General
Dependencies are the first check in terms of the scheduling logic.
For a schedule transaction to take place, the first thing what the scheduling engine looks at is whether or not some source block and some destination block is available.
| Info |
|---|
The looser your dependencies are, the more available sources and destinations at any point of time, your schedule has more data to go through and therefore it is going to take longer to run. Recommendation is to put more effort into the dependencies to make a decision process a bit quicker. |
Dependencies Types
The Dependencies setup tasks allow users to set different dependencies for a project. Dependencies control the logical order in which blocks are extracted from the pit and filled in the dump.
Main dependency types are listed in the table below. Navigate to the relevant sections to find more detailed information.
Dependencies Setup Tasks   | Step | Description |
|---|---|---|
Phase Adjacencies | Phase adjacencies are used to ensure that a backfill dump does not encroach within the standoff distance of unmined blocks. | |
On Bench | Set dependencies between blocks, and bench access, by ramp point or direction. | |
Between Benches | Allows user to plan multiple benches mining in a single phase. | |
Increment Offset | Synchronize vertical offsets values between stages. | |
Custom | Specify dependencies between any two records, including upper level records. | |
Drilling | Specify exclusion zones and blasting delays. This setup step only appears if in the Configuration Options step you ticked Use Dependencies option. |
