Brommas spreader control system Bromma SCS3 is a major advance in spreader control technol-ogy. SCS3 builds on the foundation of Bromma SCS2 (first introduced in 2001), in that it is a comprehensive spreader control system that makes possible fast and specific fault diagnosis. However, in significant ways, SCS3 represents a major step forward beyond SCS2, as SCS3 features a much higher level of user-friendli-ness, a significant simplification in design, and the opening up of a new area of functionality spreader prognostics.

In short, the new SCS3 system will allow terminals to push operational performance higher. Among the many operational advantages of the SCS3 system things that Bromma technology can do, that competing technology cannot are the following:

With the new SCS3 system, terminal operators can perform various on-line functions, such as adjusting sensor limits or scanning for bus faults. (The single biggest fault problem on a spreader is a sensor thats out of adjustment.

With the new SCS3 system, terminal users can do predictive maintenance Twistlock losing signal; twistlock mechanics need adjustment Flipper decreasing in speed; check chain at next service interval or Twin-latches are close to the margin; sensors need adjustment before they start missing due to rules-based artificial intelligence.

With the new SCS3 system, terminal users have the potential of automatically transmittin spreader events, logs, alarms, and MMBF statistics to the

terminal organization headquarters for comprehen-sive spreader fleet performance analysis.

With the new SCS3 system, terminal users can dramatically simplify the number of relays and terminal points on the spreader (Greater design simplicity often results in greater reliability.)

With the new SCS3 system, terminal users can look at the error log even after the spreader is pulled from the crane. (With spreaders that use the for instance ASi, all data is very often lost when the spreader is pulled from the crane. The ability to review error log data is what allows the terminal to do retroactive fault analysis.)

With the new SCS3 system, a terminal engineer can evaluate and control the spreader from the central terminal control room. He is not dependent on anyone else on site to evaluate and provide feedback on the situation. The engineer can in real time view the same information in the central operating area as the technician sees when hes looking at the spreader.

With the new SCS3 system, terminal users can capture very specific diagnostic fault information immediately after a fault occurs. (Shorter fault duration leads to more uptime and fewer spreader change-outs.)

With the new SCS3 system, terminal users have access to all spreader diagrams, drawings and manuals right on the spreader. Also, the on-board touch-screen display has been designed for high readabil-ity and durable performance under the many chal-lenging environmental conditions found at the port such as sun glare and high heat, among others.

The SCS3 system is not just new technology it is new technology that makes possible a series of practical,functional advantages. These are features and benefits that only Bromma Group can offer terminaloperators today benefits that are the latest in Brommas long-term tradition of innovation.

The Power of Easy. The Power of 3.Only from Bromma.

Bromma SCS3 lets spreader users see more and see more easily. A large touch-screen monitor, using simple-to-understand language, makes possible supe-rior ease-of-use. Information is not only there but it is easy to access, understand, and act upon. With Bromma SCS3 terminals finally have a technician operator interface with high functionality that is also simple to use.

What do operators see? When the red light goes on, Bromma SCS3 delivers very specific diagnostic information, and then captures that information with a powerful database-driven software engine. The engine includes:

Anevent log for an easy-to-follow sequence of events

Analarm log with alarms stored separately and

acknowledged Atrend log, through which to follow

performance over time and observe changes in spreader behaviour

AStatiStiCal log for internal storage of everything from container count to sub-system MMBF numbers

AblaCkbox reCorder storing a snapshot of signal sequences when an alarm is triggered

Plus, as noted earlier, with the new SCS3 system, terminal users can continue to examine the error log even after the spreader is pulled from the crane. (With other crane spreader brands, all data is very often lost when the spreader is pulled from the crane. The ability to review error log data is what allows the terminal to do retroactive fault analysis.)

