faults. For this reason, the technology and philosophies utilized in protection schemes can often be old and well-established because they must be very reliable. This module will primarily deal with more established methods of protecting motors, generators, switchgear and transformers.
THE PROGRAM
Topic 5.1 - Protection Systems Part I The need for protection Fault types and their effects Simple calculation of short circuit currents System earthing/grounding Protection system components Topic 5.2 - Protection Systems Part II Instrument transformers Circuit breakers Tripping batteries Relays Applications co-ordinated by time grading Topic 5.3 - Protection Systems Part III Underground mine distribution protection Principles of unit protection Feeder protection Transformer protection Switchgear (busbar) protection Topic 5.4 - Protection Systems Part IV Motor protection Generator protection Overhead line protection Management of protection

Overview
It is estimated that electrical drives and other rotating equipment consume about 50% of the total electrical energy consumed in the world today. The cost of maintaining electrical motors can be a significant amount in the budget item of manufacturing and mining industries. This module will give you a thorough understanding of electrical motor protection, control and maintenance and provide you with the tools to maintain and troubleshoot electrical motors.

Perform IP configuration on IP devices Check TCP connections Use TCP/IP utilities for troubleshooting Use a protocol analyzer for troubleshooting Explain the basics of VoIP
Overview
The TCP/IP protocol suite was originally designed for what was to become the Internet, but it has since been embraced by Industry, world-wide, because of its open (non-proprietary) nature and its robustness. It is therefore also ubiquitous in the mining industry, both above and below ground and on wired as well as wireless systems. In addition, there has been a rapid convergence between conventional voice telephony systems and networking (such as TCP/IP over Ethernet), with the result that Voice over IP (VoIP) is becoming commonplace in mines.

Overview
Terrestrial microwave links, in either Point-to-Point (PtP) or Point-to-Multipoint (PtMP) configurations, employ earth-based transmitters and receivers, and are frequently used to transmit signals in situations where it would be impractical to run cables. The frequencies used are typically in the 800 MHz-5 GHz range, although 60-80 GHz links for backhauls are not uncommon. This limits all communications to line-of-sight, with or without intermediate repeaters. In most cases the unlicensed ISM bands are used, which simplifies installation. However, the EIRP (Effective Isotropically Radiated Power) at the antenna is still regulated by the relevant body such as the FCC in the USA and ACMA in Australia. In mining applications, wireless links are often used between sites although satellite services might be required in locations where a terrestrial wireless infrastructure does not exist.

Module 11:
LEAKY FEEDER SYSTEMS
Duration: 2 weeks

Explain the concept of Leaky Feeder operation Select appropriate feeder cable Design a basic Leaky Feeder system with commercially-available components
Overview
Leaky Feeder is a communications system used in underground mining and other tunnel environments. It consists of a coaxial cable run along passageways, which emits and receives radio waves. The cable is leaky in that it has gaps its outer conductor along its entire length to allow signal to leak into or out of the cable. Because of this leakage, amplifiers are inserted at regular intervals to boost the signal back to operational levels. In recent years Leaky Feeder systems have been augmented with Ethernet, so that data and even voice (VoIP) can be accommodated.

A Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) is a communications network made up of wireless nodes organized in a mesh topology, and can be seen as a special type of wireless 'ad hoc' network. WMNs usually consist of mesh clients, mesh routers and gateways. The mesh clients may include sensors, flow controllers, laptops, mobile phones and other wireless devices, depending on the application, while the mesh routers forward traffic to and from the gateways which may (optionally) connect to the Internet or to a larger wired network. The coverage area of the wireless nodes working as a single network is sometimes called a mesh cloud. A mesh network is reliable because of redundancy. All nodes communicate with each other directly or through intermediate nodes. When one node can no longer operate, the rest of the nodes will reconfigure around it, and still communicate with each other, directly or indirectly. Wireless mesh networks can be implemented with various wireless technologies including IEEE 802.11, IEEE 802.15.4, or proprietary variations of the aforementioned. Recent years have seen more and more mesh systems in mining applications, especially on open mines.

