General To activate the diagnostic display screens, depress the limit by-pass switch and
scroll up. Once this step is performed, you can scroll up and down through the
diagnostic screens in addition to the normal operating screens. To deactivate the
diagnostic screens, depress the limit by-pass switch and scroll down. The normal
operating screens will remain active.
The diagnostic display provides information about the status of all main crane
components as well as the controller inputs and outputs during operation. There
are a total of ten diagnostic screens:
• Nine with information about a particular crane function (DRUMS 1 through
8, AUX SWING (RINGER), CRANE SWING, and TRACK). See Table 4
for drum identification.
• Four which display digital outputs (D1) from the controller, digital inputs
(D2) to the controller, control handle inputs (A1) to the controller, and
programmer’s screen (A2).

A1 (Handles) The variable control handle output voltage is represented in the controller by a
number between 0 (0 Volts) and 255 (10 Volts). The diagnostic screen A1
displays this number for each of the control handles/pedals. The normal
operating outputs of the handles range from:
• approximately 38 (1.5 Volts) to 120 (4.7 Volts) for lower/reverse/right**
• approximately 136 (5.3 Volts) to 215 (8.5 Volts) for raise/forward/left.**
A switch opens when the handle is in the neutral range (4.7 – 5.3 volts). In the
neutral range, the screen reads 0 (0 volts).

DIAGNOSTIC DISPLAY

D1 and D2 (Digital The status of the digital outputs from the controller and the inputs to the
Outputs and Inputs) controller is displayed in several banks in screens D1 and D2. Each bank can
indicate the state of up to eight individual digital inputs or outputs.

1 2 3 4 5

6 7 8 DX

1 – 8: Bank number
X: Corresponding digital screen number (1 or 2) appears.

Each individual input/output is assigned a number (identifier) in the binary

system (powers of two). The identifiers of all inputs/outputs that are ON
(active), are added to a total in each bank. Thus, the number displayed for each
bank is the sum of all identifiers of the inputs/outputs that are ON (0 – 255).
With this system, each possible ON/OFF combination per bank has a unique
total.
For identification of the digital outputs and inputs (and the crane components
connected to them) refer to Table 1 and Table 2 in this folio.
To determine the state of the individual inputs/outputs in a bank, find the
number displayed for the bank in the first column in Table 3. In the
corresponding row the identifier numbers that are ON (active) in the bank are
shaded black. Use Tables 1 and 2 to identify the crane components associated
with the identifiers for the corresponding bank.
Example 1: If the number displayed in Bank 3 of screen D2 of the digital
display is 41, go to row number 41 in Table 3. The boxes for identifiers 1, 8 and
32 are shaded black in this row, indicating that the corresponding inputs are
active. Find the component description for the identifiers in Table 2, Bank 3. In
this example, the inputs for Luffing Jib Brake (Drum 5) (identifier 1), Divert
Left Track Pump (Pump 5) (identifier 8) and Boom Hoist Two SpeedValve
(identifier 32) are active.
Example 2: You want to know if the controller output for the rear drum clutch
is ON. In Table 1 you will find Right Rear Drum Clutch in Bank 1 (identifier
64). Look up the current number for Bank 1 in screen D1 on the digital display
(for example 152). Then go to the corresponding row number (152) in Table 3.
Identifier 64 box is not shaded black in this row, indicating that the controller
output to the rear drum clutch is OFF.
NOTE: All numbers in screen D1, and the pump/motor command values in
screens DRUM, SWING and TRACK represent controller commands
to the corresponding output devices only. The state of a certain output
port on the controller may not necessarily correspond to the actual
state of the associated crane component (brake valve, clutch valve,
etc.), since the connection between the controller and the component
may be faulty due to loose connections, corroded terminals, broken
wiring or improperly operating components.
