Local/Dispatcher - MCi iControl User Manual

iControl Description

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 func-
tions is called the Local/Dispatcher.
