Foreword
The AddOn sway control system
The AddOn sway control system "SIMOCRANE SC integrated OHBC, Gantry crane" is part
of the SIMOCRANE Advanced Technology and is designed for crane control systems with
SIMOTION D435-2 DP/PN and SIMOCRANE Basic Technology. It can be operated with or
without the SIMOCRANE CenSOR camera measuring system.
This document contains detailed information about the system, its function, engineering,
installation and commissioning as well as service and maintenance measures.
Applications
The AddOn sway control system is used to prevent load sway on overhead bridge cranes
(OHBC) and gantry cranes, for example, RMGs and RTGs. As a consequence, the crane
operator can position his crane precisely and quickly, therefore speedily and safely handling
goods without damaging them.
Cranes for harbors and industrial areas with trolley, gantry and either slewing gear or hoist
are suitable applications for this system. The trolley, gantry, and slewing gear can be
operated simultaneously with sway control.

2.1
General
2.1.1
Field of application of the AddOn sway control system
Every movement of the gantry, trolley or slewing gear causes the load to sway. This makes
positioning more difficult, and it takes correspondingly longer. The main task of the AddOn
sway control system is to neutralize sway. This makes automatic positioning possible. This
can relieve the crane operator and increase the handling capacity.
Without an electronic sway control system, implementing crane control systems in semi- and
fully automatic operation (e.g. coil storage locations in steelworks) is hardly conceivable.
The technology module T300 with MASTERDRIVES drive for crane-specific technology was
used in the previous crane application solution. Since mid 2007, the new industry solution
SIMOCRANE Basic Technology has been available.
The new platform based on a SIMATIC S7 - SIMOTION - SINAMICS hardware configuration
contains the motion control of all main drives of a crane. The modular construction makes it
possible to customize the system to the associated crane.
The sway control system described in these operating instructions is designed as an AddOn
for the purpose of extending the existing industry solution SIMOCRANE Basic Technology
with SIMOTION D435-2 DP/PN.
Overview
The AddOn sway control system SIMOCRANE SC integrated OHBC, Gantry Crane can
be integrated into a SIMOTION D435-2 DP/PN.
Sway motion is calculated and corrected based on a mathematical oscillation model.
The system can be operated in one of two configurations, i.e. with or without a
SIMOCRANE CenSOR camera measuring system.
2.1.2
Trolley and gantry
Depending on the selected operation mode, either manual operation (a velocity setpoint is
entered at the master controller) or positioning operation (a target position is entered) are
possible. The operation mode of each drive can be changed over while the crane is moving,
e.g. from "manual" operation mode to "positioning" operation mode, and vice versa.

Slewing gear or hoist
The third drive can be optionally set as either slewing gear or hoist. This is selected using a
configuration parameter (P115).
Depending on the selected operation mode, either manual operation (a velocity setpoint is
entered at the master controller) or positioning operation (a target position is entered) are
possible.
The slewing gear can be operated with sway control.

2.2 System overview
SC integrated OHBC, Gantry crane
Operating Instructions, 02/2014 19
2.2.3.2
Version without the SIMOCRANE CenSOR camera measuring system
This version is designed for use on cranes that cannot be equipped with a camera for
design-related reasons, or which operate in harsh environmental conditions, such as
extremely dusty atmospheres or at very high temperatures.
The AddOn sway control system calculates the oscillation states using a mathematical
oscillation model. The version without camera is capable of eliminating most oscillations that
are caused by crane motion. However, it is not capable of suppressing oscillations caused
by external forces such as diagonal pull or wind.
The camera must be deactivated using configuration parameter P115 (setting 1 = On) for the
version without camera. All of the functions, parameters and fault messages described in this
documentation, which refer to the camera, are then suppressed and deactivated.
2.2.3.3
Version with the SIMOCRANE CenSOR camera measuring system
The camera-based version can also compensate for sway motion caused by external factors
(e.g. wind or diagonal pull). A camera measuring system deploys an optical, contactless
measurement technique to calculate additional physical measured variables, i.e. distance
between the camera and reflector, pendulum deflection and rotation. The results are
incorporated in the mathematical oscillation model.
Unlike in the system without a camera, the mathematical oscillation model is compared with
the value really measured by the camera and oscillations caused by external sources can
also be eliminated.
If the measuring signal of the camera fails, only the mathematical oscillation model is used.
Note
For additional information about the camera, please refer to the operating instructions for the
SIMO
CRANE CenSOR camera measuring system, from edition 08/2012.
2.2.4
Operation with slewing gear
2.2.4.1
Guidelines for installation
On slewing gear that rotates the reflector by more than 5°, the camera and reflector must be
mounted so that the slewing motion causes the camera and reflector to rotate
simultaneously. An encoder must also be used.
The oscillation measurements are assigned to the drives (trolley/gantry) by internal
computation based on the actual slewing gear position.

Hook slewing gear
For cranes with hook slewing gear, an encoder is only required when the slewing gear is
automatically positioned.
The camera and the reflector are not rotated simultaneously with the slewing gear on cranes
with hook slewing gear.
2.2.4.3
Skew control
Slewing gear can be operated with a skew control system. By contrast, hook slewing gear
must always be operated with the mathematical oscillation model.

Structure
The MCC source files have the following structure:
The MCC source file "AddOn_SC_OHBC" contains the MCC (Motion Control Chart)
"AddOnMCC"
in which the following function blocks are called:
FB_AddOnSC_ReceiveFromPLC_BT (in conjunction with SIMOCRANE Basic
Technology)
FB_AddOnSC_SendToPLC (transmit data, identical for all interfaces)
The MCC source file "Camera" contains the MCCs "cameramcc" and
"Cam_MV440_mcc".
The following function blocks are called in MCC "cameramcc":
FB_Receive_Analysis (only when a camera is installed)
FB_Send_Preparation (only when a camera is installed)
The following function blocks are called in MCC "Cam_MV440_mcc":
FB_ReadWrite_MV440 (only when a camera is installed)
Explanation
An MCC source file contains flow charts in the form of MCCs. One of the tasks of the
modules contained in the flow charts is to call function blocks (Structured Text). The AddOn
sway control system contains the MCC source files "AddOn _SC_OHBC" and "Camera".
In cyclical operation, the receive function blocks are processed first followed by the send
function blocks.
The function blocks are connected to the SIMATIC S7 by means of globally declared
variables in the I/O area (ADDRESS LIST).
Global variables are used to provide the connection between the function blocks and the
DCC blocks and between the SIMOCRANE Basic Technology (BT) and the DCC blocks.
In order to ensure a high quality of control and eliminate runtime losses, the output velocities
of the drives are transmitted directly to the relevant technology objects. The current position
values are also read directly from the drive.

The data received from the crane control system are processed with the aid of the function
block and forwarded to the global variables DCC_In and DCC_Out. The variables must be
interconnected with the DCC blocks in the CFC editor. These interconnections are already
made in the sample project supplied with the package.

Figure 3-4 Interface of function block "FB_AddOnSC_ReceiveFromPLC_BT"
The variables designated VAR_INPUT in the column ON/OFF (variable type) are the
PROFIBUS receive data from the crane control system.
The variables designated VAR_OUTPUT in the column ON/OFF are provided for the
purpose of interconnecting the DCC blocks in the DCC.
The variable "bError" is set if the received interface identification number (word 0 in the
receive telegram) does not tally with the called function. In this example, the expected
identification number is 5152, i.e. the identifier for SIMOCRANE Basic Technology (see also
Input data, general (Page 110)).
When the SIMOCRANE Basic Technology is in use, the crane control system transfers only
control words to the AddOn sway control. The other data are made available via the interface
to the SIMOCRANE Basic Technology and the other technology objects. The module
"DCC_In.Trolley.V_Set" in which variables are assigned is positioned immediately
downstream of the module "Receive PLC"
The module "Send PLC" calls the function block "FB_AddOnSC_SendToPLC". The output
values and status bits computed by the sway control system are processed and returned to
the crane control system via PROFIBUS.

Sequence of the MCC source file "Camera"
The MCCs "cameramcc“ and "Cam_MV440_mcc" are processed in the MCC source file
"Camera".
The chart "cameramcc" processes communication functions via the Ethernet UDP. The chart
"Cam_MV440_mcc" is used to process communication functions via PROFINET.
The active communication channel is determined on the basis of the IP address of the
camera. Communication via PROFINET is generally recommended. If PROFINET is used,
the CBE30-2 module is required.
Figure 3-6 MCC "Cam_MV440_mcc" (PROFINET communication)
The function block "FB_ReadWrite_MV440" processes the data exchange with the camera
on the basis of handshake signals and also prepares the sent and received data. The
measurement results and status information are assigned to globally defined variables of the
MCC source file "Camera". The camera data are processed in the DCC blocks
"DCC_SC_COMMON" and "DCC_SC_CAMERA".
The function block "FB_ReadWrite_MV440" is executed only if the IP address of the camera
that is set in the SIMOCRANE CeCOMM diagnostic program is zero.

3.1.4
Control structure
3.1.4.1
Operation mode "Manual" without sway control
In this mode, the AddOn sway control only contains the setpoint channel with a ramp-
function generator. The ramp-up and ramp-down of the output velocity that is output depend
on the set accelerations without sway control. V_set is used as the set velocity. There are
other ways of influencing the setpoint, e.g. prelimit switch function.
3.1.4.2
Operation mode "manual" with sway control
In addition to the function (described above), the output velocity is influenced by the sway
control algorithm. This controls the existing sway. This lengthens the ramp-up and ramp-
down times of the output velocity and they are no longer linear.
The influence of the sway control can be set by the damping factors (P16, P17, P56, P57,
P146, P147).
The current value of the existing sway is calculated by means of a mathematical oscillation
model. If a camera is used, the mathematical oscillation model is constantly compared with
the value really measured by the camera.
3.1.4.3
Operation mode "Positioning" without sway control
Case 1: The position controller (P15, P55, P145) is set to values greater than zero
In this case, a position controller is active that calculates a set velocity as a function of the
target position S_Target, the actual position S_Act, the active accelerations, and the
positioning velocity. The sway control algorithm is not active.
Case 2: The position controller (P15, P55, P145) is set to values less than zero
In this case, the position controller is effective shortly before the braking phase. Otherwise,
see case 1.

