Description
Winch 10 is a small winch for stage use, mainly for use in theatres, shows, and
concerts. It lifts props and small set pieces in and out of the stage sphere at a
maximum load of 10 kg up and down. Lifting height is 10 meters, and the lifting speed
is from 5cm/s to 30 cm/s.
The winch is controlled by the standard DMX controlling signal, so a normal lighting
desk can be used to control the movement, programmed as normal light.
For a low number of winches, a standard lighting desk can be used, but when many
winches are used, more advanced desks should be used to maintain easy control of the
units.
The Winch 10 uses 7 channels of the DMX-line, and they control the position, speed,
limits, and reset functions.
The Winch 10 has an advanced internal positioning system with 16 bit, used for finding
the position desired by the operator. With a 16 bit positioning channel (ch1 and ch2)
the operator set the desired position, and the winch will run to this position, with the
speed applied on the speed channel (ch3).
With channel 4 and 5 it is possible to set the soft TOP and BOTTOM limits of the winch,
adjusting its span of motion.
Channel 6 and 7 is used for resetting the winch, when powering up.
Multiple winches are easily daisy chained with power in-out and DMX in-Out, allowing
to create advanced and dynamic movements with 100’s of winches working together in
the same installation.
Safety functions
The control system ensures that the motor only is powered when:
•
The control signal is reliable.
•
The position and speed control is on.
•
The motor position is calculated after which a PID regulator calculates the motor
speed and distance.
•
No overload.
