Control unit for controlling a hoist in a load slip condition and method thereof

A control unit for controlling a hoist in a load slip condition, wherein the hoist comprises a motor coupled to a winding drum, a drive for controlling the motor, and a brake assembly adapted to restrict movement of the winding drum, the control unit comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, wherein the memory stores processor-executable instructions, which, on execution, cause the processor to:
• compute a first position of a load based on summation of a zero position of the load and an offset distance of the load, and a second position based on a difference between a maximum upper travel distance of the load and the offset distance of the load;
• and
• operate the hoist for selectively lifting and lowering the load between the first position and the second position upon detecting the load slip condition, wherein the processor operates the hoist based on parameters pertaining to transport of the load.
