2.1 Introduction
The DR control system has been specially developed as a standard parameterisable solu-
tion for the DR rope hoist. It is an inexpensive, bus compatible control system with a high
standard of safety. The DR control system offers configurable functionality, safety, flexibility,
operating data monitoring and analysis functions with a scope rarely found in standard
hoist units.
As an alternative, a conventional contactor control system is available for customers with
difficult environmental conditions or with a connection to an unstable mains supply.
Another alternative is to order the DR rope hoist without an electronic control system. This
must be installed locally by the customer.
The CAN bus (Controller Area Network) is a serial bus system developed by Bosch/Daim-
ler in the eighties. The CAN bus connects different control units and sensors in a monitored
network. The different components (nodes) are uniquely identified by a“Node ID”, a fixed
address.
• It is a standardised, serial process for data transmission. In the CAN bus, data can
be exchanged between different control units and sensors, in a vehicle for instance.
• The system can be so configured that the nodes are able to exchange information
directly.
2.2.2 CANopen
An extended variant of the CANopen protocol. The order of transmission is governed here
by the priority of the message.
• Standard for particularly reliable signal transfer.
• In conjunction with a second processor, safety category 3 in compliance with DIN
EN14492 and 954, i.e. single fault safety, is achieved.
2.2.4 Usichi
Apart from the familiar CAN bus signals, there are other digital signals which are used,
among other things, for the limit switches. Two voltage types are available for this:
Control voltage 48VAC:
• Control voltage power supply
• Signal voltage (e.g. external stop signal)
The term Watchdog (also known as WDC for Watchdog Counter) is used for a system mod-
ule that monitors the function of other components. If it detects a possible malfunction, this
is signalled according to system convention or an appropriate jump command is initiated to
correct the problem detected. The signal or the jump commands serve directly or indirectly
as a trigger for other cooperating system components to solve the problem.
In particular, Watchdogs are used in electrical devices controlled by microcontrollers in
order to forestall a complete breakdown of the device due to software failure. The failure
of an automatic microcomputer system is prevented by the software communicating to the
Watchdog at regular intervals that it is still operating correctly.
In the case of the intelligent Watchdog, the microcontroller must answer a question put by
the external Watchdog module correctly, so this is also known as a challenge-response
concept.
In the case of a fault, not only is a reset of the microcontroller carried out, but the Watchdog
usually brings the complete system (regardless of the microcontroller apparently running
out of control) to a safe status. Example: The three-level concept with intelligent Watchdog
in the electronic accelerator pedal (E-Gas) in a car. Through a skilful choice of the com-
puting operations triggered by the questions, the internal CPU modules (ALU, program
memory, RAM memory and register) can be monitored.

An individual component in a network or bus system is known as a node. The node ID is the
address of the node, with which it can be uniquely identified in the network.
2.3 Structure
The electrical components of the DR 3, 5 and 10 rope hoists are compactly accommodated
in a plastic enclosure. In the crane and the DR 20, the electronics are installed in a metal
switchgear cabinet with protection class IP54.
• The drive control of the electrical peripherals is realised by various modules connected
to the basic board.
• All external connections to the control unit are plug-in type.
• Change-over of pole-changing motors is of floating design.
Concept
The DR control system was designed for controlling a hoist and a travel axis and is there-
fore ideally suited for operation of a crab. For control of the crane travel or a second crab,
separate DR control units are used.
2.4 Structure
2.4.1 General
The DR control system is of modular design. It consists of a basic board with a processor
card and plug-in function modules.
EEPROM
ZMS module
Modular board
• EEPROM:
◦◦ electrically erasable, programmable read-only memory
◦◦ All the operating data are stored on the EEPROM.
• Basic board with dual processor control board:
◦◦ The crab and the crane have identical basic boards and processor cards. The
processor card is permanently connected to the basic board by soldered joints.
◦◦ None of the plugs required for the lifting axis are soldered into the crane control
system base board.
◦◦ The two processors monitor each other to ensure high fail-safe reliability.
◦◦ The processor card works with the parameters and data sets stored in the EE-
PROM. It controls the inputs and outputs as specified by the program.
• Modules
◦◦ For drive control of the main axis (hoist or crane travel) and for the realisation of
additional functions, an axis or function module can be attached.
2.5.1 EEPROM
All the operating data and parameters for the DR control system are stored here. The pa-
rameters can be read with the software “IDAPSY” and can be modified according to the
software licence.
Various functions of the DR control system are realised on the processor card. This is also
where the node ID of the DR control system in the CAN bus is assigned.
Functions of elements on the processor card:
• Hex encoding switch 302: Overload correction / MGS - external load evaluation
• Hex encoding switch 303: Slack rope correction
• Hex encoding switch 304: Partial load correction

