Single hoist overload protection

Load measurement

The load sensor signal is amplified with built-in amplifiers. OWL converts the
amplified signal to load value by means of a calibration procedure. Typically, the load
accuracy is ± 5% (with the nominal load) in this kind of system.

Overload protection activating

Overload is detected when at least one of the following conditions is true for the
duration of time stated:
▪ 1000-ms average load is greater than 110% of the rated (nominal) load
▪ 200-ms average load is greater than 125% of the rated (nominal) load
▪ 60-ms average load is greater than 140% of the rated (nominal) load.
When the overload is detected, OWL stops the hoisting, and the OWL display shows
an “Overload” alarm. The overload and the alarm are cleared and hoisting up is
allowed again when the 1000-ms average load value decreases below 80% of the
rated load.

Note that the contacts of the relays between HIN and HOUT are normally open, and
they are tested at the start of every lifting motion. The contacts are closed only when
HIN is active, and there are no faults or overload.

Basic condition monitoring calculation

Starts
The number of starts (hoisting and lowering)
This counter is incremented each time that either one of HOUT or LIN is activated
Running time
The actual hoist running time when HOUT or LIN is activated
It registers the total time during either one of HOUT or LIN is active
Brakings
The number of braking operations
This counter is incremented each time that ether one of the HOUT or LIN is activated
Controls
The HOUT output activation counts or the LIN input activations counts, depending which one of these
two counts is higher

13 05/04/24
 Basic condition monitoring calculation

SRT3
The hoist running time as a function of cubic mean value of the load
OWL calculates SRT3 for every 100 milliseconds when the hoist is running
SRT3 value can be used in calculating the runtime-based SWP (SWPRT%) for the hoist with following formula:

• D_SRT3 stands for the design value “hoist running time weighed to the power of three of the load”. You can find the correct D_SRT3
value based on the hoist duty class

14 05/04/24
Basic condition monitoring calculation

SL3
The hoisting cycle count as a function of cubic mean value of the load
OWL calculates SL3 for each hoisting cycle
SL3 value can be used in calculating the working cycle-based SWP (SWPHC%) for the hoist with
following formula:

D_SSL3 stands for the design value “hoisting cycle count weighed to the power of three of the load”. You can find the correct D_SRT3 value
based on the hoist duty class

15 05/04/24
Basic condition monitoring calculation

Power on time
The actual time that the OWL device has been energized
Temperature index
The power on time indexed with temperature
You can use the ratio of Parameter 1.8 (Temperature index) and
Parameter 1.7 (Power on time) for estimating the OWL external
average temperature (that is, the temperature inside the electric
cubicle). By calculating this ratio, you can confirm a possible
high temperature problem.

Shock load prevention function (DMR hoist)

Enabling this function

The fast speed hoisting command must be wired through pins RIN→ROUT, and
“Fout” must be selected in the parameter 4.8.1 (ROUT operation).

In the new OWL software, this function is turned on as the default setting.

Operation states of the function

When the measured load increase exceeds 10% of the rated load of the hoist
within a 60ms sampling time, the unit will restrict the hoisting speed to only slow-
speed by opening the ROUT relay contact.

Fast-speed hoisting is allowed again when the load increase within the last 300ms
is less than 1% of the rated load of the hoist.

The shock load prevention function will temporarily go to disabled state when the L. Load
hoisting in fast-speed is re-enabled after having first been restricted to slow-speed. T. Time
The function being disabled means that the hoisting speed restriction will not re-
occur until the function has been reset. 1. Slow speed
2. Fast speed
To reset the function the measured load must stay below 10% of the rated load of
the hoist for at least 1000ms. 3. Load increase less than 1% during 300ms

4 If applicable, use the key switch to turn on the remote or pendant controller.

5 Release the emergency stop button and press “Start”.

6a The OWL device (normal operation):

Once the power is connected, check that the green LED light is ON, and the
display shows the load value (=home screen).
You can now move on to the next phase (“OWL testing without load in the
hook”).

6b An unexpected message displayed on the OWL device:

“Not calibrated” appears on the home screen. This means that you must
carry out the calibration procedure before proceeding with load tests. See
“Calibration” for detailed instructions.
If any other alarm or fault is shown on the home screen, refer to
“Troubleshooting” for further instructions.

32 05/04/24
Testing without load in the hook

1 Make sure that there is no load or loading device in the hook.

2a Run the hoist up and down at slow speed, then at fast speed while
observing the OWL display and LED status lights. Check that the green
LED is blinking, indicating that the overload protection is working.
Check that no messages appear on the display. The display should show
"0.0t" within ±5% of the rated load.

