ABSTRACT:
A control system which stabilizes the hoisting rope of a suspension crane comprising a travel drive control unit capable of calculating a torque reference signal by a speed regulating controller having a proportional gain and an integrator or only a proportional gain on the basis of the deviation of a speed detection signal representing the rotating speed of a traveling motor for driving the trolley of the crane from a speed reference signal obtained by subtracting a damping control speed reference correction signal which is obtained by adding a damping factor to a swing angle calculated on the basis of the speed detection signal representing the rotating speed of the traveling motor or a calculated load torque on the traveling motor from a speed reference signal provided through a linear acceleration starter device by a speed reference device, of controlling the rotating speed of the traveling motor according to the torque reference signal, and of producing a damping effect for damping the oscillation of the hoisting rope through the output drive shaft of the traveling motor; a hoist motor for hoisting the hoist load; and a hoist motor drive control unit. The control system suppresses the oscillation of the hoisting rope resulting from the acceleration and deceleration of the trolley, enabling the trolley to travel at a relatively high speed and further enabling the automatic operation of the crane.
