Ultrasonic technology application for the safety assurance of the lifting operations at sea

Abstract EN

The purpose of this development is the system engineering that will track the cargo position lowering by the crane relatively the deck of the receiving ship.

Used in the development the ultrasonic sensors perform the main role for the assigned mission solution.

The functional scheme of the setup with the description of various cargo-carrying electric drives testing system control is presented.

General movements (rolling, pitching, heaving) of the ship as solid body is described.

The system comprising the Arduino microcontroller, ultrasonic sensors and ZigBEE technology wireless module is shown.

The configurations «point-to-point» is selected as the network topology.

The possibility of the XBee modules firmware (acting on the ZigBEE technology), with the XCTU software is presented.

The choice of the control system for the ultrasonic sensors as the alarm installation for
