Crane Integration
This folder contains documentation for integrating Elebia automatic hooks directly with crane control systems. It includes detailed information on: eINST and eLink integration methods for connecting Elebia hooks to crane electronics, dry contact requirements for wired control signals (opening and closing commands without radio frequency), and movement blocking features that allow the crane's hoist or travel motions to be interlocked with the hook's status (preventing unsafe movements when the hook is open or a load is engaged). This folder also covers compatibility with various crane types (overhead, tower, mobile, jib, gantry), wiring diagrams, signal specifications, and troubleshooting integration issues. These resources are designed for crane manufacturers, system integrators, automation engineers, and qualified service personnel who need to embed Elebia hook control into crane OEM systems or retrofit existing cranes. For integration using PLC/computer control without direct crane interface, users should refer to the PLC_Computer folder. For central data acquisition and multi-hook control, users should refer to the eLink folder.
