Page 40: Peripheral Inputs And Outputs
In every installation, there are different requirements for accepting inputs from or providing outputs to various kinds of peripheral equipment. iControl handles this generic need using ICE- MIAC input boards, ICE-MOR output boards, and ICE-COP and SC-ION serial I/O boards.
Page 41 DC Controller Cabinet Installation Input/Output Terminals Input/Output assignment may be changed in the iView application but, the job prints specify, and the system is shipped supporting, a logical configura- tion. For example, the #1 floor button in the car operating panel is connected to the #1 input to the cartop ICE-MIAC board.
Page 42: Equipment Grounding
Construction Mode Equipment Grounding For good grounding, quality materials and methods must be used. Grounding must conform to all applicable codes. Proper grounding is essential to safety and reduces noise-induced prob- lems: • Provide equipment grounding in accordance with NEC Article 250 and/or the local electri- cal code, as applicable.

Page 44: Check For Shorts To Ground
Construction Mode Check for Shorts to Ground Check for shorts to ground before powering up the system. Power must be OFF at the main disconnect. If any shorts to ground are discovered, they must be corrected before proceeding. A short to ground is defined as having a resistance of less than 20 ohms between the 1 bus (Common) and the terminal being tested.
Page 45: Ac Voltage Verification And Wiring
AC Voltage Verification and Wiring AC Voltage Verification and Wiring Instructions in this section describe wiring from commercial power to iControl. Most of the technical information is in the MCE job prints and referenced here as necessary. As shown in the job prints, an isolation transformer may be used to clean up “dirty”...
Page 46: Verifying Main Line Power And Wiring The Controller
Construction Mode Verifying Main Line Power and Wiring the Controller 1. Consult the job prints. Check the line side of the main disconnect to see that all three legs are at the correct voltage. Compare this voltage with the primary voltage on the data plate for the drive isolation transformer (must be within 10% of this value).
Page 47: Initial Controller Power Up
DC AC Voltage Verification and Wiring Initial Controller Power Up After AC power is connected, temporarily power up the controller and check to see that power buses inside the controller cabinet are providing proper outputs. Caution This procedure assumes that no field wiring has been connected to the controller. If field wiring has been connected, disconnect it before beginning this procedure.
Page 48 Construction Mode 2. Power up the controller. The system will take about 60 seconds to boot. 3. If the controller fails to power up, refer to the job prints and check supply connections and fuses. Inside the controller cabinet, 120VAC and 110VDC output buses are presented at the lower left corner of the iBox as shown in the illustration below.

Page 50: Verifying Brake Current Resistance
Construction Mode Verifying Brake Current Resistance High current brake systems use a brake (iField) module. 1. With brake leads disconnected from the controller, measure resistance through the brake coil. 2. Inside the controller cabinet, locate the screws, one at the top and one at the bottom right corner of the iPower box (the enclosure the iBox is mounted to).
Page 51: Wiring The Brake
DC DC Hoist Motor, Brake, and Encoder/Tachometer Wiring the Brake • Refer to job print drawing D2. Connect brake wires to terminals B1 and B2 located just below the iPower box. Note Brake wires must not be routed in the same conduit with DC motor wires or velocity encoder wires.
Page 52 Construction Mode Typical Tachometer Mounting The following illustration shows a typical tachometer mounting arrangement. Mounting without a hinged assembly is all right as long as the tach wheel can be turned by hand at any point in the machine rotation and does not become too loose or too tight at any point.
Page 53 DC DC Hoist Motor, Brake, and Encoder/Tachometer Tachometer Wiring Note The tachometer wiring must use a separate grounded conduit. Inside the controller cabinet, if control wires must cross power wires, they must cross at right angles to reduce the possibility of interference.
Page 54: Velocity Encoder Installation And Wiring
Construction Mode Velocity Encoder Installation and Wiring (If you are using a tachometer, please see the preceding topic.) The encoder must be mounted and wired according to the drawings. When installed, the encoder must be electrically isolated from the motor or any other ground. (Resistance between the encoder casing and the motor or other ground should be “infinite.”) Do not mount the encoder or its wiring close to a magnetic field (the motor or brake coils).
Page 55 DC DC Hoist Motor, Brake, and Encoder/Tachometer Encoder Isolation The encoder housing must be electrically isolated from the machine (ground). To check this: 1. Measure the resistance between the encoder case and the frame of the motor. The mea- sured value must be “infinite”...
Page 56: Basic Safety String And Associated Wiring
Construction Mode Basic Safety String and Associated Wiring This section contains wiring instructions for basic safety string switches (in Construction Mode, before the iLink cartop interconnect is installed). A safety string is essentially a number of nor- mally-closed switches connected in series such that, should any one of the switches open, power to the motor and brake will immediately drop to stop the car.
Page 57: Temporary Cts Relay Bypass
1. Refer to the job prints (MRW- machine room wiring sheets). 2. Connect the rope gripper to iControl RG1, RG2, RG5, and RG7 terminals as shown. Temporary Rope Gripper Bypass If a Rope Gripper will be installed later, you may temporarily bypass the input by installing a jumper between RG5 and RG7.

