Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2636634A1] The method involves supplying measured values by a measuring device at a crane for determining a position of a load lifting device. The position of the load lifting device is calculated based on the measured values of the measuring device and data representing a stiffness of the crane, where the data comprises a bend of a crane tower (4) or a boom (5), cable sags (6, 7) or a cable elongation of a hoisting cable or suspension of a supporting device (2). Crane components are modulated in a crane model by elastic elements, resilient or damping elements or extensible elements. The supporting device is designed as a support arm or a support cylinder. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a crane controller (2) a crane (3) a data carrier comprising a set of instructions for executing a method for controlling and/or data acquisition of a crane.
