SAFETY NOTES

• Prior to calibration of the load sensors, check, and if necessary, calibrate the Boom
Angle Sensor / Inclinometer.

• If the COR battery voltage goes below 3.0 V, there will be a warning, Error10, on the
display. Press the ACK button to continue operation.

• Transfer the COR data to the PTU and replace the battery as soon as possible. If
the Mipeg system loose the 24Vdc supply with a low COR back-up battery, the
COR data could be lost. Ref. paragraph 5.2.5.

• When the COR battery has been replaced, the Mipeg system will restart with the
default clock (01.01.YY), but the contents of the COR will be corrupted.

• Connect the PTU, set Mipeg clock and carry out a ‘Reset all counters’ (the Mipeg
System page).

• Care should be taken when removing the sensor cover to gain access to the sensor
unit and its wiring. The sensor cover should be supported at all times when the socket
head retaining screws are removed. The sensor covers are heavy and if their weight
is allowed to hang on the internal wiring damage to the wires and sensor could occur.
On reassembly it is essential to use the correct torque figure for the cover retaining
screws.

Rope Speed Indicator


• If the number of falls has been changed, the hooks have to be set to top position and a 'Anti Two Reset'
has to be carried out. See paragraph 3.5.

General Description

The MIPEG 2000 crane safe load indicator comprises sensors fitted to the crane, a computer
cabinet and a display located in the crane cabin. Figure 2.1 shows a block diagram of the MIPEG
2000 system.

The load sensor provides frequency modulated electrical signals that are proportional to the
developed loads in the load hoist rope. An inclinometer provides boom angle information that is
used for calculation of the hook radius.

In operation the actual load lifted by the crane are automatically compared with corresponding data
related to the maximum permissible crane loading. The permissible and actual loads, together with
the actual, expressed as a percentage of permissible are displayed. If this percentage exceeds a
preset value, alarms and safety functions are activated.

The computer stores the required load-radius curves. These fixed crane parameters are stored in
the main computer's memory, while the calibration of the crane is performed using a known load
and boom angle, or known calibration factors. This information is tabulated into the main computer
memory via a portable terminal unit (PTU) connected to the system as shown in Figure 2.1.

In the recording version of Mipeg 2000, a crane operation recorder (COR) is provided to store data
describing events like lifts, overload alarms, system errors, calibration of sensors, etc. These COR
data can subsequently be retrieved by use of the portable terminal unit mentioned above, saved on
a disc for further treatment and eventually be printed out on suitable equipment remotely located
from the crane.

The MIPEG 2000R for this project comprises the following main parts:

- Computer Cabinet (6.1)


- Driver's Display (6.2)
- Sensors (load, moment & boom angle) (6.3)

A technical description of these main parts is given in Section 6. The numbers in parenthesis are
references to paragraphs for these descriptions.

Operating Instructions

3.1 Brief Description of MIPEG 2000 Operation

MIPEG 2000 is a computerised crane safety system. It measures load, moment and radius and
indicates safe or hazardous conditions.

It has three main parts; the computer cabinet, the driver's display unit and the sensors. The driver's
display unit is located in the crane driver's cabin, and its layout is shown in Figure 3.1. In addition, a
portable terminal unit is used for system maintenance.

MIPEG 2000 interfaces with the crane and prohibits some functions under dangerous conditions.
These crane operation relays and their functions are described in Appendix I. In addition, alarms
are given for loads exceeding the alarm limits of the safe working load.

It is recommended MIPEG 2000 to be constantly powered if possible, even during periods of time
when the crane is not in operation. No warm up time for the system is required, but the load sensor
will need 5-10 minutes after power on to achieve maximum accuracy and stability.

3.1.1 Verification of Driver's Display Unit

Before using the crane:Check that the LEDs back lighting the driver’s display panel are illuminated.

The back light can be adjusted if one keep the AUX button depressed and use the TEST button to
toggle the light intensity. Release the buttons between each setting.

Press the TEST button on the Drivers Display unit and confirm:

• Operation of the analogue display of percentage safe working load by allowing the needle to make
at least one complete revolution.
• Integrity of the WARNING (Yellow) and ALARM (Red) lamps on DDU - will light continuously.
• Operation of display digits. Each segment of each window will show a figure eight.
• If everything is satisfactory - proceed, otherwise call maintenance.

Aanderaa Data Instruments Document W-130 H00 246, Date 17.11.2021, Page 8 of 59
Press the 'AUX' button and confirm the following:

• Accuracy of the DATE and TIME information presented. If either is incorrect make a note to inform
maintenance when the work programme is completed ie. it is satisfactory to proceed to operate the
crane with apparent DATE and TIME errors.

