Historically, crane control was done by creating a custom program in the drive. This approach required system integrators to employ dedicated, in-house programmers with crane control knowledge and skill who would devote extensive time and effort to each project. As you might imagine, this was very costly. By leveraging decades of crane application experience, ABB can help you achieve these same goals using the ACS880 with Crane Control, which provides an ideal solution for the hoist, trolley and long-travel movements of cranes, regardless of voltage or horsepower needs and without the need for extensive in-house programming.
