Safety and Other Symbol Meanings

This manual symbol is used to alert you to procedures, instructions, or situations which, if
not done properly, might result in personal injury or substantial equipment damage.

This manual symbol is used to alert you to procedures, instructions, or situations which, if
not done properly, might result in equipment damage.

This manual symbol is used to alert you to instructions or other immediately helpful informa­tion.

Safety Precautions

This equipment is designed to comply with ASME A17.1, National Electrical Code, CE, and
CAN/CSA-B44.1/ASME-A17.5 and must be installed by a qualified contractor. It is the
responsibility of the contractor to make sure that the final installation complies with all
local codes and is installed in a safe manner.

This equipment is suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering not more than 10,000
rms symmetrical amperes, 600 volts maximum. The three-phase AC power supply to the
Drive Isolation Transformer used with this equipment must originate from a fused discon­nect switch or circuit br eaker sized in conform ance to all applicable national, state, and local
electrical codes in order to provide the necessary motor branch circuit protection for the
Drive Unit and motor. Incorrect motor branch circuit protection will void the warranty and
may create a hazardous condition.

Proper grounding is vitally important to safe and successful operation. Bring your ground
wire to the system subplate. You must choose the proper conductor size and minimize the

resistance to ground by using the shortest possible routing. See National Electrical Code
Article 250 or the applicable local electrical code.

Before applying power to the controller, physically check all the power resistors and other
components located in the resistor cabinet and inside the controller. Components loosened
during shipment may cause damage.

For proper operation of the Drive Unit in your controller, you must make sure that: 1) A
direct solid ground is provided in the machine room to properly ground the controller and
motor. Indirect grounds such as the building structure or a water pipe may not provide
proper grounding and could act as an antenna to radiate RFI noise, thus disturbing sensi­tive equipment in the building. Improper grounding may also render any RFI filter ineffec­tive. 2) The incoming power to the controller and the outgoing power wires to the motor are
in their respective, separate, grounded conduits.

This equipment may contain voltages as high as 1000 volts. Use extreme caution. Do not
touch any components, resistors, circuit boards, power devices, or electrical connections
without ensuring that high voltage is not present.

Environmental Considerations

• Keep the machine room clean.

•Controllers are generally in NEMA 1 enclosures.

• Do not install the controller in a dusty area.

• Do not install the controller in a carpeted area.

• Keep room temperature between 32 and 104 degrees F (0 to 40 degrees C).

• Prevent condensation on the equipment.

• Do not install the controller in a hazardous location or where excessive amounts of
vapors or chemical fumes may be present.

• Make certain that power line fluctuations are within plus or minus 5% of proper value.

Air Conditioned Equipment Cabinets

If your control or group enclosure is equipped with an air conditioning unit, it is very important
to observe the following precautions. (Failure to do so can result in moisture damage to electri­cal components.)

• Maintain the integrity of the cabinet by using sealed knockouts and sealing any holes
made during installation.

• Do not run the air conditioning while the cabinet doors are open.

• If you turn the air conditioner off while it is running, wait at least five minutes before
restarting it. Otherwise, the compressor may be damaged.

• Observe the recommended thermostat setting (75 degrees) and follow recommended
maintenance schedules.

• Make certain that the air conditioning drain tube remains clear to avoid water accumula­tion in the unit.

Danger

Before You Begin

Review the warnings and information in this section.

This equipment contains voltages up to 1000V, rotating motor parts, and driven machinery that can
cause serious or fatal injury. Only qualified personnel who are familiar with this manual and driven
machinery should attempt to start up or troubleshoot this equipment.

• USE EXTREME CAUTION — Do not touch circuit boards, resistors, or motor electri­cal connections without ensuring that the unit is properly grounded and no high volt­age is present. Do not apply AC power before grounding the equipment in accordance
with applicable local codes, the job prints, and instructions contained in this manual.

• BE CERTAIN — that any possible violent motion of the motor shaft and driven
machinery will not cause personal injury or damage. Peak torques of up to ten times
rated motor torque can occur during a control failure.

• HIGH VOLTAGE — may be present on the motor and drive whether or not AC power is
applied, even if the motor is not rotating.

• BEFORE BEGINNING WORK — read these instructions. Become familiar with proce­dures. Proceed cautiously. These instructions assume adequate electrical trouble­shooting experience. Follow procedures carefully and, if the elevator does not respond
correctly, obtain necessary assistance.

Overview of Construction Mode

Construction mode operation allows the car to be run on Machine Room Inspection and Cartop
Inspection with a bare minimum of field wiring. For Construction Mode operation, only the fol­lowing are needed to run the car:

• Motor, brake, and drive

• Velocity encoder/tachometer

•Safety String

•Normal limit switches

• Door locks and door position monitor (if used)

• The Construction Mode option (iView > View > Setup> Safety > Configuration tab) must
be enabled to run the controller in Construction mode.

The cartop wiring interconnect box (iLink) is not required for Construction mode operation.
Instead, temporary wiring may be used to “bypass” the cartop safety string.

• Adequate working space for comfort and efficiency.

• Logical arrangement, taking into consideration other equipment in the machine room and
routing of electrical power, control, and Local Area Network (10/100 Base TX) wiring.

• Do not install equipment in a hazardous location.

• Installing a telephone in the machine room is desirable as it makes remote diagnostics and
adjustment assistance more readily available.

• Wiring the machine room for internet access will allow MCE technical support to use the
iView application to remotely view system parameters, diagnose problems, and assist you
in adjusting elevator controller settings.

• If any areas in the machine room are subject to vibration, they should be avoided or rein­forced to prevent equipment from being adversely affected.

• Provide adequate lighting for the control cabinets and machines. A good working space
such as a workbench or table should also be provided.

Environmental Considerations

• Ambient temperature should remain within 32° to 104° Fahrenheit (0° to 40° Celsius).
Temperatures outside these guidelines may be tolerated, but will shorten equipment life.
Adequate ventilation is required. Air conditioning may be necessary.

• The air in the machine room should be free of excessive dust, corrosive elements, and
excessive moisture. A NEMA 4 or NEMA 12 enclosure can help meet these requirements if
machine room conditions are inadequate. If the machine room has open or unglazed win­dows or other direct outside openings, place equipment cabinets far enough from them so
that severe weather does not damage the equipment.

• Very high levels of radio frequency (RF) radiation from nearby sources should be avoided.
RFI may interfere with controller components, degrading elevator performance. Using
hand-held communication devices close to the controller may also cause interference.
Interference from permanently installed radio transmitting antennas is not common.

• Power line voltage fluctuation should not be greater than ±10%.

Ethernet and Internet Considerations

The iBox supports three Ethernet connections:

• The 3 = PC port is for direct local connection of a laptop or desktop PC for elevator control
configuration, program uploading, system diagnosis, or parameter adjustment using MCE
iView software. Fixed IP address: 192.168.193.001

• For multi-car, centrally dispatched installations, the 2 = SYSTEM port provides dedicated,
fast 100 Base-TX connection between iBoxes. In these installations, the required Ethernet
hub is provided by MCE and mounted in the iCentral cabinet. See the table below for the
factory default.

• The 1= LAN port allows the elevator controller to be connected to a 10/100 Base-TX Local
Area Network (if available). This allows a single PC to be used to administer and monitor
multiple elevator controllers using iView software. See the table below for the factory
default address for this port.