• COR% (Crane Operation Recorder) full reading is less than 95%. If it is greater than 95% then the text
COR FULL will be displayed in the Hook Load and SWL windows between lifts. By pressing the ACK
button, one can clear this text. Call maintenance staff who have authority to clear the COR.

• If operation of the crane continues and the COR becomes 100% full no crane functions will be available
subsequent to completing that lift when the COR increased to 100%. At this stage the horn will sound,
the COR full error code, 'Er32', displayed in Hook Load window will flash continuously as will the
ALARM light. Pressing the ACK button will cancel the horn only. Further crane operations can only be
accomplished after clearing the COR.

• Check that the number of falls is correct for the operating configuration of the crane. If not, select
correct configuration by pressing the ‘AUX’ and ‘FALLS’ buttons simultaneously.

• Verify that the correct 'Crane curve' is displayed. If not, select correct crane curve by pressing the
‘CURVE’ button.

3.2 Information presented on the Mipeg 2000 display

Standard Layout

The standard layout of the driver's display is shown in Figure 3.2

The outer circular analogue scale shows percentage safe working load (%SWL).

The scale is divided into three parts, coloured:


• green - for the range 0 - 85/95% SWL,
• yellow - for the range 85/95 - 110% SWL, and
• red - for the range >110% SWL.

The top Window shows the Hook Load.


• This load will vary slightly as the amount of rope paid out varies. It also varies depending on
how the load is lifted; the smoother the lift the less the resultant fluctuation.

The left Window displays the Crane curve selected. See Appendix I for details

The right Window shows the Hook Radius.

The lower Window shows the Safe Working Load that is related to:
• the operating configuration of the crane
• crane curve selected
• the radius of operation.

Alternative Information

When the AUX button is pressed, these windows will display alternative information:

Window Information Presented with AUX button depressed

Top Calendar date expressed as day/month/year, e.g.'24:08:99'

Left Extent to which the capacity of the Crane Operation Recorder (COR) is full
of information expressed as a percentage, e.g. '45'.

Right Number of hoist falls registered in MIPEG, e.g. ' 2 '.

Lower Time on a 24 hours clock, e.g. '11.27'.

ALARM

The visual and audible alarms warn of approaching danger. The WARNING (Yellow) light on Drivers
Display will flash and the buzzer inside the computer cabinet will sound when the load raised
reaches the warning limit at boom radius, crane curve and operating configuration of the crane. This
means that although a load may have been lifted at a given radius the alarm may come on as the
crane is boomed out beyond that radius and the crane capacity reduces.

To acknowledge an alarm, press the ACK button; the WARNING light will remain constantly lit until
the overload situation has decreased below the warning threshold.

The ALARM (Red) light on Drivers Display will flash when the load raised reaches the alarm. When
the ACK button is pressed; the ALARM light will remain constantly lit until the overload situation has
decreased below the alarm threshold and the WARNING light will remain constantly lit until the
overload situation has decreased below the warning threshold.

Aanderaa Data Instruments Document W-130 H00 246, Date 17.11.2021, Page 11 of 59
3.3 Error handling

If a detectable error occurs the MIPEG 2000 clears the operators display, and blinks an error
message 'ERxx' in top window; "xx" is two digits identifying the error. Operator should press 'ACK’ on
the Display Unit that then resets MIPEG. If it was a spurious error, satisfactory operation will
continue, otherwise call for maintenance.

See Appendix A for Mipeg 2000 error messages. The two digit error codes have an error explanation
with fault sources and references.

3.4 Reduced system operation

MIPEG equipment may be set temporarily in "reduced system operation" by maintenance


personnel, when sensor(s) are not operable. Pressing 'ACK' will clear out messages.

• Main hoist sensor out of operation shows 'NOT MAIN' in top and lower windows
• Whip hoist sensor out of operation shows 'NOT WHIP' in top and lower windows
• Boom hoist sensor out of operation shows 'NOT MOME' in top and lower windows
• Radius sensor (Inclinometer) out of operation shows 'NOT INCL' in top and lower windows

If load hoist sensor is out of operation radius and SWL will still be valid and if boom radius sensor out
of operation hook load will still be valid.

3.5 Tare Function

The zero setting of the hook load may vary due to length of rope payed out or weight of the slings in
use. A tare function has been implemented in the Mipeg 2000 to set the hook load read-out to zero,
prior to lifting operations.

The load read-out may be 'tared' by pressing the 'FALLS' button once. The tare function will not
change the zero frequency in the system. Another push on this button will deactivate the tare
function. The tare function will only work below +/- 500 kgs.

3.6 Information presented on the Mipeg RSI display

The Mipeg RSI, Digital Display is a microprocessor controlled unit located in the drivers cabin.
Information is presented by use of a 20 characters x 4 lines liquid crystal display. The unit also
incorporates four push buttons. Figure 3.2. shows the standard layout of the RSI display.

