Function
Status display
The status display offers a symbol-oriented, graphical display of
the crane and crane components complete with the current ope-
rating values and statuses. It is a very useful tool for the crane
driver. Important displays are always in view, and detailed views
can be called up in just a few steps. Although the interface is
based on icons, moving the mouse over the elements in the
screen detailed information and text can be visualized in order
to receive information about
the used symbols.
The status display screen provides supplementary information
which will help the crane driver in his work. He is then capable
of recognizing the cause of simple faults, such as interlocking for
certain movements.
A status bar at the top of the screen displays fault states symbo-
lically, and this is supplemented by text messages at the bottom
of the screen.

Replay function (playback)
The replay function is delivered in the standard basic package
of SIMOCRANE CMS. This function enables the personal to visu-
alize (playback) the data in the screens from the past recorded
in the database (similar to a DVD player). Thanks to a replay con-
troller the operator can set different parameters and navigate
through the screens, for example: set time span for replayed
data, use navigation buttons (play, stop, pause, back-forward,
speed, etc.), navigate through different replayed screens. The
screens for the replay/payback function can be freely configura-
ble via Relay Configuration Editor.
