The C4 Traction Controller is the state-of-the-art high-speed/high-rise controller designed for
speeds up to 1400 fpm.
1.1 Overview
The C4 Traction Controller is built to learn and adapt.
The following is a list of C4 manuals included in the C4 package:
•C4 User Manual – A detailed description of the C4 Traction Controller including step by
step procedures on how to configure the system.
• C4 Faults and Alarms – A list of faults and alarm codes, and resolutions.
• C4 Testing Procedures – Step by step procedure on how to test the C4 Traction
Controller.
•C4 Drive Startup – Describes how to setup various drives that may be used within the C4
Traction Controller. The following is a list of drives that can be used on the C4:
The controller has one or more common ground bus terminal blocks.
Figure 5: Ground Bus Terminal Blocks
The building, motor, transformer, and filter(s) must all share a common ground. This removes
ground loops, limits impedance, and routes noise into the ground.
1.4 Default Voltage Settings Prior to Installation
While Smartrise takes every measure to provide the customer with an out-of-box installation,
sometimes incomplete information leads to default values being set on equipment and voltage
settings. This is done to protect the equipment from overvoltage issues. For example, the door
operator for that job might operate at 240 VAC but if Smartrise was not provided with that
information when the job was developed, the DR breaker (door operator voltage supply) is set
to 120 VAC for safety reasons.
Verify, according to the provided drawings, that all required voltages for the existing equipment
matches the voltages set by Smartrise PRIOR to powering up the controller.
The selected menu within the menu options is shown with a *.
Figure 8: Example of Selected Menu
See http://avtanski.net/projects/lcd/ for LCD images.
2.3 24 VDC Power Source
The 24 VDC power and reference connection to ground only requires having one terminal
connected to the MR board. All other connections can be used for auxiliary sources, as needed.
Figure 9: 24 VDC Connector
2.4 Reset Buttons
There are three reset buttons.
• EQ RST – Resets a seismic fault due to an earthquake.
• EBRK RST – Clears faults that require an emergency brake and the fault is latching, for
example, governor and unintended movement.
Figure 10: Reset Switches
2.5 Drive Communication
The drive communication connector is for transmitting and receiving signals to and from the
drive (the type of drive is dependent on the application) as well as triggering the Normal
Terminal Stop (NTS) operation.
Figure 11: Drive Communication Connector
RX And TX Terminals – Communication line to and from the drive. When O46 LED is lit, it
indicates the activity of the NTS signal.
Group Network (GN) Terminals – Group communication. These connections connect all the
cars together in a group setting.

2.13 Inspection Controls
ENABLE Button – Enables power to the direction commands for inspection operation. This
button must be pressed prior to issuing a direction to move on inspection.
INSPECTION Switch – Toggles between inspection and normal operation. When the MM input
signal is high and the switch is set to INSPECTION, the system is in Construction mode. If the
switch is set to NORMAL, the system is in test mode.
UP and DOWN Buttons – Moves the car either up or down on Inspection and Construction
mode.
CAR and HALL DOOR BYPASS Switches – Bypasses the hall locks and Gate switch only on CT
and IC inspection. These switches are used instead of jumpers to reduce the risk of accidentally
leaving a jumper still connected. These switches are not used in Construction mode and the
controller faults out if used any time outside CT or IC inspection.
CAPTURE Button – Captures the car when in automatic operation. Pressing the CAPTURE
button takes the car out of the group (it can no longer accept hall calls) but will continue to
service car calls. Once the car stops moving, the user can take control of the car as no one is left
inside. To activate, press and hold the CAPTURE button until the LED above the button is
flashing. When no more car calls are available, the LED turns solid and the car is captured. The
car remains in the captured state for 20 seconds and then goes back into service. For capturing
the car for a longer period, turn DIP 3A ON or put the car on inspection.