Through a net modem, ISDN, DSL or other internet access, this port may provide remote
access to the controller. This access allows MCE technical support staff to view controller
parameters at the same time you view them through your LAN or direct/local connection.
Elevator parameters are protected from meddling or accidental change because in order to
write data to a controller, permission must be granted in the machine room.

Machine Room Preparation

2

For installations not requiring a central dispatching capability or for single car installations,
Ethernet or internet connectivity may not be required.

If you want to take advantage of Ethernet or internet connectivity benefits, the machine room
must be appropriately wired. Most commercial buildings use Ethernet Local Area Networks
that can readily be extended to accommodate machine room access.

About MCE Job Prints

MCE Job Prints are technical drawing and instruction sets specifically generated for and
accompanying each MCE installation. The job prints provide technical information and instruc­tion specific to the installation using the survey information collected when the job was speci­fied. Job prints are frequently referenced in installation instructions.

Become familiar with the following information as well as the wiring prints provided with this
control system.

Drawing Number Format - Each
print has a drawing number in
the title block. The drawing num­ber contains the job number, car
number and page number (see
examples). In this manual the
drawings will often be referred to
by the last digit of the drawing
number (page number).

2003012345-2-1

Drawing Name: Some drawings have a drawing name directly above the title block or at the top
of the drawing. The drawing name may also be used to refer to a particular drawing.

MCE job print drawing numbers use the format “Job Number — Car Number — Drawing Iden­tifier.” Thus they are specifically “keyed” to particular installations. It makes using and under­standing job prints much easier if you take some time to review the job prints package before
beginning controller installation. Drawing identifiers and the information you can expect to
find on that job print drawing are listed below:

• N: Nomenclature drawing — schematic symbols, wire gauge information, circuit board
names and symbols.

• INT: iLink cartop wiring interconnect box to controller connections.

• CVR: iBox controls and indicators.

• 1: AC power connections, power bus information.

• 2 through nn: iBox/controller wiring.

• CC: Contact Count drawing — System contact/relay information.

Controller Cabinet Installation

Review the wiring guidelines in this section before bringing wires into the controller.

When drilling or cutting access holes or during other machining, do not allow any metal
chips to fall into the electronics. Keep drive or other covers in place while wiring to prevent
damage to components.

1. Mount cabinets securely to the machine room floor.

2. Cut holes to permit bringing wires in as shown in the following illustration.

MCE applies labels inside the cabinet to identify suggested wiring hole locations. The MCE con­troller cabinet does not require rear access.

• Field wiring should enter the cabinet from the side at the lower left corner or from the bot-

tom directly under the wiring trough. The wires must be routed through the wiring

trough on the left side of the controller cabinet in a way that allows the power
box door to open fully.

• All conductors entering or leaving the controller cabinet must be through conduit. High
voltage, high current conductors, such as power conductors from the fused disconnect or
isolation transformer, must be separated from control wires. It is essential that Tachome­ter/Velocity Encoder control wires be routed through a separate conduit away from high
current conductors.

• The traveling cable must have at least four twisted shielded pairs to be used for the posi­tion pulser quadrature signal and the iL
sor board (ICE-CTP) to the iBox Safety Processor board (ICE-SAF). The shielded cable
should be used all the way to the controll er. I f there are more shielded pairs still available,
route the ULM, DLM and DZ signals from the iLink Car Top Processor board through a
shielded pair (especially if the building has more than eight floors). The shields must be
grounded at both ends by connecting them to a “SHLD” terminal.

Peripheral Inputs and Outputs

In every installation, there are different requirements for accepting inputs from or providing
outputs to various kinds of peripheral equipment. iControl handles this generic need using ICE­MIAC input boards, ICE-MOR output boards, and ICE-COP and SC-ION serial I/O boards.

Typically an installation will have at least one MIAC and one MOR board in the controller cabi­net to handle requirements local to the machine room and at least one MIAC and one MOR
board in the cartop interconnect box (iLink) to handle requirements local to the elevator car.

Inputs Refer to your job prints (drawings -9 — nn or -CT) to see exactly how your periph­eral inputs are configured. Typical usages include car call buttons, card reader inputs, fire return switches, smoke sensors, etc. To complete an input, the installer wires a switch or con­tact closure provided by the peripheral equipment between a power bus (120 VAC) and one of the ICE-MIAC board input connections. Exact requirements are collected during the job survey and documented in the job prints. The illustration below shows a typical switch wiring example.

Figure 2.2 Typical Peripheral Switch Connection to ICE-MIAC Board

Outputs Refer to your job prints (drawings -9 — nn or -CT) to see exactly how your out-

puts are configured. Typical usages include in-service lights, emergency power lights, nudging
buzzers, floor chimes, car-riding lanterns and chimes, and car call button indicators (lights). To
complete an output, the installe r wi res the lamp, buzzer, etc. between a power bus and one of
the ICE-MOR output connections. Exact requirements are collected during the job survey and
documented in the job prints. Different blocks of outputs may be connected to different buses.
The illustration below shows a typical (lamp driving) output wiring example.

Input/Output Terminals Input/Output assignment may be changed in the iView application but, the job prints specify, and the system is shipped supporting, a logical configura­tion. For example, the #1 floor button in the car operating panel is connected to the #1 input to the cartop ICE-MIAC board. When the button is pressed, the input signal directs the controller to register a call to floor #1 and the controller activates the #1 output on the cartop ICE-MOR board. The active output completes a circuit and the lamp in the #1 button is lighted so that the passenger knows the call has been registered.

The correlation between input and output is assigned at the factory according to the job survey
and the correct wiring is stipulated on the job prints. It is imperative that, if any changes or
additions are made, MCE be contacted so that the job prints may be updated to reflect current
connections.

Input/Output Wiring Inputs and outputs are wired to pluggable terminals on the car­top or controller ICE-MIAC (inputs) and ICE-MOR (outputs) boards. The connector numbering is the same on input and output boards. Terminal arrangement is shown in the illustration below.

Equipment Grounding

For good grounding, quality materials and methods must be used. Grounding must conform to
all applicable codes. Proper grounding is essential to safety and reduces noise-induced prob­lems:

•Provide equipment grounding in accordance with NEC Article 250 and/or the local electri­cal code, as applicable.

• The grounding wire between equipment cabinets may follow a branching or daisy-chain
configuration but the wire must terminate at the last controller and NOT loop back.

• You must provide a direct, solid ground to the controller and motor. An indirect ground,
such as the building structure or a water pipe, may not provide proper grounding and
could act as an antenna — radiating RFI noise and interfering with electronic equipment
in the building.

• The conduit containing the AC power feeders must not be used for grounding.

Danger

Caution

Check for Shorts to Ground

Check for shorts to ground before powering up the system. Power must be OFF at the main
disconnect. If any shorts to ground are discovered, they must be corrected before proceeding.

A short to ground is defined as having a resistance of less than 20 ohms between the 1 bus
(Common) and the terminal being tested.

Be certain that power is OFF at the main disconnect before proceeding.

Typically, the iLink cartop box has not been installed at this point. If the cartop box has been
installed and connected, it MUST be disconnected before checking for shorts in the controller cab­inet. This is easily done by simply unplugging all field-wired connectors in the cartop box before
checking for shorts to ground.

1. Using a standard screwdriver, temporarily disengage all fuses at the top of the iPower

box by turning them counterclockwise until they pop up. Don’t place a cap on a fuse
holder without a fuse in it. The cap can get stuck and be hard to remove.

