Tadano Error 31: Communication interrupted between lower and upper units

TR-508 · Troubleshooting
Error 31 indicates AML bus communication failure between upper and lower frames. Check slip ring connections and wiring harness integrity.
Tadano Error 31 occurs when the AML (Automatic Moment Limiter) system loses communication between the upper rotating frame and lower carrier. This fault typically stems from damaged slip ring assemblies, corroded electrical connections, or broken wiring in the turntable area. The slip rings transfer power and data signals between the stationary lower frame and rotating upper frame during crane operation.
Reference: Tadano factory service manual and ASME B30.5 crane inspection standards
Remember: SLIP: Seals, Links, Inspect, Power - check these four elements when troubleshooting upper-lower communication faults.
