8 Envelope Monitoring

PMERail Ultra is configured for Machine Envelope Control

(MEC) only. MEC will warn and prevent equipment motion in a

limit state. MEC is achieved by interacting with the machines

hydraulics, this allows motion to be cut to any section of equip-

ment that has reached a restriction but allow other sections to

operate unhindered unless they too reach the set restriction, see section 8.4 for moni-

tored points on the machine. PMERail is NOT aware of any attachment fitted, therefore

make sure is in its least favourable position when setting any limit.

8.1 PMERail Ultra Height Limitation

PMERail Ultra complies with RIS-1530-PLT Issue 4 height limiting requirements. There-

fore a default height limit of 3.5m will activate automatically on start up if the bogies are

deployed or on their first deployment. Any height limit previously set will be replaced.

Care should be taken to test that the limit is set correctly. Observe the operational limita-

tions given in section 4.
