SIMOCRANE application examples
Semi-automatic STS crane
Software structure and function modules
Function blocks of the application example for a semi-automatic STS crane
The figure shows where which software modules execute or
are implemented. The symbols with a green background indi-
cate those function modules that are required especially for the
application described here.
The "sensor controller" includes all function modules for deter-
mining the positions of the containers or vehicles. The
sway
control functions
of SIMOCRANE SC execute on SIMOTION D
as well as the motion control of SIMOCRANE Basic Technology.
The application-specific parts, such as traffic light and cylinder
controllers are implemented on the crane controller (PLC).
Data is exchanged between the 3 units sensor controller,
SIMOTION D and PLC over defined interfaces which is symbol-
ized in the figure by "COMMAND" and "STATUS".
