The sway control system is a standalone solution. The SIMOCRANE CeSAR standalone OHBC, gantry crane communicates with the crane controller (PLC) tasked with providing motion control functionality via the PROFIBUS‑DP interface.

The sway control system SIMOCRANE CeSAR standalone OHBC, gantry crane consists of the following components:

• SIMOTION C240 PN with integrated PROFIBUS interface

In systems with "sight", the SIMOCRANE CenSOR camera measuring system can be optionally connected to SIMOTION C.

Commissioning and parameterization of sway control is performed using the SIMOCRANE CeCOMM diagnostics program.

Support for slewing gear

This configuration can support not only a trolley axis and a gantry axis, but also slewing gear. The previous hoist axis is replaced for this purpose by the slewing gear axis. With the slewing gear axis, it is possible to damp rotational vibration of the rotary axis (also applies to hook slewing gear). For cranes with hook slewing gear, automatic positioning of the slewing gear is possible, if a shaft encoder is used.