2. Disengage all fuses at the bottom of the iBox (just below the logo).

3. Release the screws that hold the iPower box closed and open the enclosure. Disengage all the fuses from the fuse block inside (towards the top of) the iPower box by lifting them clear of their sockets at one end.

4. Measure the resistance between the iBox #1 (Common) bus and terminals that have a field connection (DZ down to SP4 on the left side of the iBox).

5. Measure the resistance between the #2 (120VAC) bus terminals and the #1 bus.

6. Measure the resistance between the #3 (110VDC) bus terminals and the #1 bus.

7. Check for shorts to ground on motor power terminals L1, L2, and L3.

8. Check for shorts to ground on brake terminals B1 and B2.

9. If no shorts to ground are discovered, re-engage the fuses. Refer to the job prints for fuse location if necessary.

Note

AC Voltage Verification and Wiring

Instructions in this section describe wiring from commercial power to iControl. Most of the
technical information is in the MCE job prints and referenced here as necessary. As shown in
the job prints, an isolation transformer may be used to clean up “dirty” commercial power, shift
voltage levels, and prevent noise from electrical equipment from being introduced back into the
building power system. Isolation transformers are specified in some, but not all, installations.

AC voltage verification and wiring instructions include:

• Verifying main line power and wiring the controller

•Initial power up

All conductors entering or leaving the controller cabinet must be through conduit. High voltage,
high current conductors, such as power conductors from the fused disconnect or isolation
transformer, must be separated from control wires. It is essential that tachometer/velocity
encoder control wires be routed through a separate conduit away from high current conductors.

AC Voltage Verification and Wiring

2

Incoming power to the controller and outgoing power wires to the motor must be in their
respective grounded conduit.

The majority of iControl installations use an iField Brake Module to provide selective voltages
to precisely control brake picking, brake hold, brake application, and brake timing. DC installa­tions may also use auxiliary power inputs. In these cases, the job print details for AC input wir­ing from the transformer may include connections specifically for auxiliary brake and input
power. Read and follow the job prints carefully.

2-17

Construction Mode

Note

Caution

Verifying Main Line Power and Wiring the Controller

1. Consult the job prints. Check the line side of the main disconnect to see that all three
legs are at the correct voltage. Compare this voltage with the primary voltage on the data
plate for the drive isolation transformer (must be within 10% of this value).

Proper motor branch circuit protection in the form of a fused disconnect switch or circuit
breaker must be provided for each elevator according to applicable electrical code. Each discon­nect or breaker must be clearly l abeled with th e elevator number. The electrical contractor must
determine the wire size for the main AC power supply and for the wiring from the di sconnec t or
breaker to the drive isolation transformer.

2. If the car is part of a group, the cars in the group must be wired to provide power to the
group cabinet. If this is the case, refer to the Group Supervisor Field Wiring print in the
job prints. Group power is provided by the car controllers as shown in drawing -2. The
main AC power supply wiring size must be determined by the electrical contractor.

2a. Check the phase-offset of the individual car ST2-bus lines before connecti ng them

to the Group cabinet. Use a voltmeter set to AC volts to measure between adjacent
car ST2-bus terminals in the Group cabinet. The meter must read less than
10VAC. If the reading is higher, reverse the power leads going to the car T1 trans­former at L1 and L2 and measure again.

All 2 bus power from car to Group cabinets must be in phase. Connecting out-of-phase power
WILL cause damage.

2b. A separate conduit or wiring trough must be provided for the System (car-to-car)

Ethernet network. Wiring is fully detailed in the job prints. These details must be
followed exactly.

2c. If applicable, also wire according to the Group Interconnects to Individual Car

Cabinets print. Be sure to ground all cabinets according to instructions.

2d. Refer to the iCentral (Group Supervisor) Field Wiring Print for Group Controller

field wiring instructions.

3. Connect AC supply wiring to the isolation transformer, and wiring from the transformer to the controller exactly as shown in the job prints.

Initial Controller Power Up

After AC power is connected, temporarily power up the controller and check to see that power
buses inside the controller cabinet are providing proper outputs.

This procedure assumes that no field wiring has been connected to the controller. If field wiring has
been connected, disconnect it before beginning this procedure. Before applying power, physically
check all power resistors and other components located in the resistor and controller compartments.
Components loosened during shipment may cause damage.

1. On the iBox, verify:

• Inspection switch UP (Inspection mode selected)

• Controller Stop Switch DOWN (Stop selected)

• Test switch ON

• All other iBox slide switches DOWN (Off)

These switch settings prevent the elevator from moving when the controller is powered up.

• Verifying brake resistance and wiring the brake

• (Optional) brake pick switch installation and wiring

• Installing the velocity encoder

Checking the Hoist Motor

If this job reuses existing rotating equipment, the equipment must be checked for insulation
breakdown.

1. Disconnect all motor and brake wiring.

2. Perform an insulation test between these wires and the frame of the related equipment using a Megohm meter to subject the insulation to the same high voltages that would be present during operation.

3. Minimum insulation resistance of 100k Ohms is required.

4. Correct any insulation problems before proceeding. Insulation problems may indicate a serious problem in the equipment.

Wiring the Hoist Motor to the Controller

Incoming power to the controller and outgoing power wires to the motor must be in their
respective grounded conduit.

Keep DC motor wires separate from control wires both inside and outside the controller cabi­net. Encoder or tachometer wiring must use a separate grounded conduit.

1. Refer to job print drawing -D1 for DC drive connections to rotating equipment.

2. Make connections as shown:

• on the System 12 SCR Drive - be certain to follow schematic notes regarding wire size
and specific motor connections.

• on the Quattro DC Drive - follow the instructions in the section titled EMC Compliance
in the appendix of the drive technical manual.

tachometer cannot be corrected inside the drive. The tachometer wheel and the surface on
which it runs must be smooth and the tachometer must be mounted so that it can maintain con­tact without binding or bouncing.

Alignment of the tachometer coupling is extremely important. Most vibration problems are
caused by the tachometer or the way in which it was mounted. The tachometer mounting must
be rigid and the tachometer wheel must be aligned precisely with the surface it is running on
(i.e., the brake drum or drive sheave).

In geared applications, do not drive the tachometer from the sheave because gear lash cannot be
compensated by the drive unit.

Tachometer Wiring

The tachometer wiring must use a separate grounded conduit. Inside the controller cabinet, if
control wires must cross power wires, they must cross at right angles to reduce the possibility of
interference.

The cable must be routed into the controller cabinet in a separate conduit. The following illus­tration shows the wiring at the controller end.

1. Connect the cable from the tachometer as shown above.

2. The connection to the controller TS connection must be positive (+) with respect to the TC connection when the elevator is moving in the up direction.

3. DO NOT connect the cable shield at the tachometer end of the cable. Insulate any part of
the shield exposed at the tachometer end to prevent it from accidentally shorting to
ground. (Connecting the shield at the tachometer end may cause ground loop noise and
affect ride quality.)

Velocity Encoder Installation and Wiring

(If you are using a tachometer, please see the preceding topic.) The encoder must be mounted
and wired according to the drawings. When installed, the encoder must be electrically isolated
from the motor or any other ground. (Resistance between the encoder casing and the motor or
other ground should be “infinite.”)

Do not mount the encoder or its wiring close to a magnetic field (the motor or brake coils). Mag­netic fields can induce AC into the encoder signal, producing erratic control at lower speeds.

