Function
Crane down time monitoring (crane availability and Gantt
views)
On each CMS the KPI‘s or crane availability can be visualized
thanks to the WinCC option package Performance Monitor. The
calculation of KPI’s or data representation for CMS is automati-
cally integrated into the project. Pre-defined reports and data re-
presentation can any time recalled in order to generate advan-
ced reports fast and easy. Data representation is very easy and
the option package Performance Monitor has several very useful
functions standard on board.

In order to access MS SQL data and retrieve data at one click of
the mouse, a tool in Microsoft Excel was developed. The Excel
tool can be installed on any office PC in the terminal. The only
prerequisite to access the MS SQL data from archive on CMS &
RCMS stations is to have connection to the CMS & RCMS PC.
This can be checked via integrated Topology Configuration
Menu, where the CMS & RCMS stations, with PC name and IP
address are to be defined.
Using the Excel data access tool, all alarms and archive tags
form achieves in CMS and RCMS stations can be retrieved and
visualized in the Excel sheet integrated into the delivered tool.
Statistics of alarms and information from operational data, such
as moves, MMFB, counters, timers, etc. can be easy visualized
and saved in the Excel data sheet. The Excel tool is an applica-
tive solution, delivered standard with CMS Application and free
of charge with the SIMOCRANE CMS and RCMS product.