Figure 3.2: Mipeg RSI Display

Information presented on the display:

DISPLAY FUNCTION

ALARMS

If the hook is near the Anti-2 or Rope end position or the Rope speed exceeds the set limit, the following
will be presented in the top line of the RSI display:
Alarm: Anti Two Hook at Anti-2 position
Alarm: Rope End Hook at Rope End
Alarm: Rope Spd Rope speed exceeding the set limit

If the power has been off the system, the following will be displayed in the top line of the RSI display:
!! Power Loss
The system can not read the counts from the proximity switches when the power is off. The system could
have lost the position of the rope and a reset the Anti-2 position is therefore required.

Aanderaa Data Instruments Document W-130 H00 246, Date 17.11.2021, Page 13 of 59
3.7 Mipeg RSI – Offline Mode

The Mipeg RSI display is also used to set up and calibrate the RSI system. Press the TEST button
and then the ACK button within two seconds to obtain the offline function. The four push buttons are
then used according to the text on the display. Figure 3.3. shows the layout of the display unit in
offline mode.

Figure 3.3: Mipeg RSI Display-offline

Several crane parameters are required to initiate the system. The parameters are adjusted using
the FALLS button (increment value) or RESET LENGTH button (decrement value). Keeping the
FALLS or RESET buttons depressed gives increasing stepping (+/-10). Press ACK when the
required value is displayed and the next parameter will follow.

The following crane parameters has to be set: number of counts, diameter of drum, rope diameter,
number of turns on the drum, rope speed, anti-two band, rope end setting and if necessary the load
hoist line’s offset from the boom pin.

The set up has to be carried out in two operations, one for main line and one for whip line. The
system will be set up according to the line selected prior to going offline.

The computer will store all calibration data in its memory. The program is permanently stored on
integrated circuits. No program or memory contents are lost due to power loss.

Operating Instructions for Portable Terminal Unit (PTU)

4.1 Introduction

Any Windows based Laptop Computers could be used as ‘Portable Terminal Unit’ (PTU).

The Laptop should be loaded with the PtuWin2 program that will enable certain functions for offline
operation of the MIPEG SLI system located in the crane cab and for computer or printer operation in
the control room. The installation file, PtuWin2_Install.exe is supplied on a CD.

Installation of the PtuWin2 program on your computer:

1. Insert the Mipeg CD in your CD drive.


2. Open the Windows Explorer or ‘My Computer’ and click on the Mipeg CD.
3. In the PtuWin directory, click on PtuWin2_Install.exe. This will start the installation program.
4. Click to accept the pre-selected settings to copy the PtuWin2 accompanying files to the proper
location on your hard drive.
5. When all files have been installed, click OK to restart the computer.

A folder called Program Files\PtuWin has been created on your hard disk. Use Windows
Explorer to open this directory. Create a shortcut to the program: PtuWin2.exe and copy the
shortcut to the Windows desktop.

A folder called \COR will also be created on the hard disk the first time you run the PtuWin2 program.
The COR files from the Mipeg will be saved in this folder.

4.1.1 Starting PtuWin2

To start the PtuWin2 program, click the PtuWin2 icon on the Windows desktop.
When you start the PtuWin2, the PTU program dialog box appears, as follows:

In the main dialog box one can select one of the different Mipeg types. The Mipeg type in operation is
marked with an active button. To change, click on the new button and restart the PtuWin2 program.

Com1 is used as the standard communication port. If required, this can be changed to Com2. See
paragraph 4.2.3.1. The PtuWin2 program also has to be restarted after a change of communication
port.

Aanderaa Data Instruments Document W-130 H00 246, Date 17.11.2021, Page 19 of 59
4.1.2 Security System

In order to avoid unauthorised use of the PTU, especially use that has influence on the safety of the
crane, a security system is implemented in the PtuWin2 program. This means that a person must
know certain codes to get the different functions performed.

The security system of the PtuWin2 is based on four security levels, numbered 1-4. Each of these
levels is given a certain code. The different functions are assigned to one of the security levels. The
more restriction required the higher level the function is given.

The Access Code for level 1 is: 111


The Access Code for level 2 is: 222
The Access Code for level 3 is: abc
The Access Code for level 4 is not available

The code for level no's 1-3 can be changed by a PTU function. See paragraph 4.2.3.4 for more
details. The code for level no. 4 cannot be changed by use of the PTU. This level is for special
system functions used by service engineers only.

When the operator has given the code for a certain level, the PTU will not ask for the code any more
for functions of this level or lower, until the PtuWin2 program is closed or a 'Mipeg disconnect' is
performed.

