Via an integrated Profibus-DP interface, the components can be networked directly with a crane control and other systems. Important data can also be recorded with a data logger. These functions make the switching amplifier “particularly suitable,” it said, as an overload protection for bridge and harbour cranes.

Today, it added, these types of crane are almost always equipped with a programmable logic control with Profibus-DP interface. Via this bus, the switching amplifiers can exchange data such as load values, angles, critical states or error codes with the control.

With a click of the mouse, the user can determine which data is recorded, the time intervals at which this takes place, and when the data logger is started and stopped again

The data logger can be configured using a PC and enables the data to be documented in Excel-compatible format.
