Automatic - MCi iControl User Manual

To edit or change the mode currently assigned to the selected configuration:
1. Select the mode of operation configuration number.
2. Select the mode of operation you want enabled when the configuration is active:

• Automatic

• Balanced
• Lobby peak
• Demand Up Peak
• Demand Down Peak
Automatic
iControl will automatically determine which operating mode to use at any one time. The Auto-
matic "sub controls" allow you to fine tune the selection criteria. The "hysteresis" timer set here
affects every mode change made automatically for the selected configuration. The timer says
that, "after changing modes, it cannot change again for X minutes." This prevents rapid changes
in traffic data from forcing operating modes to change constantly (which would disrupt service
efficiency).
Lobby Peak Detection Criteria
trol to detect a need to select Lobby Peak operation.
• Allow lobby peak detection: If you want iControl to detect the need to switch to lobby peak
operation, enable this check box.
• Lobby peak loaded car detection method:
• Load weigher: iControl will automatically engage Lobby Peak mode as determined by
factoring the number of successive heavy load cars leaving the lobby with the interval
between when a car leaves the lobby and when the next lobby hall call is registered.
Uses the "Number of loaded cars to initiate lobby peak" setting.
• Car calls: iControl will automatically engage Lobby Peak based on successive cars
departing the lobby with a car call quantity equal to or greater than that set here. Uses
the "Number of car calls to consider car loaded" setting.