In the case of Parallel-IN, the jumper must be removed from terminal X134 and the signal
“No Emergency Stop” directed to X134.1!
The module is used for controlling a hoist inverter with CAN interface.
In the FI module, the frequency inverter acts as the power unit. Since communication with
the inverter is via the CAN-bus, only the relay of the interface remains for controller enable:
X80:
◦◦ PIN 1: +24V DC
◦◦ PIN 2: 0V
X60:
◦◦ PIN 1: X210A, 1)
◦◦ PIN 2: X210A, 3)
◦◦ PIN 3: X10A, 3)
◦◦ PIN 4: X10A, 2)
◦◦ PIN 5: F042 / 95
◦◦ PIN 6: F 042 - 96

• The power contactors are permanently wired with all lines as a block. Connection to
the HSS module is via connector X90
• In the HSS variant, the external contactor unit is the power component. On the HSS
moduke itself, there is only the interface to the control system, consisting of:
◦◦ Four auxiliary relays for control of the external contactors
◦◦ Inputs for monitoring the contactors
NOTE
2.5.7 LS module
The contact breaker module is used for long travel in combination with a frequency inverter.
For long travel with a frequency inverter, the magnetic motor brake must be released be-
fore the travel starts. The LS module supplies the brake module integrated into the basic
board with 400V AC for this purpose.

NOTE
The ZMS module contains all the electronics required for the power supply and evaluation
of the measuring bridge. It is used for the evaluation of strain gauge carrier links (ZMS) and
measuring pins (MA).
The ZMS / MA module permits the execution of all additional functions dependent on load
measurement. They include:
• TARE of the load measurement
• Monitoring of slack rope
• Load display (directly on the DSE-R and DRC-10, or using a large load display)
• Load summation (if there are two crabs)

CAUTION
The ZMS modules for the ZMS and for the MA are different.
The module version is entered in the EEPROM. The content in the operating data area
(E_150_30 bis E_150_39) can be read using the software “IDAPSY”.
NOTE
2.6 Communication
Communication in the DR control system takes place via a CAN bus with the protocol
CANopen safety. This specification also makes it possible to implement safety relevant
functions via the CAN bus.
The following can be used as sources for manual travel and control commands:
• Cable-connected DSE
NOTE
The integration of rope hoists with DR control into automated systems is straightforward
(process or automatic crane). Here the control commands are given by the system control
unit.
In the DR control system there is a CAN interface for control commands. Apart from the
control commands for all travel and hoist movements and the “Stop” command, this inter-
face also includes all the special commands needed for operation (such as Horn, Test limit
switch etc.).
The CAN interface works bidirectionally. A screen is integrated in the DSE and the radio
control units, permitting the display of operating data.
Via the CAN interface, a Wago terminal can be connected to the DR control system to add
digital inputs and outputs. An advantage of the Wago terminal is the possibility of position-
ing it decentrally.
The external bus terminal comprises multiple components from the firm WAGO. It includes
a bus transceiver for connection to the CAN bus used by the DR control system and has
various digital input and output terminals.

• Control units for all normal field buses
• Programming with CoDeSys V2.3
• Different performance classes for a wide variety of
• automation tasks
• Combination of PLC functionality with IT standards
• Many different protocols and libraries are available

The DR control system with an integrated load detector is designed and programmed for a
ZMS strain gauge carrier link. The DR control system can also be used for operation with
a load display
The load display is not a weighing device and cannot, therefore, be used as crane weigh-
ing scales. It provides a three-figure digital display of the load in t within its tolerance limits.
The components are designed for operation in an industrial environment.
From the strain gauge carrier link, the integrated load detector receives an analogue signal
proportional to the load, which is summated and averaged over the measurement interval.
A tare value to be considered is then deducted, if necessary. The result is then output to
the load display via the CAN bus.
ANG-CAN large load displays are suitable for fitting to crane girders or crabs.
CAUTION
Measurements on the control system and the ANG-CAN large load display or on cables
connected to them may only be carried out with high-resistance voltmeters or analys-
ers. Measurements with simple voltage and continuity testers (buzzers) may destroy the
equipment.

