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 breaker sized in conformance 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 250-95 or the applicable local electrical code.

Before applying power to the controller, physically check all the power resistors and other compo-

nents located in the resistor cabinet and inside the controller. Components loosened during shipment may cause damage.

For proper operation of the AC 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 ineffect ive. 2) The incomi ng power to the controlle r 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 10% 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.

What’s New

Many new features and capabilities have been added to iControl in the most recent releases. The following is a list of many of the new features:

Alternate Dispatcher - Local/Dispatcher Previously iControl included the capability for one of a group’s car controllers to assume dispatching responsibilities (Backup Dispatcher) when the Central Dispatcher is not available. With this release, any or all of the Local car controllers can be designated as an Alternate Dispatcher and can assume dispatching responsibilities for the group. In many instances a Central Dispatcher is not required. For more information see “An Overview of System Options” on page 10-4 and see “Alternate Dispatcher”

on page 10-8.

Status Bar - Controller Type The status bar, at the bottom-left of the iView window, indicates the type of controller to which iView is connected (see “iView Status Bar” on page 9-

3).

Split Bank Dispatching Split Bank operation allows some of the cars in a group to be dispatched as a separate group and to respond to hall calls from an alternate riser. For more information see “Split Bank Operation” on page 10-29.

Third Party Authorization In order to control access to iControl data, this tool is used to authorize a third party monitoring tool to connect to the iControl system (see “Management”

on page 10-31).

System I/O Status Indicators LEDs indicate the current status, On or Off, of the input and/or output at each node address (see “System I/O - Bus Tab” on page 10-60).

Per-car Hall Call Security Hall call lock out can now be applied per-car, per-floor and per-direction (see “Per-Car Lockout” on page 10-44).

Per-Passenger Car Call Security Unique car call enable passcodes may be assigned to individual passengers. Activity associated with the use of these passcodes may be viewed using iReport (see “Car Calls - Passcodes - Passenger” on page 10-49).

System - User Events Users can assign a name to an Input / User Event. Up to 10 Input / Event Names can be programmed. This event name can then be assigned to a hardware input. An event is logged, on the System Event Log, when the input is activated and again when it is deactivated (see “Configuration Tabs - User Events” on page 10-65).

System - Remote Outputs Users can configure system outputs which can be wired to an input or other device. The outputs can be turned on and off remotely via iView or iMonitor or via a timer (see “Configuration Tabs - Remote Outputs” on page 10-66).

System Event Log An Event Log has been created to record the System events (see

“Diagnostic Tabs - Event Log” on page 10-68).

Enhanced Controller Event Log An event filter has been added to the controller Event Log to allow the user to select which events are logged (see “Diagnostics - Diagnostic Out-

puts” on page 9-13). Troubleshooting Tips for each event can be displayed with the click of a

button.

Intro-3

Clear Event Log The data stored in the event logs, controller and system, can be easily cleared using the Clear all button on the event log’s button bar.

Data Trap This diagnostic tool automatically records controller data including input and output states, internal flags and parameter values (see “Controller - Safety Tests” on page 9-

152).

Hoistway Access Recall To facilitate ease of gaining hoistway access, controls have been added to allow the activation of a hoistway access switch/input to also recall the car (see

“Hoistway Access Recall” on page 9-63).

Shuttle Service The Shuttle Service option allows a local car to provide express service for a subset of the building’s floors. For more information see “Car Operation - Shuttle Service”

on page 9-84.

I/O Assertion This troubleshooting tool allows the user to bypass the current state of a terminal on an I/O board and assert a desired state (on or off) via iView (see “I/O Assert” on

page 9-102).

System I/O for Simplex and Swing Cars The inputs and outputs normally supplied to the dispatcher via the Serial Hall Call system are now available on the MIAC and MOR boards.

Controller - User Events Users can assign a name to an Input / User Event. Up to 10 Input / Event Names can be programmed. This event name can then be assigned to a hardware input. An event is logged, on the Controller Event Log, when the input is activated and again when it is deactivated (see “Configuration - Advanced - User Events” on page 9-138).

Controller - Custom Outputs Custom Outputs is an advanced feature that allows existing controller inputs, outputs and internal flags to be used in custom logic equations which can then generate controller outputs (see “Configuration - Advanced - Custom Outputs” on

page 9-139).

