qSCALE I2 Crane Configurator Tool

T he unique and easy-to-use qSCALE I2 Crane Configurator tool
excludes complex application software programming.
S imple configuration of the crane parameters and features,
including the SLI functions, significantly reduces the system
integration time.
q SCALE I2 Crane Configurator comes with a comprehensive set
of default graphics and languages, so the graphic layout can be
defined in just a few clicks.
D
 etailed documentation of the crane configuration and crane
data, as well as comprehensive service menus, are available on the
console and PC.

T he unique qSCALE I2 calibration process determines the geometric

details of the crane from just a few initial geometric data, even if
they are inaccurate.
T his calibration process is completed within a few hours and is
only necessary for the first prototype of the crane model. Further
cranes of the same model require only reduced recalibration to
compensate production tolerances.

 educed and simplified

R
calibration of the crane

Using the qSCALE I2 Crane Configurator Tool,

the need for programming is eliminated.

During the commissioning of the crane

prototype, the calibration is reduced to
a minimum and simplified through a
menu-driven calibration process:

N
 o CoDeSys or other programming knowledge required
An effective Safe Load Indicator system solution for small
and medium-sized telescopic cranes

C
 onfiguration functions for applications can be executed
by a system integrator or service partner

Know-how of complex high-technology solutions has been

transformed to the Low-End level

M
 inimization of the system integration time

Developed for current and future standards

HMI visualisation and load moment indication are
integrated in only one device
System maintenance costs and repairs are minimized due to
the high quality and reliability of the components
All standard sensor interfaces are supported: such as CANopen,
420mA, 0-10V and/or wireless sensors

 SCALE I2 makes the

q
job of the crane operator
easier and safer
The crane operator also benefits from the new
qSCALE I2 concept:
User-friendly and self-explaining HMI console supports the
crane operator and increases protection against operator mistakes
Operator is guided step by step through each setting
Graphic elements visualize the crane setup and allow easy
verification with the real crane configuration
Operating modes can be selected by graphic rather than
anonymous numerical codes
The safety risk of choosing the wrong operating mode is minimized
E xtended diagnostic and service menus reduce crane down-time

SLI features of qSCALE I2

Out-of-the-box, the qSCALE I2 supports a wide set
of features used by telescopic crane applications:
Indirect measurement using one or two pressure sensors
(piston side / rod and piston side pressure) and angle sensor

M
 ultiple pick points (not at the same time)

Telescoping synchronously or asynchronously (one length measurement only)

W
 orking range alarms

Support for optional jibs or inserts

M
 ultiple winches
C
 onfigurable cut-off e.g.
- overload cut-off

Outrigger monitoring
Rigging state selection based on external signals
Rigging / transport modes

- single movement
- wind speed or high voltage detection cut-off
