FlexiMet Tower Crane, PLC Integrated & Display

FlexiMet Tower Crane, PLC Integrated & Display Description

The FlexiMet Tower Crane, PLC Integrated & Display System connects the sensor to a local programmable WS-15A display that can operate either an audible, visual or dual alarm when user defined parameters have been met. The wind speed alarm is configurable as either a high or a low alarm and to avoid false alarm events, there are adjustable hold off and hold on times. The 40 character easy to read display shows wind speed in a choice of measurement units and wind direction in degrees, as a wind arrow and as cardinal points.

In addition, a spur sends data directly from the Gill WindSonic 3 (WS3) sensor to the cranes PLC system in analogue format using RS485 duct grade cable.

The WS-15A display is housed in an IP65 rated enclosure making it ideal for the harsh construction site environment. The system delivers wind measurements to the appropriate industry standards including IEC-61400 as well as a full list of other weather parameters if required.
