iControl DC Shaping the Speed Profile 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 118: Profiles
Final Adjustment Profiles There are eight programmable profiles addressed on the Pattern Screen: • Standard - used under normal operating conditions. Unless otherwise specified, sug- gested profile parameter adjustments are assumed to refer to Standard profile parameters. • Earthquake - used if an earthquake is detected by the elevator system during normal operation (EQI input activated).

Page 134 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 135 iControl 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.
