What does your plant need?
Inclination…
Static value that is suitable for movement sequences that are not
subject to extreme changes. The static value for the inclination
is used for long-term monitoring of the machine to determine if
readjustment is required.
… based on the example of a lifting platform
Continuous monitoring and leveling of the vehicle, working platform,
or overall system.
Acceleration…
Dynamic value that needs to be monitored in order to quickly
identify short-term dynamic influences on the machine.
… based on the example of a lifting platform
To prevent a dangerous situation when the lifting platform is
extended
and may be affected by a sudden gust of wind.
This will permit early detection by the control system and
readjustment
before a permissible inclination angle is exceeded.
