EXTERNAL WEIGHT MEASUREMENT
Load measurement
This function uses the information supplied by a weight sensor to adapt the current
[Brake release I FW] (Ibr) of the [BRAKE LOGIC CONTROL] (bLC-) function. The signal from the
weight sensor can be assigned to an analog input (usually a 4 - 20 mA signal) or to the pulse-in input,
according to the type of weight sensor.
Example: Measurement of the total weight of a hoisting winch and its load
The current [Brake release I FW] (Ibr) is adapted in accordance with the curve below.
