A certified software library for rated capacity limitation in telescopic cranes with qSCALE Sx systems

Give your telescopic cranes certified safety – with qSCALE RCL trueSafety, the first-ever certified software library for these applications. The RCL calculation library and corresponding tools give you a vetted basis for quick and easy certification of applications and machines. As experienced specialists in load moment indication (also known as rated capacity limitation = RCL) for mobile cranes, we regularly set new, innovative standards.

• Enables the safety-oriented mobile controller with PL d acc. to ISO 13849
• Compliant with all specifications for safety-oriented embedded software (SRESW)
• qSCALE RCL trueSafety library includes: RCL calculation program, RCL test program and RCL recording program
• Certified development process, incl. review of all specifications documentation, architecture, module descriptions and module and integration tests
• In combination with certified hardware (controller and sensors) for the certified rated capacity limitation for telescopic cranes
• Applicable for telescopic cranes of the following types: Boom-only, fixed jib, folding or luffing jib and superlift
• Qualified for integrating safety products into new mobile cranes in order to comply with the requirements of the European Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC), type-B-1 ISO 13849 standard, DIN EN ISO 61508 and DIN EN ISO 62061

qSCALE Sx systems consist of a cSCALE control unit with integrated load moment indication - and are also available with certified RCL-C-library (qSCALE RCL trueSafety) as a trueSafety option for telescopic cranes. In combination with user-friendly vSCALE HMI [A] and robust sensors [B], you obtain an integrated safety system for the efficient control and monitoring of your mobile cranes. The corresponding cSCALE control [C] is modular and can be configured according to project requirements. Proven communication with CANopen, CANopen Safety or J1939 protocol [D] is used for the interaction of the system components. Via various connections, it is possible to connect further devices such as actuators or cameras [E]. Additionally, an Ethernet connection [F] and a USB connection [G] are available for diagnosis and service. The WIKA Mobile Control PC Toolchain for customer-specific configuration and diagnosis communicates via these interfaces.

The design of your qSCALE Sx system for load moment indication is individually tailored to the specifications of your mobile machine. As a system integrator, WIKA Mobile Control works with you through all project phases: from analysis and concept evaluation, system design and project planning to prototype testing and field introduction. Our safety experts support certification processes and are available during the entire life cycle management.
