More Information
Summary:The crane controller has a lifting mechanism (5) for lifting a load suspended on a rope (4), which is operated in cable power mode in which lifting is controlled, so that a target value of the rope force is adjusted. The speed and/or position of winch are controlled, so that the desired value of the cable force is established. The actual value of cable force is determined by comparing actual value and setpoint of cable force. Independent claims are included for the following: (1) a crane control system; (2) a method for controlling a crane; and (3) a software code for controlling a crane.
