A crane manufacturer needed to replace a damaged existing variable frequency drive in one of their cranes. The challenge was to find a replacement that could control both hoist and trolley functions with a single unit, while also being compatible with the existing PLC system.
As a regular customer of Sumitomo Drive Technologies, PT. NUSA KRANTECHNIK INDONESIA turned to them for a solution. Sumitomo Heavy Industries Indonesia, using their expertise in crane applications and their partnership with Invertek Drives, recommended the Optidrive P2. This VFD offered the flexibility to control both hoist and trolley functions, ensuring precise and reliable operation of the crane.
The replacement project involved modifying the existing wiring to integrate the Optidrive P2 with the older PLC system. SDT, in collaboration with Invertek, provided technical support and guidance throughout the process. This included parameter specification for the crane application and development of a PLC program to manage both hoist and trolley functions simultaneously.
The Optidrive P2 was successfully installed and commissioned, providing seamless control of both crane functions.
