The sway control system SIMOCRANE SC integrated OHBC, gantry crane comprises a software solution that is based on SIMOCRANE Basic Technology V3.0 and the Control Unit SIMOTION D435‑2 DP/PN. Special sway‑control blocks are combined with Basic Technology blocks with reference to applications, see the Figure "Configuration of SIMOCRANE SC integrated for a bridge crane application".

Commissioning and parameterization of sway control is performed using the supplied SIMOCRANE CeCOMM diagnostics program. The engineering software comprises the same tools as for Basic Technology, SIMOTION SCOUT and Drive Control Chart (DCC). For acquisition of the external disturbance variables, the SIMOCRANE CenSOR camera measuring system can be optionally connected to motion controllers. Commissioning and parameterization of the camera is also performed using the supplied SIMOCRANE CeCOMM diagnostics program.

Configuration of SIMOCRANE SC integrated for a bridge crane application

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.