Encoder wiring must use a separate, grounded conduit. Inside the controller cabinet, if control
wires must cross power wires, they must cross at right angles to reduce the possibility of inter­ference.

Encoder Mounting The following illustration shows two typical encoder installations.

Figure 2.9 Typical Encoder Installations

2-26 Manual # 42-02-7223

It is very important that the encoder does not slip, wobb le, bounce, or vibrate due to poor instal­lation of the shaft extension, coupling, or encoder mounting. It is also important that the
encoder housing be electrically insulated from the motor, machine, or other ground if the
encoder is manufactured by BEI. An insulated encoder mount has been furnished with the BEI
encoder. However, this type of mounting may not be practical for all applications, therefore, the
best method for mounting the encoder and coupling it to the motor must be determined at the
job site.

Encoder Isolation The encoder housing must be electrically isolated from the machine (ground). To check this:

1. Measure the resistance between the encoder case and the frame of the motor. The mea-

DC Hoist Motor, Brake, and Encoder/Tachometer

sured value must be “infinite” for complete isolation.

Encoder Wiring A shielded cable with an appropriate connector at the encoder end is provided. The controller end of the cable exposes trimmed and tinned individual conductors. The encoder cable must be routed into the controller cabinet in a separate conduit. The follow­ing illustration shows the encoder wiring at the controller end of the cable.

These connections are shown for illustration purposes only. Follow the job print instructions
for your specific encoder connections — they may be different than those shown here. Z+ and Z­connections are rarely used at the controller-end.

2

1. Connect the cable to the encoder using the cable/connector provided.

2. Route the cable through a separate conduit to the controller cabinet.

3. Connect the controller end of the cable as shown in the job prints.

4. Verify that the encoder shield is soldered to the drain wire (wire without insulation). Keep the cable shield connection as short as possible — connect it to the nearest shield terminal.

The encoder used must be rated up to 15-volts.Do not coil excess Encoder cable near high voltage
components — noise may be induced. If the cable must be shortened, trim it at the controller end. Do
not cut and re-splice in the middle of the cable or shorten at the Encoder end.

Basic Safety String and Associated Wiring

This section contains wiring instructions for basic safety string switches (in Construction Mode,
before the iLink cartop interconnect is installed). A safety string is essentially a number of nor­mally-closed switches connected in series such that, should any one of the switches open, power
to the motor and brake will immediately drop to stop the car. The elevator must not be run until
the safety string is connected. Safety string wiring includes:

• Emergency Stop switch

• Hoistway safety switches

• Cartop safety CTS Relay temporary bypass (for Construction Mode use only)

The location and number of safety switches varies from job to job. MCE job prints indicate exact
job wiring as determined during the job survey. Please refer to “Safety String Bypass Jumper”

on page 6-3 for safety bypass related information.

Cartop Safety Switches

Depending upon the job, cartop safety switches may include:

• Safety Clamp Switch

•Emergency Exit Contact

•Emergency Stop Switch

•CTS Relay (iLink)

The wiring instructions for these switches are on the job prints.

1. Refer to the job prints.

2. Wire the cartop safety switches as shown.

The Cartop Safety Relay is located in the cartop interconnect box. If the box is not yet installed,
the relay must be temporarily bypassed to get the car operating in construction mode. For now,
using the switches and terminals available to you, wire as much of the string as you are able.

Hoistway Safety Switches

Depending upon the job, hoistway safety switches may include:

•Final Limit Switches

•Buffer Switches

•Pit Door Switch

•Pit Stop Switch

•Governor Switch

The wiring instructions for these switches are on the job prints.

1. Refer to the job prints.

2. Wire the hoistway safety string switches as shown.

Temporary CTS Relay Bypass

If the iLink cartop interconnect box which contains the Cartop Safety (CTS) Relay is not yet
installed, you must bypass the CTS relay temporarily (for Construction Mode only). (If you are
installing the iLink cartop box now, please refer to the iLink instructions in Section 3.)

Basic Safety String and Associated Wiring

1. Refer to the job prints.

2. Connect the safety string in series between the iBox SAFH and SAFC terminals.

3. You must provide an Emergency Stop switch in series between SAFH and SAFC.

Make sure the Emergency Stop switch is wired in series between SAFH and SAFC to allow emergency
stopping while working on the cartop.

Access Locks and Contacts

Door switches include:

• Car door: GS (Gate Switch).

• Hall doors: DLMS (Door Lock Main String), DLAT (Door Lock Access Top), DCAT (Door
Contact Access Top), DLAB (Door Lock Access Bottom), DCAB (Door Contact Access Bot­tom).

1. Refer to the job prints.

2. Connect the switches for front and rear (if present) doors as shown.

Rope Gripper Wiring

An “emergency brake” may be connected between iControl terminals RG1 and RG2 to stop
unexpected car motion. A rope gripper is used to apply braking pressure to the hoist ropes.
After it is triggered, press the iBox Fault Reset button or the Rope Gripper board reset button to
reset the rope gripper.

1. Refer to the job prints (MRW- machine room wiring sheets).

2. Connect the rope gripper to iControl RG1, RG2, RG5, and RG7 terminals as shown.

Temporary Rope Gripper Bypass

If a Rope Gripper will be installed later, you may temporarily bypass the input by installing a
jumper between RG5 and RG7.

Temporary Cartop Inspection Wiring

Four cartop switches control car motion: An
Inspection Enable switch, a Safe switch , an Up
switch, and a Down switch.

1. Refer to job print drawing -CW, Cartop Inspection Station.

2. Connect the (Normally Closed) Cartop Inspection Enable switch between the #3 bus and the iControl INCT terminal as shown. (This switch is used to put the car on cartop inspection. INCT is active low.)

2-29

Construction Mode

Note

3. Connect a Safe push button switch between the #3 bus and the direction push buttons.

4. Connect a Down push button switch between the Safe switch and the iControl ICTD ter­minal as shown (active high).

5. Connect an Up push button switch between the Safe switch and the iControl ICTU ter­minal as shown (active high).

Applying Power

1. Set the iBox Inspection switch to the Inspection position.

2. Set the Controller Stop switch to the Stop position.

3. Set the Test switch to On.

4. Turn on power at the main disconnect.

5. Watch the front panel displays of the iBox, the controller will take about 60 seconds to initialize.

6. Check the iBox Computer, Safety A, and Safety B status LEDs. The LEDs should be lighted solid green.

Setting Initial Operating Parameters

Once all Construction mode connections are complete, certain iControl parameters must be set
or verified. These settings must be accomplished using a computer running iView software.

The iBox may be accessed using iView or the iBox keypad. However, both are not allowed to
make changes at the same time. By default, the iBox keypad has control but once an iView user
has acquired write privileges (Privilege/Acquire) the keypad is prevented from making changes
until the iView user relinquishes the write privilege.

Connecting the iView PC

Please refer to “Important” on page 8-3 if you have not yet installed iView on your PC.
There are two ways to connect the iBox to a PC:

• Direct Connection: Connect the PC directly to the iBox through the iBox 3=PC port. Please

refer to “Direct Connections” on page 2-35.

• Peripheral LAN Connection: Connect the PC to the LAN hub supporting one or more iBox
controllers (iBox #1 port). If you are connecting to multiple iControls, please refer to the
iCue User Guide that accompanied the group controller for LAN instructions.

