1 Requirements
Starting up of the WWOVF Drive - System should be performed only by authorisizied
personal!
The mechanical works of hoistway and cabine as well as the electrical installation in the
hoistway, controller and E&I Panel have to be finished to ensure inspection run.
The encoder have to be mounted at the machine and properly connected to the MCB.

2 First Inspection run

2.1 Checking of voltages and inputs

1) Switch the unit to ERO operation.
2) Switch on the main switch.
3) Check the power supply 110VAC (P1.8) and HL1 connection (P1.7) according to the
wiring diagram.
4) Check that the following inputs/outputs of the MCB have the correct voltage of 24VDC:
P4.8 (24V - output)
P4.7 (DBD - signal) in each case against P4.9 (HL2)

2.2 Check the CAN Bus

The MCB, TCBC and SPBC boards are communicating via a serial bus, the CAN bus. The
MCB gets its commands from the TCBC via the CAN bus. Note that MCB service tool
communication is only possible via SPBC plug and CAN-bus link.

Check the CAN LED on the MCB. This LED shows the following states:
LED off: CAN bus not working
LED blinking: CAN bus working

If the CAN bus does not work, the hardware connection has to be checked:
P6 Pin1 : VRS 30Vdc
P6 Pin2 : CAN_H
P6 Pin3 : CAN_L
P6 Pin4 : HL2

2.2 Fundamental Parameter Set up

Connect a service tool to the SPBC and establish connection to the MCB3.

Normally all parameters are factory-preadjusted. To run the car in ERO- or INS-Mode only
an Encoder Adjustment (see section below) has to be performed. For operation in "normal
mode" a Learn Run has to be performed before (see section below).

Check the Status display on the service tool (M - 1 - 1). Only if there more events than
"M C: Encodr adj?" displayed you have to check especially the contract parameters.

2.2.1 Contract Parameters (M - 3 - 1)

Adjust all contract parameters (M - 3 - 1) as described in "Service Tool Manual"; section
"Setup parameters".

2.3 Encoder adjustment

The encoder adjustment has to be performed before the first (inspection) run.
The encoder has to be connected to plug P5 on MCB_III (a separate connector for this en-
coder type only). Check if the parameter Encodertype is properly set to 4.

The safety chain must normally be closed to perform the encoder adjustment. If this would
be possible only in ERO mode (e.g. open OS or UDLS contact) the encoder adjustment can
also be done in ERO mode (press UIB or DIB instead of switching to NOR; see below).
No passengers in car are allowed during encoder adjustment.
The adjustment is started in SVT menu ”EncAdj” (M – 4 – 2):

wait NOR/UIB/DIB switch to ”NORMAL” on ERO-Box

If this is not possible: press UIB or DIB

Switch to ERO switch on ”ERO” on ERO-Box

Release UIB/DIB

To start encoder press <ENTER> on Service Tool

adj. press ENTER

Switch NOR or switch back to ”NORMAL” on ERO-Box

press UIB/DIB If this is not possible: press UIB or DIB

Adjusting... The car starts with the adjusting procedure.

The adjusting is finished after approx. 20 sec.

When the adjustment has finished successfully,

Adjusting... Switch back to ERO or release UIB / DIB
Switch to ERO to prevent the car from running immediately
after adjusting.

Adjust finished Adjustment has finished w/o any error.

successfully The drive is now ready for any run.

Adjustment was aborted by an error condition

Adjust aborted! (see error message xxxxxxx).
xxxxxxx After solving the possible problem the
adjustment has to be started over again.

After success the operation in INS/ERO mode should be possible now.

2.4 Check of Direction

After setting the contract parameters and encoder adjustment you should check the run
direction with the ERO-Buttons.
For INS- or ERO- operation the MCB needs the input signals UIB or DIB (M – 1 – 2 –
GOON).
By pushing of UIB- or DIB-buttons the motor should start.
The main contactors SW and BR will be activated. The activation is done by the MCB in
conjunction with UP- or DOWN- signals if the safety chain is closed. At the same time the
DBD-input will be inactive.
The status of the drive can be controlled via Service Tool (M – 1 – 1).

If the run direction is not the same as the wanted direction do the following:
• check if the displayed SVT status direction (e.g. INS_UP) matches to the pressed button
(e.g. UIB). For mismatch: check the wiring from ERO-box to UIB / DIB-inputs for
possible swapping.
• if direction on SVT is OK but the car moves into the opposite direction: change the
Contract parameter Motor Dir [0/1] from 0 to 1 or vice versa (Default = 0).

