3、ty Preferred Practices for Design and Test.Benefits:This design employs a simple method of providing protection against the effects of a crane operating at a higher than commanded speed while not introducing unwanted nuisance trips to the crane control system. This improves the reliability of the cr

4、ane control system by preventing the crane from reacting to unwanted commands that are not operator initiated. The improvement allows the crane to be used with a higher degree of confidence that a critical failure will not result in damage to the load suspended from the load hook.Provided by IHSNot

6、y used to convey the operator stick input to the drive motors. The voltage sensing relay is set to detect a voltage that is larger than the normal operating voltage of the DC motors in the selected speed (slow, medium, or high). When this voltage is experienced, the relay will shut down the crane op

7、eration and set the brakes. For example, at KSC while performing stacking and mating operations of the Solid Rocket Motors (SRM), External Tank (ET), or Orbiter during Space Shuttle processing, the crane must be operated in the slow speed mode when within close proximity of a structure. The voltage

8、sensing relay is active during this mode to prevent the shuttle components from impacting a surrounding structure as a result of a control circuitry failure. The relay is deactivated while operating in the medium or high speed modes because the critical load is not near an obstruction. This allows t

9、he crane to be operated with a higher degree of confidence and reliability that a critical failure will not result in damage or loss of critical flight hardware during stacking and mating operations.Technical Rationale:With a constant field/varied armature DC motor (more than one motor, the armature

10、s wired in series) the voltage sensing relay coil should be placed in parallel to the motor armature(s) (see Figure 1.). The relay coil should be fed through a bridge rectifier to insure the input to the relay is consistent regardless of the voltage polarity and direction of current flow present in

11、the armatures. The normally open relay contact should be wired in series with the power supplied to the crane and brake controls. When power is applied to the crane the contact should close and enable the drive control circuitry. The contact will remain closed when the voltage in the motor armature

12、is below the predetermined threshold. When the limit is reached, approximately 115% of the full output of the speed range, the contact will open disabling the crane drive and setting the brakes to stop the crane. To avoid the crane shutting down when in the higher speed range, a time delay relay wil

13、l be energized by the speed selector switch and by pass the voltage sensing relay. To prevent nuisance trips when the speed selector switch is repositioned from the higher to the lower speed range while the crane is moving, the time delay relay will disable the voltage sensing relay for a short pred