3.1.4.4
Operation mode "Positioning" with sway control
Case 1: The position controller (P15, P55, P145) is set to values greater than zero
In this case, a position controller has the effect of positioning without sway control, but the
sway control algorithm is active. For that reason, a correction value S_Corr is additionally
subtracted at the position controller input. In this case, the sway control algorithm provides
the correction value S_Corr. The influence of the sway control can be set by the damping
factor (P16, P56, P146).
Case 2: The position controller (P15, P55, P145) is set to values less than zero
In this case, the position controller is effective shortly before the braking phase. Otherwise,
see case 1.
3.1.4.5
Using an external position controller
The correction value S_Corr (path correction by sway control) is also transmitted through the
interface to the SIMATIC S7. This enables the user to use sway control with an external
position controller, too. For more details, see Chapter Positioning in the operation mode
"manual" with S_corr (Page 105).

Function
Brief description
1 General All drive data and camera measured values are acquired concurrently in
the "DCC_SC_COMMON" block. All data is grouped and the output values
are calculated. The block also controls the communication to the
SIMOCRANE CeCOMM diagnostic program. This block must be present.
2 Camera The block "DCC_SC_CAMERA" makes data available for the
communication with the camera and accepts the camera measured
values.
3 Trolley control The block "DCC_SC_TROLLEY" controls the trolley in all operating
modes. The behavior of the trolley is influenced by the control signals
generated by the block. Apart from status bits, etc., the block also issues
an output velocity.
4 Gantry control The block "DCC_SC_GANTRY" controls the gantry in all operating modes.
The behavior of the gantry is influenced by the control signals generated
by the block. Apart from status bits, etc., the block also issues an output
velocity.
5 Slewing gear or
hoist control
The block "DCC_SC_SLEW_HOIST" controls either slewing gear or a hoist
(without sway control) in all operation modes. The behavior of the slewing
gear or hoist is influenced by the control signals generated by the block.
Apart from status bits, etc., the block also issues an output velocity.
6 Diagnostics
The inputs and outputs for the SIMOCRANE CeCOMM diagnostic program
are controlled by the block "DCC_SC_DIAG."
Note
The source code of every DCC block is closed.
A license is required.
Unless otherwise stated, the following statements apply to all DCC blocks:
Firmware version
SIMOTION Drive Based (D4x5): Firmware V4.3 or higher
SINAMICS: Firmware V4.5.0 or higher

DCC_SC_COMMON
Icon
Brief description
This function block contains basic functions for all DCC blocks as well as sway control
functions. It must always be used.
Method of operation
The block "DCC_SC_COMMON" provides data for communication with the crane control
system; these include all data that are not drive-specific.
All data are merged and the output values computed internally in the block.
Furthermore, the Java application block "Buffer_OHBC.jar" provides the addresses for a
shared data memory area. This memory area is used both for communication with the
SIMOCRANE CeCOMM diagnostic program and for file read and write operations
(parameters, language, etc.).
The three last outputs of the block are in the background in the default setting. They specify
memory locations and buffer sizes for the Java communication. Their comments must not be
changed.
Connections
The DCC block inputs are connected by means of the global variables of the MCC source
file "AddOn_SC_OHBC" with the outputs of the block "FB_AddOnSC_ReceiveFromPLC_BT".
The DCC block outputs are interconnected with the inputs of the block
"FB_AddOnSC_SendToPLC" by means of global variables.

Copying I/O variables
The I/O variables specified in the ADDRESS LIST are used in the communication process.
Receive and send process data must be configured for each communication node.
To be able to copy the I/O variables from the sample project into the user project, you must
open the user project and the sample project with SIMOTION SCOUT.
The I/O variables of the sample project are displayed in the screenshot below:

DP.
All input data must be processed in the crane control system in accordance with the interface
description (see Chapter Interface description (Page 107)).
All output data must be processed in the crane control system in accordance with the
interface description.
In the sample project, you will find SIMATIC S7 sample blocks that can be used for
incorporation into an existing crane control system.
This chapter describes the process of linking SIMOCRANE SC integrated OHBC, Gantry
crane into a configuration which includes SIMOCRANE Basic Technology and a SIMATIC
S7 system.
It is in principle possible to use another make of PLC in place of the SIMATIC S7.

Description
FC2020 SC_MAIN_BT This is the central block which needs to be called in
OB1 of the user program. It is in this block that all other
functions are called. All settings which are required to
set up a functional communication link are made in this
block. All user data are also entered in this block (as the
input and output data of the called functions).
FC2021 SC_SEND_BT The input data of the AddOn sway control system are
written to the I/O address area from send data block
DB2013 in function FC2021. For this purpose, the data
block number and the start addresses as stated in
Chapter Communication with SIMATIC S7 (Page 55)
must be entered as the input data for function FC2021
(in function FC2020).
FC2005 SC_RECEIVE The output data of the AddOn sway control system are
written from the I/O address area to receive data block
DB2010 in function FC2005.
For this purpose, the data block number and the start
addresses as stated in Chapter Communication with
SIMATIC S7 (Page 55) must be entered as the input
data for function FC2005 (in function FC2020).
FC2006 SC_COMMON Function for transferring general data. The user data
are described in detail in Chapter Interface description
(Page 107)
. The block requires the number of the

Commissioning the SIMATIC S7 sample blocks
Proceed as follows to commission the SIMATIC S7 sample blocks:
1. Isolate the drives from the power supply, e.g. by opening the main switch (actuate
Emergency Off button)
2. This will ensure that none of the drives can start up independently if an error occurs.
3. Transfer all functions and data blocks to the SIMATIC S7 user project
4. Before any data blocks are transferred, make sure that none of the block numbers is
assigned more than once to prevent overwriting of important blocks in the user program.
5. Set the correct start addresses and data block numbers for sending and receiving
6. FC2022 (SC_AXIS_BT) is called multiple times (once for each drive used). The drive for
which FC2022 has been called is determined at input "AXIS" as indicated below:
1 = Trolley
2 = Gantry
3 = Slewing gear / hoist (Only one drive can be selected. The drive is selected with
parameter P115).
7. Call FC2020 in OB1 of the SIMATIC S7 user program
8. If required: Transfer OB82 to the SIMATIC S7 user program
9. The control bit "Operation Mode Sway Control" (from the SIMATIC S7 to SIMOCRANE
Basic Technology) must be reset.
This ensures that the output velocities of the AddOn sway control system will not be
applied yet.
The communication system is now functional and you can start to program and test the user
data.

Communication tests between SIMATIC S7 ↔ AddOn sway control
system
Preconditions
The SIMATIC S7 sample blocks have been commissioned as described in Chapter
Interface to the crane control system (Page 89).
The drives must be isolated from the power supply (e.g. by actuation of the Emergency
Off button).
The control bit "Operation Mode Sway Control" (from the SIMATIC S7 to SIMOCRANE
Basic Technology) must be reset.
Interface to the crane control system
5.4 Communication tests between SIMATIC S7 ↔ AddOn sway control system
SC integrated OHBC, Gantry crane
Operating Instructions, 02/2014 93
Procedure
The most effective way to test the communication path is to set the control bit "Release" of
one of the drives used (this is implemented in function FC2020 in the SIMATIC S7). Setting
this control bit also sets the status bit "Ready" of the drive in question. This means that the
communication path from the AddOn sway control system to the SIMATIC S7 can also be
tested.
When the Release control bit is set (or is generated by an alternating signal, for example, by
a bit of the clock memory), this signal must arrive at the DCC block (see diagram of DCC
blocks in the DCC SwayControl).
It must also be possible to view the bit in display screen 1 (PROFIBUS interface) with the
SIMOCRANE CeCOMM diagnostic program. (see Fig. "SIMOCRANE CeCOMM diagnostic
program display screen 2"). Furthermore, the readings of the telegram counters "Sent" and
"Received" must also be incremented if the communication link is functioning properly.
The status bit "Ready" can be viewed in the same way in the DCC chart and with the
SIMOCRANE CeCOMM diagnostic program. This bit must also be visible as an input bit in
function FC2020 in the SIMATIC S7.

6.1
Selecting the operation modes
Different operation modes are available for the individual drives (trolley, gantry, slewing gear
or hoist).
These operation modes are set up as follows in the SIMATIC S7 sample block FC2020
(SC_Main_BT) by entering an integer value at the input OM of FC2022 (SC_Axis_BT):
1 = positioning
2 = manual
3 = sway neutralization load position
4 = sway neutralization drive position
Note
Only the "positioning" and "manual operation" modes are available for the hoist.
6.2
Switchover from operation without AddOn sway control ↔ operation
with AddOn sway control
Note
This switchover must only be possible when all drives are at a standstill (zero speed).
Operation without AddOn sway control
The set velocity V_set is read in by the SIMATIC S7 and transferred to SIMOCRANE Basic
Technology in the SIMOTION D. The control bit "Operation Mode Sway Control" (from the
SIMATIC S7 to SIMOCRANE Basic Technology) must be reset. The control bit "Release"
(from the SIMATIC S7 to the AddOn sway control system) must also be reset.
The output velocities are then transferred directly from SIMOCRANE Basic Technology to
the technology objects of the relevant drives. With this configuration, the AddOn sway control
system does not perform any function.

Technology in the SIMOTION and finally forwarded to the AddOn sway control system. The
control bit "Operation Mode Sway Control" (from the SIMATIC S7 to SIMOCRANE Basic
Technology) must be set.
The control bit "Release" (from the SIMATIC S7 to the AddOn sway control system) must
also be set.
The output velocities are then transferred from the AddOn sway control system to the
technology objects of the relevant drives. With this configuration, the output velocities from
SIMOCRANE Basic Technology do not perform any function.
The set velocity V_set can be modified (e.g. reduced to prelimit switch velocity) before it is
passed to the AddOn sway control in the SIMATIC S7 or the SIMOTION D (SIMOCRANE
Basic Technology). However, the output velocity issued by the AddOn sway control system
must not be manipulated in any way (e.g. by a limiting function or an additional ramp).
6.3
Pre-assignment of the interfaces
Input data must be pre-assigned in the SIMATIC S7 depending on the operation modes,
functions and the configuration used (P115). It is important that functions that are not used
must also be pre-assigned as defined.
Examples:
If a load measured value is not available, then this must be assigned zero. The same is
true for the "DigitalLiftCorrection" control bit if no information is available about a changed
load carrying device.
The control bit "SC_On" must not be set if the third drive is employed as a hoist.
All control bits that refer to the planned detour control (not available in this version) must
also not be set.
Fault value suppression for "V_set" with "manual operation" mode
Suppression of any potential fault values in the crane control system must be ensured for
V_set = 0 in order to prevent any unintended motions, for instance as follows: If "V_set" is
less than a certain value (e.g. 0.5 %), the value 0 is transmitted to the sway control.