2.14 Safety Relays
The following describe the safety relays.
SFM – The force guided relay that is controlled by the main processor. The status of the relay is
monitored by both the main processor and the safety processor. When the relay is active,
contacts that are in series with SFP output voltage to the SAFE terminal are used to control the
motor contactor.
SFP – The force guided relay that is controlled by the safety processor. The status of the relay is
monitored by both the main processor and the safety processor. When the relay is active,
contacts that are in series with SFM output voltage to the SAFE terminal are used to control the
motor contactor.
EB1 – The force guided relay that is controlled by the safety processor. The status of the relay is
monitored by both the main processor and the safety processor. When the relay is active,
contacts that are in series with EB2 pass through voltage from the EBS terminal to the EB
terminal.
EB2 – The force guided relay that is controlled by the main processor. The status of the relay is
monitored by both the main processor and the safety processor. When the relay is active,
contacts that are in series with EB1 pass through voltage from the EBS terminal to the EB
terminal.
EB3 – The force guided relay that is controlled by the safety processor. The status of the relay is
monitored by both the main processor and the safety processor. When the relay is active,
contacts that are in series with EB3 pass through voltage from the EBS terminal to the EB
terminal.
EB4 – The force guided relay that is controlled by the main processor. The status of the relay is
monitored by both the main processor and the safety processor. When the relay is active,
contacts that are in series with EB1 pass through voltage from the EBS terminal to the EB
terminal.
NOTE: EB3 and EB4 are only used during preflight operation to bypass EB1 and EB2 relays so
they can be toggled without dropping the emergency brake.
The LEDs on the SRU board are either red, yellow, or green dependent upon the terminal and
status. Each color represents the following:
• Red – Indicates a fault has been detected or the board is resetting.
• Yellow – Indicates an active output terminal and alarm on the processors.
• Green – Shows power on an input terminal, power to the board, and as a “heartbeat” to

4.3 Brake Board Settings
Smartrise sets the brake pick and hold settings in the factory prior to shipping. Prior to running,
verify the data. For the default or factory set data. See the C4 Controller sheet 01 Getting
Started.
The following table lists an example of the Data Settings.

