Block Contorl System Flyer

The document describes a block control system that uses closed-loop control technology to precisely control the speed and position of traveling blocks. It monitors block movement and applies the necessary braking to smoothly stop blocks at programmed limits for the floor, crown and monkeyboard. The system increases drilling efficiency and safety by avoiding unplanned events and maximizing operational control.
