Abstract
A control device for controlling motion of a load of a carrier device is presented. The carrier device can be for example a crane and the load can be carried with a rope connected to a suspension point of the crane. The control device comprises an input interface for receiving an input signal indicative of a target speed of the load, an output interface for submitting an output signal indicative of a reference speed of the suspension point, and a processing system constituting a signal processing path for producing the output signal based on the input signal. The signal processing path comprises at least one finite impulse response filter for suppressing a signal component whose frequency is the natural swinging frequency of the load. Due to the finite impulse response, the temporal length of settling and tail effects caused by the filter is limited and deterministic.