4.1.3 Real Time Clock (RTC)

The Mipeg Real Time Clock (RTC) is synchronised to the PC real time clock. The clock in the PC
must therefore first be set correctly prior to starting the PtuWin2 program.

The following steps are recommended for reading the Mipeg clock:

• If not connected, effect a Mipeg connection as described in paragraph 4.2.1.


• From the main dialog box, click the 'Read RTC' button.
• The system will now read and display the real time clock data from both the PTU and Mipeg.

The following steps are recommended for setting the Mipeg clock:

• If not connected, effect a Mipeg connection as described in paragraph 4.2.1.


• From the main dialog box, click the 'Set RTC' button.
• Enter the required Security Code and repeat the function.
• The system will now set the real time clock in the Mipeg system and display the real time clock
data from both the PTU and Mipeg.
• There could be 1-3 seconds difference in the data after a synchronisation.

4.1.4 Shortcuts

In addition to using the mouse to select functions, one can also use a few keys on the keyboard
directly:

C - Connect
D - Disconnect
Z - Go back to the previous window
X - Exit window

4.2 Crane Cab operations

The crane cab operations are also called off-line operations and are divided into five parts:

• PTU Configuration (4.2.3)


• Sensor calibration/check (4.2.4)
• Parameter readings/settings (4.2.5)
• COR operation (4.2.6)
• System operations (4.2.7)

The day-to-day operations are included in the three first parts.

Prior to any of these operations, one has to do a Mipeg connection operation as described in
paragraph 4.2.1. After the crane cab operations are finished, a 'MIPEG disconnection' has to be
performed as described in paragraph 4.2.2.

A complete crane cab operation will then consist of the following sub operations:

• MIPEG connection (4.2.1)


• PTU configuration (4.2.3) and/or
• Sensor calibration/check (4.2.4) and/or
• Parameter readings/settings (4.2.5) and/or
• COR operation (4.2.6) and/or
• System operations (4.2.7)
• MIPEG disconnection (4.2.2)

When security codes are requested, key in the security code. Ref. paragraph 4.1.2 for more details.

WARNING
Pay attention to the messages in the Status Window. Always wait until the computer has completed
the operation in progress. Failure to do so may cause a 'Run Time Error' and the computer will close
the PtuWin2 program. If the Mipeg is still 'Off-line', you have to reset or power-down the Mipeg to re-
start.

5.2.1 Clearing COR

Data describing events like lifts, overload alarms, system errors, calibration of sensors, etc., are
stored in the COR memory during crane operation. There is provided memory space for 5400 events
on this system. The percentage of memory used is displayed on the driver's display, see paragraph
3.1.

Before the memory is completely filled up with COR data, these must be transferred to the PTU and
then be printed out or treated in another way. If this is not done before the COR is 95% full, the
message 'COR full' will appear on the driver's display between lifts. If the COR gets 100% full, an
error message, `Er32', will appear, the horn will blow, and the boom out inhibit will be activated.

It is recommended that the COR full reading is done every week by the crane supervisor. The criteria
for doing a 'Clear COR' operation is set to a COR full reading of 75%. This value will vary and is
mainly determined by how much the crane is used.

The clearing of the COR is done in the following steps:


• Perform a 'Read COR data (all)' operation as described in paragraph 4.2.6.2
• Perform a 'Clear COR' operation as described in paragraph 4.2.6.3.
• When back in the control room, perform a COR report print-out operation as described in
paragraph 4.2.6.4

5.2.2 Calibration of Sensors

The sensors of Mipeg 2000 are carefully checked during installation and their initial calibration
constants are semi-permanently kept in the Mipeg 2000 nonvolatile memory. Their output might vary
within certain limits due to temperature drift, ageing and changes in environmental conditions. If the
variation is too large, malfunction may occur, and a calibration must be performed.

The zero point drift of the load hoist sensor(s), i.e. the deviation from zero on the display reading with
empty hook is considered to be the most important factor to monitor. It must be kept in mind that the
zero point for this sensor(s) has been defined at 45 degrees boom angle and hook at deck level.
Deviation from zero in a no load condition might be caused by different length of hoisting rope payed
out.

The calibration constants could be set up in two different ways:


1. Normally one would use calibrated test loads or dynamometers for the force sensors and crane
radius marks on the deck for the inclinometer. The MIPEG will read the frequency from the
sensor, while the corresponding quantity (Value), i.e. weight or angle, is entered using the PTU
keyboard. This PTU function is described in paragraph 4.2.4.2 ‘Recalibration of Sensors’. For
details on how to calibrate the different sensor types see paragraph 5.2.2.1 – 5.2.2.3.

