Introduction to the Crane
1 INTRODUCTION TO THE CRANE
The applicatives for crane developed for the CFW-11 SoftPLC function provides flexibility to the user in the
system use and in its configuration. It uses the tools already developed for the WLP programming software,
together with configuration wizards and monitoring dialog boxes.
1.1 CRANE HORIZONTAL MOTION
The crane horizontal motion (or load translation) consists in moving the load in the horizontal direction by
executing commands to forward and reverse the load. The long travel, the cross travel, and the boom rotation,
among others, are horizontal motions.

1.2 CRANE VERTICAL MOTION
The crane vertical motion consists in moving the load vertically by executing commands to move it up and
down. The load hoisting and its lowering are the vertical motions.
