The sway control initially functions only with a single hoist or on a crane with several trolleys in individual control, providing the unused trolley is in the parking position (load hook triggers top hoist limiter).

During the joint operation of several trolleys or in tandem operation, the sway control must be separately enabled.

For this work step, access from a laptop or tablet computer to KranOS is necessary. The user "Abnahme" (commissioning) (user level ‚[2]) must be logged in.

   Log in as user "Abnahme" (commissioning) (user level [2]) in KranOS. See Connecting laptop or tablet computer with ABUControl.

   Select the desired hoist (e.g. Hoist 1) in the main menu.

●   The window for the requested hoist appears.

   Click on the "Hoist profile parameter" menu item in the "Settings" menu (three horizontal bars).

●   The "Hoist profile parameter" window appears.

   Click on the "Sway control parameter" menu item in the "Settings" menu (three horizontal bars).

●   The "Sway control parameter" window appears.

   Enabling sway control:

─     "Only for single trolley": The sway control can only be activated for a single hoist or for a crane with several trolleys in individual control, providing the unused trolley is in parking position (top hoist limiter has been contacted by the load hook).

─     "Single and multiple trolleys (joint operation)": The sway control can be activated for a single hoist, for a crane with several trolleys in individual control or in joint operation, and for two cranes in tandem operation.

Instructions for sway control for multiple trolleys:

The calculation of the sway control only functions correctly in joint operation of multiple trolleys or in tandem operation if the crane operator observes these conditions:

─     Crane and trolley must be the same type and size.

─     The load must be slung correctly:

A uniform collective load must be slung so that the hook position and the length of the lifting tackle added together results in the same total length in each case.

An uneven collective load must be slung so that the hook position, the length of the lifting tackle and the distance to the centre of gravity added together results in the same total length in each case.

─     The length of the lifting tackle must be entered:

In joint operation of multiple trolleys, the length of the lifting tackle for trolley 1 must be entered.

In tandem operation, the length of the lifting tackle from the first crane must be entered. The first crane has the IP address 192.168.1.1