2. It is also possible to enter both the frequency and the corresponding quantity (Value), using the
PTU keyboard. This method is used to enter old calibration constants; giving calibration values to
MIPEG which already are recorded in the calibration protocol, Appendix F. This is described in
paragraph 4.2.4.3 ‘Set Calibration Data’.

A compensation for a possible variation caused by an unlinear load sensor arrangement is included in
the MIPEG system (Cal.point 2). Point 2 calibration is done the same way as point 0 and 1. If the
compensation is not required, point 2 should be set to zero.

Cal.point 0: Empty hook / No load


Cal.point 1: 100% load
Cal.point 2: 40-60% of full load

The calibration protocol given in Appendix F should be followed whenever possible. Ensure that the
calibration points of the boom angle sensor are checked, and if necessary, calibrated before any other
sensor is calibrated.

Aanderaa Data Instruments Document W-130 H00 246, Date 17.11.2021, Page 38 of 59
5.2.2.1 Calibration of Boom Angle Sensor

Calibration of the boom angle sensor is recommended if the deviation between the real and the
indicated crane radius is greater than one metre.

It is recommended that two permanent calibration points are used, one at minimum radius using the
boom's end stop, the other point at approximately 30 degrees boom angle, i.e. 87% of maximum
radius. The two points must be marked on the deck as radius in metre.

As Mipeg 2000 always measures boom angle above horizontal, a calibration point at maximum
working radius is not recommended as a small inaccuracy in the radius can cause a significant
inaccuracy in the angle reading. This is because changes in boom angle in the range 0 to 20 degrees
will give a small change in radius of approximately 7%. Radius/angle relationships for calibration
purposes are given in Appendix G.

The calibration procedure for the boom angle sensor is given as follows:

• Boom out to the outer radius mark on the deck.


• With the hook on this mark, do a calibration of point zero as described in paragraph 4.2.4.2,
function Calibrate Sensors’.
• Type in the boom angle according to the table in Appendix G, or according to earlier recorded
data in the calibration protocol.
• Boom in to the inner radius mark on the deck.
• With the hook on this mark, do a calibration of point one similar to point zero.
• Set MIPEG in on-line state and check the two calibration points.
• If not ok, go back to point a) and/or d) and make adjustments of point zero and/or point one.
• If ok, go off-line and read back the new calibration data, see paragraph 4.2.3.1, point c).
• Make a record in the calibration protocol.

5.2.2.2 Calibration of Load Hoist Sensors

Calibration of the load hoist sensor(s) is recommended if the hook load reading in a no load condition,
i.e. boom angle at 45 degrees and hook at deck level, is outside the following limits:

Single Fall: Greater than 1 Tonne or less than -1 Tonne


Plural Falls: Greater than 2 Tonnes or less than -2 Tonnes

Calibration requires calibrated test loads or a calibrated dynamometer to measure the test loads.
Recommended sizes of the test loads are given in Appendix E.

The calibration procedure for the load hoist sensor(s) is as follows:

• Boom in/out to the radius that gives a boom angle of 45 degrees, see Appendix G.
• Lower the empty hook to just above deck level.
• Do a calibration of point zero as described in paragraph 4.2.4.2, function 'Calibrate Sensors'.
• Type in zero as hook load.
• Put on the test load and hoist it just above the deck level.
• Do a calibration of point one similar to point zero.
• Set MIPEG in on-line state and check the two calibration points.

Test with approximately 50% of SWL and verify if the Mipeg readout is acceptable. If not, a
third calibration point could be activated:

• Do a calibration of point two as above.


• Repeat the load test.

If the calibration is acceptable without point 2, the frequency and value for point 2 should be set to
zero.

Aanderaa Data Instruments Document W-130 H00 246, Date 17.11.2021, Page 39 of 59
5.2.2.3 Calibration of Pulley Compensation

The weight of the pulley on the load hoist sensors could cause a varying output from the load sensors
as the boom angle varies. A compensation for this is implemented on MIPEG.

The parameters for this compensation are stored as calibration parameters according to the following
table.

HOIST LINE CALIBRATION POINT PARAMETER

Main 0 Weight parameter


Angle for maximum load value
Whip 1 Weight parameter
Angle for maximum load value

The checking and calibration of the pulley compensation is done as follows:

• Select Main hoist line first and repeat for Whip hoist line if applicable.
• With the boom at maximum radius, position the empty hook just above the deck level. Keep
this hoisting line position during the rest of the test.
• Boom in and note the displayed hook load values for every 5 metre from maximum to
minimum radius.
• Check the variations of the hook load values. If the variation exceeds 0.5 tonne for whip line
and one tonne for main line, a calibration as described above is required.
• Read out the pulley compensation parameter values as described in paragraph 4.2.4,
according to the table given above. Adjust the weight parameter value according to the
following formula: Adjustment = (Variation / No. of falls) / (1 - cos(A))
where: A : Boom angle difference for variation readout

If the hook load value is greatest near the maximum angle, see parameter values readout, the
weight parameter shall be increased. In the opposite case, it shall be decreased.