2.8.1 Overview
Just as varied as the tasks and application possibilities of the DR control system are its
interfaces. In addition to different facilities for the transmission of commands by the opera-
tor or from a higher level control system and the signalling of operating status and events,
there are also interfaces for additional external components and some which are only used
for programming, parameter programming or troubleshooting.
The interface to the DR control system is provided by a CAN bus (Controller Area Network).
As generally used in the automotive sector, the CAN bus connects a network of different
control units and sensors. The protocol CANopen safety used here makes it possible to
transmit even safety relevant data via the CAN bus.
The control signal source expected by the DR control system is defined by DIP switch
301.8 and the parameter Source of control signals (see IDAPSY). DIP switch 301.8 switch-
es the signal of the Emergency Off function between Parallel In at 48V and the CAN bus
protocol.
NOTE
Control commands via CAN bus use the CANopen safety protocol
Thanks to the secure communication complying with safety level SIL-4, safety relevant
functions can also be implemented via the CAN bus, in addition to the travel/control com-
mands and display data. This secure communication is used by the following control pen-
dants and remote control units:
• Control pendant family DSE-...
• Radio control systems from Scanreco (DRC-10 or DRC-J)
• Radio control systems from HBC (Spectrum)
• DPC parallel module
Today, the following travel and control commands are transmitted via the CAN bus:
NOTE
PDO (Process Data Object) is a bus object used for the transmission of simple control
signals in the DR control system.
SRDO (Safety Related Data Object) is a secure bus object used for the realisation of
safety functions such as Stop and Emergency Off. This object is always duplicated and
the two versions are constantly compared.
Every DR control system has digital inputs of different types and for different purposes. The
number of inputs depends on the type of DR control system and the axis module employed.
Many have a specific function, some limit switch inputs have special features related to the
limit switch variant and the three “universal” inputs can each be assigned a function de-
pending on its parameter programming. Here is an overview:
Apart from the inputs listed here, there are also other inputs for detection of the switching
status of contactors depending on the drive arrangement. As a rule, these inputs are di-
rectly adapted to the axis module concerned and are therefore not mentioned here.
CAUTION
It should be borne in mind that the three universal inputs are intended for different func-
tions (bypass control, load or speed reduction, approach support, destination positioning
control, specific motion enabling), but only one function can be assigned to each. It should
also be noted here that some functions require two or even all the universal inputs. The
functions of the universal inputs are determined by the parameter programming of the
functions mentioned above.
Thanks to the bus concept of the DR, it is possible to realise even complex
functions such as bypass control or distancing without the usual need for
extensive wiring between the individual control units.
Naturally, the CAN bus can also be used for extensions if there are not
enough DR control digital inputs and outputs (see „1.8.1 Externe Bus-
Klemme“ auf Seite 35). If necessary, additional signals, unrelated to the
function of the DR control systems, can also be transmitted via the CAN
bus. In this case, however, care must be taken to ensure that the so-called
bus load (the degree of utilisation of the bus system over time as a percent-
age) does not reach a critical level.
3 Electrical assembly
NOTE
All electrical components are supplied as Plug and Lift/Drive Sets in order to simplify the
work of the technicians on site and to keep the costs of a repair or extension to the system
as low as possible.
All connection options and possibilities are described in the circuit diagram or in the
operating instructions.

For the CAN bus, a final resistor of 120 Ohm is required at either end of the bus cable.
These resistors are fitted in the individual CAN subscribers. Since each of these final resis-
tors is a load on the bus, the useful signal level on the bus decreases with each additional
resistor. Two final resistors are ideal, more than three should not be fitted.

The wiring of crab limit switches is similar to that of crane limit switches:
• X48: Fast-to-slow switch (Usichi)
• X16: Limit switch cut-off (Usichi)
If there are two crabs, only one needs to be fitted with the cut-off device for distancing. The
other crab receives the required information via the CAN bus (OSSD signals), when the
corresponding parameters have been programmed.
