Pre-Start Sequence - MCi iControl User Manual

Pre-Start Sequence

If the car is properly adjusted and running well, but the floor to floor times are not as quick as
you would like, the Pre-Start Sequence parameters (Configuration > Drive > General tab) can
be used to allow the brake and/or motor to be energized while the doors are closing, thereby
allowing the elevator to leave the floor as soon after the doors are locked as possible.
The Pre-Start Sequence options
include:
"Allow machine to be energized"
• After doors are locked
• After door position monitor is
activated
• While doors are closing:
• with motor only
• with motor and partially
picked brake
• with motor and fully picked
brake
Regardless of the option chosen, the elevator is not allowed to move before the doors are locked
and the Speed pick delay 1 timer has elapsed.
The parameters that affect the Pre-Start Sequence options are found on the Configuration >
Brake > Control tab.
The following pages include descriptions of each Pre-Start Sequence option and diagrams
showing the parameters that affect each option and the resulting sequence of operation.
Caution
Do not use Pre-Start Sequence options until drive control parameters have
been adjusted for no rollback and good control at zero speed.
