2 General

PALDIAG is the next generation tool for configuration and diagnosis for PALFINGER products.

It is a completely new development and it is based on newest software technologies.

With version 2019.00 PALDIAG will support crane control system PALTRONIC 40 as well as

RRC Scanreco P2 CAN open (P2CO). From that date, access to PALTRONIC 40 and

Scanreco P2CO, by using PALDIAG.NET, is not possible anymore.

All other crane control systems will be supported by PALDIAG step by step. Until

implementation, operation is carried out with PALDIAG.NET.

The crane control system PALTRONIC 50 will still be operated in the future with

PALDIAG.NET.

10 Simulation

Simulation files can be used for test purposes. This makes operation of PALDIAG functions

possible without a connection to a “real” controller.

Even loading real files as simulation, without connection to a controller, is possible. This will

be helpful on error diagnostics.

The simulation file tabs contain a simulation icon (triangle arrow, play button) and the filename.

Crane and simulation files


Simulation files cannot be loaded into a real controller!

They can be used for test purposes.
