Crane control program

Dedicated AC drives for standalone crane applications

Standalone cranes that require independent movements can
benefit from using ACS850 with crane control program. This
combination provides stepless speed and torque control of
the crane along with control of the mechanical brake and
other crane functionality.

Crane applications that can benefit from these functions,

whether new or retrofit are:

− Tower cranes in hoist, trolley and slew motions

− Industrial cranes in hoist, trolley and long travel motions

Crane control program is flexible to use

The ready-made crane control program can interface with
analog, digital or fieldbus systems, enabling a wide range
of connectivity for start, stop and reference change signals.
The program includes four different user sets for customizing
the parameter settings for multiple configurations. Each user
set includes two different control places and an overriding
emergency control place.

Crane control program features

− Mechanical brake control for improved safety
− Reference handling flexibility
− Enhanced safety with motor speed matching and
overspeed protection
− Load speed control optimizes crane capacity
− Safety control to keep crane within limits
− Slack rope detection increases safety on crane drums
− Function block programming for extended functions
− Homing mode for defining position of crane or hook
− Crane load analyzer monitors loading
− Maintenance counters
− Support for conical motors

Connect multiple drives to an Ethernet or GPRS network history of the installation.
In addition to a standard Ethernet port, the SREA-01 has a
serial port for connection to a standard GSM/GPRS modem for
Internet connectivity in isolated places. The modem connection
enables sending e-mail or SMS messages, uploading data files
by FTP, or accessing the SREA-01 web pages.

The SREA-01 is connected to the panel port, or alternatively

to the Modbus interface, of a drive. A maximum of 10 drives
can be connected to a single SREA-01 module over Ethernet
or EIA-485 serial communication networks. Simultaneous use
of the two connection methods is possible, allowing access to
different types of drives. In addition, Modbus TCP commands
from a PLC to a drive are supported in the remote monitoring
mode.

applications
For collecting data from the drive, process or data analysis,
the SREA-01 has a configurable data logger that can store
values from the devices to a file, with sample intervals between
ten seconds and one hour. The files are stored internally for
visualization with a web browser. Data in standard comma
separated values (CSV) file format can be imported to
applications such as Microsoft Excel for processing.

The collected data logs can be sent by e-mail or FTP, either

through a local area network or the Internet. The sending
interval can be configured by the user, with logs sent, for
example, hourly or weekly. In addition to its data logging
functionality, the SREA-01 also has an internal Modbus TCP
gateway, providing a standard interface that can be used by
supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) applications
to display drive information in real time.
