SIMOCRANE Advanced Technology
SIMOCRANE Sway Control
SIMOCRANE Drive-Based Sway Control
■
Overview
SIMOCRANE Drive-Based Sway Control is embedded in
Siemens drive system – SINAMICS. With its interfaces the
software can be easily integrated into the SINAMICS setpoint
channel. SIMOCRANE Drive-Based Sway
Control encompasses
the following features:
•
Sway is damped during manual travel. After the axis has
stopped or reached a constant velocity, a little or no load sway
remains
•
Focus on the single axis solution with AC/AC drive and corre-
sponding SINAMCIS Power Module PM340, Power Module in
chassis format and Power Module PM250
•
Pre-configured standard applications for trolley or gantry with
control via PROFIBUS DP or via I/O signals ("ready-to-run",
only have to be parameterized using script)
•
Can be adapted to customer-specific requirements •
"ready-to-apply" (for adaptation by the user)
SIMOCRANE Drive-Based Sway Control can be applied with or
without the SIMOCRANE Drive-Based Technology. Both technol-
ogies together provide a complete solution within the SINAMICS
world for most mid-performance crane applications.
■
Benefits
•
Crane technology embedded in the drive
•
Fast commissioning
•
Use of standard applications
•
Low cost
■
Application
SIMOCRANE Drive-Based Technology meets the challenges of
mid-performance cranes in harbor and industrial environments.
■
Design
A mid-performance crane application includes the following
components:
Hardware
A distributed single-axis solution with SINAMICS S120 AC/AC
drive and the corresponding Power Modules for trolley and
gantry
•
AC/AC drive comprises SINAMICS CU310-2 Control Unit and
PM250/PM340/PM Power Module in chassis format with
SINAMICS V4.7 Cranes
•
Selectable control via onboard I/O terminals or PROFIBUS
•
An encoder for Hoist is request for providing pendulum length
of trolley and gantry
•
Encoders for trolley and gantry are recommend to insure the
Sway Control performance