The illustration and table on the following pages provide examples of the factory default Ether­net addresses used by iControls and iCue groups.

About LANs: LAN stands for Local Area Network. A LAN is basically several computers (or
smart equipment with a computer inside — like the iBox) all connected to a common point (the
hub) so they can communicate with each other. In order for a message from one computer to
reach the computer (or iControl/iBox) it wants to talk to, all the computers connected to the
LAN have to have their own address. The address is called a TCP/IP number. Please refer to

“System and LAN Ethernet” on page 11-15 for more detail.

used your PC to connect to other iBoxes, you probably only need to connect the cable, launch
iView, and select the connection with the appropriate IP information and use that to connect.
When creating direct connections in the iView connections folder, it is a good practice to name
them clearly so they are easy to distinguish (i.e., “CarA Direct”). The instructions here are

Learning the Safety Configuration

The controller is set to match the job safety configuration before shipping. By default, Construc­tion Mode is also enabled before the controller is shipped. You should not have to make

changes to the Safety screen until you exit Construction Mode.

The safety configuration for the job is stored in two locations in iControl (FLASH and EEPROM
on the SAF board). iControl constantly checks current safety information against stored data
and also compares the data in the two stored locations to make certain they continue to match.
If you make a change on the Safety screen, you will need to do a “learn” operation to write the
new data to iControl:

1. From the View menu select Setup and click Safety.

2. On the Setup > Safety > Configuration tab, make necessary changes.

3. Select Acquire from the Write privilege menu (if you have not yet acquired write privi­leges to the iBox), then click Send to save the changes to iControl.

The controller will generate a safety mismatch fault because the settings you have just sent do
not match its stored information.

4. Verify that the iBox is in Inspection mode (Inspection switch set to INSP). Set the Learn switch to ON.

5. The Learn section of the Safety > Configuration tab should indicate that the controller is ready to learn.

6. Click on the Learn button. The controller will take a few seconds to learn the new infor­mation and will then confirm that the safety configurations again match.

7. Set the iBox Learn switch back to the OFF position.
The message window on the Safety> Configuration tab should report Safety Configura­tions OK.

While iControl is in Construction Mode, specific safety and operational features are automati­cally bypassed. These are:

• All cartop signals, including DP1 and DP2 (position encoder pulse streams).

• Normal and Emergency limit switches, NTS and ETS velocity and position logic. Except
Normal Limit Switches DNTD and UNTD.

• Only Machine Room and Cartop Inspection are allowed. Will not allow Hoistway Access or
COP Inspection.

• EQ signals, both seismic and counterweight derailment, are absent.

• Fire sensor signals are absent.

•No cartop comm.

Drive Startup (System 12 SCR Drive)

The following startup instructions pertain to the System 12 SCR Drive. For startup instructions
for the Magnetek Quattro DC drive see “Drive Startup (Quattro DC Drive)” on page 2-71.

Check SCR Drive Voltage and Polarity

1. Ensure power is OFF at the main disconnect.

2. Set the iBox Inspection switch to the Inspection position.

3. Set the iBox Controller Stop switch to the Stop position.

4. Set the iBox Test switch to On.

5. Disable the hoist motor by lifting all sets of motor brushes and putting cardboard under them (or tie them back so that no contact is made).

6. Remove the brake wire from terminal B1 to prevent the brake from picking.

7. Turn on power at the main disconnect.

8. Watch the front panel displays of the iBox, the controller will take about 60 seconds to initialize.

9. Check the iBox Computer, Safety A, and Safety B status LEDs. The LEDs should be lighted solid green.

10. Check the 3-phase AC voltages at X1, X2, X3, and Y1, Y2, Y3 on the contactors at the bot­tom of the SCR drive. They should match the voltage for the secondary windings of the
Drive Isolation Transformer as shown on page -D1 of the job prints.

11. Verify that the fan(s) in the resistor cabinet are functional.

12. Look for the Drive Ready indicator on the SCR drive. It should light within 5 seconds
after the iBox initializes. If the DRIVE READY LED did not light, leave the motor dis­abled and the brake B1 lead disconnected, go to “If DRIVE READY Did Not Light” and
follow the conditional steps below.

13. If the Drive Ready indicator did
light, restore hoist motor brush
contact. Reconnect the brake ter­minal B1 wire. Please refer to

“Motor Field Calibration (System
12 SCR Drive)” on page 2-53.

2

If DRIVE READY Did Not Light:

14. Measure between 1 and 2D on the System 12 drive (should read 120VAC).

15. Check fuse F2D. Replace the fuse if necessary. If the Drive Ready LED does not light, make a note of any lighted LEDs on the SCR Drive, and turn power off at the main disconnect.

2-47

Construction Mode

16. The controller is fully tested according to the connections shown in the job prints before being shipped from MCE, however, depending upon lighted LEDs noted in Step 15 above:

• If Delta P.R., Wye P.R., and 30
wires on the primary winding of the Drive Isolation Transformer.

• If Delta P.R. and 30

•If Wye P.R. and 30
terminals Y1 and Y2 or Y1 and Y3.

•If only the 30

• Interchange any two of the three wires feeding the Drive Isolation Transformer pri­mary.

• Interchange wires X1 and Y1 on the SCR Drive.

• Interchange wires X2 and Y2 on the SCR Drive.

• Interchange wires X3 and Y3 on the SCR Drive.

• Power up and check the 30

•If the 30
from X1 to X2, X2 to X3, and X3 to X1. It may be necessary to repeat this step if the 30

P.R. LED is still ON after an additional power up.

• If all P.R. LEDs do not turn OFF at this point, there is a probable defect not related to
transformer hookup.

18. If any of the Low Line red LEDs were on, power down and:

• Remove the SCR Drive cover.

• Check that the 20-pin header (U81) with resistors and jumper plugs is firmly plugged
into the SCR-LGA board (top center) and that the number on the edge of the header
matches the header number on page -SCR of the job prints. Please refer to “Current

Limit Adjustments (System 12 SCR Drive)” on page 2-63.

19. If, after completing the checks and adjustments listed in Steps 14 through 18, the Drive Ready LED still does not light, contact MCE Technical Support.

20. If the Drive Ready indicator did light, restore hoist motor brush contact. Reconnect the
brake terminal B1 wire. Please refer to “Motor Field Calibration (System 12 SCR Drive)”

Drive Startup (System 12 SCR Drive)

Drive Offsets Calibration (System 12 SCR Drive)

The iBox processes drive control voltages digitally. The digital signal is converted to its analog
equivalent for output to the drive (DAC). Analog input control voltages are likewise converted
from analog to digital for use by the iBox (ADC). Both of these conversions should be checked
and any conversion offset corrected using the Output DAC and Input ADC parameters on the
Configuration > Drive > Calibration tab.

This section describes both the automated and manual procedures which can be used to cali­brate the System 12 drive analog circuitry. MCE recommends using the automated procedure
first and then verifying the most critical offsets using the manual procedure.

Automated Drive Setup Procedure

Before adjusting the drive, verify that:

• CONTROLLER STOP switch is in the RUN position

• iBox Safety OK LED is ON

• iBox Door Locked LED is ON

• iBox Fault LED is OFF

1. Display the Drive setup layout (View > Layouts > Drive)

2

2-49

Construction Mode

2. Follow the on-screen instructions, “To perform the drive offsets calibration, ...” (cali­brates Input ADC, Output DAC, Current Sensor, and Current Loop Integral Offset).

