3. (3)May share temporary connection for programming or software update; requires additional hardware supplied on short term basis by SmartCrane.

Installation

If factory mounted enclosure not selected, installer will need (1) mounting subpanel or other suitable surface, (2) round or square hole for display, (3) a length of M12 5-conductor cable to wire hoist encoder to drum, and (4) other cables to connect input and output signals. 

Commissioning

The SmartCrane display supports all phases of commissioning, including calibration of hoist sensor, setting optional input signals, ramp times and delay times, and swing timing tests to fix swing period adjustment factors.  The display can be moved temporarily for convenience.

If only one dimension of motion requires antisway, operator can use display to designate up to 5 automatic move positions.

When fully commissioned, the system will supply anti-sway signals based on operator demands, using fine adjustments to measured hoist length.

If automatic moves are enabled, the system may be configured to require a constant high signal from operator control (deadman) to begin or continue motion

No Programming

The SmartCrane software is complete as delivered.  No computer or computer training is required.
