Laser measuring system
STS cranes can be equipped with a laser measuring system for measuring the container stack.
You will find detailed information in Chapter Using a bay scanner (Page 204).
Alternatively, a complete ship profile measured by a 2D/3D laser system can be transferred
from the higher-level control system to the sway control system for both STS and GSU
applications. The values are transferred to the sway control system via external variable
blocked regions. You will find more information in Chapter External variable blocked regions

Overview of operating modes, functions and required licenses
This chapter provides an overview of the functions in the different operating modes and
explains which licenses are required for the individual operating modes.
Operating modes and functions
You will find detailed information on the operating modes and functions in the following
chapters:
● For sway control, see Chapter Sway Control function description (Page 147)
● For TLS control, see Chapter TLS control function description (Page 237)

Overview of operating modes - sway control functions (STS, GSU)
Operating mode
Functions
Manual mode (MAN)
● Specification of the velocity setpoint by the higher-level control system
● Operation with and without sway control (trolley)
● Single or combined operation of hoist and trolley
● Generation of internally learned variable blocked regions
● Soft approach: Consideration of blocked regions with different responses
depending on whether blocked regions are fixed or variable (can be activated/
deactivated)
Positioning mode (POS)
● Specification of a target position by the higher-level control system
● Operation with and without sway control (trolley)
● Single or combined operation of hoist and trolley
● Move to the target position on the shortest path without taking blocked regions into
account
● On-the-fly unloading without taking blocked regions into account (GSU only)
Sway neutralization load position
(SNL)
● Specification of the internally calculated load position as a target position
● Sway-controlled travel of the trolley
● Not for the hoist and not when GSU is selected
● Move to the target position on the shortest path without taking blocked regions into
account