It is well known that high spreader reliability is essen-tial for high terminal performance. Spreader return on investment derives directly from spreader productivity, and spreader productivity is highly leveraged to fault frequency and duration. This is why the diagnostic capabilities of Bromma SCS3 can have a significant impact, over the spreader fleet lifetime, on terminal financial performance. System diagnostic software identifies the spreader fault area, and then, identifies

either a single fault cause or, in certain cases, a narrow range of causes. This extremely precise diagnostic data is the key to shortening downtime duration and eliminating the need for operationally disruptive spreader change-outs.

See the Future

One of the important functional advances in SCS3 is the addition of spreader prognostics. SCS3 software uses rule-based artificial intelligence to identify future fault behaviour before the fault actually occurs. Rules-based predictive maintenance Twistlock losing signal; twistlock mechanics need adjustment Flipper decreasing in speed; check chain at next ser-vice interval makes possible a shift in focus from corrective (problem-solving) to preventive (problem-preventing) activities.

Bromma spreader prognostics provide the information flow for a whole range of predictive and preventive spreader service activities. Steadily narrowing the time the service technician team spends on corrective activities, and steadily increasing the time the service technician team spends on preventive activities, will produce significant benefits in spreader uptime and optimized performance.

The Power of AdvancedNo spreader control and communications system delivers more information, more easily, than Bromma SCS3.

The visualization monitor illustrates spreader sen-sors and valves, the communications status of field bus interfaces, the control panel for operating the spreader, and runtime and spreader data. It allows operators to tune spreader parameters online or revert them to factory settings. It also allows advanced users the opportunity to make more detailed configura-tions. Also, security controls extend to up to seven user levels.

Beyond this, the SCS3 system has a full range of external communications capabilities, creating unsurpassed accessibility to external resources. On the system, all user interfaces have a web equivalent which can be accessed with a web browser. Depending on how the spreader is hooked up, information can be accessed either by cable, WLAN or internet. The onboard PDF reader provides access to manuals, diagrams, drawings, and spare parts data. Terminals can perform various on-line functions, such as adjusting sensor limits, as terminal engineers can evaluate and control the spreader from the central terminal control room. Global terminal management

organizations also gain an important information col-lection tool terminal users can automatically trans-mit spreader events, logs, alarms, and statistics to the terminal organization headquarters for comprehensive retroactive spreader fleet performance analysis.

Easy. Simple. Intelligently advanced. The new SCS3 spreader control system represents the new frontier in spreader control, diagnostics, prognostics and communications.

The Power of Simple

The transition from Bromma SCS2 to Bromma SCS3 will allow for a consider-able improvement in overall system simplicity in a typical installation. The box below summarizes how a typical spreader installation will allow for the following simplification in system requirements:

Over 300 wired terminal points Approx. 100 wired terminal points

Greater than 9 ASB boxes Less than 8 ASB boxes

Approximately 130 1/O relays Less than 25 I/O relays

This dramatic reduction in component clutter will in itself likely boost spreader reliability, as wired terminal points are a common source of electrical faults. In fact, electrical faults are the #1 source of spreader downtime.

System ConfigurationBromma SCS3 is built around a powerful 500 MHz Pentium CPU with IEC 61131 conformance for run-time machine control. Enhanced functionality includes func-tion blocks for all spreader functions and the capability to monitor performance within each box. Internal I/O modules include RS485 and SSI. CANopen and a flexible Anybus gateway provide a robust and elegant system architecture. Modern IT technology (USB, TCP/IP, and UMTS) is fully integrated.

SCS3 features a CAN booster which is designed to amplify communication above noise levels. There is 24v differential amplitude on the bus line and 3w output power on communication. The CAN booster acts as a fuse/protection on the control system and is compatible with BCAN and CAN standard. Noise immunity the level of noise the system can take is 100 times above permissible levels.

System hardware can handle advanced HMI and distributed scalable systems, and can support multiple interfaces. Software provides multiple pre-defined spreader views. A universal crane-spreader interface is achieved with DS444, which is a global standard for crane-spreader interface managed by the CIA orga-nization CAN in Automation. This device-specific profile for crane-to-spreader communication is integrated into SCS3.

An ASi converter converts any configuration of ASi to CANopen, eliminating any concerns over compatability between differing interfaces or protocols.
