AETOS Range

Using local controllers (pickles) in combination with
Low Voltage controlled hoists.
The Low Voltage version of the Prolyft Aetos range of
controllers is NOT constantly powering the hoists. Power
is only switched to the hoists when the UP or DOWN
button is pressed.
This is done to avoid the use of local 1-way controllers
(the so called pickles) without an Emergency stop button.
Often these 1-way controllers are inserted in the control
line to create a local control at the hoist.
The use of any control system without an Emergency stop
function within reach of the operator is not allowed.
Wiring of the output connector:
Controllers for operating Direct Control hoists have the
following pin setting:
Pin 01: Hoist 1, L1
Pin 02: Hoist 1, L2
Pin 03: Hoist 1, L3
Pin 04: Hoist 1, Ground
Pin 05: Hoist 2, L1

The THUJA network connection:
The link-in and link-out connectors are THUJA data
network connectors, used to link controllers together or
connect them to remote control panels.
The THUJA network is based on a data-bus system
combining control data, power and emergency stop.
The THUJA network uses standard CAT5 cable in
combination with 7pin XLR connectors.
Wiring of the THUJA network connector:
The link-in or data-in connector is a Female connector.
The link-out or data-out is a Male connector.
Pin 1: Orange, 24V (link-in), nc (link-out)
Pin 2: White/Orange, Ground
Pin 3: Blue E-stop
Pin 4: Green RX2+ (link-in), TX1+ (link-out)
Pin 5: White/Green RX2- (link-in), TX1- (link-out)
Pin 6: Brown TX2+ (link-in), RX1+ (link-out)
Pin 7: White/Brown TX2- (link-in), RX1- (link-out)
Shield: White/Blue Ground
WARNING: wrong wiring of the THUJA network connector
might lead to defects.
WARNING: Since the ground of the network is connected
to the safety ground of the power supply a so called
“ground loop” can be created. Ground loops can affect the
data signal.
NEVER solve a ground loop problem by removing the
controller from the safety ground of the power supply.

6. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Phase order detection
The controller detects automatically the order of the
incoming phases. Independent of the order of the
incoming phases the order of the phases on the output
are always clockwise for UP and anti-clockwise for
DOWN.
Circuit breakers
The circuit breakers on the rear panel are not to be used
as power switches. The status of the circuit breakers can
be read from the front panel LED indicators (see LED
indicators)
Each circuit breaker is connected to a 4-channel output/
switch module.
Selecting hoists
In order to select a hoist or a group of hoists press and
hold de SELECT button and press each HOIST
CHANNEL you want to add to the selection. Pressing the
HOIST CHANNEL for the second time will deselect the
hoist.
The LED next to each hoist channel button indicates the
selection of the hoist.
The selection can be done over all linked controllers.
Clearing the selection
Pressing the DESELECT button will deselect all selected
hoists.
Starting a movement
After creating a selection (or group) of hoists the group
can be moved up by pressing the UP button, or moved
down by moving the DOWN button.
If controllers are linked the UP and DOWN button on the
first controller will act like a MASTER UP or MASTER
DOWN.
BUMP function
When a group of hoists is selected, individual hoists out of
the group can be selected for adjustment (for example to
raise the middle hoist on a span lifted with 3 hoists).
Press and hold the HOIST CHANNEL button of the hoist
you want to adjust. The CHANNEL LED’s of the other
hoists out of the selection will switch off to indicate that
only the hoist from which the HOIST CHANNEL button is
pressed and hold is still active. Now, simultaneously,
press the UP or DOWN button to adjust the hoist. After
releasing the HOIST CHANNEL button to selection will
jump back in to the selected group.
The BUMP function does not work over linked controllers
in a Master/slave situation (will be changed in a future
software version)
If a remote control is used the BUMP function works on all
controllers connected to the remote.
Locking the frontpanel
The frontpanel can be locked by pressing and holding
both the SELECT and DESELECT button for 5 seconds.
Unlocking can be done in the same way.
Light output of the LED’s
The light output of the LED’s is automatically adjusted to
the ambient light by the LIGHT SENSOR.
Status of the LED’s
The LED INDICATORS on the front panel will show the
status of the controller:
POWER
Off: No power connected to the controller
On: Status OK. Power is connected to the
controller
BREAKER TRIP
Off: Status OK: All phases detected on output/
switch module. No errors.
On: No or missing phases detected on output/
switch module
Blink 1/5 Communication timeout detected by CPU
Blink 2/5 Communication timeout detected by
output/switch module (bit 14)
Blink 3/5 Communication CRC fault detected by
output/switch module (bit 15)
Blink 4/5 Estop validation fault
Blink 5/5 Estop equivalent fault
OPERATIONAL
On Status OK. E-stop OK,
(equivalent. output = 0x8000)
Blink 1/4 Estop fault
(equivalent. output = 0xC001)
Blink 2/4 Estop fault
(equivalent. output = 0xC002)
Blink 3/4 Estop fault
(equivalent. output = 0xC003)
Blink 4/4 Contact feedback wait on output/switch
module
Off Else
E-stop equivalent errors are caused by a delay in one of
the two E-stop circuits. Again pressing and after a few
second releasing the E-stop button is often solving the
problem.
Emergency Stop
The emergency stop (E-stop) button must be pressed in
any unwanted or unexpected situation. The E-stop affects
all linked controllers.
When the E-stop button is released the controller checks
all contactors for there expected status. If a contactor has
a different status then expected the E-stop circuit will
detect a fault and will not release the E-stop although the
button is back to its “safe” position. The operational LED
will blink accordingly.

