Description

SCS4 users are provided clear, detailed messages in their native language guiding them on what to do while troubleshooting or on what to look for while monitoring the spreader.

This accurate diagnostic data is the key to shortening downtime and eliminating the need for time-consuming spreader changeouts.

Operational information, such as events, alarms and trend data, is stored in SCS4 even after the spreader has been disconnected.

This gives service and maintenance personnel the opportunity to review and analyze data in order to further improve spreader productivity.

The SCS4 is mounted on the mainframe of the spreader.

Benefits of the upgrade

  • Easy access to external battery and backup memory
    All information including control program, parameters, counters are stored in the backup memory to facilitate the unlikely situation where a screen needs to be replaced.
  • Visualization monitor
    The visualization monitor shows several operational parameters and data. SCS4 comes with a new, more powerful monitor that features improved user-friendliness, more advanced diagnostics and spreader prognostics.
  • Online tuning
    Operators are allowed to tune spreader parameters online or revert them to factory settings.
  • Display of runtime and spreader data
    Provides detailed information such as events, alarms and log data to help maintenance personnel perform more accurate and efficient maintenance.
  • Communications status of field bus interfaces
    Advanced communications are at the heart of SCS4 spreader control. Communications status of field bus interfaces ensures the secure information flow between SCS4, spreader and crane.
  • Spreader sensor and valves
    All spreader sensors and valves are displayed.