6.4
Sensing and monitoring the position actual values
6.4.1
Importance of position sensing
Accurate sensing of the actual position values for all drives operated in the "positioning"
operation mode is vitally important. For cases such as these, it is recommended that a
redundant position sensing system is provided with self-monitoring function in the PLC.
The measuring system should always provide the best possible reproducibility of the
positions with respect to reality (laser, position sensing rails etc.).
6.4.2
Checking the correct position sensing
The sway control system is defined in such a way that a positive output velocity results in
travel motion with increasing position values (positive count direction). To fulfill this criterion,
a gain factor (P5, P45, P135) and an offset value (P6, P46, P136) can be applied to convert
the position value. This applies to all drives.
The position determined in the PLC and transmitted to the sway control system should be in
"millimeters". Position values with a precision of 1 c° (centigrade) are required for the slewing
gear. Actual value steps caused by reference marks should be minimized as far as possible.
Manually moving along a track and simultaneously recording the actual position values in the
SIMOCRANE CeCOMM diagnostic program (see SIMOCRANE CeCOMM diagnostic
program (Page 203)) makes it simpler to locate these types of fault locations.
6.4.3
Synchronizing absolute or incremental encoders, referencing
The system is referenced using one or several synchronizing limit switches for each drive.
One or several limit switches must be available for each drive to monitor the position. To do
this, when the limit switch responds (edge evaluation), its known position is compared with
the system position determined at the activation time point. The position difference must lie
within an adjustable, maximum permissible range. If this is not the case, an error message is
generated. At least one of these monitoring limit switches must be positioned so that its
signal state changes once at each unloading or loading operation.

6.5
Generating the "Travelling" control bit
WARNING
Danger to life from unexpected machine movement
Unexpected movements may occur after the crane comes to a standstill while the
"Travelling" control bit is set.
"Travelling" must be reset by the crane control system in the event of an EMERGENCY
STOP or cancellation of the continued travel.
Potential triggers for a cancellation by the sway control are the control bits "Release",
"Brake closed", "Controlled stop" and all limit switches.
The "Travelling" control bit must be activated by a conscious action.
Travel is initiated in the sway control by setting the "Travelling" control bit (travel signal).
The travel signal may then be set in the crane control system if all conditions required to start
travel are met, or if there is no state intended to prevent travel (e.g. EMERGENCY STOP
activated).
If this is the case, then the "Travelling" control bit can be set as soon as a corresponding
actuator is activated by the crane driver (e.g. master controller in "manual" operation mode
or start button / momentary-contact foot switch in "positioning" operation mode).
The "Travelling" control bit must be reset if a state occurs during travel which is intended to
prevent continued travel. There is then a stop with quick stop ramp without sway control.
If the travel can be terminated without a fault, then the "Travelling" control bit should be reset
with the "Pos_completed" status bit. The travel is then terminated with no residual sway and
the target position is reached in "positioning" operation mode.
Operation mode "manual"
When the master controller is deflected, the set velocity (V_set) is transferred to the
sway control; the "Travelling" control bit must be set simultaneously. When the master
controller is released, the set velocity is set to zero; however, the travel signal must remain
active until the sway control sets the status bit "Pos_completed".
Operation mode "positioning"
The "Travelling" control bit is generated according to similar principles applicable to "Manual"
operation mode. However, in this case, a target position is entered. The set velocity "V_set"
is not used in this operation mode. It is positioned with positioning velocity.

6.6 Drive activation and brake control
SC integrated OHBC, Gantry crane
Operating Instructions, 02/2014 99
Operation mode "sway neutralization"
Same procedure applies as in the "positioning" operation mode. The target position is set
internally and depends on the selected operation mode sway neutralization actual position
or load position (actual position + actual pendulum deflection).
Note
The status bit "Po
s_completed" from the sway control system also includes the status
"SC_completed" (AND operation).
6.6
Drive activation and brake control
Use of status bits "Travel_f" and "Travel_b" is recommended for drive activation and brake
control.
If the "Travelling" control bit is set and the brake is still closed, then one of the two direction
signals is set to indicate that the crane should move. Both direction signals result in a travel
command in the crane control system.
This way the drives are activated and the brakes opened in the crane control system. As
soon as the brakes are open, the output velocity is enabled by control bit "Brake_closed".
The output value is provided and the drive starts.
Vice versa: Sway controlled travel is completed once both direction signals have been reset.
The brake can then be closed again in the crane control system.
Note
The brake must be closed when no further direction signals are output; the brake must be
opened in the opposite situation. The real mechanical brake opening t
imes (0.5 s ... 1.0 s)
mean a time delay occurs between the "brake open" signal and "brake closed" signal. For
this reason, the "brake closed" signal should always be applied to the "Brake_closed" control
bit of the relevant drive. This can be used to prev
ent the closed-loop control system from
manifesting a dead time behavior.

End of travel
This example shows the sequence of signals in operation mode "manual".
Travel ends when the "Pos_completed" status bit (positioning completed) is set by the
sway control. This requires that the set velocity "V_Set" is set to zero.
The following signal sequence is performed:

Section 3:
The output velocity is zero, the "Pos_completed" status bit is set.
Section 4:
The "Travelling" control bit must be reset (see Chapter Generating the "Travelling" control bit
(Page 98)). Direction signals are no longer output and closure of the brake is therefore
initiated (see Chapter Drive activation and brake control (Page 99)).

Section 5:
The brake has been applied.
WARNING
Danger to life from unexpected machine movement
For as long as the "Travelling" control bit remains set, unexpected movements may occur
after the crane has come to a standstill.
The "Travelling" control bit must be reset by the crane control system in the event of an
EMERGENCY STOP or cancelation of continued travel.
Cancelation by the sway control system may be triggered by the control bits "Release,"
"Brake_closed," "Controlled stop," and all limit switches.
The "Travelling" control bit must be activated by a deliberate action.
6.9
Controlled stop
The control bit "Stop" (controlled stop) can be activated separately for each drive and brings
the drive to a sway-controlled standstill in all operation modes.
One possible use is to interrupt travel in "positioning" operation mode in order to wait for a
particular event.
Another application is the use of the dead-man switch functionality.
In cases such as these, it is not necessary to change the operation mode. This reduces the
crane control programming requirements.
Stopping is complete when the status bit "Pos_completed" is set for the relevant drive.
While braking, it is possible to withdraw the "Stop" control bit (controlled stop). As soon as
the bit has been reset, and the "Travelling" control bit is set, the drive starts to move again.

Operating Instructions, 02/2014 105
6.10
Positioning in the operation mode "manual" with S_corr
It is possible to use the sway control in "manual" operation mode for an external position
controller.
The magnitude of the set velocity "V_set" is calculated by the following formula and must
therefore be limited to the desired positioning velocity.
In this case:
a: desired deceleration
Δs: position difference
Δs = target position - actual position - distance correction by sway control (S_corr)
Velocity "V_set" must have a direction-dependent sign and must be available as a quantity in
mm/s.
6.11
Normalization
When SIMOCRANE Basic Technology is used (if control bit "V_SET_MM_S = 1), the receive
data for the set velocity "V_set" and the actual velocity "V_act" are interpreted as physical
quantities in mm/s. The output velocity "V_mm_s" is also transmitted as a physical quantity in
mm/s.
The values do not need to be normalized in this instance.

CTRL-BITS - general control bits
Control bits, general block (see Chapter Control bits, general (Page 112)).
Load - actual load
The load weight is the actually measured load value in 10 kg steps. This value can be used
as basis to correct the effective pendulum length. For higher load values, the center of
gravity is shifted somewhat downwards. For trolley and gantry, there is a correction factor
P25 or P65 for each ("Analog correction of the effective pendulum length"). The transferred
load mass results in continuous extension of the pendulum length when using these
parameters in mm/kg. The parameters are defined when commissioning the system, by
determining the effective pendulum length with attached load. The two correction factors P25
and P65 can be determined based on the difference of the effective pendulum lengths.
The value must be limited to the value range 0...65535 (corresponding to 0...655350 kg) in
the crane control system in order to prevent counter overflows.
Note
Correction based on the load weight is only required for significantly fluctuating load
cha
nges, e.g. when transporting casting ladles in a steel plant. Not all cranes are equipped
with load measuring equipment. For cases in which the load is relatively constant (e.g. coils
or slabs), it is sufficient to apply a fixed offset value (mm).

S_DEFL - pendulum deflection
Current distance of the reflector from its home position in the direction of the trolley.
When a camera is being used, the real deflection value is measured and output. The
mathematical oscillation model is calibrated with this value. Without a camera, this output
returns the load deflection based on the mathematical oscillation model.
S_corr - distance correction by sway control, trolley
With external position control, the "S_corr" value is required to form the position difference
which represents the input variable for the external position controller.
Position difference = target position - actual position - distance correction by sway control
Note
"S_corr" is transmitted from the sway control to the crane control system as an INT value. In
the sample block, this value is converted to a DINT value and can be further processed as a
DINT value.

General
8.1.1
AddOn sway control function
Operation and characteristics
The sway control receives the pendulum deflection value from the camera measuring
system. If the measuring signal fails, calculations are based on the current states of the
mathematical oscillation model.
Generally, the sway control system has the following characteristics:
Load sway is eliminated when the steady state velocity or standstill is reached.
In positioning operation, the load only overshoots the target position by a very small
amount.
You can assign parameters to the sway control system using the SIMOCRANE CeCOMM
diagnostic program (see Chapter Parameter sets (Page 153)). The sway control can receive
input data (e.g. control bits, setpoints) from the crane control system and transfer output data
(e.g. status bits, output values) to the crane control system via the PROFIBUS interface.
Operating principle of the sway control system
A non-periodic characteristic of the load deflection is obtained. The acceleration value is not
constant. It varies depending on the state of the mathematical oscillation model and the
measured pendulum deflection. The acceleration times equal approximately 1.1 times the
natural oscillation duration of the load oscillation. The travel operations place very low stress
levels on the crane structure.

