Lifting applications

Perform the following additional steps before starting up the lifting applications:

  1. WARNING! Danger from falling hoist. Severe or fatal injuries. Observe the following information.
    • Do not use the device alone as a safety device for the lifting application.
    • Use additional monitoring systems or mechanical protection devices as a safety device.
  2. WARNING! Danger from falling hoist. Severe or fatal injuries. Do not use the "Release brake/deactivateDynaStop® with FCB01" function in lifting devices or applications with loads that may potentially fall down. Disable the function as follows:
    • Disable the function using the parameter Release brake/deactivate DynaStop® with FCB01 – Enable = "0" (Path: Functions > Drive functions > FCB01 Output stage inhibit).
  3. INFORMATION The use of a drive in a lifting application is not permitted in conjunction with the ELSM® control mode.
  4. In the MOVISUITE® engineering software, configure the parameters according to the lifting application requirements and its safety assessment.
    • In the case of drives with a brake, set the parameter Apply brake in STO state (8501.3) = "1" (Yes), path: Functions > Drive functions > FCB01 output stage inhibit, see chapter "Mechanical brake in conjunction with STO".
  5. Check the setting of the Hoist preload parameter in the MOVISUITE® engineering software, path: Drive train > Controller > Motor behavior. Set the parameter in accordance with the lifting application requirements. More information about the possible settings "Off", "Save" and "Initialization value" can be found in the online help of the parameter.

INFORMATION

Lifting application without encoder
Design the control in such a way that a direction of rotation reversal is only possible in an idle state (with the brake applied).
If the direction of rotation is to be changed without being in an idle state, use a drive with an encoder.
  • It is not advisable to use the U/f operating mode in a hoist.
