Development of an electric drive control system for a bridge crane in a railway carriage repair facility

Abstract

The article is devoted to the development of a modern electric drive control system for bridge cranes in railway repair facilities. The relevance of the work is due to the need to replace outdated relay-contactor systems, which cause low positioning accuracy, cargo oscillation, and high energy consumption. The objective of the study is to create an adaptive system based on frequency control and programmable logic controllers. A method for optimizing cargo movement trajectories using the A* algorithm is proposed, taking into account the static and dynamic obstacles in the workshop.
The system architecture has been developed, which includes a complex of sensors (position, angle of deviation, mass, rotor position) and logical blocks for active vibration damping. The results of computational experiments have confirmed the effectiveness: reducing the cycle time of operations by 12 % and reducing energy consumption for lifting the load by 19 %.