5.2.2.4 Recalibration of Moment Sensor (Not in use)

The overturning moment is calculated from the force measured by the moment sensor. This sensor is
sensitive to variations in offlead angles. The moment will typically be non zero even when a no load situation
exists due to moment caused by the dead weight of the boom, hooks and hoisting ropes.

Recalibration of the moment sensor is recommended if the indicated overturning moment deviates more than
100 tonne*metres from the calculated one.

The moment is not normally indicated on the driver's display, but can be displayed temporarily by using the
PTU function described in paragraph 4.2.5.8.

The recalibration of the moment sensor requires a great test load, and it is therefore normally done in a plural
falls configuration. Required test loads are given in Appendix E, and tables of overturning moments/sensor
forces are given in Appendix G/H.

Aanderaa Data Instruments Document W-130 H00 246, Date 17.11.2021, Page 40 of 59
The recalibration of the moment sensor is performed as follows:

a) Boom in/out to the radius given in Appendix G/H.


b) Lower the empty hook to just above deck level.
c) Do a calibration of point zero as described in paragraph 4.2.4.2, function 'Calibrate Sensors'. Type in
moment value according to table in Appendix H.
d) Put on the test load as given in Appendix E, and hoist it just above the ground.
e) Do a calibration of point one similar to point zero.
f) Set MIPEG in on-line state and check the two calibration points.
g) If not OK, go back to point a) and do a new recalibration.
h) If OK, go off-line and read back the new calibration point, see paragraph 4.2.4.1, point c). Be aware of
that it is the sensor force and not the overturning moment that is read back as value.
i) Make a record in the recalibration protocol.

When doing recalibration of the moment sensor, it is important to be aware of what to give as values:

FUNCTION VALUE
Set in Sensor Calibration Data Sensor force
Calibrate Sensors Moment
Read Sensor Calibration Data Sensor force

5.2.3 Checking of Crane Operation Inhibit Relays

Checking of the crane operation inhibit relays are recommended to be performed by the crane
supervisor every third month.

All relays can be checked by means of the PTU function described in paragraph 4.2.5.7. Make access
to each of the implemented signals, switch them on/off, and observe that the correct action is
obtained.

To test the overload outputs, one needs a hook load sufficient to create an overload condition. In
order to use a smallest possible load, one can set MIPEG in the highest sea condition. Pick a load
size according to the crane curves. With this load available, the check is done in the following steps:

• Lift the load off the ground.


• While watching the %SWL readings on the driver's display, boom out until it reaches the warning
limit. The yellow light should be activated. Boom out until it reaches the alarm limit. The red light
and the horn should now be activated.
• Boom in and put the load down.

In addition to this, the output relays may be tested as follows:

MIPEG Nonoperational
Turn MIPEG power off. The horn and overload relays should be activated.

MIPEG Error
Simulate an error condition on MIPEG. The horn and overload relays should now be activated.

Aanderaa Data Instruments Document W-130 H00 246, Date 17.11.2021, Page 41 of 59
5.2.4 Checking Crane Curves

The tables of safe working loads (SWL) are permanently stored in the Mipeg 2000 memory and are
called crane curves. These are thoroughly tested during the commissioning of the crane. One should
therefore not expect any problems with the crane curves during operation, but it is recommended that
the crane supervisor checks the crane curves installed in Mipeg 2000 against the load- radius tables
available in the cranecab twice a year.

The crane curve checking is done in the following steps:

• With no load in the hook, hoist the boom to top position.


• Set number of falls to the lowest implemented value.
• Set curve to the lowest implemented value.
• While reading radius and SWL from driver's display and comparing the readings with the
load-radius tables, lower the boom to maximum radius.
• Change the curve to next lowest value and perform point d) while hoisting the boom to top
position.
• Go through all crane curves for this number of falls, then change to next number of falls and go
through all curves, and so on until all combinations are checked.
• If possibilities for more boom lengths are implemented, change to next boom length, and repeat.
• After the checking of the crane curves is finished, set the parameter values for boom length,
number of falls and curve back to the correct values.

5.2.5 COR Battery Replacement

The COR battery is located on the Master II card in the Computer Cabinet and must be unsoldered to
be replaced. The battery is available as spare part, ref. Appendix B.

Battery type: Tadiran TL-2150 , size 1/2 AA


Nom. voltage: 3.6 V
Nom. current: 10 microamps (when Mipeg is unpowered)

When the battery voltage goes below 3.0 V, there will be a warning, Error 10, on the display. Press
the ACK button to continue operation. Transfer the COR data to the PTU and then replace the battery.
If the 24Vdc power supply to the Mipeg system is lost with a low COR back-up battery, the COR data
could be lost. Ref. Section 1, Safety Notes and Appendix A, Mipeg 2000 Error Messages.

