The paper presents a practically realized system of electronic programmable detonator designed for tandem systems. The presented layout was implemented on the basis of micro-controllers using RISC architecture. The detonator is equipped with a fast precursor excitation system and can be programmed for the required delay time of the detonation of the main charge in the range from a few to several hundred µs. The paper presents the results of laboratory preliminary tests of the implemented system. Thanks to the possibility of delay time programming, the system has a wide range of practical applications also during shooting tests.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
