Hoisting System Requirements

Overview

This section describes the hardware and software requirements and user interface compatibility for Hoisting Library functions.

The Hoisting Library contains the following function blocks:

oAdvancedPositioning

oAdvancedPositionSync

oAlarmDataStorage_2

oAntiCrab_2

oAntiSwayOpenLoop_2

oCableLength_2Pos

oCableLength_3Pos

oCableLength_Enc_2

oDiagnosticCoverage

oDoubleLimitSwitch_AR_2

oElectronicPotentiometer

oGrabControl

oHoistDutyRating

oHoistPositionSync_2

oLimitSwitch

oLimitSwitch_AR

oLoadOverspeedCtrl_2

oMaintenanceDataStorage_2

oOperatingAreaRestrictionIC

oOverload_EN15011

oOverloadCtrlDist

oOverloadCtrlEnc

oOverloadCtrlTrq

oPasswordDataStorage

oScaleInput

oSmoothSlewingSpd

oSmoothSlewingTrq

oSpeedOptRopeSlack

oSpeedSelect

oStatisticDataStorage_2

oWindSpeedCtrl

The Hoisting Library requires at least the Standard License of EcoStruxure Machine Expert.

System Requirements

The targeted controllers for Hoisting applications are:

oModicon M241 Logic Controller

oModicon M251 Logic Controller

oModicon M258 Logic Controller

oModicon M262 Logic/Motion Controller

oModicon LMC058 Motion Controller

NOTE: Modicon LMC058 Motion Controller can be used with 2 CANopen fieldbusses. In this case, the CANmotion bus is configured as a CANopen fieldbus.

Using the Library

UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION

oVerify the EcoStruxure Machine Expert libraries contained in your program are the correct version after updating EcoStruxure Machine Expert software.

oVerify that the library versions updated are consistent with your application specifications.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

For more detailed information, see Schneider Electric Libraries.

For IEC 61131-3 compatibility, the ability to add the EN/ENO input/output automatically to Function Blocks of certain programming languages is available to the programmer. However, for certain applications that require the complex interaction of multiple function blocks, the use of the IEC 61131-3 input to disable a function block in a series of interrelated functions affecting a process may lead to unintended operation of the system as a whole. For the functions contained in the Library that is the topic of the current document, this is especially true.

The EN/ENO inputs and outputs as defined by IEC 61131-3 are maladapted to, and therefore inappropriate for, the targeted application of these functions. Suddenly disabling one function by a falling edge on the EN input would require all outputs of the function block to immediately fall to their default states, and such an unanticipated action would cause in abrupt change to the entire process. The implication is that such an event would have deleterious results that may invoke undesirable consequences. Therefore, the EN/ENO inputs/outputs as defined by IEC 61131-3 are incompatible with the functions contained within this library.

UNINTENDED MACHINE OPERATION

Do not use the EN/ENO functionality defined by IEC 61131-3 to control the behavior of the Application Function blocks.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

NOTE: Verify that the EN/ENO option is disabled in the compiler options menu of SoMachine.
