T99 Hoist Encoder

Was setting up T99 It was erected ready to teach.  Have to put in your technician code to teach the crane on your remote.  Was teaching the Trolley and exempted it.  Went to the Hoist to teach its upper limit and would NOT exempt it.  It would not exempt 0 load as well.

 

T99 Jib configuration

When Selecting a jib configuration you need to make sure your remote is in meters and not feet.  You will have to change this every time you choose a jib length for setup or if you go past your min radius for taking off the cab.  IF you leave it in feet it will not let you pick a jib length it will just give you dashes. Switch it to meters and then you will be able to select a jib length.then you can switch back to feet, and your back in business.

T99 Trolley moving slow

On the T99 there is a proximity switch for the inner trolley that stops the trolley at the min radius. You have to Push your 2part4 part button to trolley in all the way for example to get the cab off you have to trolley in past your proximity switch. Once you trolley in past the min radius it will throw up 2 yellow arrows on your display of the remote (sorry the Picture I have Has a yellow and red arrow but it will be two yellow unless your up to a limit.) And the trolley will only move in slow speed in normal work mode. To get Back to normal speed you have to go back and select jib length. Because once you go past your min radius it will lose jib length 

 

T99 mast Ladder

According to Cayla-So there’s certain spots to put the small ladder on the outrigger leg for the operator to access the mast ladder if was installed. So that guy is reading the angle of the crane and saying it’s in a place where the operator can climb up.

When rapidly lowering hoist block, hoisting stops – HDT 80

With the addition of the hoist drive on the HDT 80, during rapid lowering, drive may fault and need reset.  Drive displays Ou (Ov- overvoltage)  Changed parameter C1-02 (deceleration time 1) from.8 seconds to 1.2 seconds.

This is an overvoltage of the dc bus because with a decending load the hoist motor may act as a generator and overcharge the dc bus.  The braking resistor may be undersized and the dc bus cannot discharge fast enough.  This parameter change allows for a slower deceleration to discharge.

Crane shuts down during operation

Crane is shutting down during operation, however no fault is displayed and the operation symbol on the LMI bottom right goes from a red circle to flashing green almost immediately.  After searching for the fault history (no active faults), found a list of Can Bus faults.

2032.33057 CAN bus CMD: CAN error bus off

2032.33058 CAN bus CMD: CAN alarm bus error

2032.33040 CAN bus CMD: CAN saturation

2032.33058 CAN bus CMD: CAN alarm bus error

2032.33057 CAN bus CMD: CAN error bus off

2032.33040 CAN bus CMD: CAN saturation

Located on the Can Bus CMD (Command) ‘channel’ is the crane’s modem.  Disconnect the top 3 and the bottom large connector.  Crane will restart and work
