Abstract: Schedules that indicate when time gates of a network device are to permit transfer of packet data are stored in a memory. Control circuitry repeatedly identifies initial positions in the schedules corresponding to times when the schedules are accessed in a background procedure. The control circuitry uses the identified initial positions to identify updated positions in the schedules that correspond to events when control of the time gates is needed, and uses scheduling information at the updated positions in the schedules to selectively transfer packet data to components of the network device using the time gates.

Abstract: A processor of a network device receives i) a timing message and ii) a control header corresponding to the timing message. The control header includes information that indicates a timestamping method for communicating timing information corresponding to transmission of the timing message by the network device. The timestamping method is selected from a set of multiple timestamping methods that includes: i) a one-step timestamping method, and ii) a two-step timestamping method. The processor determines whether the two-step timing timestamping method is to be performed based on analyzing the information in the control header. The network device transmits the timing message within a first packet and determines timing information corresponding to the transmission of the first packet. In response to determining that the timestamping method is the two-step method, the processor stores the timing information in a memory for subsequent inclusion in a second packet that is to be subsequently transmitted.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system and a method of controlling the movement of a tracked mobile mining machine having one or more articulated vehicle units. The control system works by taking input from manual or automated input means, the input serving as a set operating value for at least one driving parameter. The controller generates control signals, which are sent to regulating means that actuate the motor of the mobile mining machine. Using sensors on the machine, actual values of the driving parameter are measured in real-time and fed to the controller for comparison with the original set values. Any difference in the values is compensated for when the controller sends control signals to the regulating means causing readjustment of the driving parameter of the mining machine. The control system is applicable to crawler-driven powered vehicle units to ensure synchronous crawler movement for both linear and non-linear paths.
