Abstract

This paper presents development results of integrated operating program and its simulator for an inshore test miner. The inshore test miner drives on the seabed and collects manganese nodules. For operating the test miner, integrated operating program (IOP) is needed for remote control and monitor of the miner in real-time. However, it is hard to develop the practical IOP for the test miner system, because the system is big, expensive, and unique. So a simulator was developed as a test substitute in order to save time and to reduce cost. Using test results of the simulator, the IOP of the test miner was developed. The developed IOP consists of remote program, host program, monitoring program and database program. The operating program was developed using PXI and Labview of NI. The experimental results are presented to show the applicability of the developed program.
