Electrical equipment is composed of power supply system, main and auxiliary lifting mechanisms, main and auxiliary trolley traveling mechanisms, crane traveling mechanisms, electrical transmission and control system, gantry crane operating system and lighting power supply system.

The electrical system can realize the operation and control of the gantry crane and the exchange of flashlight; It can monitor the operation status of the gantry crane and make judgment or alarm; It can realize the collection, display and processing of data and operation signals of various mechanisms.

Power supply: AC three-phase, four wire 415V, 50Hz.

Power supply mode: four core flexible trailing cable for power supply. Set at downstream side.


Protection function: it is equipped with short-circuit protection, over-current protection, interlocking protection, voltage loss protection, phase loss protection, zero protection, overload and under-load protection, limit protection and other functions, and has audible and visual alarm function

The lifting and traveling electric control cabinets of the main and auxiliary trolleys are placed in their respective trolleys, and no additional electrical room is set.

The long traveling electric control cabinet and the main power cabinet are set on the lower beam at the downstream side of the gantry.


Travel switch setting: limit travel switches are respectively set on the long traveling bogie and trolley frame, and collision frames matching with the travel limit switches are set at both ends of the crane and trolley tracks. When the travel limit switch contacts the collision frame, it will automatically cut off the power and stop the machine.


Control and Configuration

The power incoming line of the gantry crane is 400V four phase AC power supply, which is led from the power supply box of the power station through the cable drum connector of the gantry crane to the main power control panel (A1) in the electrical room of the gantry crane.

The core of the control system of the gantry crane is the programmable controller PLC, which adopts Siemens S7-300 series PLC, with host and remote I / O. The main hoist, crane and trolley are controlled by PLC frequency converter.


The man-machine interface in the cab adopts LCD touch screen plus a small amount of signal lights and instruments. PLC host communicates with remote I / O and LCD through fieldbus.

Before the operation of the gantry crane, all power supply switches, main power supply contactors and control power switches shall be closed. Adjust each limit switch and travel switch in place, and adjust the zero position of the lifting height sensor and the zero position of the load limiting instrument. The program of PLC is correct and the picture of LCD is complete, which meets the requirements of operation and display.


Power Operation

Manually close the power supply circuit breaker, electrical circuit breaker or switch of each mechanism and control circuit switch. The connection or disconnection of the main contactor shall be operated on the operation console in the cab. If the phase sequence of the power supply changes, phase loss or phase failure, and the corresponding control relay acts, the main contactor cannot be connected.

Before the operation of each mechanism of variable frequency speed regulation control, the position of each mechanism shall be confirmed to ensure that there are no potential safety hazards, and then the operating lever on the linkage console can be operated. When the frequency converter fails, the "frequency conversion fault light" is on, and the "frequency converter reset" button can be pressed to remove the frequency converter fault. If the fault occurs again, professional personnel are required to check the cause and eliminate the fault before operation again.


Long Traveling Operation

Launch the long traveling signal display screen on LCD.

Operate the crane mechanism master controller on the linkage console in the cab. Turn left, the crane mechanism moves left, turn right, and the crane mechanism moves right. Before operation, loosen the crane rail clamp first and operate it when the rail clamp indicator is off. When the crane is operated, the audible and visual alarm for crane traveling sounds.

When the crane is operated, other mechanisms cannot be operated.


Trolley Hoisting Operation

Launch the cross traveling signal display screen on LCD.

Operate the master controller of the trolley mechanism on the linkage console in the cab. Move forward, the trolley mechanism moves forward, move backward, and the trolley mechanism moves backward. Before operation, loosen the trolley rail clamp first and operate it when the indicator light of the rail clamp is off.

When the trolley travels, other mechanisms can not be operated.


Lifting Operation

When action is required, the main lifting lever is turned to the corresponding first step, the frequency converter outputs torque (to prevent hook slipping), then the PLC makes the brake energized and released, the lifting mechanism is started, and then turn to step 2 ~ 4 in turn, and the motor accelerates to the corresponding rated speed.

In the process of running at the rated speed, if it is necessary to reduce the running speed, the operating lever can slow down from high gear to low gear.

When shutdown is required, turn the operating lever back to "0" position, and PLC will stop the lifting mechanism.

Limit automatic shutdown is that PLC receives the opening and closing height signal transmitted by the sensor in real time. When it reaches the setting value (on-site setting during commissioning), the lifting mechanism will stop automatically.

Protection shutdown refers to the automatic shutdown of the lifting mechanism after PLC receives the protection action signal.


Interlock and protection

Interlock

During the main lifting operation, PLC interlock makes the crane, automatic beam grabbing, trolley and other operations invalid

Protection

When the main hook rises, the overload protection is set at 110% of the rated load.

During the operation of the main hoist, if the variable frequency speed regulating device of the main hoist fails, the upper and lower limit protection, motor over-current protection, motor over-speed protection and main circuit short circuit protection act, the PLC acts on the shutdown and drives the fault signal lamp on the LCD to light up. (disappears after the fault is removed).
