ATV + AntiSway
Effortless and stable load control.
GH SOLUTION: ATV+AntiSway
- Reduction of load swaying, through a simple solution: software integrated in the crane variable speed drives.
- Reduces swaying due to acceleration and braking.
- Effective for the movement of the trolley and the bridge.
- Easy to set up and use. No subsequent adjustments required.
- Easy retrofitting to existing cranes by loading the firmware onto the variable speed drives.
ADVANTAGES
/ Greater speed + Greater precision = Increased Productivity and Safety.
Without complicating things for the operator: the system reduces the swaying automatically.
HOW IT WORKS
- Inputs
- / Operator’s commands for bridge and/or trolley movement (accelerate/decelerate).
- / Trolley and crane speeds.
- Algorithm integrated in the firmware of the variable speed drives that control the trolley and bridge motors. The algorithm determines the optimal acceleration and deceleration ramps to reduce swaying.
- Each drive controls the movements independently.
- Return to point 1.
Technical details
The anti-sway software is included in the firmware of the Schneider ATV 320 variable speed drives. After initial configuration, it performs acceleration/deceleration ramps autonomously – Requires no additional sensors or PLCs – Minimal maintenance – Open-loop control: it will not detect or correct swaying due to external causes – Automatically disconnects at slow speed to facilitate load positioning – Allows reconfiguration, disconnection and reconnection by physically accessing the drives.
