This folder contains frequently asked questions about control and integration of Elebia automatic hooks with external systems. It includes topics such as: controlling Elebia hooks with crane remote controls (wired or wireless), controlling multiple hooks simultaneously from a single remote (e.g., using eMAX for multi-hook selection), compatibility with all crane types (overhead, tower, mobile, jib, gantry, etc.), wired control options using dry contact signals, PLC or computer control via serial port communication (RS232, RS485, and Ethernet protocols), direct integration with crane hoist systems (including movement blocking features for enhanced safety), and how to choose the right integration solution between eINST and eLINK based on application requirements. This folder also covers eLINK system capabilities such as adding hooks, protocol configuration, opening delay settings, temperature limits, and central data acquisition for fleet management. This folder serves as a reference for system integrators, automation engineers, and technical personnel responsible for connecting Elebia products to external control systems.