Parameter sets
8.1.2.1
Overview
Parameters are assigned to the sway control system using the SIMOCRANE CeCOMM
diagnostic program as shown in the following overview:
1)
... or where a fault is detected for the relevant parameter set
2)
This parameter set is effective.
Figure 8-2 Editing parameter sets in the SIMOCRANE CeCOMM diagnostic program
All the parameters in the parameter list are available in fours, i.e. in the form of four current
parameter sets.
To be able to respond appropriately to the requirements of individual handling tasks (e.g.
changes in acceleration), you can adjust the relevant parameter settings in each of the
current parameter sets. In other words, you can assign four different parameter values in the
four current parameter sets and switch between these sets during operation. This allows you
to operate the sway control system flexibly without having to change parameter settings.
This does not apply to parameters P80, P100, P101, P108, P110, P115, and P159 (see
Chapter Changing a parameter (Page 155)). Changes to the settings of these parameters
are always effective simultaneously in all four current parameter sets.
Function description
8.1 General
SC integrated OHBC, Gantry crane
154 Operating Instructions, 02/2014
In addition to allowing processing of current parameter sets the file manager in the
SIMOCRANE CeCOMM diagnostic program also enables users to access and edit the four
saved text files (parameter files).
These text files are located on the CF card of the SIMOTION D435-2 DP/PN in the directory
/SWAYCONTROL/.
8.1.2.2
Calling up the parameter menu
Parameters are entered and processed via the main menu or via another display screen.
The parameter menu is called by pressing "P" (see Chapter Monitoring functions
(Page 207)). The parameter menu contains an overview of the parameter groups that can
be displayed by page in short form with the keys "1", "2", etc.
Parameters which are not set to their default settings are identified by a "+". When "?"
and the parameter number are entered, a detailed explanation of the parameter is
displayed together with the current value and the default, minimum and maximum values.
The parameter can be changed with "C" and the parameter number. Only values in the
range between the fixed minimum and maximum values can be entered for the
parameter.
If values lower than 20 are input as settings for the acceleration parameters, they will be
interpreted as ramp times and made available for transfer after conversion to the
corresponding acceleration values.
Note the following:
Always use the parameter menu of the SIMOCRANE CeCOMM diagnostic software in
order to edit the parameter sets as this is the only method which guarantees a
plausibility check on the file and ensures that input errors will be rejected.
If you directly edit the stored text files (e.g. Par0.txt) instead, they will not be checked
for plausibility and the entire file could be rendered unusable as a result.
If the acceleration parameters are set to values less than 20 directly in the text files,
these will not be interpreted as ramp times but as acceleration values.
Detailed information about the parameters is contained in Chapter Parameter list
(Page 229) and the online help.
8.1.2.3
Activating a parameter set
A parameter set can be activated with the control bits "Par_Set_Bit0" and "Par_Set_Bit1"
(bits 0 and 1, general control bits). The relevant active parameter set is used by the control.
Function description
8.1 General
SC integrated OHBC, Gantry crane
Operating Instructions, 02/2014 155
8.1.2.4
Editing a parameter set
Irrespective of the active parameter set, all current parameter sets can be edited with the "N"
key - "Edit another parameter set." The required number must be entered and confirmed with
the "Enter" key. The selected parameter set is displayed in the SIMOCRANE CeCOMM
diagnostic program and can then either be edited by pressing "C - Change parameter" or "Y
- Copy parameter." If no parameter set is selected here then the relevant active parameter
set can be edited upon exiting the parameter menu.
Note
When the parameter menu is selected only the parameter set which is active at this point
can be edited. If the active parameter set changes while the parameter menu is b
eing edited
then the parameter set which was active prior to this can still be edited. The parameter set
selected with the "N" key can continue to be edited until the parameter menu is exited again.
The active parameter set can be edited again when the par
ameter set is reselected.
8.1.2.5
Changing a parameter
"C" Change parameters
The parameters of the active parameter set or of the parameter set previously selected by
pressing "N - Edit another parameter set" can be changed using the "C" function.
Note:
Changes to the following parameters are implemented in all parameter sets.
P80

Once the "C" key is activated the parameter number must be entered (e.g. "1" for parameter
P1) and completed with the "Enter" key. The new value is then entered and confirmed twice
with the "Enter" key.

Changed parameters are marked with a "+" and a different font color in the displays ("1" …
"12").
Note
Each parameter changed in the active parameter set is effective immediately but is not
stored permanently. Changed parameters must also be saved per
manently with "S" ("Save
all parameter sets").
All parameter sets are saved at all times.
Note
All parameters whose setting is not absolutely necessary during commissioning and which
were not therefore described explicitly in the appropriate sections s
hould be left with their
default settings and only changed where required.
8.1.2.6
Copying a parameter set
"Y" Copy parameter set
The parameter set that can be edited at this time can be copied to one of the other three
current parameter sets with the "Y" - "Copy parameter set" function. The number of the
target parameter set must be entered.
8.1.2.7
Loading the saved parameter sets
"R" Reload parameters
All saved parameter sets are loaded and the current parameter sets are therefore
overwritten with the parameter sets stored in files "Par0.txt" to "Par3.txt" This is useful when
a parameter has been changed but not saved and the previous version needs to be restored.
If a parameter set is copied into the directory, the parameters must also be reloaded for
updating.
The parameters are reloaded automatically upon power up.

stored permanently. Changed parameters should also be permanently saved with Save "S".
All current parameter sets are saved in all cases.
8.1.2.9
Switching over parameter sets
One of the four current parameter sets can be activated via two selection bits. This enables
the sway control to be operated with different parameter settings without having to change
the parameter assignments.
The parameter P101 "Parameter set locked during travel" can be used to prevent the
switching of parameter sets during travel.

Operation modes
8.1.3.1
Selecting the operation mode
The operation modes are selected using the corresponding control bits and these define
whether the corresponding drive is manually operated, a velocity setpoint is entered or
automatic travel (positioning) should be realized by entering a target position. The "manual"
and "positioning" operation modes are in principle possible with and without sway control.
However, we recommend that the "positioning" operation mode is only used in conjunction
with sway control. Operation without sway control is meaningful in practice only in "manual"
operation mode. You can find more detailed information on this in Chapter Operation mode
"manual" without sway control (Page 162).
8.1.3.2
Operation mode "manual"
In this mode, either a single drive or a group of drives can be operated. Trolley, gantry and
slewing gear can be operated with sway control, but not the hoist.
8.1.3.3
Operation mode "positioning"
In this mode, either a single drive or a group of drives can be operated. Trolley, gantry and
slewing gear can be operated with sway control, but not the hoist.

Operating Instructions, 02/2014 159
8.1.3.4
Operation mode "sway neutralization"
The trolley, gantry and slewing gear drives which can be operated with sway control can also
operate in the sway neutralization operation mode. Using two different control bits, it is
possible to choose between the operation modes "sway neutralization load position" and
"sway neutralization drive position."
We recommend that only one drive at a time be operated in this mode.
This mode can be selected only if the control bit "SC_On" (activate sway control) is set.
8.1.3.5
Fault response
If more than one operation mode per drive is simultaneously selected, then a fault message
"E01" is output (invalid operation mode). It is recommended that such a bit combination is
avoided in the PLC from the beginning, or the fault message mentioned is evaluated with a
delay.
8.1.4
Response in the limit switch
8.1.4.1
Response in the "manual" operation mode
The activation of a limit switch depends on the direction. If a limit switch responds then the
brake is decelerating in the corresponding direction with the quick stop ramp (P12, P52,
P142) without sway control. It can continue to travel unrestricted in the opposite direction.
8.1.4.2
Response in the "positioning" operation mode
The activation of a limit switch is independent of the direction. If a limit switch responds then
irrespective of the direction of motion the brake is decelerating with the quick stop ramp
(P12, P52, P142) without sway control. The limit switch range can be exited again only if the
"manual" operation mode is selected. The limit switches can also be enabled for specific
drives depending on the direction in "positioning" operation mode using parameter P97.

8.1.5
Response in the prelimit switch
8.1.5.1
Response in the "manual" operation mode
Reducing the velocity along a linear ramp
When a prelimit switch is actuated in the "manual" operation mode, the drive is braked at the
deceleration rate set in parameter P14 (trolley), P54 (trolley) and P144 (slewing gear) down
to the prelimit switch velocity.
Using parameters P13 (trolley), P53 (gantry) and P143 (slewing gear or hoist), this value can
be set as a percentage of the maximum velocity.
A linear ramp must always be used to decelerate a drive to this velocity. The sway control is
then only effective in the enabled direction, and as a consequence the effect of the sway
control system cannot be optimally executed.
Parameters P13, P53 and P143 are provided exclusively for braking at the prelimit switches,
and are not limited by the maximum acceleration of the relevant drive P4, P44 and P134.
The hoist is braked according to the setting in parameter P132. This deceleration rate is not
limited by the maximum acceleration in P134 when a prelimit switch is actuated. However
the limit is applied in cases where a prelimit switch has not been actuated.
Reducing the velocity, sway controlled
If softer braking with sway control is required, e.g. if the crane working range is within the
prelimit switch range, then the set velocity at the sway control (generally 10%) must be
reduced in the crane control system. This may also result in a significantly increased braking
distance.
This can be remedied by the provision of additional prelimit switches which are installed at a
greater distance from the limit switch than the prelimit switches for operation without sway
control.
Note
These prelimit switches must be used to reduce the set velocity in the crane control system.
They must not be sent to the corresp
onding control bits in the sway control system as this
would render the linear ramps operative.
If position encoders are installed then the trigger signal can also be generated via software in
the crane control system. The software limit switch must be located so that when the limit
switch is reached, the prelimit switch velocity has already been reached and the load sway
has largely been neutralized.

8.1 General
SC integrated OHBC, Gantry crane
Operating Instructions, 02/2014 161
8.1.5.2
Response in the "positioning" operation mode
In the "positioning" operation mode, when the prelimit switch is actuated the output velocity
is reduced with sway control. This is achieved by limiting the positioning velocity to the
prelimit switch velocity. Using parameters P13 (trolley), P53 (gantry) and P143 (slewing gear
or hoist), this value can be set as a percentage of the maximum velocity (default 10%).
The deceleration in the prelimit switch range can be set using parameters P14 (trolley), P54
(gantry) and P144 (slewing gear). However, for control-related reasons, these are limited
and only effective if the value lies between the setpoint acceleration and maximum
acceleration. The setpoint acceleration level takes effect if the value is less than the setpoint
acceleration level. The axis is braked with the maximum deceleration level if the value is
greater than the maximum acceleration level.
The hoist is braked according to the setting in parameter P132. This deceleration rate is also
limited by the maximum acceleration in P134 when a prelimit switch responds.

