SIMOCRANE application examples
Mid-performance OHBC crane
■
Application
This application example describes a simple configuration
for an overhead bridge crane (OHBC) which applies the
SIMOCRANE solution for mid-performance market.
Application example
The objective is to equip an overhead crane with necessary
crane-specific technology such as start-pulse function for hoist,
and masterswitch function for trolley (cross travel) and gantry
(long travel). Furthermore, a sway damping is required for
manual operation of trolley and gantry. In this way, it can relieve
a crane operator and increases the crane productivity.
The following example shows a typical hardware configuration
used in mid-performance crane applications. It involves an over-
head bridge crane (OHBC), controlled by using I/O signals.
The SIMOCRANE Drive-Based Technology provides crane-
specific functions, e.g. start-pulse and load-depending
field-weakening for hoist, and masterswitch and prelimit function
for trolley and gantry. Furthermore, the SIMOCRANE
Drive-Based Sway Control can damp sway in manual operation
for trolley and gantry, so both products meet the challenge of
most applications in mid-performance market.
