DCS 600 CraneDrive is ABB's dedicated crane drive that offers a standard range of functions, which ensure safer and faster crane operation for both 'stand alone' and 'field bus' controlled drive configurations. DCS 600 CraneDrive benefits from proven crane software & drive hardware, and is available for both DCS 600 modules and DCA 600 enclosed converters.
This manual introduces the ABB DCS 600 CraneDrive, a ready‑to‑use crane drive covering a wide power range (22 to 5150 A, 10 to 4900 kW). It highlights the compact, lightweight converter modules and low‑inertia DC motor designed for safe and efficient crane operation.
The document details the user interfaces (joystick, radio control, fieldbus communication, and switch supervision) and outlines safety and performance functions such as mechanical brake, fast stop, torque proving, speed and torque monitoring, fault handling, and power optimisation.