8.2 Operation mode "manual"
SC integrated OHBC, Gantry crane
162 Operating Instructions, 02/2014
8.2
Operation mode "manual"
8.2.1
Operation mode "manual" without sway control
In "manual" operation mode without sway control the set velocity V_Set is specified by
SIMOCRANE Basic Technology. Linear acceleration or braking is then applied to this
velocity. The load sway is ignored.
When operating the crane in "manual" operation mode without sway control, the following
points must be noted:
The accuracy of the setpoint channel must be reviewed at the start of commissioning.
The most practical approach is to do this without sway control activated; this is because
in this particular case, neither the camera signal nor the correct pendulum length is
required. For example, for incorrect setpoint polarities, the sway motion can be further
increased in a sway-controlled mode. This situation could then only be brought under
control with an EMERGENCY STOP.
To perform the commissioning steps, test runs are required, which are carried out with
the sway control deactivated.
Internal deactivation of the sway control function (see Chapter Operation mode "manual"
with sway control (Page 163)) means that the travel is completed without the sway control
activated.
If the camera signal fails during regular operation (e.g. because the reflector is dirty etc.),
then sway-controlled operation is still maintained. In this case, the mathematical
oscillation model is used instead of the camera signal.
If the camera measuring system permanently reports error E10 "camera measuring
system impaired", then after 14 s, error message E11 "Camera measuring system
faulted" is generated. In this state, the sway control can only be operated based on the
mathematical oscillation model. The sway control must always be deactivated if the
measured distance to the camera is used to calculate the pendulum length (P108 = ON).
If the position sensing functions for the hoist report a fault in the crane control system
during regular operation, travel may only continue without the sway control active in case
the faulty position is used to calculate the effective pendulum length.
If operations are performed with pendulum lengths < P83, then travel only takes place
with the mathematical oscillation model with sway control. This state can only be
maintained for a limited period, Travel can subsequently only take place without sway
control (see also Chapter Other settings (Page 196)).
Function description
8.2 Operation mode "manual"
SC integrated OHBC, Gantry crane
Operating Instructions, 02/2014 163
8.2.2
Operation mode "manual" with sway control
In "manual" operation mode with sway control the set velocity V_Set is specified by
SIMOCRANE Basic Technology. The system accelerates or brakes to this velocity in such a
way that all load sway is eliminated by the time the acceleration or braking operation is
completed.
Activating the operation mode
"Manual" operation mode is activated by setting the relevant operation mode bit at the drives
(see the tables in Chapters Trolley control bits (Page 114), Gantry control bits (Page 118),
and Slewing gear control bits (Page 122)). This operation mode can be started from all other
operation modes without having to stop the drives. Hoist movements are possible while the
trolley, gantry, or slewing gear is being operated with sway control and have very little effect
on the quality of the sway control.
Internal deactivation of the sway control function
The sway control is internally deactivated under the following conditions (although operation
is still possible without sway control):
The "SC_On" control bit is reset.
The activation velocity (P20, P60, P150) was not achieved.
The "SC_Only_OnStop" control bit has been set. The sway control system is only active
when stopping.
The hoist is located outside the sway control limits (P84, P85).
The pendulum length is not within the minimum/maximum length limits (P86, P87).
The license is corrupt or missing.
Sway control only when stopping
Sway control is active continuously (control bit "SC_Only_OnStop" = 0):
The load sway is corrected during travel and is eliminated when either a constant velocity
is reached or the crane stops moving.
Sway control is active only during stopping (control bit "SC_Only_OnStop" = 1):
The load sway is corrected only during braking and is eliminated altogether after the
crane stops moving.
Note
Sway control can be activated only if control bit "SC_On" is set.
Function description
8.2 Operation mode "manual"
SC integrated OHBC, Gantry crane
164 Operating Instructions, 02/2014
Activating/deactivating the sway control function
The sway control function can be activated or deactivated by means of control bit "SC_On."
When the sway control function is deactivated, the drives accelerate and decelerate at
constant rates according to the parameterized acceleration/deceleration values. The load
sway is ignored.
Internal activation of the sway control is indicated in status bit "SC_IsOn."
The following figure shows the travel response during operation with sway control.
Set velocity
Output velocity
Deflection
Figure 8-3 Sway control in "manual" operation mode
Once a set velocity has been specified the output velocity begins to increase in
accordance with the set acceleration rates. With this the momentary acceleration does not
remain constant as it does with operation without sway control but varies in accordance with
the requirements of the sway control. The sway control then works without any faults if the
deflection is around zero during movement with constant velocity after the acceleration is
completed. The same is valid after the deceleration is completed. The deflection occurring
during the acceleration phases is physically unavoidable.
Function description
8.3 Operation mode "positioning"
SC integrated OHBC, Gantry crane
Operating Instructions, 02/2014 165
8.3
Operation mode "positioning"
In the "positioning" operation mode, a specified target position can be approached
automatically with sway control for the trolley, gantry and slewing gear drives.
In a configuration with hoist, a target position can also be approached automatically for the
hoist.
Load sway is eliminated both when positioning velocity is reached and on completion of the
positioning operation.
Control bit "OM_POS" is set to activate the "positioning" operation mode. Positioning starts
when the "Travelling" control bit is activated.
The positioning operation can be interrupted at any time by setting the control bit "Stop"
(controlled stop). The relevant drive brakes to a standstill with sway control.
The positioning operation can also be interrupted by resetting the "Travelling" control bit.
This means that the drive stops along the quick stop ramp without sway control.
The permissible positioning range can be set using the "Minimum position" parameters (P7,
P47, P137) and the "Maximum position" parameters (P8, P48, P138). Positioning outside
this range is not possible.
8.4
Operation mode "sway neutralization load position"
The "sway neutralization load position" operation mode (only for the version with the
SIMOCRANE CenSOR camera measuring system) is used to eliminate load sway from
standstill.
The "sway neutralization load position" operation mode is the same as the "positioning"
operation mode except for the fact that the target position is specified internally and
corresponds to the position of the load at the moment the "Travelling" control bit is set when
the operation mode is activated.
Calculation of the load position:
Load position = actual position of the drive + pendulum deflection
Sway neutralization results in slight travel movements on both sides of the target position.
The signal sequence corresponds to that of positioning.
This operation mode exists for all sway-controlled drives.
Control bit "OM_SC_LO" is set to activate the "sway neutralization load position" operation
mode.

Load measurement
If tests are conducted with load, then the load measuring equipment must also function

here.
After the system has been fully commissioned, it is advisable to conduct test runs under load
in all operation modes used in practice.

You will need the measured values of the camera to complete the following commissioning
steps.
This is conditional upon successful commissioning of the SIMOCRANE CenSOR camera

in commissioning step 7 (Change communication addresses).
Note
Incorrect setting of the communication address in the SIMOTION D435

detected immediately, but
would have only an indirect effect, i.e. if the wrong hoist height
information is transmitted because the communication link is not functional in the send
direction.
2. Note that incrementation of the receive counter reading is an essential requirement
because this indicates that the SIMOTION D435-2 DP/PN is correctly receiving data from
the camera.
3. Check the "Status" display:
"Status OK" indicates that the reflector has been detected.
4. Open display screen 4 in the SIMOCRANE CeCOMM diagnostic program.

You cannot start this commissioning step until the residual sway is close

If the configuration includes slewing gear, the slewing gear must be in the zero position.
This commissioning step senses the main direction of oscillation and the sign of the
beginning deflection. The assignment of the trolley or gantry direction to the camera x or y
measured value and its sign are determined from this information.

Step 2: Determine parameters of effective pendulum length in the trolley direction
A camera must be used for this commissioning step.
The gain and offset (P22, P23) are determined for the purposes of determining the effective
pendulum length.
Depending on P108 either the value "S_Hoist" (Block general) or the value "Distance" (data
from the camera) are used for the calculation.
The calculation is based on two oscillation measurements at different heights.
Without a camera it is not possible to detect any deflection; this means that commissioning
steps 2 to 4 (determine parameters of eff. pendulum length...") are hidden. The parameters
must be manually determined by counting the number of oscillations during a specific time
interval. The SIMOCRANE CeCOMM diagnostic program ("Effective pendulum length" tab)
provides good support here.
When determining the parameters, it is recommended that you are online with the
SIMOTION D435-2 DP/PN. Otherwise, the hoist position values must be manually entered
and the results documented.
The individual steps in the table are self-explanatory, and are each confirmed with the
"Enter" key after execution. After all of these steps have been completed, the calculated
values can be transferred to the system with "F5 send values" and saved in the relevant
parameters. Note that the oscillations are counted from zero and that the count starts at an
inflection point (at maximum deflection).

Step 3: Determine parameters of effective pendulum length in the gantry direction
A camera must be used for this commissioning step. Otherwise it must be performed
manually (by counting oscillations) using the SIMOCRANCE CeCOMM diagnostic program
(tab "Effective pendulum length").
The gain and offset (P62, P63) are ascertained for the purposes of calculating the effective
pendulum length.
Depending on P108 either the value "S_Hoist" (Block general) or the value "Distance" (data
from the camera) are used for the calculation.
The calculation is based on two oscillation measurements at different heights.
Note
If the measurement for the gantry direction was not completed (P6
2=0; P63=0) then the
parameters of the trolley direction are used.
If the configuration includes slewing gear, the slewing gear must be in the zero position while
commissioning steps "2" and "3" are performed.

