Balanced - MCi iControl User Manual

Demand Peak Detection Criteria
automatically enable demand peak operation.
• Allow demand up peak detection: Enable to allow iControl to detect demand up peak con-
ditions.
• Allow demand down peak detection: Enable to allow iControl to detect demand down peak
conditions.
• Peak detection hall call percentage volume: When the percentage of hall calls in one direc-
tion (up or down), equals or exceeds this percentage of total hall calls, iControl will select
demand peak operation in that direction. A typical setting is 75 to 80%.
• Number of floors with peak direction hall calls: When the number of floors with hall calls
in one direction (up or down) exceeds this number, iControl will select demand peak oper-
ation in that direction.
Demand Peak Options
• Non-peak hall call assignment penalty: When demand peak operation is active, hall calls
in the non-peak direction (i.e., up calls during Demand Down operation), receive lower
priority service. If both peak and non-peak direction hall calls are active, the dispatcher
compares how long each has been registered when deciding which will be assigned the
next available car. The time entered here is subtracted from the non-peak direction call
registered time, causing the peak direction call to be favored.

Balanced

traffic.