Rope Tension Load Weigher An additional load weighing option, which measures tension of the wire ropes, is now available for use with iControl (see “EMCO Load Weigher

Installation and Calibration” on page 5-53).

Default Configuration File The Controller and/or System default parameter settings can be saved to a configuration (.cfg) file. The default parameter values can then be loaded onto the controller (see “Saving Parameters to a Configuration File” on page 8-20).

Brake Contact Input Controls have been added to allow the polarity of the brake contact input to be set to either active high or low (see “Brake - Control Tab - Switch” on page 9-25).

TAPS Interface Controls and logic have been added to allow iControl with AC Drive to use the new Traction Auxiliary Power Supply (TAPS) (see “Car Operation - Emergency Power

Tab” on page 9-70).

Serial Drive Control An option has been added to allow iControl to communicate speed commands and receive speed feedback from the AC drive via a serial link.

Intro-4 Manual # 42-02-2222 B6, July 2010

Car Statistics iControl accumulates statistical data which can be used in maintaining the elevator. The statistics include distance traveled (odometer), power up cycles, front and rear door cycles, motion cycles, floor time, floor runs, inspection runs, auto runs and auto relevels. This data can be viewed on the iBox onboard display (Car menu), which also allows the data to be cleared.

Write Privilege Time-Out Controls have been added to the iBox OBD Mgmt menu to set the write privilege time-out time and to cancel write privilege (see “Mgmt Menu Parame-

ters” on page 7-9).

Clone Controller Data Allows the controller’s parameter settings to be saved to flash memory in order to facilitate easy field replacement of an iBox (see “Mgmt Menu Parameters”

on page 7-9).

Upgrade Wizard A special utility has been created facilitate field upgrade of iBox firmware programs.

iControl Description

iControl Function

iControl provides the modular building blocks required to efficiently address elevator installations ranging from a single car servicing only a few floors to those requiring elevator groups operating according to sophisticated dispatching functionality and servicing up to a design maximum 150 floors. In all cases, MCE can provide iControl components to support system capabilities including remote elevator controller diagnosis and support (iView), remote monitoring capabilities (iMonitor) and a system logging and report generating tool (iReport). iControl components include:

• iController enclosure containing iBox elevator controller, the motor drive, and peripherals specific to the job

• Cartop-mounted iLand precision landing system

• Cartop-mounted iLink wiring and interconnect system

•MCE Serial Hall Call system

• Dispatching — iCue dispatching allows a single group controller to accommodate up to a design maximum 20 cars and 150 floors. iCue can handle myriad dispatching configurations, enabled manually or by automation, and allow configuration of variables sufficient to meet virtually any dispatching need including multiple lobbies, intelligent hall call assignment, parking variations, and automated response to changing traffic conditions within the building. Dispatching can be configured with redundancy for protection against individual system failure or disconnect. Elevator security and emergency power operation are also important iCue capabilities.

• Graphical User Interface — The MCE iView application runs on any PC or laptop with the Windows 2000 or XP operating systems. Through a standard 10/100 Base-TX Ethernet connection, iView lets you efficiently and easily:

• View and adjust over 500 controller, motor, and brake parameters

• Copy controller configurations to files on the computer hard drive

• Send some or all parameters from a computer file to a controller

• Monitor system performance in real time

• Send car and hall calls to evaluate system response

• Configure extremely flexible dispatching behaviors

• Use the iView virtual oscilloscope to tune acceleration and deceleration patterns

• Configure elevator response to fire, earthquake or other emergency or alternative operating modes

• With internet access, connect to one controller port while MCE support technicians simultaneously connect to that same controller through a separate port for factoryassisted diagnosis or performance monitoring.

• Access and print extensive controller logs where important system events are automatically recorded

• Central Monitoring — MCE iMonitor software allows personnel at local or remote monitoring sites extensive capability to monitor and control safety and security aspects of your installation. Refer to the iMonitor manual, 42-02-S025.

• Logging and Reporting - iReport is a system logging and report generating tool that allows local or remote analysis of iControl elevator groups from a personal computer running the iReport client software. Because iControl dispatchers are Ethernet capable, you can use iReport to connect to them through a local area network or remotely through internet/ modem technology. Refer to the iReport manual, 42-02-S026.

iControl provides the latest in integrated digital elevator control. iControl brings premium performance to elevators using AC motors. Controller parameters can be easily adjusted using MCE iView software running on any Windows 2000 or better personal computer. All parameters can be saved to a file on your computer hard drive, providing a secure archive. iView even allows you to work “offline” in a saved controller file and easily write that data to a controller later.