If the actual brake data is different from the specifications, use the UI menu to adjust the data
configuration. See section 4.4. Adjust Brake Using the Onboard UI.
4.4 Adjust Brake Using the Onboard UI
From the home screen of the Onboard UI, you can configure the data setting of the Brake
board.
The following is an example of how to adjust the Brake Pick Voltage.
Press the right button to access the Main Menu.
From the MAIN MENU, scroll and select Setup. See Figure 38.
The setup to run the controller in Construction mode is dependent upon the drive that is being
used. Follow the steps in the C4 Drive Startup Manual for completing the motor tune operation.
If the elevator is running at slow speed after completing all the Construction mode setup,
usually 10 fpm, then the drive is in NTSD operation and needs to be disabled while on
Construction mode.
• KEB – Set input 1 function LI04 to no function from ESD or NTS 1.
• M1000 – Verify NTSD MODE is set to EXTERNAL in the C1 menu. Set logic input 3 to NO
Prior to running on inspection operation, all connections need to be made from the MR to the
CT and CT to COP. See the C4 Controller sheet 02 Machine Room I/O, sheet 07 Traveler/Safety String, sheet 08 Car Board I/O, and sheet 09 COP Connections for wiring information.
5.1 Standard Modes of Inspection
Machine room inspection is available using the MR INSPECTION switch. The car can be run from
the UP and DOWN buttons located on the MR board. This form of inspection is overridden by
the Hoistway Access and CT inspection.
Figure 46: MR INSPECTION Switch
Car Top inspection it the highest mode of inspection and overrides all other forms of inspection.
The car is placed on CT inspection using the INSPECTION switch located on the top of the car
run box. A run can be asserted by using the enable and UP and DOWN commands from the run
box.
Hoistway Access or Inspection HA is a form of inspection used to run the car with the doors
open at a terminal landing. The Hoistway Access inputs are discretely wired back to each
controller’s MR board. To use this form of inspection, the car must be at a terminal landing.
5.2 Inspection Run Options and Adjustments
Th C4 controller uses pattern generation to conduct all runs, including inspection runs. This
means that there is an inherent ramp up to the inspection speed when beginning the run and a
ramp back to zero speed when the run is released. The inspection run options are configurable.
The following is an example of how to verify the inspection speed of the car.
Press the right button to access the Main Menu.
From the MAIN MENU, scroll and select Setup. See Figure 38.
From the SETUP menu, scroll and select Speeds.
Figure 48: SETUP Menu – Speeds
From the SPEEDS menu, select Inspection Speed.
Figure 49: SPEEDS Menu – Inspection Speed
Verify the inspection speed. The value of the inspection speed can be set from 0 to 150
fpm. If the value is set > 150 fpm, the controller will fault until the parameter is adjusted
to a value ≤ 150 fpm.
Contract Speed Tracking – The following drive adjustments are:
• F5 drive – See Drive Startup KEB for proper drive setup.
• Set parameter LS02 High Speed to the car contract speed.
• Check LC03/LC04 proportional gain vales are not set too low. Lower values (less than
1000) may result in loose control and overshoot of the command speed.
• Check LC08/LC09 Integral gain values are not set too high. High values can result in
pulsations during acceleration, deceleration, or at contract speed. Lower values
result in the speed to lag command.
• HPV900 – See Drive Startup HPV900 for proper drive setup.
• Set Contract Car SPD to the car contract speed in the A1 menu.
• Verify Contract MTR SPD in the A1 matches the motor manufacturer name plate. If
the car is traveling too fast then reduce this value, if too slow then increase it.
• Increase Inertia in the A1 menu.
• M1000 - See Drive Startup Manual M1000 for proper drive setup.
• Set Contract Car SPD to the car contract speed in the A1 menu.
• Verify Contract MTR SPD in the A1 matches the motor manufacturer name plate. If
the car is traveling too fast then reduce this value, if too slow then increase it.
• Increase Inertia in the A1 menu.
• DSD412 – See Drive Startup Manual DSD412 for proper drive setup.
• Set Rated Car Speed #17 to the car contract speed.
• Verify Motor RPM #11 matches the motor manufacturer name plate. If the car is
traveling faster than commanded then reduce this value, if too slow then increase it.
• Check Per-Unite Inertia #41 value is not set too low which will result in velocity
overshoot. If value is set too high, it will result in velocity undershoot.
Motor Current Limiting – If running out of motor current near the end of Acceleration becomes
a problem, as is evidenced by the AC motor current on the drive keypad during a full load UP
operation:
• F5 drive – Set parameter LC.30 Maximum Torque = 300 (3x LF.17). This will
automatically adjust the current limit.
• If this does not help, reduce the value of Acceleration. Another possibility is to decrease
the value of accel jerk out so that there is a smooth transition from maximum
acceleration to contract speed.
• Slope of Acceleration / Deceleration – Ideally, the slope of acceleration should be equal
to or slightly greater than the slope of deceleration. To get approximately equal
acceleration and deceleration speeds in a system where tracking accuracy is very good,
Acceleration can be equal to Deceleration. If tracking is less accurate, set Acceleration
greater than Deceleration to get the same effective rate of deceleration as acceleration.
Approaching the Floor – Final approach to the floor can be customized in many different ways.
If tracking accuracy is very good, you can set the following:
• Leveling speed – The desired leveling speed. A typical number is from 2 to 5.
• Leveling distance – The distance of choice. A typical number is from 1 to 2.
If ideal tracking is not obtained, begin to introduce values in the Leveling Speed and
Distance that allows for molding the shape of the last few inches of approach.
Increase in Deceleration Rate – If observing an increase of deceleration as the floor is
approached, it is generally due to inaccurate tracking.
• Improve tracking or lower the value of the Decel jerk out parameters.
6.3 Controlling Initial Start of Car Motion
Gearless application may experience rollback at the start of car motion. To control rollback at
the start of the run:
• Implement pre-torque to the system
• Make brake adjustments
• Apply synthetic speed torque
• Adjust run timers
Pre-Torque Adjustments
For jobs with the Smartrise serial load weigher device (LWD), load information can be used to
provide pre-torqueing of the motor to accommodate for load changes and prevent rollback. See
section 25.1 Calibration for calibrating the LWD.

Brake adjustment
Brake adjustments can be done to allow for rollback control using slow picking of the brake.
Increase the brake ramp time in the Brake Setup menu to allow for slow picking of the brake
and for the sheave to move under the brake. See section 4.3 Brake Board Settings to adjust the
brake.
Brake pick delay in the run timers can also be increased to allow time for the drive to hold the
car at zero speed.
Synthetic Speed Torque
Adjust the value of the MIN ACCEL Speed in the Speed menu to a value between 2 and 4 to
overcome rollback. Use this in conjunction with the brake adjustments for best ride quality. The
Min releveling speed value might also need to be adjusted. Force the car to relevel to verify no
roll back occurs during releveling operation.
Note: This speed is applied instead of 0 speed at the beginning of the run. While it will help
overcome rollback, it also causes the car to jerk forward when traveling in the direction of least
resistance.
6.4 Adjusting Run Timers
There are a variety of start and end of run timers used to maximize the quality of the run for
each car.
The table below lists the Types of Start and End Run Timers.
