See E-Log 44 for details on North Aux Hoist failure.
A replacement VFD was ordered by Adam Newsome and installed by Tom Kauss.
Adam and Tom replaced the VFD in the South Aux hoist (which had been relocated to the North Aux hoist). The original braking resistor was used. No functionality changes to the system.
Both Aux hoists were tested: E/W travel, up/down travel. Each hoist is functioning correctly. E/W speeds were compared between the two hoists and found to be the same (~14 Hz for slow speed, ~95 Hz for fast speed).
The replacement job is complete and the issue outlined in E-Log 44 is resolved, although the original cause for failure has not been determined.
Current state of system as of Sept 9, 2020:
- The North Aux hoist is fully functioning (contains original VFD from South one)
- The South Aux hoist is fully functioning (contains newly replaced VFD with original braking resistor)
- The North Aux hoist limit switch flag has been temporarily bypassed to allow for crane work in the target hall (not a safety issue - extended bumpers are installed and the regular bridge limit switches are functioning normally... this is only to allow the bridge to run its full length of travel when the North Aux hoist is at its fully East position)
Next steps:
- Reinstall North Aux hoist limit switch flag (TBD when Target Hall installation work is done)