Controllers can be linked with a data link cable connected
from the link-out of controller 1 to the link-in of controller 2
etc. Maximum 10 controllers can be linked.
Controller 1 will act like a MASTER controller. The UP and
DOWN button on this controller will operate all selected
hoists on the linked controllers. Selecting and deselecting
must be done on every individual controller.
8. REMOTE CONTROL
Connecting the remote control
The remote control must be connected to the link-in
connector of the first controller. This controller will be
connected to the first channels on the remote control.
Any next controller linked to the first controller will be
connected to the next available channels on the remote.
Up to 24 channels.
Operating from the remote control
The remote control functions in exact the same way as
the frontpanels of the controllers.
The UP/DOWN/SELECT and DESELECT buttons on the
left and right side have exact the same functionality. It
makes it possible to make the remote left and right hand
operated.
When a remote is connected, the UP/DOWN buttons on
the controllers are disabled.
LED indication on remote control
Pressing any E-stop on a controller or a breaker trip on
one of the controllers will cause the LED’s of the affected
channels to blink.

9. REPLACING AN OUTPUT / SWITCH MODULE
Every controller is equipped with 1, 2 or 3 4-channel output
and switching modules. They can be either Low Voltage
Control or Direct Control modules.
Output/switch modules can be easily replaced for repair or
servicing. Turn off power before opening the controller.
When an output/switch module is replaced the new module
must be properly addressed with the dip-switches.
Addressing must be done before reconnecting the power
to the controller.
On each output / switch module there are 6 dip-switches.
-Dip-switch 1 thru 4 represent the binary address setting of the
module.
-Dip-switch 5 is to select DC or LV.
-Dip-switch 6 is the terminator switch.
Setting the address dip-switches:
With the front panel of the controller towards you the output /
switch module on the right is no. 1, representing channel 1-4.
Module 1 (channel 1-4)
Module 2 (channel 5-8)
Module 3 (channel 9-12)
Setting the other dip-switches
Dip-switch no 5 is set to “off” for a DC module and set to “on”
for a LV module.
Dip-switch no 6 is only set to “on” on the module at the end of
the flat-cable. Normally this is the module on the right hand
side. On all other modules dip-switch 6 must be set to “off”.
Only 1 module can have dip-switch 6 set to “on”.
10. CHANGING FROM 400V to 208/230V
The Aetos controllers are standard configured for a 3phase
400V power supply. The controllers can be adapted to accept
a power supply in the range of 208/230V.
In order to this adaptation it is only required to re-connect the
internal 24V power supply (named as 250U1 in the electrical
drawing) from Neutral and L1 to L2 and L1.
The controllers are suitable for both 50 and 60Hz frequencies.
It is advised to mark the controller on the outside at the mains
connector or the serial number sticker to show the new voltage
setting.
WARNING: Hoist running on 3x 208V will use the double
amount of current compared to hoists running on 3x 400V.
11. SPECIFICATIONS
The Prolyft Aetos controllers have the following general
specifications:
12. DIMENSIONS
All units are 19-inch cabinets
Depth from front to back is 38,6cm.
Handgrips on the front need 3cm.
Connectors on the back need 5cm minimum.
Height for 4way unit is 3HE
Height for 8 and 12 way unit is 4HE.
