SIMOCRANE Drive‑Based Sway Control is embedded in Siemens drive system – SINAMICS. With its interfaces the software can be easily integrated into the SINAMICS setpoint channel. SIMOCRANE Drive‑Based Sway Control encompasses the following features:

• Sway is damped during manual travel. After the axis has stopped or reached a constant velocity, a little or no load sway remains
• Used for cross travel (trolley) or long travel (gantry) with/without encoder
• Applied for both single‑axis solution with AC/AC drive corresponding SINAMICS PM340 Power Module, Power Module in chassis format and PM250 Power Module and multi‑axis solution with common DC link corresponding SINAMICS S120 in booksize format and chassis format.
• Pre‑configured standard application on CF card for trolley or gantry with control via I/O signals ready‑to‑run (only have to be parameterized using Basic Operator Panel or SINAMICS Webserver)
• Can be adapted to customer‑specific requirements ready‑to‑apply (for adaptation by the user)
• Can be used for upgrade the existing crane with sway control function.

SIMOCRANE Drive‑Based Sway Control can be applied standalone or with the SIMOCRANE Drive‑Based Technology. Both technologies together provide a complete solution within the SINAMICS world for most mid‑performance crane applications.