The sophisticated iControl distance and velocity feedback system is continuously aware of exact car position and speed. The 32-bit processor provides smooth pattern generation for any application— easily accommodating irregularities like short floors. Each iControl includes:

•The iBox, including onboard diagnostics

•Flux Vector Drive

iControl Description

Easy Installation

iControl is designed to make installation and adjustment as simple as possible. Before shipment, each controller is carefully tested against specific job requirements. iControl is shipped from MCE with preset, default adjustment values that generally require little additional adjustment.

Detailed MCE job prints, specifically engineered for each installation, provide connection-byconnection instruction for mechanics and electricians. Elevator adjusters will find that iControl has the intelligence to automatically “learn” many previously tedious, adjuster-intensive operations including:

• All floor heights to within 0.0469” (1.191mm)

• All Normal and Emergency Terminal switch positions

• High-current brake modulation across the calibration range

• Empty and full car, analog load weigher values at every landing served

• Elevator safety device configuration

• Hoist motor control across the calibration range

iControl makes specific code-compliance as easy as possible too, providing automated fire and earthquake presets for:

• A17.1 (1996 and 2000)

•Title 8

•New York

•Nebraska

•Chicago

•CSA B44-00

•Australia

If necessary for specific job requirements, adjusters have access to detailed, decision-making adjustments within the compliant defaults for various jurisdictions.

iBox Inputs and Outputs

The iBox is the processing core of iControl. Most of the controller field wiring connects directly to the iBox or to expansion boards plugged into buses at the top and bottom of the iBox. These field connections are primarily along the left side of the iBox (when facing it). Connections to other iControl components (i.e., braking control, motor drive, Ethernet, serial, etc.) are primarily along the right edge of the iBox.

Connections to the iBox are all on pluggable connectors. Serial, Ethernet, and Serial Hall Call connections on the right side of the iBox are primarily pre-molded cable assemblies with “D” or RJ-45 connectors. Connections on the left side of the iBox (position encoder, cartop link, codemandated car, limit, hoistway, and other field connections) are also pluggable — primarily individual conductors, terminated and locked into connectors that plug into mating connectors on the iBox.

Field wiring (wiring completed by the installer) is addressed in Sections 2 and 3 of this guide. The illustration below is only intended to provide an overview of the inputs and outputs to the iBox. A description of every input and output is in Section 11.

iControl Description

AC Flux Vector Drives

The AC Drive control uses flux vector technology. Flux vector technology (sometimes referred to as Field Oriented Control) is a closed loop scheme using an algorithm to adjust the frequency and phase of the voltage and current applied to a three phase induction motor to produce maximum torque from base speed down to and including zero speed. The illustration below shows examples of the TorqMax drives used in MCE iControl AC systems.

iLink Car Top Communication

The iLink car top system:

• Provides power to keep the Car Top Processor and Landing System operational during a power failure until the car comes to a stop, thereby retaining car position information.

• Sends landing System quadrature, door zone, and gate switch status information to the iBox.

• Sends load weigher information to the iBox.

• Sends Car Operating Panel status to the iBox.

• Receives door open/close commands from the iBox and provides them to the door operator.

• Prevents the doors from opening unless car speed is within acceptable limits.

• Provides a communication link to the iBox for other optional car inputs and outputs, e.g., rear door signals and talking and visual position indicators.

• Optional: Relays serial signals between Car Operating Panel and iBox.

An insulator is installed to disconnect the microprocessor/memory battery to prevent it from running down during storage or shipment. During installation, remove the insulator to activate the battery. (An insulator on the microprocessor/memory battery in the iControl cabinet must also be removed prior to running the controller.)

General Field Inputs to Dispatcher

The iCue dispatching software runs either on a central dispatcher (iCentral), which is a dedicated PC or embedded micro controller, or on a Local/Dispatcher, which is an iController (iBox) that performs both the car control and dispatching functions. Please refer to “An Over-

view of System Options” on page 10-4. The iCentral option is used for the most demanding

installations. iCue dispatching features include:

• Design maximum 150 floors and 20-car group.