3. Once the calibration is Done, the offset values shown on the Setup > Drive tab should match those shown on the Drive Configuration tab (Configuration > Drive > Calibration tab).

Manual Drive Setup Procedure (System 12 SCR Drive)

MCE recommends first performing the Automated Drive Setup Procedure previously described
and then verifying the most critical offsets (Output DAC, Current loop integral, Current
sensor and Input ADC - Tachometer) using the manual procedure. However, if the auto­mated procedure is unsuccessful, the manual procedure must be used. Before adjusting the
drive, verify:

• CONTROLLER STOP switch is in the RUN position

• iBox Safety OK LED is ON

• iBox Door Locked LED is ON

• iBox Fault LED is OFF

• Motor Field has been calibrated (see “Motor Field Calibration (System 12 SCR Drive)”

on page 2-53.)

• iView is connected, write privilege has been obtained (Write Privilege > Acquire
selected and “Yes” softkey on iBox pressed in response).

1. Display the Configuration > Drive > Calibration tab.

2. Loosen the four captive screws securing the cover on the System 12 drive. Set the cover aside.

The SCR-LGA board is visible at the top left of the drive enclosure. (The LEDs visible through
the drive cover are mounted on a small PC board which is, in turn, mounted on the SCR-LGA
board.) Refer to the following illustration for the location of test points referenced in this proce­dure.

3. Output DAC: With the multimeter, measure between jumper JP3 and ground. If nec­essary, adjust Output DAC on the iView screen until you measure as close to 0.0 volts as
possible (less than 1mV). (Remember to increment or decrement the iView setting, then
Send the value so the adjustment will take effect.)

4. Current loop integral: Use a multimeter to measure between jumper JP7 (‘A’ posi­tion on jumper) and ground. If necessary, adjust Current loop integral on the Drive >
Calibration tab until you measure as close to 0.0 volts as possible (less than 1mV). (You
will need to increment or decrement the iView setting, then Send the value before the
adjustment will take effect.)

5. Current sensor: With the multimeter, measure between test point TP3F and ground.
If necessary, adjust Current sensor on the iView screen until you measure as close to 0.0
volts as possible (less than 1mV). (Remember to increment or decrement the iView set­ting, then Send the value so the adjustment will take effect.)

6. Zero crossing: Note that the Zero crossing parameter is set to 0.0. This adjustment is
used only if zero crossing must be adjusted for ride quality reasons and the zero crossing
trim pot (R388 on the SCR-LGA board) doe s not allow sufficient adjustment. See the
following Note.

2-51

Construction Mode

Note

Note trim pot R376 and test point IZO (near jumper JP2). These components are used to set the
“zero crossing” point if necessary. Trim pot R376 is set and locked at the factory and should not
require adjustment. If, when adjusting the ride quality of the car in later steps, you notice a
sharp bump when transitioning from acceleration to steady speed or from steady speed to
deceleration, you may need to adjust zero crossing.

7. Display the iView Virtual Oscilloscope (View > Diagnostics > Virtual Oscilloscope) and obtain Write Privilege.

8. On the Virtual Oscilloscope, set Test point 1 = Tachometer Signal.

9. Input ADC - Tachometer: Adjust the Input ADC - Tachometer parameter by enter­ing and sending small negative or positive values until the Test point 1 value is as close
to 0.0 as possible. The ADC adjustment range is from —0.5 to +0.5.

10. Input ADC - Brake current: Set the Virtual Oscilloscope Test Point 1 = Brake Current
Feedback and then adjust the Input ADC - Brake current parameter by entering and
sending small negative or positive values until the Test point 1 value is as close to 0.0 as
possible.

11. Input ADC - Brake voltage: Set the Virtual Oscilloscope Test Point 1 = Brake Voltage
Feedback and then adjust the Input ADC - Brake voltage parameter by entering and
sending small negative or positive values until the Test point 1 value is as close to 0.0 as
possible.

12. Input ADC - Armature current: Set the Virtual Oscilloscope Test Point 1 = Armature
Current Dampened Feedback and then adjust the Input ADC - Armature current
parameter by entering and sending small negative or positive values until the Test point
1 value is as close to 0.0 as possible.

13. Input ADC - Armature voltage: Set the Virtual Oscilloscope Test Point 1 = Armature
Voltage Dampened Feedback and then adjust the Input ADC - Armature voltage
parameter by entering and sending small negative or positive values until the Test point
1 value is as close to 0.0 as possible.

14. Input ADC - Absolute armature current: Set the Virtual Oscilloscope Test Point 1 =
Armature Current Dampened Feedback and then adjust the Input ADC - Absolute
armature current parameter by entering and sending small negative or positive values
until the Test point 1 value is as close to 0.0 as possible.

15. For the next two adjustments, the Armature Current Test must be enabled in order to
shut off the armature current (Please refer to “Armature Current Test Procedure:” on

page 9-105).

16. Input ADC - Motor field current: Set the Virtual Oscilloscope Test Point 1 = Field Cur­rent Feedback and then adjust the Input ADC - Motor field current parameter by enter­ing and sending small negative or positive values until the Test point 1 value is as close
to 0.0 as possible.

17. Input ADC - Motor field voltage: Set the Virtual Oscilloscope Test Point 1 = Field Volt­age Feedback and then adjust the Input ADC - Motor field
ing and sending small negative or positive values until the Test point 1 value is as close
to 0.0 as possible.

Manually Adjusting Motor Field Gains — Closed Loop (SCR)

These manual adjustments are almost never necessary. They are useful only in instances of
extremely poor motor field response.

If, after calibration and settings ch ecks are com plete, there are still performance issues, e.g. the
drive Current Limit LED lights at the beginning and/or end of runs or you feel spotting (hesita­tion) coming into a floor, the hoist motor response to control inputs may not be rapid enough.
In these instances you may be able to manually adjust motor field gains to compensate.

1. On the Configuration > Motor Field > Control tab, set PID/Field proportional to 1.0 and PID Field integral to 3.0.

If satisfactory performance is not achieved with the above settings:

2. Select Virtual Oscilloscope from the View menu.

3. Set Test point 1 to Field Integral Gain.

4. Monitor iBox test point STP 1 with an oscilloscope.

5. Observe response while changing Voltage/Field standing voltage from the standing voltage value to the forcing voltage value and back again.

If oscillation or overshoot is observed:

6. Decrease PID/Field proportional by 0.2 and repeat step 4.

7. If reducing PID/Field proportional had no effect, reduce PID/Field integral by 0.2 and
repeat step 4. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should Field proportional or Field inte-
gral be below 0.25.

If no oscillation or overshoot is observed:

8. Increase PID/Field proportional by 0.5 and repeat step 4. If there is still no oscillation
or overshoot, continue increasing Field proportional by 0.5 increments and repeating
step 4 until you see oscillation or overshoot. When you see oscillation or overshoot,
reduce Field proportional to 50% of its value (not below 0.25).

9. Next, increase PID/Field integral in 0.5 increments while repeating step 4 until oscilla­tion or overshoot is observed. (DO NOT set Field integral above 10.0.) When oscillation
or overshoot is visible, reduce Field integral by 10%.

The preceding two steps are designed to achieve the desired response using the lowest Field
proportional and integral values possible.

To verify that the brake is picking properly:

1. Verify that the iBox Safety OK LED is solidly on. Display the Pattern > Common tab (View > Configuration > Pattern > Common tab).

