Communication between crane and computer can be ensured by:
- Communication cable RS232
- Radio modem GIGA
- Blue-tooth
- GSM modem
Communication cable RS 232:
- serves for straight connection the GIGAtronic or GIGAmatic to a PC
- communication distance depends on the cable length; usually we deliver cables with length of 10 m
Radio modem GIGA:
- serves for communication between the crane and the PC - distance up to 1 km (in case of direct visibility of antennas)
- data which were obtained by means of the modem could be used for example as ground for inspection and revision reports, for service purposes, etc.
- one USB-MASTER radio modem installed on a PC could communicate with up to 10 cranes equipped with COM-SLAVE radio modems
- it is also possible to use cyclic loading the data to GIGAsoft, which can be later used for evaluation of the cranes utilization
- in case of connection with a control element for sending and taring the weight, the modems are used for creation of weight-registering reports with a summary archive in GIGAsoft
