LDI Rigging Preview

  • The following rigging products were shown at LDI 2016.

    2017 product release dates are pending for all.

     

    Foundation Server System

    The Foundation Server System offloads the management of hoist communication and safety management onto a centralized control system. This enables the expansion of hardware control options for any ETC rigging system.

    • There are three components to a Foundation Server System: Foundation Server, Foundation Safety Node, Foundation MCX
    • Runs the same software as Foundation with additional code to handle server configurations
    • Scalable equipment list: up to two Foundation controllers (multiple plug-in points), two Foundation Handheld Remotes (multiple plug-in points), two Foundation Clients (PC-based RVI), twelve (or more) external E-stops, and 192 hoists
    • Only one controller can be active at any given time. This is the same as the standard Foundation when used with a Foundation Handheld Remote.
    • Individually identifiable SIL-3 E-stops.

      • Up to eight ¼” wire rope lift lines routed out both ends of the hoist
      • 75’ of travel
      • Load cells, slack line detection, incremental positioning encoder
