Programmable Overloadprotection GHC-1

GHC-1 is the most economic State-of-the-Art system used for overload protection on cranes and other lifting equipment. It is also suitable for a number of other applications in rugged conditions, including construction and harbor equipment.

 

The GHC-1 system consists of sensors (forces, angles) and a control (PLC) with or without multi-colour graphical display which are both programmed in World-Standard IEC 61131-3 language CoDESys ®.

 

GHC-1 fulfils its safety function by activating or shutting down crane functions via digital outputs. It can be linked directly to the crane controls and other systems by CANBUS or by optional analogue outputs with 4…20 mA output current.

 

GHC-1 comes as a plug-and-play solution and can be calibrated without any special tools simply on the screen in a very short time.
