Including Libraries

anonymous@undisclosed.example.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 18 Dec 2025 22:50:17 +0000

Including Libraries This shows the process of including new Javascript libraries in your template application. Normal Libraries Most libraries can simply be copied into the js folder and loaded in script tags just like normal web pages. Dynamic/Latest Libraries

Creating a New Page

Creating a New Page This will guide you through adding a new page to our basic electron framework. Step 1: Create HTML and JS Pages Choose a name for your page, such as 'linechart'. Create two files in the src/content folder - one called '.html' and one called '.js'.

Bar Charts

Bar Charts This display in the Face Display application shows a bar chart highlighting a particular value across each of the Roof Supports on our demo system. You can choose which property you'd like to view using the drop-box at the top-left corner. This chart is live - it will animate as new data arrives.

Changing the ARDI Server

Changing the ARDI Server The ARDI server used by the template is hard-coded in index.js. At the top of the file, you'll find... //ARDI Server Address var ardiserver = "https://demo.optrix.com.au/s/long"; var baseardiserver = "https://demo.optrix.com.au"

Building an ARDI-Powered Electron App

anonymous@undisclosed.example.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 18 Dec 2025 22:50:17 +0000

Building an ARDI-Powered Electron App We've provided a basic template for creating ARDI-powered Electron apps. You are not required to use this template - you can create anything you want with ARDI data - but it can help you get started quickly. NOTE - This template is extremely bare-bones and is designed to help people build simple, pure-Javascript applications that focus on data visualisation. Our template isn't designed with React, Vue or other frameworks in mind.

Editing the Template

Editing the Template This section covers a range of specifics when editing an electron app based on our basic template. Outline The template project has a simple layout, designed to make it fast to create a small application that is focused on data-visualisation and analytics.

An Example

anonymous@undisclosed.example.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 18 Dec 2025 22:50:17 +0000

An Example This is the Javascript code for a bar-chart showing the Pitch - Base property of each asset across our longwall face. var xaxis = null; var yaxis = null; var svgbase = null; //Create the page. window.initPage = function () { reloadChart(); } //Load the data we need. function reloadChart() { var propertyname = "Pitch - Base"; var baseasset = "Roof Support #1"; ClearPage(); //Build an AQL query for all of our points... var query = "'" + baseass…

Face Maps

Face Maps It's important to look for long-term trends in the behaviour or a longwall mine, so you can look for signs of emerging issues. Most mines break their activity into shears. A shear is similar to a batch, and represents a single pass of the shearer from one side of the face to the other.

Functions and Variables

anonymous@undisclosed.example.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 18 Dec 2025 22:50:17 +0000

Functions and Variables The following functions and variables are used in our template. Display Options canvasWidth / canvasHeight These variables give the effective width and height available, if you'd like to build your content to fit the existing window.

Mine Face

anonymous@undisclosed.example.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 18 Dec 2025 22:50:17 +0000

Mine Face The second display in the Face Display application shows each individual roof support and it's current status. This chart is live - it will animate as new data arrives. Each support is coloured based on the pressure the roof is applying to the support. High pressures indicate excess stress, low pressures can indicate that the supports aren't properly 'set' against the roof.

Project Layout

anonymous@undisclosed.example.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 18 Dec 2025 22:50:17 +0000

Project Layout The template project has a simple layout, designed to make it fast to create a small application that is focused on data-visualisation and analytics. The src/index.html is opened in the main window. This contains a navigation bar that lets the user choose between the main areas of the program.

Shearer Maps

anonymous@undisclosed.example.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 18 Dec 2025 22:50:17 +0000

Shearer Maps Face Maps are useful, but can often hide valuable information. They are also only relevant for information about roof supports. It's more complex if you want to monitor the shearer or capture values when the shearer passes. Since the shearer may cross a single support multiple times in a single cut, face maps are often a poor choice if you want to analyse what the shearer has been doing.

ARDI Longwall User Documentation

anonymous@undisclosed.example.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 18 Dec 2025 22:50:17 +0000

ARDI Longwall User Documentation This program provides a number of simple, animated displays that help show the status of our longwall mine demo system. Longwall Mine Introduction Coal seams tend to be wide and thin - in some cases only being a few meters high. To mine them effectively, you need to be able to cut across a wide path.

ARDI Face Display

anonymous@undisclosed.example.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 18 Dec 2025 22:50:17 +0000

ARDI Face Display The ARDI Face Display program is an example of an Electron-based application that shows how you can build your own unique products on top of the data from an ARDI system. This lets you create apps that take advantage of ARDIs benefits, but also meet the needs of individual customers and specific markets.

Why Use ARDI As A Backend?

anonymous@undisclosed.example.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 18 Dec 2025 22:50:17 +0000

Why Use ARDI As A Backend? What are the advantages of using ARDI as the backend of your application? Vendor/Protocol Independence ARDI is vendor independent, meaning that it works with a huge variety of products. By connecting to ARDI, you're able to support a wide range of models, makes and equipment manufacturers.
