Investing in an efficient belt conveying system demands a large capital committment.


The best possible way to protect this investment is to install the Fenner Dunlop belt
monitoring system, EagleEye™. Although the EagleEye™ will not actually prevent
faults from occurring, it will ensure the least possible damage to your investment.

The benefits of installing Fenner Dunlop Americas EagleEye™ can be enormous.


Continuous belt monitoring gives operators much tighter control over finances by
enabling them to recognize potential trouble spots and take action before costly,
unnecessary damage occurs.

EagleEye™ does not demand high levels of expertise to understand. It is easily


interpreted by operatives working in conjunction with their other duties.

EagleEye™, the intelligent belt monitoring system


Conveyor belts form a key part of many mining and processing businesses worldwide. Their
installation represents significant investment, and their maintenance or failure means expensive
downtime. Frequent monitoring of long belts is often impractical where certain forms of
damage can be very hard to detect by visual inspection alone.

EagleEye™, from Fenner Dunlop Americas, is the most advanced combined rip detection and
continuous belt monitoring system in the world. Named EagleEye™ because it utilizes a
sophisticated Programmable Logic Control (PLC) system
to constantly keep a watchful eye over your conveyor. It
gives users instant access to information about the
conveyor belt condition and gives 24/7protection via the
conveyor’s control system to sound an alarm or stop the
belt should any significant damage occur.

It can, for instance, immediately stop the belt upon


detection of a longitudinal rip. This is made possible by
the rip detection panels and loops integrated in the belt.

In addition to its highly efficient rip detection capability,


the EagleEye™ system can provide users with a constant
flow of information on any damage that occurs and can
pinpoint its exact location, allowing a visual assessment
to determine if any remedial work is necessary.

EagleEye™ can also determine the extent of any damage that occurs, assign it different
categories of damage level and monitor its development. This means that users have the option
of allowing minor damage to pass until it registers at a more serious level or take immediate
pre-emptive action to inspect and eliminate any further damage before it turns into a major
downtime situation.

The Intelligent Belt Monitoring System . . .

Continuous belt protection


On installation, EagleEye’s PLC system runs a ‘signature profile’
of the complete belt length, used as the bench mark against
which the next belt cycle is measured. Any changes to the
‘signature profile’ are then highlighted on local or remote
displays as new damage and assigned a rating, depending on
severity. Damage can be accepted after assessing and the
information on the damage recorded, a new signature profile
is then established. This profile shows changes seen in any area
of the belt (Splices, Cord condition, Loops, Panels).

Using the pre-set damage level facility, the belt can be


automatically stopped or just a warning signal given
depending on the severity of the damage.

EagleEye™ rip detection panels and loops


The EagleEye™ system has the capability of giving Rip Detection by either Magnetic Flux
Leakage Panels or Conductive Loops or a combination of both. The insertion of rip detection
panels, either on-site or during manufacture at very little cost, provides extremely effective rip
detection. The panels are designed to effect a reaction at the slightest indication of a rip,
triggering an alarm or conveyor stop sequence.

The location of rip damage reported by either technique and cord condition monitoring is done
by a positional algorithm that utilizes any of the following information that is available.RFID
(Radio Frequency ID) tags, various types of driven Encoder outputs, event sequences such as,
splices loops, and panels.

Remote Steel Cord Conveyor Belt Monitoring System


The EagleEye™ Conveyor Belt Monitoring System is a permanently
installed conveyor diagnostics tool designed for the analysis of splice
condition, cord damage, and cord corrosion without the need to stop
production on a steel cord conveyor system. The interface allows for
belt positioning and auto stoppages at a determined position on the
conveyor system.

Steel cord belt condition monitoring is achieved by measuring magnetic


flux leakage (MFL) from cords and comparing changes in data from
belt cycles.

A Magnetizer lightly magnetizes the belt and information from the longitudinal cords and rip
detection panels is gathered by the MFL Sensor. The EagleEye™ system analyzes every new
incident and automatically assigns it a rating corresponding to its severity, together with a date
and position reference, established by the Encoder or the RFID tags.

Via Virtual Private Network (VPN) access or via satellite remote access, data is downloaded,
analyzed and an electronic report is sent to advise the location of damage within your belt with
millimeter precision. This remote monitoring capability enables you to request scanning at any
given time with no site visit required to download.

Operators Monitor Screens


For ease of operation, the system‘s monitor screens are embedded into the
mine-wide PLC network displays. It provides a Visual Trace of the belt’s
movement, in real time, and highlights any damage that has occurred.

The Tracking window shows the speed of the belt, in meters per second, and
the distance any given point has traveled past the MFL Sensor.

The New Damage window highlights any new damage that has occurred
following the belt’s signature profile. This window also provides information
on the date damage occurred, its position, its severity and ongoing
development.

Continuous Development
The EagleEye™ system continually evolves to meet ever demanding
production needs. Development upgrades, can be made available such as
alignment, belt thickness and material weight on the conveyor belt, focus on
improvements needed to guard against unnecessary damage and downtime.