Step 4: Determine parameters of effective pendulum length for slewing gear
The SIMOCRANE CenSOR camera measuring system is required to complete this
commissioning step automatically.
Otherwise it must be performed manually (by counting oscillations) using the SIMOCRANCE
CeCOMM diagnostic program (tab "Effective pendulum length").
The gain and offset (P152, P153) are ascertained in calculating the effective pendulum
length.
Depending on P108 either the value "S_Hoist" (Block general) or the value "Distance" (data
from the camera) are used for the calculation.
The calculation is made with two skew measurements at different heights.
Depending on the load conditions, control bit "DigitalLiftCorrection" can be used to apply
other values for gain and offset. To do this, the commissioning step must be carried out once
again under the load conditions applicable when the control bit "DigitalLiftCorrection" is set.
The results for gain and offset are automatically entered into P152 and P153 once again, so
note the original values beforehand. These results must then be entered manually into
parameters P154 and P155 and the original values entered into P152 and P153.
9.4.2.7
Step 5: Simulating errors
All error bits of the sway control system can be simulated in this step in order to check the
error evaluation functions in the SIMATIC S7.
The relevant bits can be found in the error list (see Table 11-1 Error messages with error bit
(Page 215)).
Note
Simulated err
ors are not entered in the error history.
9.4.2.8
Step 6: Determining the velocity
The maximum output velocity can be checked with this step. It requires transmission of the
current actual distance values from the technology objects so that they can be converted into
millimeters in the AddOn sway control system if necessary.
The drives must be moved individually at maximum velocity in "manual" operation mode.
The maximum actual velocity produced at the maximum output velocity is determined from
the output velocity to the technology object and the change in the actual distance value over
time. The calculated velocity can be transferred into the parameters for the maximum output
velocity of the relevant drive (P1, P41 and P131).
The set velocity for the "positioning" operation mode can also be transferred to the
parameters for the relevant drive (P0, P40 and P130) and is 90% of the maximum output
velocity.

Preparation
Once you have completed all the commissioning steps, proceed as follows to activate the
sway control system:
Set the control bit "SC_On" in the crane control system.
We recommend that the first test runs be performed at medium hoist height and initially
without boosted camera measuring signal. The camera measuring signal cannot be boosted
again until these initial test runs are successfully concluded.
9.5.2
Test runs without boosted camera signal
To carry out test runs without boosted camera measuring signal, set parameters P21
(trolley), P61 (gantry) or P151 (slewing gear) to zero.
This will disable the camera measuring signal. The advantage of this approach is that you
can record a signal trace in the SIMOCRANE CeCOMM diagnostic program and use it to
compare the pendulum deflection measured by the camera with the pendulum deflection
of the mathematical oscillation model. You can also test the accuracy of the sway control
settings without camera feedback (effective pendulum length, velocities, ramps, etc.).
Start the first test run with a low set velocity "V_set" (e.g. with the first stage of the master
controller). If this is successful then further test runs may follow with greater set velocity
values.
When evaluating the trace recordings of the pendulum deflection measured by the
camera and the pendulum deflection computed by the mathematical oscillation model,
pay attention to the following points:
Identical phase relations and amplitudes
The amplitude can be adjusted if necessary using parameters P30 (trolley), P70
(gantry) or P160 (slewing gear). If the phases are in exact opposition, parameter P80
(assignment of camera measuring direction) should be checked.
Match between frequency of the pendulum deflection measured by the camera
frequency of the pendulum deflection computed by the mathematical model
Check whether the frequency of the pendulum deflection measured by the camera
matches the frequency of the pendulum deflection computed by the mathematical
oscillation model. If this is not the case, calculation of the effective pendulum length or
the correctness of the communicated hoist height must be verified because the
mathematical model calculates the frequency as follows:
(T = period duration of the oscillation; l = effective pendulum length)
Commissioning
9.5 Operation mode "manual" with sway control
SC integrated OHBC, Gantry crane
184 Operating Instructions, 02/2014
The effectiveness of the sway control system can be easily identified when the master
controller is released at constant velocity. Only slight residual sway motion must be
present at the end of travel. Note that the initial sway on starting must be close to zero.
CAUTION
Risk of injury and potential material damage due to unexpected movements of the crane
Unexpected jerking movements may occur during operation with sway control.
These can cause injury to unprotected persons. Damage might also be caused to
unprotected objects.
Protect yourself against unexpected movements (e.g. by wearing a safety harness or
standing in a secure position).
Secure freely movable objects to prevent them from slipping.
If the test runs at medium hoist height have been successful, repeat the runs at different
hoist heights to test the accuracy of the effective pendulum length measurement.
Make sure that tests are carried out at every height in the hoist range.
If the sway control system does not work correctly at certain hoist heights, you will need
to recheck the accuracy of the effective pendulum length calculation and/or the accuracy
of the transferred hoist height data. At all hoist heights, the frequency of the pendulum
deflection measured by the camera must approximately coincide with the frequency of
the pendulum deflection computed by the mathematical oscillation model.
The effective pendulum length is calculated from the hoist height using parameters:
Trolley: P22, P23
Gantry: P62, P63
Slewing gear: P152, P153
Test runs without boosted camera measuring signal can be regarded as successful if the
following conditions are fulfilled:
The phase relation, amplitude and frequency of the pendulum deflection measured by
the camera are identical to those of the pendulum deflection calculated by the
mathematical oscillation model.
The residual sway at the end of travel is only minor; this applies on condition that the
initial sway at the start of travel was also minor.
The first two criteria apply to all velocities and all hoist heights.

Operating Instructions, 02/2014 185
9.5.3
Test runs with boosted camera signal
If the test runs without boosted camera measuring signal have been concluded
successfully, you can now boost the camera measuring signal again.
To do this, set P21 (trolley), P61 (gantry) or P151 (slewing gear) to values other than zero
again.
Set the parameters for boosting the camera measuring signal P21 (trolley), P61 (gantry)
or P151 (slewing gear) to the lowest possible required setting.
The higher the settings of these parameters, the greater the influence of the camera
measuring signal on the pendulum deflection computed by the mathematical oscillation
model. However, disturbance variables will also have a greater effect and may impair the
overall control quality. The value must be determined experimentally during
commissioning, as it is largely depends on the controlled system as a whole. Settings
values of < 0.1 have proven successful in practice.
Start the first test run cautiously with a low set velocity "V_set" (e.g. with the first stage of
the master controller).
If this is successful, you can conduct further test runs at higher set velocities. With this
configuration, initial oscillations of the load caused by disturbing effects must be
eliminated.
Test runs with boosted camera measuring signal can be regarded as successful if the
following conditions are fulfilled:
The residual sway at the end of travel is only minor; this applies even if initial sway
occurred at the start of travel.
Disturbances during travel (e.g. caused by wind) must be corrected.
The first two criteria apply to all velocities and all hoist heights.
9.5.4
Testing in the prelimit switch range
In the prelimit switch range, the velocity must be reduced in good time, so that the axis can
safely stop if the limit switch is actuated. The function is described in Chapter Response in
the prelimit switch (Page 160).
Test the travel behavior in the prelimit switch range
Start with a small setpoint.
We recommend that you record a signal trace.
The status of the prelimit switches is displayed in screen 3 "Status of drives" (monitor
display in the SIMOCRANE CeCOMM diagnostic program).
Test the function of the prelimit switches at all hoist heights occurring in normal operation.
Testing with long pendulum lengths is especially important.

Correction of the effective pendulum length
9.6.2.1
Application
If the application involves the use of different load carrying devices and/or variable loads, the
center of gravity of the load and thus also the pendulum length can vary.
For this reason, digital and analog functions for correcting the effective pendulum length are
provided for the trolley and the gantry. Only a digital correction of the effective pendulum
length is available for the slewing gear.
The effective pendulum length for each drive is displayed in mm in screen 1 (kinematics).
9.6.2.2
Digital correction of the effective pendulum length for the trolley and the gantry
Precondition
If a new load carrying device, i.e. which is different to the usual one, is to be used and
corrected by the digital correction function, a suitable sensor (e.g. limit switch) must be
installed so that the crane control system can detect the new load carrying device. The
control bit "DigitalLiftCorrection" cannot be set correctly otherwise.
The effective pendulum length value under normal conditions (i.e. when the usual load
carrying device is used) at medium hoist height must be known.
If this value is not known, it must be calculated. This is done by performing the relevant
commissioning steps (see Step 2: Determine parameters of effective pendulum length in
the trolley direction (Page 180) or Step 3: Determine parameters of effective pendulum
length in the gantry direction (Page 180)).

Method of operation
If the control bit "DigitalLiftCorrection" is set for the trolley, the value of parameter P24
(digital correction effective pendulum length trolley) is added to the existing effective
pendulum length for the trolley.
If the control bit "DigitalLiftCorrection" is set for the gantry, the value of parameter P64
(digital correction of effective pendulum length, gantry) is added to the existing effective
pendulum length for the gantry.
Procedure
If you are using a new load carrying device which causes a shift in the center of gravity of the
load, you need to recalculate the effective pendulum length as described below:
1. Effective pendulum length at medium hoist height under normal conditions
The effective pendulum length value applicable to the usual load carrying device is
displayed on screen 1 (kinematics). Make a note of this value.
2. Calculate the oscillation period for the new load carrying device
To calculate oscillation period T, perform oscillation measurements with the load
carrying device positioned at a medium hoist height.
3. Calculate the correction value for the effective pendulum length
Calculate the effective pendulum length for the new load carrying device as follows:
Formula 1:
Formula 2:
The relationship between "T" and "I" (formula 1) known from the field of physics can
be resolved according to "I" (formula 2) and the effective pendulum length can thus be
determined from the results of the oscillation measurement.
Calculate the correction value from the difference between:
Effective pendulum length (new load carrying device and effective pendulum length
(usual load carrying device)
Enter the correction value in parameter P24 or P64 in the SIMOCRANE CeCOMM
diagnostic program.
4. Correction of the effective pendulum length in the crane control system
When you use the new load carrying device, you must set the bit "DigitalLiftCorrection"
in the crane control system to activate the calculated correction values.

