Made by Scantrol – the AHC specialist!
Why We Made mTrack
Scantrol has a comprehensive track record in the delivery of AHC systems, and we have learned how this technology makes our customers more efficient.
Due to the complexity and high cost, AHC has mainly been available to those with large budgets, but we have set ourselves the goal of making AHC technology available to anyone who can benefit from it.
That's why we made mTrack! Our engineers call it the "Dream Controller."
Free Training and Support to all mTrack Customers
mTrack is a standardized controller, and with training from Scantrol, your team will be able to both design and support your AHC application without the need for assistance from expensive experts.
All mTrack Customers are offered:
• Free training for the design and support team.
• Free online assistance when you need it.
• Operator training.
Integrated MRU
mTrack has an internal MRU (Motion Reference Unit) and built-in tools that make installation and setup easy and straightforward.
Simplifies MRU Setup
mTrack will guide you to take the right geometry measurements for your application and make it easy to insert the correct measurements into mTrack.
Save Cost
There is no need for an expensive external MRU and you save money on hardware, installation, and setup.
Modern Technology
mTrack MRU is built on high precision sensor technology with long-term stability and no requirement for recalibration.
Pre-defined Apps for Winch, LARS, Crane and Cylinder
mTrack has pre-programmed applications that make it easy to set up and configure geometry and sensors. Choose the app that matches your winch, crane, LARS or cylinder and avoid using individually programmed solutions.
No programming – just configuration
Proven and reliable AHC control in widespread use on all seas.
Simultaneous control of up to 3 winches or cylinders.
Suitable for winches, cranes and cylinders with lifting capacity from 100 kg to 100 tons.
Integrate mTrack with your Own Control System or get the Complete Solution from Scantrol
It is easy to connect mTrack with your own control system and it is a straightforward job for your plc programmer to make the interface software.
The interface is standardized so that once you have made the plc software, you can use mTrack as an add-on to your own control system in those cases where you need AHC.
PLC Software Included
Scantrol provides software modules to handle Profinet communication that can be integrated into your plc program.
Profinet or Modbus
Use standard Profinet or Modbus/TCP to connect mTrack to your winch or crane control system.
Pre-defined AHC Apps Included
Pre-defined AHC Apps and standardized communication formats makes plc communication simple.
Test and Tune in your Factory or at the Dockside – No Tuning at Sea
Expensive sea trials and extensive testing and adjustments are no longer required to commission an AHC system.
mTrack has built-in tools to tune and verify the winch or crane's AHC performance at the test stand.
Auto Calibration
Automatic registration of the winch's speed characteristics and other parameters that are necessary for mTrack to control the winch with high precision and within safe limits.
Auto Calibration works for both electric and hydraulic winches and even a simple hydraulic winch can turn into a high precision AHC winch.
Dynatest
You can verify and document the winch or crane's AHC performance by running Dynatest with simulated vessel motion.
Dynatest will reveal any dynamic problems or timing issues so that it can be fixed at your location instead of at your customer's back deck.
No In-House Development Required
Take advantage of the extensive work our experienced R&D team has put in to make mTrack, the new standardized yet flexible Scantrol AHC controller that can be easily set up to suit your application.
Avoid pitfalls and get it right the first time – no trial and error.
No need for complex motion test facilities.
Full ownership to functionality and settings.
Off the shelf. Short time to market.
Free Design Assistance
We can help you specify the required AHC capacity depending on the area of use and provide you with guidance on the selection of hydraulic or electric drives.
If you need external help to design or upgrade a drive for AHC use, we can arrange contact via our network of partners with experience in designing efficient and reliable AHC solutions.
Do not Over-Specify
Many AHC winches have the capacity to do much more than your customer needs.
To win the competition, it is wise to offer what is good enough for the application, and we can give recommendations based on application and operating conditions.
Reuse Your Winch
It may be easier than you think to upgrade an existing winch to AHC, We can help you find out if your winch is suitable for upgrading.
AHC Toolbox
Scantrol AHC Toolbox has tools that can help you in the design phase and verify the design of your electric or hydraulic AHC drive.
