Introduction
The RCI-4100 data logging occurs automatically whenever the driver lifts a load, whenever the RCI-4100
detects an error condition on the crane such as moving outside the load chart or whenever the over-ride key
switch is operated. The installer has the option to set the percentage of SWL a load must reach before the
load will be logged. This logging percentage can be set anywhere between 13% and 110% of SWL.
In addition, the installer can configure three lift counters which can count the number of lifts performed in
three distinct SWL % regions below the logging percentage.
Description of Logging Features
Data Logging is stored in a circular arrangement. That is, when the logs are full and another log is
performed, the oldest log in the logger will be over-written. Each record stores the following data:
Log Number Sequential number starting at “1”
Start Date Date log started (dd/mm/yyyy)
Start Time Time log started (hh:mm:ss)
Finish Date Date log finished (dd/mm/yyyy)
Finish Time Time log finished (hh:mm:ss)
Peak Load
Maximum Peak load recorded during log cycle
Stable Load Maximum Stable load recorded during log cycle
SWL Safe Working Load at operating position
Percent SWL Percentage of Load/SWL
Radius Operating Radius
Error Codes Standard 3 digit LSI-Robway error codes compiled into a 10 digit
number
Crane Model Not used (always “1”)
Duty Number Selected Duty number
Winch selected Selected winch
Falls reeved Selected falls
Over-ride state Over-ride key switch state: Off or On
Logging is performed automatically when the percentage of SWL exceeds a threshold value which is set in
Function Codes.
When the
logging percentage is not exceeded while lifting a particular load, the lift occurrence can still be
recorded in a lift counter . Three separate lift counters can be configured to store the number of lifts which
occur in a particular SWL % region. Once again, the exact SWL percentages which will be counted can be
configured by setting the appropriate Function Codes.
