Abstract

See full text

The disclosure involves a drive system having a control section, an adjustable frequency drive unit coupled to the control section, and first and second drive motors. The drive system is used with a material handling machine such as a light-duty crane on which any two of the hoist, bridge and trolley drives are rarely used simultaneously and in any event need not be used simultaneously. The drive unit is a scalar or flux vector (feedback-type) inverter and is the sole drive unit providing electrical power to the drive motors. Preferred control is by a pendant station or radio transmitter. Operating a pushbutton on the pendant station (or a paddle-like stick control on the transmitter) for a particular drive motor 'locks out' operation of the other motors. Motors are operated on a first-come, first-served basis.