2. Set Pattern Scaling to 0% and click Send to send the changed parameter to iControl.

3. Display the Operational Status tab. Note that Brake voltage is charted in the Machine section of the Operational Status tab.

4. With a digital volt meter set to DC volts,
measure brake output voltage across termi­nals B1 and B2 (located just below the iBox
panel). (A typical terminal block is shown to
the right. B1 and B2 will be labeled.)

5. Press the Enable and Up (or Down) buttons
to lift the brake. Verify that the voltages on
the volt meter are the same as the com­manded voltage (Pick voltage / Hold voltage
parameters on the Brake > Voltages tab) and
Brake voltage on the Operational Status tab.

The brake should lift but the car should not move since
Pattern scaling is set to command zero speed.

6. Change the Pick and Hold voltages to one half the current value of the Pick voltage parameter and save the new values.

7. Press and hold Enable and Up (or Down) and verify brake voltage again. (T he brake will probably not lift since we are outputting only half the Pick voltage.)

Running on Machine Room Inspection

Once you are satisfied that the brake is picking properly, you need to verify proper car move­ment and motor current, troubleshoot if car movement is not as it should be, and calibrate
speed using a handheld tachometer.

Drive Startup (System 12 SCR Drive)

Verifying Car Movement (System 12 SCR Drive)

1. On the Pattern > Common tab, set Pattern scaling = 100%.

2. Set the iBox Inspection switch to INSP and run the car using the Enable and Up (or Down) switches.

If the car runs satisfactorily, but in the opposite direction commanded:

1. Display the Configuration > Drive > General tab and change the Rotational direction parameter in the Speed Reference section.

2. If you have not yet done so, select Acquire under the Write privilege menu and press the “Yes” softkey on the iBox to grant yourself write permission. In iView, click the Send button to send the changed value to iControl.

3. Reverse the motor field wires at MF1 and MF2.

4. Run the car using the Enable and Up (or Down) buttons. Verify that it travels in the direction commanded.

If the Car “Runs Away”

1. If using an encoder, reverse the Rotational direction as described above.

2. If using a tachometer, swap the TS (+) and TC (-) connections as described above.

Feedback from the encoder or tach controls car speed. If the tach is incorrectly connected or the
encoder speed reference set incorrectly, the car is continuously accelerated rather than con­trolled.

If the Current Limit LED Lights

If the Current Limit LED on the System 12 SCR Drive turns ON:

1. Increase the value of Armature current limit on the Configuration > Drive > Safety tab slightly (10% increments) to allow more torque output.

If any of the System 12 SCR Drive protective devices trip, the DRIVE READY light will go OFF.
Push the Fault Reset button on the iBox and the READY light will turn ON again after a few sec­onds (if there is no fault in the System 12 SCR Drive).

Calibrating Actual Car Speed (System 12 SCR Drive)

Car speed settings on the Configuration > Drive > General tab may be used to make initial
adjustments to car speed if necessary.

If iLand and iLink are already installed, use the landing system speed (Speed/Actual on the
Operational Status tab) as the speed reference for calibration. If not, use a hand-held tachome­ter.

1. If you are using a hand-held tachometer, hold it against the hoist or governor rope on
the machine. The car must run at the commanded inspection speed. (iView: Configura­tion > Pattern > Modes tab/Inspection - High speed). If the measured inspection speed
(actual speed) does not match the commanded value, verify the following:

2. Verify that Pattern scaling is set to 100% (Configuration > Pattern > Common tab).

Analog Tachometer

1. If the job uses an analog tachome­ter, set the Scaling parameter (Con­figuration > Drive > General tab >
Speed Reference section) to an ini­tial value of 1.000.

2. Display the Virtual Oscilloscope
(View > Diagnostics > Virtual Oscil­loscope).

3. Set Test point 1 = Pattern (Com­mand) and Test point 2 - Speed
Feedback.

4. Run the car and verify that the Pattern (Command) and Speed
Feedback (Test point 1 and 2 traces) are the same amplitude.
On the iView oscilloscope (or a DVM connected between STP1
and STP2), compare Pattern Command and Speed Feedback
readouts. They must match within 0.050 VDC while the car is
running at steady state speed. If not, adjust the TACH ADJ
trimpot (upper right corner of iBox). The iPower Box door can
be opened slightly to improve access to the TACH ADJ. trim­pot. Turn the pot slowly. This is a 15 turn trimpot, but the
adjustment from maximum to minimum on the virtual oscil­loscope is less than 1/2 turn.

If the trimpot adjustment is insufficient, adjust the Scaling parameter
(Drive > General tab > Speed Reference section) up or down in 0.1 incre­ments (remember to Send the value to the controller) and again adjust the
TACH ADJ. trimpot.

(Digital) Encoder

1. Adjust the Rotational coupling ratio (Configuration > Drive > General tab) up or down in 0.1 increments until the car is running at the correct speed.

Current Limit Adjustments (System 12 SCR Drive)

This section describes making current limit adjustments for the
System 12 drive. Drive voltage and current capabilities are tai­lored to the needs of the job by placing a specific “header” in
socket U81 on the drive SCR-LGA board. The header is labele d.
For example, “HDR2407” in our example.

The first two numbers represent armature voltage; the last two
represent the armature current for which the drive is set. Only
the most significant two digits are used to represent values. For example, 24 and 07, indicate
240V and 75A respectively. Loosen the four captive screws holding the System 12 Drive cover in
place and remove the cover.

The large circuit board at the top of the drive is the SCR-LGA board. The header is approxi­mately at the top, center of the board.

• Check the header label and verify that it looks correct for the hoist motor being used on
this job. (Motor plate armature voltage and armature current labels approximately
“match” the drive header label.)

The drive header label should also match the armature voltage and current specifications shown
in the prints for the job (see Output Ratings on page -D1).

Armature Voltage Limit (System 12 SCR Drive)

• Calculate and set the Armature voltage limit for the job (Configuration > Drive > Safety
tab) using the formula: (Motor Rated Armature Voltage ÷ Displayed Header Voltage) x

100. Set the Armature voltage limit to the calculated value and Send the setting to iCon­trol. (Example: (350 ÷ 400) x 100 = 87.5, set Armature voltage limit to 87%.)

Armature Current Limit (System 12 SCR Drive)

1. Verify that the Armature current limit setting is near the default setting of 160%.

2. Run the car and observe the System 12 drive Current Limit LED. If the LED lights,
increase Armature current limit in 5% increments until the LED stays off when the car
is run. (Remember you must Send changes to iControl before they take effect.) You
should not have to go above about 180% if the car is counter-balanced correctly.

Car Response and Speed Loop Gain (System 12 SCR Drive)

Only if necessary, car response may be stiffened by increasing PID-Standard Integral error
and/or Proportional error on the Configuration > Drive > Control tab. At this point, it is only
necessary to prevent the car from sagging severely. Do not attempt fine tuning yet.

Increasing Standard Integral or Proportional gain provides stiffer response while decreasing
them dampens and loosens response. If too little Integral gain (close to 0) is used, the car will
drift when the brake is lifted and control may be sloppy during all aspects of operation, or
severely affected by varying loads. Too much Integral gain and/or Proportional gain will cause
unstable operation, violent oscillation, or overshoot. If some vibration is encountered through­out the run, increase Speed Control, Armature voltage/Dampening-speed (Configuration >
Drive > Dampening tab) by 0.01 until the oscillation stops (adding Dampening speed voltage
will add lag to the system). Integral gain must be a value greater than 0.0. Otherwise, there may
be a steady-state speed error.