FIELD BUSES
Duration: 5 weeks

Identify mining applications that can be automated with a field bus Be aware of the pros and cons of the various field bus offerings Select the most appropriate system for your application Perform basic diagnostics on various field buses
Overview
Profibus is a standard for field bus communication in automation technology and was first promoted (in 1989) by the German Department of Education and Research. Profibus DP uses RS-485 or fiber optics at the Physical Layer, and Profibus PA. DeviceNet is a field bus used in the automation industry to interconnect control devices for data exchange. Typical applications include information exchange, safety devices, and large I/O control networks. The HART protocol (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer protocol) is a digital industrial automation protocol. Its most notable advantage is that it can communicate over legacy 4-20 mA analog instrumentation wiring, sharing the pair of wires used by the older system. It uses Bell 202 signaling over a current loop. Foundation Fieldbus is an all-digital, serial, two-way communications system, similar to Profibus PA, that serves as the base-level network in a plant or factory automation environment. All these systems are used in the Mining industry, and also perform safety functions.

Module 15:
SCADA SYSTEMS AND OPC
Duration: 4 weeks

Design a basic SCADA system Choose a suitable WAN link from your local Service Provider Choose an appropriate device for your SCADA data acquisition Integrate OPC with your SCADA application
Overview
SCADA has traditionally been used to create a window into the process of a plant, or to gather data from devices in the field, but now the focus is on integrating this process data into the actual business, and using it in real time. The current emphasis is on using open communication protocols such as IEC 60870, DNP3 and TCP/IP, and commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware and software to keep the costs down. This module covers four major aspects of SCADA, namely (1) the overall SCADA system design, (2) the longdistance WAN links that convey data from the point of acquisition to the central station, (3) the systems and methods of remotely acquiring plant data, and (4) OPC, which is increasingly used in SCADA applications.

PROCESS CONTROL SYSTEMS
Duration: 4 weeks

Tune PID control loops Connect cascade loops Explain cascade loops and feed-forward control Correct long dead-times in a loop Specify and design the analog loop requirements for a plant using PID control Identify and apply the essential building blocks in automatic control Explain concepts used by major process control equipment vendors
Overview
To succeed in process control, a designer must first establish a good understanding of the process to be controlled. Since we do not wish to become too deeply involved in the process itself, we need to find a way of simplifying the representation of the process. This is done by adopting a technique of block diagram modeling of the process. All processes have some basic characteristics in common and, if we can identify these, the job of designing a suitable controller is relatively easy. The trick is to make a reasonably accurate mathematical model of the process and use this model to find out what typical control actions we can use to make the process operate at the desired conditions. The first part of this module deals with the modeling process, resulting in a system block diagram. From this analytical result an accurate selection of the type of measuring transducer as well as the final control element can be made. The rest of the module deals with other aspects of Process Control, namely the controller(s), functions, actions and reactions, function combinations and various modes of operation.
THE PROGRAM

Module 18:
DISTRIBUTED CONTROL SYSTEMS
Duration: 2 weeks

Understand the concept of distributed control Identify the various components of a DCS system Identify processes that lend themselves to DCS automation Evaluate DCs offerings from the major vendors Design a basic DCS system
Overview
DCS (Distributed Control System) is a broad term for a type of system used in a variety of industries to monitor and control distributed equipment. DCSs are used in manufacturing systems, processes, or any kind of dynamic system in which the controller elements are not centrally located but are distributed throughout the system. Each component sub-system is controlled by one or more controllers. The entire system of controllers is connected by networks for communication and monitoring. DCSs are very similar to SCADA systems except for the fact that the data processing in a SCADA system is usually centralized, and SCADA performs high-level (supervisory) control only. DCSs are widely used in the mining industry.
THE PROGRAM
Topic 18.1 - DCS Basics What is distributed control DCS vs. SCADA DCS system components Data communications for DCS The basic controller The operator interface Topic 18.2 - DCS Operation Basic DCS controller configuration Programming of DCS systems DCS alarm system management DCS reporting DCS configuration Advanced control strategies maintenance DCSs for the mining industry
