Rigging and power
MODE motor controllers
Plan the control system together with the intended motors and setup layout. The record describes a MODE system with model and configuration pending; identifying its components allows documentation to be gathered for reviewing the proposal.
Identification and scope
- Manufacturer or brand
- MODE
- Equipment name
- MODE — motor controllers
- Location
- Ask about availability and location
- Supply for the event
- Listed as available; confirm for the planned date and scope
- Configuration or function
- Motor control system; model and configuration to confirm.
You can start with the motors and setup you want to coordinate, the date and the location, even without all references. We will review control identification, configuration and supply options.
Information to prepare this item
- Component identification, nameplate and documentation; actual assembly configuration.
- Controllers, motors, connections, power supply and system layout, with review by the qualified person responsible for the actual configuration.
Identify the controller and intended motors
Gather the proposed control system’s full model, nameplate, documentation and component list. Relate each reference to the intended motors and their documented requirements; sharing a brand or appearing in related links does not confirm that the system matches.
Prepare control and setup details
| Point | What to record | How to proceed |
|---|---|---|
| Control and documentation | Model, identification, composition and documented system functions | Confirm references for the qualified person’s review |
| Motors and connections | Intended motors, connections and power supply according to their documentation | Review component correspondence for the actual configuration |
| Setup and coordination | Layout, control needs and people responsible for the system | Agree on scope, pending documentation and proposal checks |
The model and configuration remain to be confirmed before defining the system. This guide does not assign a channel count, voltage, connectors, safety functions, simultaneous movements or motor compatibility; it also does not validate the setup, describe connections or lifting operations, or claim completed tests.
Topics to discuss
- Component identification
- Configuration and documentation
- Assembly coordination
- Inspection and recordkeeping
Before applying settings, identify the complete equipment variant and consult its documentation.
