LOAD
10 kg
INT
Load
The current total load (weight of the payload including weight of
the load suspension device) is determined by the load meas‐
urement system and transferred to the sway control system via
the PLC. This value is used for analog correction of the effective
pendulum length.
1 increment for each 10 kg
Load is limited to values between 0 and 32767

SINT
Parameter set
Number for selecting the four different parameter sets. Various
velocities or accelerations can be set in the different sets, for
example.
1: Parameter set 1
2: Parameter set 2
3: Parameter set 3
4: Parameter set 4
Note:
If the upper or lower limit is violated, the value is limited to the
upper or lower limit.
