Anti-collision System - Gantry Commander Plus
With Acoustic Intelligence for Continuous Monitoring of Gantry Motion in Port Crane Operations
For many busy ports around the world, the challenge is to ensure that cargo move smoothly and safely regardless of weather conditions. Port efficiency demands exceptional performance from a reliable gantry motion monitoring system. iSOLV Gantry Commander Plus meets or exceeds the requirements.
iSOLV Gantry Commander Plus continuously calculates the steadily declining distance between two opposing cranes down an aisle of containers. It signals to the crane’s controller circuitry, and alerts the moving crane to halve its speed and to eventually come to a complete stop.
Measuring Principle
The iSOLV Gantry Commander Plus system emits a pulse, which is reflected from the target crane being monitored. The echo is processed using the speed of sound through air, hence determining the distance from the transducer to the target crane. The measured distance is compared to the programmed set points to determine the relays to be switched. Gantry Commander Plus also provide individual analog output for continuous monitoring of crane movement.
The iSOLV Gantry Commander Plus employs specially designed gain curve control and variable pulse rate which shortens response time as the cranes move closer to each other, thus enhancing the reliability and speed of the system.
It uses two separate frequencies to cover both the forward and rearward motion. This eliminates cross talk problems and the need for special signal filtering techniques associated with other systems.
- Gantry Control
- Selectable “JUMPER” can be set either to activate transducer facing crane gantry movement, or to continuously activate both transducers regardless of the crane movement.
- Selectable “JUMPER” can be set either with external or internal power.
- Relay Output Configuration
Selectable “JUMPER” can be set to offer a variety of control options. It can be configured to operate in series with 4 relays or in parallel with 8 relays.
- Analog Output (4-20mA)
mA output available for continuous monitoring of crane movement.
- Chassis Earthing
Selectable “JUMPER” can be set either to be grounded or isolated.
- Program Setting
It comes pre-programmed, using data from field tested and operational cranes at existing port facilities.
- Power Supply
Universal power supply 85 – 264VAC 50/60Hz
