Ilink Car Top Communication - MCi iControl User Manual

iControl Description

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 opera-
tor.
• 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.
Note
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.)
