SIMOCRANE crane technology platform
SIMOCRANE Standard Technology
SIMOCRANE offers scalable technology modules for crane
automation to increase productivity. The technology module
basis is SIMOCRANE Basic Technology which can be ex-
panded with the SIMOCRANE Advanced Technology modules
such as Sway Control, Skew Control and Truck Positioning.
The different modules enable the applications required in the
crane environment for automation of manual, semi or fully auto-
matic cranes to be represented.
SIMOCRANE Basic Technology enables and optimizes the
motion control of the different axes of a crane, also interactively.
The software concept is modular, which makes it easier to im-
plement different crane types. The hardware platform for
SIMOCRANE
Basic
Technology is the drive-based SIMOTION
D
Motion Controller. Together with the SINAMICS S120 drives fam-
ily, SIMOCRANE offers a high-performance drive system for total
control of the motion and therefore provides the platform for
automation of the crane.
The software modules for the drives are a component part of
SIMOCRANE Basic Technology:
• Hoist
• Gantry
• Trolley
•
Slewing gear
• Grab
•
Jib (boom hoist) or luffing gear
SIMOCRANE
Drive-Based
Technology is drive-based and offers
a compact functional scope within the SINAMICS environment,
which can also be extended with the SIMOCRANE Drive-Based
Sway Control.
Highlights of Drive-Based Technology are fast commissioning
by using standard applications and a high degree of flexibility
through the appropriate adaptation options.
SIMOCRANE Drive-Based Technology encompasses the follow-
ing features:
•
All of the functions that have been proven in practice and
required for mid-performance applications are available on
the SINAMICS platform for parameterization
•
Pre-configured standard applications for hoist and trolley/
gantry with control via PROFIBUS DP or via I/O signals
("ready-to-run", only have to be parameterized using script)
•
Can be adapted for customer-specific requirements
"ready-to-apply" (for adaptation by the user).