• Use artificial intelligence to adapt to and anticipate changing traffic demands.

• Allow users to define up to eight independent configurations each to control Hall Call Eligibility, Parking Assignment, Parking Eligibility, and Operating Mode — and to independently assign control of those configurations across as many as 100 automated timers (timers not yet implemented).

• Use parallel processing to continuously and simultaneously evaluate multiple dispatching scenarios, ensuring that every decision maximizes efficiency.

• Use a dedicated 100 Megabaud network to efficiently handle large data loads.

• Provide an intelligent parking system that allows users to define automated or hybrid operation.

• Support the SmartLINK hall call system, MCE-ready fixtures, and predictive hall-call gong service.

General Field Inputs to Dispatcher

Local/Dispatcher

Beginning with the December 2006 Release, in addition to performing car control functions, iControllers can assume full dispatching responsibilities for a group of elevators. MCE uses the term Local to refer to an individual car that is part of a group, hence the term Local/Dispatcher. One or more Local cars can be designated as an Alternate Dispatcher, meaning that they can act as a backup for a central dispatcher or as one of several potential dispatchers for a group that has no central dispatcher. An iController that is currently performing the dispatching functions is called the Local/Dispatcher.

Like iView, iMonitor central monitoring software can be installed on any Windows XP compatible personal computer. Through an on-site Local Area Network or remotely through the World Wide Web, iMonitor allows users to immediately gather status from and monitor the performance and safety of any i product elevator installation to which they have been granted access, anywhere in the world.

iMonitor:

• Provides local or remote viewing and control of elevator groups.

• Provides a graphical representation of elevator groups, allowing their activity and status to be quickly and easily viewed.

• Provides remote control. The user may register car and hall calls, control many group security functions, and enable or disable certain elevator operating modes.

IREPORT Logging and Report Generating

iReport is a system logging and report generating tool that allows local or remote analysis of iControl elevator groups from a personal computer running the Windows XP operating system and iReport client software. Because iControl dispatchers are Ethernet capable, you can use iReport to connect to them through a local area network or remotely through internet/modem technology.

System Description

iReport consists of the iReport server and iReport clients. iControl dispatchers may be connected to iReport directly through a local area network or they may be connected remotely through a DSL or other high-speed ethernet connection and the internet. The dispatcher provides iReport with hall call and car operating mode information. The individual car controllers provide iReport with event and fault notifications.

You connect to and use iReport through the iReport client program on your PC. The block diagram below illustrates a possible system interconnection. Various local and remote connections are possible depending upon system requirements.

Figure 1.12 iReport Simplified Block Diagram

1-22 Manual # 42-02-2222

Optional Load Weighing System

iControl uses load weighing information to make intelligent dispatching decisions. If the load weight is very light, the controller can be programmed to limit the number of car calls allowed (anti-nuisance). The controller can be programmed so that at a certain load weight the lobby landing door timer is reduced, thereby initiating the process of moving the car out of the lobby. When the load weight exceeds a pre programed value, the controller can be instructed to b ypass hall calls. And, if the load weight exceeds a predefined maximum, above which it is considered unsafe to move the elevator, the controller can prevent movement. This application typically includes a visual or audible warning to the passengers that the elevator is overloaded.

MCE has three load weigher options:

• Rope Tension (LW-EMCO) from EMCO - measures the tension of the elevator’s wire ropes (see “EMCO Load Weigher Installation and Calibration” on page 5-53).

• Isolated Platform (LW-MCEIP) - measures the movement of the car’s isolated platform and can only be used for elevators with isolated platform cars (see “MCE Load Weigher”

on page 5-63).

• Cross Head Deflection (from K-Tech International) - measures the deflection of the cross head beam.

Danger

Before You Begin

Review the following warnings and become familiar with this manual section before beginning work.

This equipment contains voltages of up to 1000V, rotating motor parts, and driven machinery. The combination of high voltage and moving parts 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. Please observe the following:

• 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, caused by improper control operation, 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 whenever AC power is applied, even if the motor is not rotating.

• BEFORE BEGINNING WORK, read these instructions all the way through to become familiar with the procedures. Proceed cautiously. These instructions assume adequate electrical troubleshooting experience. Follow the procedures carefully and, if the elevator does not respond correctly, check the circuits and 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 installed. 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/Safety screen or iBox/Controller Setup/Safety/ Construction Mode) 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.

