1)The application is coal mines. The conveyoys in the mines have the limit switches indicating the movement of the conveyors. The status has to be communicated in control room which is far away from the site.


Way back in my distant past, I was asked to look at a similar project on a conveyor belt at a coal mine looking to detect a belt break(if I understand the application correctly). We lost the contract to a product called F-System from Electromatic. I never understood how it worked, but it seems to be available here

It allowed for a 2 wire system over several kilometers with 254 stations.
