In the diploma thesis we focused on the design of a functional laboratory model of lifting equipment. This lifting device consists of an asynchronous motor that is via the TOSHIBA frequency converter controlled by the PLC Unitronics V560. IRC 120 incremental encoder was used for feedback. In the work we also deal with the calculation of asynchronous motor parameters for maximum dynamic load, the result of which can be practically simulated on our models of lifting equipment. As a result of this work, this device is capable of controlling the load on a motor shaft at any height can be based on a control system program.