When the COR battery has been replaced, the Mipeg system will restart with a default clock
(01.01.YY), but the contents of the COR will be corrupted. Connect the PTU, set Mipeg clock and
carry out a ‘Reset all Counters’ under the ‘Mipeg System Page’.

5.3 Unscheduled Maintenance

5.3.1 Built In Test Equipment.

The computer will start to execute once the logic supply (5V) reaches it's working level after power is
turned on to the system.

The first part of the computer program is called the Startup BITE (=Built In Test Equipment). This part
can commence execution as long as the "inner kernel" is functioning properly. The "inner kernel"
comprises the microprocessor with it's crystal and the first program circuit and requires only the logic
supply present to fulfill it's first task, the Startup BITE. The "inner kernel" is isolated from the rest of
the card by buffers.

The Startup BITE has the following facilities:

• Check bus which interconnects the PCBs.


• Check if upper program part is accessible.
• Check timer circuits if operating correctly.

Start by replacing the Master II card. If all checks are passed the full system software is initialised and
starts the normal execution.

Different checks are continuously performed during normal system execution:

• Sensor data limit checks


• Processing data evaluation
• Processing time control ("watch dog" function)
• RTC (Real Time Clock) verification
• COR data verification
• Serial data communication checks
• Evaluation of operator interference by the use of the PTU
• Evaluation of the crane's parameter set
• Evaluation of the program circuits (checksum verification)

These tasks are all contained in the software package called the Online BIT-functions. If any of the
checks fail this will lead to an immediate shut down of the system by use of the normal error exit and
indication, see paragraph 5.3.2.

The third software part containing test functions is the Offline BITE package. These functions all
operate in conjunction with the operator communication through the PTU and are described in
paragraph 4.2.5.

5.3.2 Faults Indicated on Driver's Display

Fault recognised by the Mipeg 2000 system during run-time, will be indicated on the driver's display
by a flashing light in the WARNING and ALARM lamps and an error code in the upper window. The
horn will blow for 10 seconds and overload alarm will be activated.

When the crane driver acknowledges the fault, the fault indications on the driver's display will
disappear and the overload function will be deactivated. If, however, the fault is of a permanent
nature, the same indications will appear over again.

Any fault alarm given will be recorded in the COR together with the information of the driver's
acknowledgement or not. The fault may of course be located in the computer (and be of a major kind,
ref. paragraph 5.3.1 above) or the cabling to the display may be damaged both of which will display a
normal error indication.

The error code will assist the maintenance engineer in locating the fault. Appendix A gives a list of
error codes with the probable fault source(s). When fault tracing, reference should be made into the
technical description where further details may found.

5.3.3 Faults Not Indicated on Driver's Display

Prior to faultfinding on this level, the Mipeg 2000 system should be given a power reset by turning
power off/on. These faults normally fall into the following categories:

FAULT FAULT SOURCES

"Dead system", Trace the input power through fuses on TR1. If 24 Vdc

6.2 Driver's Display Unit

6.2.1 Introduction

The Mipeg 2000 Driver's Display is a microprocessor controlled display designed for use in harsh
environment.

Information is presented by four LCDs and by an analogue needle. All LCDs and the display facia are
backlit by LEDs. The unit incorporates two alarm indicators (LEDs). Information to be visualised on
the display is transmitted from the computer on a serial interface line.

The Display Unit consists of three major parts all housed in an enclosure supplied with a cable
entry through a gland and terminal row:

• A printed circuit board including the front plate and electronic components of the display.
• A push-button panel mounted on the front plate. This panel consists of five push-buttons.
• A connector for the PTU connection mounted on the bottom plate of the enclosure.

The back light can be adjusted if one keep the AUX button pressed and use the TEST button to
change the light intensity. Release the buttons between each setting.

The display is mounted on a bracket fitting which enables the unit to be tilted in both the vertical and
horizontal planes. ‘Silica Gel’ should be included inside the enclosure to prevent condensation of
water on the display front glass.

6.3 Sensors

MIPEG 2000 sensors are used to measure the following:

• Loads in the hoisting line(s)


• Overturning moment relative to the slewing ring
• Boom inclination relatively to horizontal plane

A technical description of each of the sensors is given in the following paragraphs.

6.3.1 Load Hoist Sensor

The load hoist primary sensor(s) is of S-band type. This primary sensor is MIG-welded to a
suspension part that also carries a pulley for the load sensing. The sensor measures the material
stress in the suspension part, which is proportional to the line load.

