Assistance Mode Displayed

When starting crane Assistance Mode was displayed on processor.   Found 1 of the angle sensors on cathead was backed off 1/2″.  Readjusted, all is working well.

Tomas says crane needs to see hook height, trolley position and jib angle.  Can see on Erection Aid and J3 inputs (3211)

Crane will go into Assistance Mode if 1 of 4 sensors are not reading correctly.  1) Jib Angle – To check, go into Erection Aid (Menu 6), page 1

2) Trolley position – Menu 3211 and Input/Output J3 (not J2/J3)

3) Hook position – Same as above

4) Load on hook – Menu 3211 Input/Output J4 B400Nx

Weathervane on releasing on Hup (Slew Brake not engaging)

Need to raise handle on brake and slide cam plate (lock plate) into position.  Lift up on brake handle, and the plate should return to the “unlocked” position automatically.

Video showing proper operation

If not, remove weathervane coil plate with the 2 bolts, but be careful as the return spring is underneath it.  Remove the 4 screws holding the lock plate in place and clean bottom of lock plate and surface below it on the brake coil.  When reinstalling, make sure that the nut on the weathervane coil is not too tight, as it can interfere with free movement.

Adjusting Moment Limit Switch on HDT 80

On the rear of the mount for the dynametric ring located at the rear of the crane, is an adjustment bolt.  On the side of the mount, there is an access plate to reach the bolt head.  Remove plate, and adjust screw.  Clockwise will allow load to mover further out on the jib, Counter-Clockwise will cutout movement sooner.

Hoist Motor Not Working in Very Cold Temperatures

TA20-236-A – Operating mode for TUN function ATV320 on HUP cranes_EN (2)

 

Suggestion per France

Here is a procedure for making a motor tune on the ATV320 hoisting motor drive.

In green : menu and parameters of the drive HMI.

For this operation, the crane must be in « work » configuration.

Unlock the hoisting drive :

Mod (Non) / Cod- / Cod / enter : 2024

(press esc, esc, esc to go back to the main menu)

Change command channel from CANopen to terminal (needed for manual tune ) :

Conf / Full / Ctl- / Fr1 / change Can for AI1 (looks like A11) Must Scroll to the left 

Make the motor tune :

Conf / full / Drc- / ASY- / Tune change No for YES then press enter for 5 seconds to launch the tune.

Check that the tune is done

Conf / full / Drc- / ASY- / TUS this parameter displays Done if the tune is well done.

If possible note the new value of RSA parameter  (unable to do)

Conf / full / Drc- / ASY- / rSA read and note the value.

Re-change the command channel from terminal to CANopen

Conf / Full / Ctl- / Fr1 / change AI1 for Can
