SIMOCRANE CMS Crane Management System
SIMOCRANE CMS Lean and CMS Basic
Standard package
Measured value acquisition
CMS continuously acquires and archives important parameters,
such as
•
Position values of different components of the crane – hoist,
trolley, gentry, etc.
•
Setpoint inputs and actual values
•
Speed, velocity, etc.
These values can be displayed in the form of trend curves at any
time, and easily configured in RT configuration editors, with no
necessary know-how of engineering or complex programs.
Crane parameter value acquisition – extended configuration in RT envi-
ronment
Cargo handling
The cargo handling data of a crane is acquired and archived in
order of occurrence. The composition of the data fields (cargo
handling data set) is freely configurable and can therefore be
adapted for every crane type.
An overview can be called up in the form of a list at any time at
the press of a button.

Container handling list
The archived data can be made available to higher-level sys-
tems for further evaluation.
MMBF – Mean Moves Between Failures
MMBF (cargo handling moves between failures) is one of the
most important key performance indicators in crane technology.
It provides information on the availability of the crane.
Runtime meter
Maintenance planning systems require counts from runtime me-
ters and counters for the components with relevance to mainte-
nance. These values are originally acquired by the crane cont-
roller. The CMS acquires these values from the controller and
makes them available to higher-level systems.
Screen with Move Data of containers Operating hour counter
It is possible to acquire operating hours and counter values and
process them.
These values can be initialized or backed up in the controller via
the CMS user interface. This function is extremely helpful if the
CPU in the PLC has to be replaced.
