Mode of Operation

Use these controls to create or edit up to eight Mode of operation configurations. Each configu-
ration, when active, determines and defines the dispatching mode. The currently active configu-
ration can be selected manually (Dispatching > Configuration tab) or by timer table.
Select a Configuration
• Select a mode of operation configuration to edit/create (1 — 8). Screen information will
automatically update when a configuration is selected.
Mode of Operation
Specifies the dispatching mode to be used when the selected configuration is active. The options
are:
• Automatic: The dispatching mode (Balanced, Demand Up Peak, or Demand down peak) is
automatically selected depending on building demands.
• Balanced: Selects balanced dispatching, favoring neither up nor down traffic.
• Lobby Peak: Favors lobby traffic (not applicable to simplex operation).
• Demand up peak: Typically used during morning arrival when demand is predominantly
in the up direction. The controller keeps track of bypassed call demands, which occur
when the car becomes heavily loaded, and manages call assignments to ensure that no
calls are ignored due to heavy loads.
• Demand down peak: Typically used during afternoon departure when demand is predom-
inantly in the down direction. The controller keeps track of bypassed call demands, which
occur when the car becomes heavily loaded, and manages call assignments to ensure that
no calls are ignored due to heavy loads.
