There are various control methods for electric hoist controllers on the stage. The following are several common ones: Manual Control - Button Control: The basic actions of the electric hoist, such as lifting, lowering, and moving left and right, are achieved through the buttons on the control box. The control box usually has dedicated up, down, stop buttons, as well as possible left - right traverse buttons, etc. This method is simple and straightforward. Operators can operate in real - time according to the actual on - site situation, and it is suitable for some simple stage scenes, such as adjusting the position of a single prop or lighting equipment in a small - scale performance. - Handle Control: Similar to a game controller or an industrial remote - control handle, the electric hoist is controlled through components such as joysticks and buttons on the handle. The operation of the handle is relatively flexible, and operators can more conveniently perform fine - tuning operations. It is more applicable in some scenarios where precise position control is required, such as when a prop needs to be accurately moved to a specific position on the stage. Wireless Remote Control - Ordinary Wireless Remote Control: Radio signals are used to transmit control commands. The remote control has function buttons similar to those of button control, including lift, lower, stop, left - right movement buttons, etc. Operators can control the electric hoist from a position far away from it. Generally, the effective control distance is dozens of meters or even farther, which greatly improves the flexibility and convenience of operation. In large - scale stage performances, operators can control the electric hoist from different positions on the stage, or even from the auditorium, etc., to easily adjust the equipment position in a timely manner according to the performance effect and on - site situation. - Intelligent Wireless Remote - control System: In addition to basic control functions, it may also have some intelligent functions. For example, multiple scene modes can be preset, and different action combinations of multiple electric hoists can be achieved with a single button to meet the needs of rapid switching of different performance scenes. Some intelligent remote - control systems can also be linked with the control systems of other equipment such as stage lighting and sound, to achieve more complex stage effects. Wired Control - Wired Connection of Control Box: The control box is connected to the electric hoist through one or more cables. The control box is equipped with various control buttons and switches. The advantage of this method is that the signal transmission is stable and not affected by problems such as wireless signal interference. It is suitable for occasions with high requirements for control stability. In fixed - installation scenarios of some large - scale stages, such as theaters and TV station studios, the wired control method is usually adopted to ensure the reliable operation of the electric hoist. - PLC Wired Control System: The Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is connected to the electric hoist in a wired manner. The PLC can control the operation of the electric hoist according to a pre - written program. This method can achieve complex logical control and automated operation. For example, multiple electric hoists can perform actions such as lifting, lowering, and moving according to a specific sequence and time interval to complete the rapid transformation of large - scale stage settings and the precise control of the actor's lift in large - scale performances. Network Control - DMX512 Network Control: DMX512 is a network protocol commonly used for stage lighting control. Now, many electric hoist controllers support the DMX512 interface and can be connected to the stage's DMX512 network. Together with other equipment such as lighting and sound, they can be uniformly controlled through a DMX console. This can achieve high - degree synchronization and collaborative work among the electric hoist, lighting, and sound equipment, creating more wonderful effects for stage performances.

- Ethernet - based Network Control: The electric hoist controller is connected to the stage's control system using the Ethernet network, and data transmission and control are carried out through network protocols. This method can achieve remote control and monitoring. Operators can control and manage the electric hoist through devices such as computers or tablets at the stage control center or even other locations. At the same time, the operating status and fault information of the electric hoist can be monitored in real - time.
