Method and apparatus for providing diagnostics of a lifting magnet system

摘要

An apparatus (10) for providing diagnostics of a work device includes an electric crane (12) including an operator cabin (16) and a derrick (18) that supports a lifting magnet (14); a diagnostic panel (50) disposed proximate the operator cabin (16); a device (32) that provides one or more operating parameters (36a, 36b) associated with an operation of the electric crane (12); and a logic controller (28) in communication with the device (32) and diagnostic panel (50). The logic controller (28) receives the one or more operating parameter (36a, 36b). The diagnostic panel (50) provides one or more quantifiable diagnostics of the electric crane (12) and/or magnet (14) according to the one or more operating parameters (36a, 36b) received by the PLC (28). A method is also disclosed.