The output from the sensor is a frequency signal in the range 350-450 Hz. The resolution is typically
5Hz/tonne for a one fall configuration. The sensor has a two wire power/signal connection and is not
damaged by short or open circuits. The primary sensor may be overloaded 5-10 times the nominal
working range. This is far above the yield strength of the material. The primary sensor is temperature
compensated. The primary sensor is sealed hermetically to SEN431614-k (MIL-STD-883A).

The sensor cover is sealed to protection index IP67. The sensor has been examined against the
requirements of the CENELEC standards EN50 014 and EN50 018 for flameproof enclosures and has
been approved for use in hazardous areas and to bear the marking EEx d IIB T6. The sensor cover
mounted on the sensor with four socket screws. These are tightened with a torque wrench to a torque
of 5 Nm. The flame gap area must be filled with an 'EExd' approved protection matter/grease, e.g. of
mark PBC.

To verify correct/undamaged cabling and sensor, a resistance measurement from the terminal row in
the computer cabinet can be done. Between disconnected cores, the resistance shall be app-
roximately 6 ohms (3 ohms in sensor plus cable). There shall be open circuits between cores and
drain, and between drain and chassis earth.

Pin sensors with temperature sensor included have an extra wire for the temperature resistor. The S-
sensor and the temperature sensor use a common ground wire. The resistance in the temperature
sensor shall be approximately 2200 ohms.

The load hoist sensor(s) has to be replaced as a complete unit.

6.3.2 Boom Angle Sensor

The Boom Angle Sensor is an inclinometer mounted in an EX d enclosure at the boom foot. The
inclinometer gives a voltage output in proportion to the boom angle (BAS+). Voltage supply to the unit
is 12Vdc (BAR+). The Inclinometer has a typical resolution of 30-35 mV/degree boom angle. The
sensor is not damaged by shorts or open circuits.

The unit is manually set to give approximately 4 Volt dc at zero degree boom angle if the unit is
installed facing towards the left hand side of the crane. At minimum radius the voltage will then be
approximately 7 Volts.

If the unit is installed facing towards the right hand side of the crane, it should manually be set to give
approximately 7 Vdc at zero degree boom angle. At minimum radius the voltage would then be
approximately 4 Volts. The output from the sensor can be read by means of a PTU function as
described in Section 4.

Aanderaa Data Instruments Document W-130 H00 246, Date 17.11.2021, Page 48 of 59
6.3.3 Boom Hoist Sensor (Moment)

The moment sensor is positioned in the boom hoist arrangement. It measures the stresses in the
boom hoisting lines. The overturning moment is calculated by multiplying the measured boom hoist
force with a proportionality factor. This factor is a function of the boom angle, and in MIPEG 2000 this
factor is combined in the moment curves.

The moment primary sensor is of S-band type. The suspension part is different from the one used in
the load hoist sensor, but the description given there applies. The resolution of the moment sensor is
typically 0.1-0.2 Hz/tonne*metre.

The moment sensor has to be replaced as a complete unit.

6.4 Mipeg RSI Digital Display

The Mipeg RSI Display is a microprocessor controlled unit located in the drivers cabin. Information is
presented by use of a 20 characters x 4 lines liquid crystal display. There are four push buttons
available on the display front.

The unit has a four two wire power/signal connection. Nominal voltage: 24 Vdc.

The display unit is sealed to IP54 and certified Ex nC IIC T4 by NEMKO, approval no. Ex 94Y025.

6.3 Speed Sensors

The speed sensor(s) are used to measure the speed and direction of the hoist rope. The encoder
mounted on the main hoist drum. The encoder(s) are connected into the system on the SIP2 card,
connector J21. To change the rope direction, change over no. 1 & 2 for the main line and no. 3 & 4 for
the whip line.

The signal resolution is 100 pulses / revolution. The shaft encoders are sealed to protection index IP65.
Operating temperature: -10 / +40 °C . Weight approx. 1.4 kg.

APPENDIX H: TABULATED OVERTURNING MOMENT


Removed Moment-sensor on NSP East crane & NCP South crane.
There are no moment sensors included in these systems. The moment will be calculated as load x radius
and added to the contribution from the dead weight of the boom. The calculated moment values for each lift
will be recorded in the COR memory.

IDENTIFICATION of CRANE DRIVERS


An ID code could be used to identify the crane drivers. Each crane driver should have an ID key and his
own dedicated four digit code.

When the crane driver uses the ID key on the computer cabinet, he will be asked to key in an 'ID code' on
the RSI display. Follow the instructions on the RSI display. The ID code and time will be recorded in the
COR memory. The crane driver should remove the ID key when he is leaving the crane. If the ID key is
not used, the default value (0000) will be recorded in the COR.