Digital correction of the effective pendulum length for the slewing gear
Precondition
When the load condition which is to be corrected digitally is present on the crane, it must be
measured by a suitable sensor (e.g. limit switch) so that it can be detected by the crane
control system. The control bit "DigitalLiftCorrection" cannot be set correctly otherwise.
Method of operation
Once the bit "DigitalLiftCorrection" is set, the parameters P154 (pendulum length gain under
load conditions, slewing gear) and P155 (offset pendulum length under load conditions,
slewing gear) are used to calculate the effective pendulum length - otherwise the parameters
P152 (pendulum length gain, slewing gear) and P153 (offset pendulum length, slewing gear).
Procedure
See chapter about commissioning, Step 4: Determine parameters of effective pendulum
length for slewing gear (Page 181).
9.6.2.4
Analog correction of the effective pendulum length
Precondition
To allow use of the analog correction function for the effective pendulum length, a valid
load value must be supplied at the input "Load" (load weight) by the crane control system.
This value is interpreted as the total load by the AddOn sway control. The weight of the
load carrying device must be entered in parameter P82 (weight of the load carrying
device in kg).
The effective pendulum length value with the unloaded load carrying device at medium
hoist height must be known.
If this value is not known, it must be calculated. This is done by performing the relevant
commissioning steps (see Step 2: Determine parameters of effective pendulum length in
the trolley direction (Page 180) or Step 3: Determine parameters of effective pendulum
length in the gantry direction (Page 180)).
Method of operation
You can apply continuous correction of the effective pendulum length as a function of load.
The parameters P25 and P65 ("Analog correction of effective pendulum length") are
specified in the unit of measurement mm/kg and thus define in mm the increase in the
pendulum length per kg of weight. The correction value is calculated according to the
following formula:
Trolley: Analog correction = (Load-P82) · P25 if (Load-P82) > 0, otherwise 0
Gantry: Analog correction = (Load-P82) · P65 if (Load-P82) >0, otherwise 0

Additional information
If the crane control system
does not have any information about the load weight,
does not have any information about setting of bit "DigitalLiftCorrection",
but, depending on the load and / or the load carrying device in use, is detecting
differences between pendulum lengths combined with a deterioration of the control
quality of the sway control system,
it will be necessary to find a compromise.
One option is to vary the offset parameter used to calculate the effective pendulum
length (P23, P63, P153).
If the digital correction function and the analog correction function for the effective
pendulum length are both active, both correction values will be added to the original
effective pendulum length.
In cases where the load is relatively constant (e.g. coils or slabs), it may be more
meaningful to use the analog correction instead of the digital correction. If you are using
the digital correction function, you must set the bit "DigitalLiftCorrection" in the crane
control system after the correction value for the effective pendulum length has been
calculated.

Setting the permissible residual sway
The parameters for the residual sway can be separately set for each sway-controlled drive.
Trolley: P33, P34
Gantry: P73, P74
Slewing gear: P163, P164
The parameters "residual sway" and "residual pendulum velocity" should not be set lower
than the minimum required value. Excessively low values extend the stopping time
("Pos_completed" and "SC_completed") and under certain circumstances can lead to sway
after stopping as a result of dead times.

Trolley: P19
Gantry: P59
Slewing gear: P149
Hoist: P149
The parameters are a condition for setting the status bit "Pos_Completed" (see Chapter
Interface description (Page 107)).
Excessively high values cause the crane to stop quickly, but with a jerking motion.
Very low values allow the crane to stop very smoothly, but increase the time until it reaches
a standstill.
Settings values of between 1 % and 3 % have proven satisfactory in practice.
9.6.5
Setting the damping factor
A damping factor (P16, P17, P56, P57, P146, P147) can be set separately for the
acceleration and deceleration phase for each sway-controlled drive (this is only applicable
for the "manual" operation mode).
Values greater than 1.4 result in non-periodic transient responses, values less than 1.4 to
overshoot. Damping factors in the range from 1 to 1.2 are a compromise between short rise
time and slight overshoot. The difference between the damping factors for acceleration and
deceleration should not be too large, as the output velocity can otherwise change abruptly
during the transition to the deceleration phase.
Only P16, P56 and P146 are effective for the "positioning" operation mode.
9.6.6
Setting the switch-on delay of the drives
The output value delay of the controlled system (including frequency converter) can be set

Please proceed as follows:
With camera present:
Set the camera boosting to zero (depending on drive P21, P61, P151).
Start the trace in the SIMOCRANE CeCOMM diagnostic program, record pendulum
deflections from the mathematical oscillation model and from the camera.
Begin to move in "manual" operation mode with pendulum deflection close to zero.
Set the ON delay time in such a way that the start of the pendulum deflections from the
mathematical oscillation model and from the camera correspond as closely as possible.
Set the camera boosting back to the original value.

9.6.7
Defining the activation velocity of the sway control
Using parameters P20, P60 and P150, it is possible to define a minimum velocity as a % of
the maximum output velocity for each drive in order to activate the sway control system. The
minimum velocity refers to setpoint "V_set", and is only effective in the "manual" operation
mode.
The sway control is inactive as long as the velocity setpoint is not reached. It is activated if
the master controller is deflected to a higher value. The sway control remains active when
stopping.
This parameter is intended to allow the load to be precisely positioned over short distances,
without disturbing neutralizing motion by the sway control. Pendulum deflection is still slight
in the lowest travel stage. If the crane driver wants to activate sway control in the first stage,
he can briefly deflect the master controller to the next stage and then return to the first one.

Functions for optimizing travel behavior
The task of this function is to create a crane behavior with electronic sway control so that the
crane operator is supported by the sway control function and does not perceive it as
disturbing.
The following functions are available in manual operation mode:
Optimum damping factors (P16, P17, P56, P57, P146, P147):
The damping factors for the sway control are set so that there is no deceleration in the
acceleration phase and no acceleration in the deceleration phase.
Countering function:
When the set velocity and output velocity have opposite signs, the deceleration rate is
increased in accordance with the settings in parameters P18 (P48, P148).
No direction reversal (P89 Suppress opposite direction):
As long as the set velocity is less than the value set in P89, then any travel direction
reversal that may be required by the sway control will be suppressed. In practical terms,
this means, e.g.: As long as the crane operator only issues travel commands in the
forward direction, the drive only moves forward. If sway control is active, the drive will
perform a few short forward travel movements after stopping, to reduce oscillation.
Reduced ramps during fine positioning:
If the set and actual velocities equal less than 30 % of the maximum velocity, the
acceleration and braking ramps are reduced to the values from P94 and P95. This allows
the crane operator to finely position his crane. Sway motion is only excited to a low
degree.
Ramp alignment:
The acceleration/deceleration rates for operation without sway control are adjusted so
that the acceleration and braking times are similar to those in operation with sway control.
9.6.9
Pendulum length from SIMATIC S7 or camera
If the crane control system does not provide any information about the actual hoist position,
the distance between the camera and reflector as measured using the camera measuring
system can be used to determine the effective pendulum length. Parameter P108 is used to
make the selection.
Note
If the measured distance between the camera and reflector is used, when the camera fails,
sway
-controlled operation based on the mathematical oscillation model can only be used to
a limited extent, or not at all.
If the camera fails, the distance measured between the camera and the reflector, and as a
consequence, the effective pendulum length determined from this, are no longer updated.
This mean
s that using the distance measured between the reflector and camera only
represents a compromise solution.

Conversion of the actual position S_ACTUAL and the target position
S_TARGET
The values supplied by the crane control system for the actual position and the target
position are converted by the sway control with the parameters "Actual position factor" (P5,
P45, P135) and "Actual position offset" (P6, P46, P136)
Proceed as follows to calculate these parameters:
The following values must be recorded at two different positions:
x1:
Position 1 in mm
x2:
Position 2 in mm
s1:
S_ACTUAL (actual position) at position 1
s2:
S_ACTUAL (actual position) at position 2
You can calculate the parameters "Actual position factor" (P5, P45, P135) and "Actual
position offset" (P6, P46, P136) from these four values. The SIMOCRANE CeCOMM
diagnostic program (menu "Calculations / Position parameters") will assist you.
Enter "Factor" and "Offset" for the specific drive into the parameters stated above.
Note
Checking the actual position
The AddOn sway control system requires precise position values. It is not therefore sufficient
to determine the positions purely by calculation. The relevant location must be measured
directly during commissionin
g in order to verify that the displayed positions are correct.
Correct functioning of the position sensing and position monitoring systems must be verified
before the positioning operation mode can be commissioned.
We recommend the use of identical reference systems in the crane control and the sway
control systems. This ensures that the position values are the same in both systems and are
therefore easier to manage. The factor set is then 1 and the corresponding offset is 0 mm.

Position controller setting
1. Set the position controller parameters (P15, P55; P145) to zero.
The position control will then be deactivated and the actual position ignored. As a result,
the position will be determined from the calculated values only.
2. Start the positioning process over a sufficiently large distance.
Constant travel should take several seconds.
Make sure that the distance to the end positions is sufficiently large to allow prompt
termination of travel in the event of an error.
The setpoint and target positions must be virtually identical at the end. Slight
differences result through the deactivated position controller.
Higher deviations might be caused by a maximum output velocity error or limits in the
drive system.
For delimiting the error, the sway control system can be deactivated by resetting
control bit "SC_On" or by zeroing the damping factors P16, P56, P146 (operation
without sway control only).
3. Set the position controllers and damping factors to their default values
Set the position controllers in such a way as to obtain a slight overshoot.
This applies to the actual velocity and the actual position. Short rise times can be
achieved in this way.
The value of the position controller should not be greater than 0.5.
Reduce the value if the velocity curve exhibits oscillations and the actual position
overshoots at the target position.
Note
An overshoot at the target position is often the result of an incorrectly set maximum velocity
and not from an excessively high position controller (Kp factor). Consequently, be
fore
reducing the position controller, in controlled operation (position controller is zero or manual
operation), it should again be checked whether for travel at constant velocity, the actual
velocity is nearly equal to the output velocity.

The following parameters can be set manually:
Positioning accuracy (P9, P49, P139)
The positioning accuracy should not be set lower than the minimum required value.
If the deviation between the current and target positions is smaller than the positioning
accuracy setting, the status bit "Pos_completed" (see interface description) will be set in the
"positioning" operation mode. Positioning continues while the mode and the travel signal
remain set.
Following error (P28, P68, P158)
The permissible difference between the calculated and actual positions of the relevant drive
can be set with the parameters. An error message is triggered if this difference is exceeded
(E7, E8, E9).
Note
The difference between the set and actual positions can be traced using
the SIMOCRANE
CeCOMM diagnostic program. The less difference between the values, the better the
settings.
Upper limit for camera measurement (P83)
For pendulum lengths less than this value, only the mathematical oscillation model is
applied. The measured pendulum deflection is not taken into account.
Influences on the sway from other disturbance variables are not determined and therefore
also cannot be corrected. In this situation, sway-controlled operation should only take place
for a limited period, as the difference between the calculated value and the actual oscillation
becomes greater and greater over increased periods of time.
Note
The camera measurement may therefore need to be shut down in the case of small
pendulum lengths, i.e. if the distan
ce between the camera and the reflector is very small, as
for various reasons the sway angle measured may no longer be detected correctly in some
cases (e.g. if the reflector fills the camera's entire field of vision).

