The article considers one of the ways to improve the reliability of mining equipment, by eliminating sudden failures and reducing the severity of their consequences, based on the use of digital technologies and automated control systems for its technical condition and online diagnostics. It is proposed to use the methods of diagnostics and automated control of the technical condition of power electrical machines, which consist in monitoring the current with subsequent spectral analysis of the recorded signal. The method allows to determine the current technical condition of the engine elements with sufficient accuracy. A high-performance RISC microcontroller of the AVR ATmega16 family was adopted as the constituent elements of the diagnostic complex, which contains a fast Harvard processor, program memory, data memory, input / output ports and various interface circuits.

The article presents the results of checking the adequacy of the method of online diagnostics and automated control of the technical condition of the electromechanical drive of the KP21 mining machine with an asynchronous squirrel-cage motor, proposed earlier by the authors. The method of experimental production studies provides for the connection of the measuring complex to the stator winding of one of the phases of the electric motor. The measurements were carried out under various operating conditions of the combine, corresponding to various technical conditions of the facility. A comparative analysis of the technical condition of the diagnosed nodes and the values ​​of the normalized amplitudes of the corresponding frequencies led to the conclusion: the defect must be fixed if the signal amplitude exceeds the value of 10% of the maximum, and the defect is significant and needs to be eliminated if the amplitude value exceeds 30%. To use the obtained research results in practice, an integral nomogram of the correspondence between the operating time of the combine harvester and the amplitude - frequency characteristic of the stator current of the drive motor of the cutting body is proposed. The results obtained are taken as a basis for correcting the schedule of preventive maintenance and maintenance of the cutting body of mining machines KP21 when operating in the appropriate mining and geological conditions.
