Sway Control System – Series 2 (SCS-S2)

Leading the Way in Innovative Product Development

SCS – S2 – What is it?

Load Sway Control – What is it?

• Custom software embedded in Impulse Series 3 drives designed to integrate seamlessly with existing features and special functions.

• Provides an affordable solution to any overhead crane that has a need for:

• Improved Productivity

• Enhanced Safety

• Reduction in Damaged Material

• No “Black Boxes” required

SCS-S2

Features & Benefits• Easy to Install and Configure – No need to have an Engineer on site to “tune” the system• Very few components required• Works with Multiple Hoists on the same Bridge• Does not require an absolute encoder or feedback device for hook height for the system to work• Programmable / selectable operating heights• Integrates seamlessly with Impulse VG+ Hoist drive for optional continuous Height Measurement and added flexibility• Allows for Offsets and changes in center of gravity by various sling lengths, below the hook attachments and loads• Allows for synchronized center of gravity when the crane is used in a tandem lift.• Integrates seamlessly with special functions such as Micro Speed, Reverse Plug Simulation and End of Travel Limits

SCS-S2 Notes

System Limitations• Consult Factory for lifts greater than 100’

• Available for Impulse G+ Series 3 ONLY

• Consult factory for VG+ application review• System must be at rest prior to Enabling / Disabling SCS-S2. (It will remain in previous state if switched during motion)

• Spare parts

• Spare drive or control board have separate part #’s for tracking purposes

• Because these parts include SCS-S2 technology, they are priced accordingly.

SCS-S2 Competition

• Competitive Comparisons– Kone purchased IP from

Innocrane– Requires “Monkey on a String”– Requires external Hardware

such as a PLC or “Black Box”– Price – Very Expensive to repair

or get parts– Support is limited