Speed Loop Gains (System 12 SCR Drive)

If there is oscillation while running:

1. On the Configuration > Drive > Control tab, slowly decrease PID-Standard Proportional error and Integral error until oscillation stops. Verify the Option-Start gain (normal) is not checked.

In the following steps, adjust the response of the car to reduce empty car rollback while avoid­ing the oscillations that can occur if too much feedback is adjusted into the system. For these
adjustments, monitor Tachometer and Raw Pattern on the iView Virtual Oscilloscope.

1. The empty car may drift up due to counterweighting even when an attempt is made to
move it down. Increase PID-Standard Proportional error on the Configuration > Drive >
Control tab slowly while watching for severe overshoot or oscillations, such as rapid jig­gling or slow bobbing. If jiggling begins, decrease PID-Standard Proportional error.
While decreasing it, note a narrowing of the difference between pattern and tach signals.

2. Next, increase PID-Standard Integral error slowly. Now there will be less rollback at takeoff and the car will reach the desired speed faster. Too much Integral gain will cause a speed overshoot or a slower bobbing oscillation.

3. If the car snaps away from the floor, increase Speed pick delay 1 on the Brake > Timers tab. At this point, a little rollback is not critical as later adjustments will compensate for it.

4. Monitor the actual car motion by viewing Raw Pattern on the Virtual Oscilloscope. Posi­tive voltage should indicate the up direction and negative voltage the down direction.
While monitoring, adjust the values of PID-Standard Proportional and Integral gains to
achieve best response. For now, lea ve PID-Standard Differential Error = 0.00.

Error Compensation If oscillation or rollback is still excessive, try adjusting Error compensation on the Configuration > Drive > Control tab. The default setting for this parame-

ter is 0.250.

1. Adjust Error compensation upward in 0.250 increments, sending the new value to the controller and running the car each time to see the effect on oscillation or rollback.

The final Error compensation setting should be below 9.0. The goal here is to o btain accept able
response during Inspection operation of the elevator. Fine tuning for turnover to normal opera­tion is accomplished in Section 4 of this guide.

Following Error Margin

The Following error is used for fault detection purposes only. The Following error parameter
(Configuration > Drive > Safety tab) sets the allowed margin of deviation from commanded
speed, as a percentage. A Tach Error fault is generated when the difference between intended
pattern speed and speed feedback exceeds the Following error margin. Calibrate speed feedback
to match the intended pattern.

1. On the Configuration > Pattern > Modes tab, verify that Standard Profile/High Speed and Inspection Profile/High Speed parameters are set correctly for this job.

2. Verify that actual car speed on Inspection is equal to the Inspection High speed setting.

Please refer to “Calibrating Actual Car Speed (System 12 SCR Drive)” on page 2-62.

Verify Pattern Command and Drive Speed Feedback

1. From the View > Diagnostics menu, select Virtual Oscilloscope, and set Test point 1 = Pattern (Command) and Test point 2 = Speed Feedback.

2. Run the car on Inspection and verify that the Speed Feedback trace is following the Pat­tern (Command) trace. (If Standard Profile/High Speed, Inspection Profile/High Speed,
and actual car speed are correct, this will be the case. If not, verify and correct these set­tings.)

Set the Following Error

• Set the Following error parameter (Configuration > Drive > Safety tab). It is recom­mended to perform the Tach Error Tripping Threshold Adjustment procedure at this time.

Please refer to “Tach Error Tripping Threshold Adjustment” on page 2-68.

The default setting for the Following error parameter is 25%. For a car that has been prop­erly adjusted as described above, after performing the Tach Error Tripping Threshold Adjustment, a
Following Error setting of 10% is fairly typical. You may choose to leave the Following error parame­ter at the default setting or higher, but keep in mind that Following error is a percentage of speed. On
a 500fpm job a 25% Following Error allows a 125fpm contract speed deviation before a fault is gener­ated.

Construction Mode

Note

Tach Error Tripping Threshold Adjustment

1. On the iView Virtual Oscilloscope, set Test point 1 to Speed Feedback and Test point 2 to Tach Error Upper Limit.

2. On Inspection, run the car several times between floors in both directions. Monitor the traces and verify that the Speed Feedback and Tach Error Upper Limit traces track but remain comfortably separated.

3. Set Test point 2 to Tach Error Lower Limit.

4. On Inspection, run the car several times between floors in both directions. Monitor the traces and verify that the Speed Feedback and Tach Error Lower Limit traces track but remain comfortably separated.

5. Estimate the smallest percentage of Following error that would allow the Feedback and Limit traces to remain separated.

6. Increase the calcu­lated value by 1/2
and set Following
error to this value.
For example, if the
calculated percent­age is 6%, add that to
1/2 of 6 (3) and set
Following error to 9%. Remember to send the change to iControl.

7. Repeat steps 1 through 4, verifying that Feedback and Limit traces remain separated. If they do not, recalculate and reset Following error.

A Following error setting of 10% is fairly typical. Keep in mind that the Following error margin
is a percentage of commanded speed. On a 500fpm job a 10% Following error allows a 50fpm
deviation from contract speed before a fault is generated.

Tach Failure Calibration (System 12 SCR Drive)

1. On the iView Virtual Oscilloscope, set the test points:

• Test point 1 = Synthetic Signal

• Test point 2 = Speed Feedback.

2. On Inspection, run the car several times between floors in both directions. Monitor the traces and verify that the Speed Feedback and Synthetic Signal traces track.

3. If not, adjust Voltage

will bring the signals
closer together, reduc­ing one and increasing
the other but with far
less effect than Voltage safety calibration adjustment.)

4. Estimate the smallest percentage value that would allow the Speed Feedback and Syn­thetic Signal traces to remain separated.

5. Add 15% to 20% to the calculated value and set the Tach failure parameter to this value. For example, if the calculated percentage is 15%, add 15% to that and set Tach Failure to 30%. Remember to send the change to iControl.

Additional Adjustments and Checks

1. On the Configuration > Pattern > Common tab, set Pattern scaling to 100%.

2. On the Configuration > Pattern > Modes tab, set Inspection/High Speed to the desired value (maximum Inspection speed is 150 fpm). Set the Inspection/Low Speed to 25 fpm.

If the Terminal Switches (UNT5/DNT5) have been installed, and you wish to use the reduced
inspection speed option, you may enable it by checking Reduced inspection speed on the Con­figuration > Pattern > Modes tab. If not, you may enable Reduced Inspection speed after the
Terminal Switches are installed. (Enabling it now, without switches, would cause the car to run
at 25 fpm.)

3. Stop the car so that the car top can be accessed from the top hall door.

NOTE: Car Top Inspection operation automatically overrides Car Panel Inspection operation.

4. Run the car from the Car Top Inspection station, checking the up and down buttons and the stop switch.

5. While running the car, check clearances and door locks. When all doors are locked, remove all jumpers from door lock terminals.

6. Verify directional limit switch and final limit switch operation and position according to
page MRW1 or MRW2 of the job prints. Ideally, when the car is on Inspection operation,
the distance between the two switches should be greater than the distance required to
stop the car after the direction command is removed.

7. Verify that the brake has sufficient tension to hold the car under all conditions likely to be encountered during the installation phase.

8. You may now proceed to Section 3, Inspection Mode.
