The analysis of solution of this problem has been carried out. The algorithm of operation for real drive system which takes into account the possibilities of driving of an overhead crane is also presented. The impact of inaccuracies of measurement of the ropes length on minimizing a displacements of payload during the duty cycle is shown as well. The correctness of the method is confirmed by results both simulation and experimental tests.enpayload oscillationsoscillations minimizationunderactuatedsystemscrane drivesoscylacje ładunkówminimalizacja oscylacjiniedokładne systemynapędy żurawiaArtykuł
