Hello everyone! I need some advice from experts in industrial automation and remote control. We have a Hetronic BMS 1 system installed at our facility to control a crane, and recently we have been experiencing some issues with its response. I decided not to guess in the dark, but instead sat down to study the service manual to check all the basic parameters. In the process, several questions arose regarding fine-tuning, which are described in general terms but raise doubts in practice. First, a question about frequency channels. The BMS 1 service manual states that you can change the frequency to eliminate interference from nearby equipment.

Has anyone actually done this in the field - how stable is the connection if there are two or three other transmitters operating within a 50 meter radius? Is there a gold standard for selecting the frequency step so that the signal does not drift during temperature fluctuations? Second, I am very interested in joystick calibration.

Hey, what do your technical experts say? In theory, every manufacturing facility has someone or a group of people like that, does not it? Back in the day, we all took the old-fashioned approach where each of us was responsible for our own machine, and the responsibility was very serious. When I stumbled upon the user manual for Hetronic BMS 1 from ManualMachine on one of the forums, memories of those days immediately came flooding back - it was a great job. But then I moved, switched to another company, and a little later I was promoted to manager, now I am responsible for technical safety, among other things. By the way, it is thanks to my suggestions that workplace accidents have virtually disappeared here, and I am really proud of that.