9.8
Testing the sway neutralization modes
This chapter provides information and instructions relating to the testing of the operation
modes "sway neutralization load position" and "sway neutralization drive position."
Precondition
The SIMOCRANE CenSOR camera measuring system must be used
The actual position (S_ACTUAL) for the relevant drive must be available
More detailed information about the function can be found in Chapters Operation mode
"sway neutralization load position" (Page 165) and Operation mode "sway neutralization
drive position" (Page 166).
Testing the "sway neutralization load position" operation mode
1. Cause the load to sway. Start the first tests with very small amounts of sway.
2. Set the control bit "OM_SC_LO" (see Interface description (Page 107)) in order to select
the "sway neutralization load position" operation mode.
3. Start the travel motion by setting the control bit "Travelling".
If the operation mode is functioning correctly, neutralizing motions will occur in both
directions until the sway is eliminated and the drive stops at its target position. The target
position corresponds to the position of the load at the moment the control bit "Travelling"
was set. The load position equals the total of S_ACTUAL + pendulum deflection.
Note
If the sway motion is not properly corrected, then you must check the previous
commissioning steps to identify the error.
Note
We recommend that you use the SIMOCRANE CeCOMM diagnostic program to record
signal traces so
that you can assess the test results more accurately.
4. When the status bit "Pos_completed" is set, then reset the "Travelling" control bit.
5. If the results of the first tests are successful, repeat the same tests with larger initial sway
motions.

Testing the "sway neutralization drive position" operation mode
1. Cause the load to sway. Start the first tests with very small amounts of sway.
2. Set the control bit "OM_SC_DR" (see Operation mode "sway neutralization load position"
(Page 165)) in order to select the "sway neutralization drive position" operation mode.
3. Start the travel motion by setting the control bit "Travelling".
If the operation mode is functioning correctly, neutralizing motions will occur in both
directions until the sway is eliminated and the drive stops at its target position. The target
position corresponds to the actual position of the drive "S_ACTUAL" at the moment the
"Travelling" control bit was set.

SC integrated OHBC, Gantry crane
Operating Instructions, 02/2014 199
Troubleshooting
If the sway motion is not properly eliminated despite correct control settings, you must check
the previous commissioning steps to identify the error.
We recommend the following procedure:
1.
Check whether the sway control system works properly in manual operation mode
without a camera.
If it does not, the following possible causes should be investigated:
□ Incorrect calculation of pendulum length,
□ Errors in basic data such as maximum output velocity or acceleration/deceleration
rates.
Recommendation: Repeat the entire commissioning process.
2.
Check whether the sway control system works properly in manual operation mode with a
camera.
If it does not, the following possible causes should be investigated:
□ Problem with the camera.
Recommendation: Perform a function test on the camera.
3.
Check whether the sway control system works properly in the positioning operation
mode.
If it does not, the following possible causes should be investigated:
□Actual position is incorrect.
Recommendation: Recheck all the settings required for the "positioning" operation
mode

Stability test and monitoring functions
9.9.1
Stability test
With maximum, medium and minimum pendulum lengths, set the load into a heavy sway
motion in "manual" operation mode without sway control, switch to sway-controlled manual
operation and start at the moment of maximum pendulum deflection. The trolley (gantry,
slewing gear) must catch the oscillation and steady the load by moving back and forth until it
comes to a standstill.
If the sway is already too severe at the start or if the monitoring function (see Chapter
Monitoring functions (Page 201)) finds that the sway cannot be eliminated by closed-loop
control or even increases, the sway control system will output the error message E13, E14,
or E15 (sway control temporarily reduced). No output velocity is then output. The user can
reset the error again by resetting control bit "Travelling."
Possible causes for inability to eliminate sway by closed-loop control:
A maximum acceleration that is set too low
After the output velocity has been output, it must no longer be influenced by the sway
control system (for instance by limiting the maximum value or the acceleration in the
converter or by excessive smoothing in the converter).
Incorrect calculation of the effective pendulum length
Possible causes of increasing sway:
Incorrect alignment of the camera
Incorrect setting of P80 (assignment of camera measuring system)
In this case, commissioning step 1 (Set the alignment of the camera) must be repeated.
Following successful completion these tests should be repeated in "positioning" operation
mode.
CAUTION
Risk of injury and potential material damage due to unexpected movements of the crane
Unexpected jerking movements may occur during operation with sway control.
These can cause injury to unprotected persons. Damage might also be caused to
unprotected objects.
Protect yourself against unexpected movements (e.g. by wearing a safety harness or
standing in a secure position).
Secure freely movable objects to prevent them from slipping.

SC integrated OHBC, Gantry crane
Operating Instructions, 02/2014 201
9.9.2
Monitoring functions
When the drives are traversing with sway control, a monitoring function is run in all operation
modes that checks whether the sway control is able to eliminate the sway or if the sway is
increasing.
It is assumed that the sway cannot be eliminated if the output velocity has changed direction
(passed through zero) nine times since control bit "Travelling" was last set. If this is the case,
no output velocity is output and error messages E13, E14, or E15 are set.
It is assumed that the sway is increasing if the amplitudes of the oscillation of the
mathematical oscillation model increased in five consecutive oscillation periods. If this is the
case, no output velocity is output and error messages E13, E14, or E15 are set.

11.1
General
The sway control system issues error messages and warnings to help you diagnose errors.
Each error message is transmitted to the crane control system in status word
"ERROR_BITS" (see Chapter Output data, general (Page 130)).
A bit number is assigned to each error message as shown in the table below.
Warnings are not assigned a bit number and are not transmitted to the crane control system.
They are only displayed in the SIMOCRANE CeCOMM diagnostic program.
The current errors are displayed by pressing the "E" key from the main menu or the display
screens. The error history can be called using the "H" key.
Each error has a number, a name, a description and a remedial guide. All errors are self-
acknowledging and will be transmitted only while the error condition is present.

Selection "1" is only significant for the gantry when selection "0" = ON.
Selection "2" is only significant for the trolley when selection "0" = ON.
Where selection "0" = OFF then selection "1" only applies to the trolley and selection "2"
only applies to the gantry.
The measuring range of the camera in the y
-direction is smaller than the measuring range of
the camera in the x
-direction. As a result the camera must be mounted in such a way that
the x
-direction corresponds with the direction of motion of the drive where the larger
deflection occurs in operation.
This is generally the trolley.

AddOn
An
AddOn
is an optional module which can be installed in order to expand the existing
hardware or software. The existing libraries of the relevant application are used for this
purpose and also expanded by new functions. To use a simple analogy, an AddOn is
installed "backpack style" on top of the main application and can be uninstalled at any time
without impairing the proper functioning of the main application.
AddOn sway control system
The product name of the AddOn sway control system is SIMOCRANE SC integrated OHBC,
Gantry crane. It refers to the entirety of all the software components that are needed to
operate the sway control system.
The main application for this AddOn is the product SIMOCRANE Basic Technology (user
project).
Crane control system (PLC)
In this document, the crane control system refers to the higher-level controller (PLC). A
SIMATIC S7 is a typical example of a PLC for this application. The crane control system
does not include the SIMOTION D with SIMOCRANE Basic Technology.
Data is exchanged between the AddOn sway control system and the crane control system
via PROFIBUS, but can also be exchanged via PROFINET.
Dead-man's switch
A dead-man's device (or dead man, dead-man's warner, dead-man's switch, dead-man's
pedal or dead-man's handle) checks whether a person is present and is able to take action,
and triggers a signal or switching action when this is not the case.
Effective pendulum length
The effective pendulum length is the pendulum length that corresponds to that of a physical
pendulum.
The oscillation period for this is T = 2 · π · √l : g.
This effective pendulum length is obtained by means of oscillation tests and differs from the
pendulum length obtained by measuring with a tape measure, as the pendulum resulting
from the real design of the crane does not meet the conditions of a physical pendulum.
The effective pendulum length is one of the fundamental input variables for the control
algorithm for the sway control.

FB library
An FB library consists of individual ST source files.
Gantry
Gantry refers to the gantry gear.
Gantry crane
Gantry crane refers to a portal crane.
Hoist
The hoist refers to the crane's hoist mechanism.
MCC charts
MCC charts are flow charts which represent the logical execution sequence in visual form.
They must be integrated into the execution levels of the execution system. They are stored
under the MCC source file in the project navigator.
The individual elements of these flow charts are called "modules".
MCC source files
MCC source files contain a collection of MCC charts. MCC source files are stored in the
SIMOTION SCOUT project navigator under the SIMOTION device in the "Programs" folder.
Modules
Modules are used to structure MCC charts. Modules comprise a number of interrelated
commands that are joined to make one single command.
One module command can contain all types of command (e.g. system functions, program
branches, subroutine calls, variable assignments, etc.)
You can also nest modules and copy them for multiple use in different charts.

Sample project
SIMOTION SCOUT project which is supplied as standard with the AddOn sway control
system. This sample project includes all the required AddOn sway control system
components. These components can be copied into the user project.
SIMOCRANE CeCOMM
Diagnostic program for the AddOn sway control system for:
Commissioning,
Monitoring and changing parameters,
Displaying input and output variables,
Creating trace records.
SIMOCRANE CenSOR
Camera measuring system for capturing
the pendulum deflection in two directions of motion (gantry and trolley),
the rotation,
the distance between the camera and reflector.
SIMOTION SCOUT
The SCOUT engineering system is a holistic environment for SIMOTION automation
applications and is integrated into the SIMATIC environment in accordance with TIA. SCOUT
is the common frame for all tools of the engineering system. This workbench is thus the
navigation center for the individual engineering steps. It is used to create and manage
SIMOTION projects and provides a uniform view of all data and programs. It also provides
access to all commissioning and test functions.
ST source files
An ST source file is a collection of several functions or function blocks that are executed in
the Structured Text programming language.
Technology objects (TO)
The SIMOTION runtime system is implemented in an object-oriented rather than a function-
oriented manner, i.e. independent technology objects (TO) are used.
Technology objects have a high degree of functionality integrated into them. For example, a
"TO axis" contains the capability for communication with the drive, as well as measured
value processing, position control, and positioning functions.
Technology objects offer the user a technological view of actuators and sensors and provide
technological functions for these, for example, the technology object "Axis for drive and
encoder".