Construction Mode

Machine Room Preparation

When preparing the machine room for elevator controller installation, consider:

•Equipment location

• Machine room environment

• Ethernet and internet access

Equipment Location

When choosing equipment location, consider:

• 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 fluctuation should not be greater than ±10%.

2-4 Manual # 42-02-2222

Ethernet and Internet Considerations

iControl takes maximum advantage of the reliability and remote support benefits afforded by Ethernet and internet technologies. The iBox supports three Ethernet connections:

• The #3 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 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 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

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.

Controller Cabinet Installation

Note

Caution

It is very important that you 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.

Controller Cabinet Installation

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 controlle r. If 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.

The following diagram provides a general overview of component and connection locations inside iControl. Because circuit boards in iControl are connected along a common bus, they may be arranged differently or different boards may be used in different installations. Therefore, specific connections might be in a location other than the one shown. This is only a general overview. This is only a general overview.

Peripheral Inputs and Outputs

In every installation, there are different requirements for accepting inputs from or providing outputs to various kinds of peripheral equipment. The i product line handles this generic need using ICE-MIAC boards for inputs and ICE-MOR boards for outputs.

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 -2 — 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 -2 — 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 installer wires 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 wiring materials and methods must be used. Grounding must conform to all applicable codes. Proper grounding is essential for system safety and helps to reduce noise-induced problems.

General grounding guidelines include:

• The grounding wire to the equipment cabinet should be the same gauge (diame ter) or larger than the primary AC power feeders for the controller and should be as short as possible.

• 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 (Common) bus 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 gr ound are discove red, re-engage the fuses. Refer to the job prints for fuse location if necessary.

AC Voltage Verification and Wiring

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 in 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.

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

Most iControl AC installations use an iField Brake Module to provide selective voltages to precisely control brake picking, brake hold, brake application, and brake timing. In these cases, the job print details for AC input wiring from the transformer may include auxiliary connections specifically for the brake input power connections. 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. Verify that AC supply is as specified.

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 dis connec t or breaker to the drive isolation transformer.

2. If the car is part of a group, the cars in the group must also 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 connecting 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. If an isolation transformer is used, connect AC supply wiring to the transformer, and transformer outputs to the controller, as shown in the job prints. If required, the prints will detail auxiliary power connections for the brake iField module.

4. If no isolation transformer is used, connect AC supply wiring to the controller as shown in the job prints.

2-18 Manual # 42-02-2222

Initial Controller Power Up

Caution

Note

NOT FUNCTIONAL

After AC power is connected, you are ready to temporarily power up the controller and check to see that power buses inside the controller cabinet are providing their 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 a nd 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.

AC Voltage Verification and Wiring

The controller microprocessor board has battery backup for logic retention. An insulator prevents the battery from discharging during shipment. Remove the insulator now if has not already been done.

2. Power up the controller. The system will take about sixty seconds to boot.

3. If the controller fails to power up, refer to the job prints and check supply connections and fuses.

Inside the controller cabinet, 120VAC and 110VDC output buses are presented at the lower left corner of the iBox as shown in the illustration below.

4. Measure from any #2 bus terminal to a Common (#1) terminal and verify 120VAC (+/10%).

AC Hoist Motor, Brake, and Velocity Encoder

This section contains instructions for:

• Checking the hoist motor for insulation breakdown or short to ground

• Wiring the hoist motor to the controller

• Verifying iField module or low-current brake resistance and wiring the brake

• Installing the velocity encoder

Checking the Hoist Motor

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

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 elevator operation.

3. A minimum insulation resistance of 100k Ohms is required.

4. Correct any insulation problems before proceeding with installation. 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.

It is very important that AC motor wires be kept separate from control wires both inside and outside the controller cabinet. The encoder or tachometer wiring must use a separate grounded conduit. Use a shielded power cable between the motor drive and the AC Motor stator connections to reduce RFI/EMI noise (Siemens Protoflex - EMV or equivalent). The shield must be terminated to earth ground at both ends. Keep the AC power wiring separate from the control wires.

1. Refer to drawing -D1 in the job prints. This drawing shows the AC drive and connections to rotating equipment.

2. Make connections as shown in the job prints. Be certain to follow any schematic notes regarding wire sizes and any specific motor wiring connections.

