Flexible programmable controllers provide comparable performance to dedicated systems while costing roughly half as much. In addition to being rugged, and practical, they have a definable payback. Trapper Mine is a surface operation supplying coal to a nearby power generating plant. Three walking draglines largely determine overall mine productivity.