2b If the zero load is not shown correctly within the given limits, carry out the
calibration procedure.
After calibration, retest without a load.

33 05/04/24
Testing with load

1a Lift a load of known weight, in the range of 50…125% of the rated load,
just above the ground.
The display should show the test load within ±5% of the hoist rated
(nominal) load.

1b If the load is not shown correctly within the given limits, carry out the
calibration procedure.
Retest OWL again without and with the load.

4 Use the navigation buttons to correct the rated load and press ENT.
The new rated load value is now stored into the memory of OWL.

35 05/04/24
Calibration – calibrating the zero load

1 Verify that the position of the sensor type selection switch is correct:
“H” for a half-bridge sensor
“F” for a full-bridge sensor

2 Enter the four-digit password and press ENT.

3 Use the arrow and ENT buttons to access Menu 4 (Set-up), and its Parameter 4.2 (Offset correction).

4 Press ENT to access Parameter 4.2.1: the text “Check hook is empty” appears.
Make sure the hook is empty before proceeding with the task.

5a Press ENT, and wait that the offset correction level reached appears on the display. If the offset correction is successful,
the value displayed is 0.48…0.52 V.
After three seconds, the display returns back to the Parameter 4.2 (Offset correction) view.

5b If the offset correction fails, the display shows “Offset corr. failed”.
Check the load sensor type selection switch and the load sensor connections. Repeat the offset correction steps.

36 05/04/24
Calibration – calibrating the test load

1 1. Disable the overload protection by following the instructions in “Disabling the overload protection”.
2. Lift a load of known weight, in the range of 50%...125% of the rated load, just above the ground.
3. Check that the display shows the lifted load. Note that the displayed value may be inaccurate.

2 Enter the four-digit password and press ENT.

3 Use the arrow and ENT buttons to access Menu 4 (Set-up), and its Parameter 4.3 (Calibrate test load).

4 Press ENT to access Parameter 4.3.1, and by using the navigation buttons, enter the known weight of the load lifted.

5 OWL asks to check first that the load is balanced properly on the hook and does not sway.
Confirm by pressing ENT, and OWL measures the voltage of the load sensor signal.

6 The display shows the known weight load value (in tons) and the corresponding voltage calibration value (in volts DC).
The text “Calibrated” is visible for three seconds.

7 If the load calibration is not successful and the fault message “Calibration failed” appears, see “Troubleshooting” for further
instructions.

8 You can verify the current calibration values via Parameter 4.4 (Calibration values)

Modifying calibration values

1 Enter the four-digit password (Level 2 password) and press ENT.

2 Check that Parameter 4.1 (Rated Load Parameter) has the correct value.
Calibrate the zero load point, see instructions in “Calibrating the zero load point”.

3 Use “▲”, ”▼” and ENT buttons to access Menu 4 (Set-up), and Parameter 4.7 (Set calibration values).

4 To access Parameter 4.7.1, press ENT. By using the navigation buttons, enter the value of Parameter 4.7.1 from the old
OWL device.
Confirm the weight of the test load by pressing ENT.
Note: The value of the Parameter 4.7.1 must be 50% or more of the rated load.
Note: Fault F:Calibration might activate after this step but ignore the fault at this phase, and proceed to the next step.

5 To access Parameter 4.7.2, press ENT. By using the navigation buttons, enter the value of Parameter 4.7.2 from the old
OWL device.
Confirm the test load voltage by pressing ENT.

Note: Test load voltage must be within the range of 0.6…3.2 V.

6 After the calibration values have been set correctly, the fault F: Calibration disappears from the screen.
If Fault F:Calibration remains active, the calibration values are outside the acceptable range. For more information on the
correct values, see chapter “Load measurement”.

7 If possible, lift a load of known weight just above the ground. The display should show the weight of the load within +/- 5%
of the hoist rated load.

53 05/04/24
Faults and alarms

When OWL detects a fault or an alarm, the

hoisting output (HOUT) is turned off, the hoist
brake applies, and hoisting up is prevented.
Lowering is always allowed during these
situations.

54 05/04/24
Faults and alarms

The last ten faults and/or alarms are stored into the
OWL memory.
When OWL detects a fault, it records the fault name
and the current “Starts” value into the OWL memory.
If the memory already contains ten events, then the
oldest one is erased from the memory.
OWL also maintains a cumulative count of each alarm
or fault in the memory.

55 05/04/24
Warnings

The OWL has preprogrammed design limit parameters for the maximum number of brakings and for
the maximum number of controls (contactor operations) for the hoist. OWL displays a warning if either
one of these limits is exceeded
The warning does not prevent hoisting up or affect the functioning of the OWL device, but once the
design limit is reached, the component (hoist brake or contactors) must be replaced.