Page 84: Manually Adjusting Motor Field Gains — Closed Loop (Scr)
Construction Mode Manually Adjusting Motor Field Gains — Closed Loop (SCR) Note These manual adjustments are almost never necessary. They are useful only in instances of extremely poor motor field response. If, after calibration and settings checks are complete, there are still performance issues, e.g. the drive Current Limit LED lights at the beginning and/or end of runs or you feel spotting (hesita- tion) coming into a floor, the hoist motor response to control inputs may not be rapid enough.
Page 85: Brake Calibration
DC Drive Startup (System 12 SCR Drive) Brake Calibration This section describes brake calibration for DC systems using the iField Module advanced brak- ing system. The iField module electronically controls brake voltage output. Rollback Compensation In later adjustments, drive and motor settings will be adjusted to control rollback. Since that has not yet been done, we need to control rollback by adjusting Brake Pick Delay and offsetting Speed pick delay 1 so that the brake remains set until the motor builds sufficient torque.

Page 164: Profile Parameters
Final Adjustment Profile Parameters • Initial jerk - defines the transition from zero speed to full acceleration. As Initial jerk increases, the profile transitions more quickly from starting to maximum acceleration. Values typically range from 4.0 to 8.0 ft/s (1.219 to 2.438 m/s ) with higher values result- ing in a sharper start.
Page 165: Profiles

Final Approach and Leveling Observe elevator operation by watching the hoist motor and observing car response on iBox test point STP1 to GND (with the Virtual Oscilloscope Test point 1 parameter = Speed Feedback).
Page 178 Final Adjustment • Dead zone - The purpose of the dead zone is to ensure that the elevator stops at the same point whether approaching a particular floor from above or below. The dead zone is a soft- ware-defined area at a floor, typically 0.25 inches (6 mm) to 0.75 inches (18 mm) in height.
Page 179 DC Adjusting Leveling and Final Stop • Brake Coordination for Smooth Stops - Proper operation and setting of the brake is very important to achieve a smooth stop: 1. Before starting, the brake must be operating properly. Geared machine brakes are usu- ally very simple, however, the brake on a gearless machine requires detailed adjustment to obtain proper operation.

Page 216: Icontrol Ethernet Overview
System Options iControl Ethernet Overview iControl uses two distinct Ethernet networks: • The MCE System hub/switch connects iCentral to other MCE equipment like the elevator controllers, Serial Hall Call systems, and input/output expansion boards (SC-ION boards). • The LAN hub/switch connects iCentral and elevator controllers to a PC running the MCE iView application (used to configure both iCentral and iControls).
Page 217: System Tcp/Ip
TCP/IP communications between connected devices are correctly connected. • iControls: Each car in the group is under the primary direction of its own iBox/iControl. iCue communicates with all the iControls in its group through the System TCP/IP bus.
Page 218: System Hub/Switch
System Options System Hub/Switch The System hub/switch connects iCue to the iControls in its group, to Serial Hall Call drivers through SC-HCE- ME modules, and to SC-ION input/output expansion boards. The Serial Hall Call and input/output expansion board connections are completed at the factory before the system is shipped and need only be checked to make certain they are in place.

DC iControl Ethernet Overview LAN Hub/Switch 1. Connect the group and car controllers and the iView PC to the LAN hub/switch as shown in the illustration below and in the MCE job prints. The job prints are the con- trolling document.
Page 220: External Connections
System Options External Connections As indicated in the LAN hub/switch connection illustration, the elevator group may be con- nected to larger area networks in the building or, through T1, DSL, or dial-up modems, to remote sites via phone lines or the Internet. These kinds of connections are necessary if remote iView or iMonitor access is required.
Page 221: Tcp/Ip Reference
DC iControl Ethernet Overview TCP/IP Reference An Ethernet network is basically several computers (or smart equipment with a computer inside — like the iBox or iCue) all connected together at a single point (the hub/switch) so they can communicate with each other. In order for a message from one computer to reach the com- puter (or iCue/iBox) it wants to talk to, all the computers connected to the network have to have their own unique address.

Page 262: Calibration
System Options Calibration Manual Calibration with Weights The Calibration with Weights procedure is the most accurate and recommended method of cal- ibrating the EMCO Load Weigher. This procedure allows the EMCO control unit to do the fol- lowing: • Learn the empty weight of the car and set this weight as the zero reference (the analog voltage output from the control unit will be about zero volts at this weight).
Page 263: Auto-Zero Calibration
7. With the full load of weights in the car, using a digital multimeter, measure the voltage at terminals 0-10v and Com on the control unit. It should be approximately 8 volts. Note the exact value. 8. Proceed to Final Calibration with iControl on page 5-58.
Page 264: Final Calibration With Icontrol
System Options Final Calibration with iControl 1. Connect the multimeter to test points TP_LW and GND on the ICE-CTP board inside the cartop Box. Adjust trimpot LW ADJ until the multimeter reads the same as the value noted in step 8.
Page 265: Installation With 2 To 1 Roping
(see Load Weigher Adjustment for Dispatching in Section 4. 6. iControl needs to learn the empty and full load weights at every landing available to this car. This is a semi-automated process (see Learning Load Values in Section 4.
Page 266: Verifying The Zero Calibration (Empty Car Weight)
System Options Verifying the zero calibration (empty car weight) It is recommended to verify the zero calibration if: 1. When working with new ropes, the calibration may change slightly as the ropes settle. After the first 30 days of operation it is recommended to check the empty car weight, with the car in the middle of the hoistway, using the display on the EMCO Load Weigher.
Page 267: Mce Load Weigher
DC MCE Load Weigher MCE Load Weigher The MCE Load Weigher is designed for use with isolated platform elevator cars. The accuracy of the load weigher depends on the condition of the rubber isolation pads. If they are old, cracked or hard, the performance of the load weigher will suffer.
