SIMOCRANE Crane Management System
System overview
Overview of SIMOCRANE CMS/RCMS main components
Experience has shown that a number of functions always remain
mostly the same in crane projects for Crane Management Sys-
tems. This means that the modules can be reused in other pro-
jects as well. In some cases, project dependent configurations
are necessary in order to fulfill the customer requirements. Most
of this requirements are related to CMS screens, which are part
of the CMS standard application. The CMS system from Siemens
is sufficiently open to allow the customer to fulfill these require-
ments with own project engineering work.
The standard CMS application can cover the most commonly
used harbor cranes (for example STS, RMG, RTG) and industrial
cranes (for example ladle crane).
The CMS application is used by way of example and can be any
time changed and adapted to the customer needs.
SIMOCRANE CMS package components: WinCC, CMS Application and
CMS Product (green components are Cranes specific items based on
own development)
Interface between PLC & Drives components and CMS
Normally the Crane Management System is connected directly
to a PLC or Drive components. In case of the SIMOCRANE
CMS,
the channel used is an S7 channel available in WinCC for Sie-
mens controllers of S7 type, S7 300 and S7 400. When S7-1500
TIA Portal is to be used, the interface should be tested and ad-
apted to the customer requirements – please make enquiry for
this kind of applications of our Customer Support department or
Cranes Application Support (for contact data please refer to the
separate section).
Standard interface between S7 and Drives and SIMOCRANE CMS
The interface is based on a defined standard based on a
S7 300/400 controller. Such interface is standardized on using
other SIMOCRANE based product family, such as Basic Techno-
logy (BT), Drive Based Technology (DBT), Sway Control (SC),
Truck Positioning System (TPS) and ECO Technology. The inter-
face is provided in a separate document, where the detailed
tags in WinCC and DB structure in S7 is described. This docu-
ment is to be downloaded free on the customer support page
from Siemens. When using the standard S7 channel from
WinCC, advanced diagnostic functions can be generated and
used directly in the CMS Application project with a very limited
effort. This makes possible that diagnosis functions from S7
layer are to be integrated directly into the CMS level.
