PIAB CSM Crane Safety Monitor is an electronic control unit to be used in overload protection systems. The PIAB CSM evaluates and computes signals from force transducers and can be set for alarm at preset alarm limits. By installing the PIAB CSM, hazards for personnel and material are avoided. The PIAB CSM will also record the operation of the hoist. The PIAB CSM is designed both for indoor and outdoor operation in aggressive and demanding industrial environments.
