SIMOCRANE Standard Technology
SIMOCRANE Basic Technology
Motion control
SIMOCRANE Basic Technology software
The SIMOCRANE Basic Technology package not only provides
the basic functionality, the SIMOTION Motion Control technology
package (for positioning, synchronous operation, etc.) and stan-
dard libraries, but also the Crane Basic Technology package
complete with 2 libraries. The package also contains several
complete standard applications for cranes.
The modular software concept makes it easier to automate dif-
ferent crane types. With the help of the open software, all crane-
specific technologies or functions can be supplied to the user in
the form of function blocks. The software structure is shown for
a coil crane, a container quay crane and a ship unloading crane
in the following examples. Each axis of motion is mapped using
a function module in the software. Controlling and coordinating
the axes are realized at the application level.