RB is a large, ceramic resistor with a center tap.

Loosen and slide the center-tap ring to change resistance.

RB is in this area Additional resistors may be used

Verifying Brake Current Resistance

High current brake systems use a brake (iField) module to control the brake.

1. With the brake leads disconnected from the controller, measure resistance through the brake coil.

2. Inside the controller cabinet, locate the screws, one at the top and one at the bottom right corner of the iPower box (the enclosure the iBox is mounted to). Turn the screws counter-clockwise to their stops and open the enclosure (it is hinged on the left).

3. Refer to job print drawing D2. Toward the right-top of the enclosure, locate the large ceramic resistor labeled RB.

4. Check the resistance across RB. As an initial working value, RB resistance should be about three times (3 X) the resistance measured across the brake coil.

During adjustment, the resistance across RB may be further adjusted to achieve smooth setting of the brake. Too little resistance causes the brake to remain picked for too long. Refer to your job prints for instructions.

5. If necessary, adjust RB resistance by loosening and sliding the center-tap up or down. When the resistance is correct, retighten the center tap.

Velocity Encoder Installation and Wiring

The velocity encoder reports hoist motor speed to the controller. 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 place the encoder or its wiring close to a magnetic field (the motor or brake coils). Magnetic fields can induce AC into the encoder signal. This can cause the Drive to miscount, producing erratic control at lower speeds.

The 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. Some cables, like the EnDat encoder cable, require a one inch or larger conduit due to the size of the connector.

Encoder Mounting

The following illustration shows two typical encoder installations.

Figure 2.7 Typical Encoder Installations

2-24 Manual # 42-02-2222

AC Hoist Motor, Brake, and Velocity Encoder

Caution

It is very important that the encoder does not slip, wobble , 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 grounds 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 measured value must be “infinite” for complete isolation.

Encoder Wiring

A shielded cable with an appropriate connector at the encoder end is provided. Please refer to

“Encoder Cables” on page 2-26. 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.

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

2. Route the cable through a separate conduit to the controller cabinet. Inside the controller cabinet, if the encoder wires must cross power wires, they must cross at right angles to reduce the possibility of interference.

3. Connect the controller end of the cable to the TORQMAX F5 drive as shown in the job prints.

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 (see also caution below).

The cable supplied with the Heidenhain ENC1313 EnDat encoder must not be altered, cut or shortened. Therefore, a 1.5 inch conduit is required to accommodate the cable connector.

Permanent magnet (PM) AC Gearless Machines must by synchronized with the AC Drive. Please refer to PM Synchronous Motors > Motor Data and Loading motor data from encoder in the Initial Start Up section of the TORQMAX F5 drive manual.

Basic Safety String and Associated Wiring

Note

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. Depending upon your installation, you may not have the exact switches described here. The job prints for your installation accurately show the safety string elements at your site. In any event, 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 Bypass Jumper and

Fuses” on page 7-13 for 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 cartop box is not yet installed, it will need to 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.

2. Wire the hoistway safety string switches as shown.

Temporary CTS Relay Bypass

Because the iLink cartop interconnect box which contains the Cartop Safety (CTS) Relay is not yet installed, it is necessary to bypass the CTS relay temporarily (for Construction Mode only). (If you in fact are installing the iLink cartop box already, please refer to the iLink instructions in Section 3 of this guide.)

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).

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 “Installing iView” 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 iControl 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.

Direct (no hub) connection to PC only

Connection through hub or router only. 2 port is for MCE equipment (elevator and group controllers). 1 port is for Local Area Network connection.

Direct Connections

Unless a Local Area Network (Ethernet) hub has already been installed, you will find it easiest to connect a PC to the iBox using the #3 PC port on the iBox (direct connection). To make a direct connection:

1. Connect the iView PC to the controller 3=PC port using only a standard Ethernet cable. (Do not connect the #3 port through a hub or router.)

Figure 2.11 Ethernet Cable and iBox Ethernet Ports

The iBox #3 Ethernet port address, gateway, and mask are set to default values by MCE. If you have 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 intended to help a first-time user make a direct Ethernet connection between a PC and the iBox.

Learning the Safety Configuration

The controller is set to match the job safety configuration, according to the job survey, before being shipped. 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 Setup > 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.