Note: do not swap any motor phase wires to change direction. Otherwise the car would
perform an uncontrolled movement during run. A new encoder calibration would be
necessary.

If the car does not move at all the possible error is displayed in the status display.
If Shut Down (SHT DWN) is displayed please check the Error logging (ErrLog)
(M – 2 – 2 – 1 – GOON).
By switching OFF / ON of the main switch in several shutdown cases a possible drive
blocking can be cancelled.

3 Prepare first Normal run

3.1 Adjustment of magnets

Magnets with a length of 250 mm can be used. At shorter landings you have to consider
that the distance between door zones must be at least 180 mm. Otherwise the door zones
can not be separareted with normal speed.

3.3 Learn run

The learn run has to be performed before the first normal run.
The parameters ''TOP FLOOR','BOTTOM FLOOR' and 'FLOORS IN 1LS' have to be set
correctly.
The learn run can be started inside the lowest LV zone or at any other position
outside the 1LS switch.
The car runs with 0.5 m/s down to the lowest LV zone and then it runs with 15 cm/s
up to the highest LV zone.
The drive stores the distances between the LV zones and the length of all LV zones.
In case of two LV switches the inner door zone is stored.

To avoid trouble with passengers switch off the door operator (e.g. by DDO) and disable
hall calls (e.g. by CHCS).
The learn run is started in SVT menu ”Learn” (M – 4 – 1):

wait for NORMAL switch to ”NORMAL” on ERO-Box

Switch to ERO switch on ”ERO” on ERO-Box

To start learn- press <ENTER> on Service Tool

3.4 Load Weighing

3.4.1 Load Weighing Calibration (Parameter 'LoadW type' = 3)

Check the discrete wiring from the load weighing system to the MCB_III (Plug 3).
P6 Pin1 : VRS 30Vdc
P3 Pin1 : 24V_LW (derived from VRS, load sensors may use another 24V supply)
P3 Pin2 : analog sensor value
P3 Pin3 : analog sensor value
P3 Pin4 : HL2

Inspect all equipment for signs of damage, loose connections or other defects.

Adjustment and Calibration

Adjustment and calibration of the load weighing system is done by Parameter Setup (MCB)
via SVT and has to be performed in the following sequence:
I. Setup the parameters
II. Perform offset calibration
III. Perform gain calibration

I. Parameter Adjustment (MCB)

Before setting the loadweighing parameters the contract parameter
"LoadW type" (M-3-1-GOON) has to be set accordingly.
Adjust all loadweighing parameters (M - 3 - 4 - GOON) as described in "Service Tool
Manual"; section "Setup parameters".

II. Offset Calibration

The offset calibration can be done in every floor. Preference is given to the ground floor. It
has to be performed with empty car.
SVT Sequence: M - 4 - 3 - 1 - ENTER
If the calibration is finished correctly, "done" is displayed. In case of "failed" the failure rea-
son is displayed.

III. Gain Calibration

The gain calibration has to be done in the same floor as the offset calibration but with the
car full loaded.
The value of the gain calibration load in kg is asked by the Service Tool menu.
Enter (<M> <4> <3> <2> <Load [kg]> ENTER) the actual load value according to the load
placed in the car.

If the calibration is finished correctly, "done" is displayed. In case of "failed" the fail-
ure reason is displayed.

3.4.2 Load Weighing Calibration (Parameter 'LoadW type' = 4)

Load weighing calibration is done directly on the LWB2

3.4.3 Check of Measured Load

Refer to "Service Tool Manual"; section "3.9. Load Weighing".

3.4.4 Check of Start behavior

If the load weighing works correctly the check can be done as well in normal as in inspec-
tion mode:
• Increase the parameter "PROF DLY [10ms]" (M-3-4) to 200.
• Select the parameter "ALWcomp Corr [%]" (M-3-4-goon..).
• The rollback or roll forward is faded into the display in [mm]. If no rollback or roll forward
occurs, the display remains unchanged.
• The parameter "ALWcomp Corr [%]" can be modified to remove the rollback and roll
forward.
• Decrease the parameter "PROF DLY [10ms]" to its original value.

4 Final adjustment of position reference

Hint: before normal runs can be done the DCS Run ( TCB-Menu DCS-Run, (M – 1 – 3 – 5)
has to be performed.

4.1 Profile parameters (M – 3 – 2)

Adjust all profile parameters (M - 3 - 2 - GOON) if necessary as described in "Service Tool

Manual"; section "Setup parameters".

4.2 Vane parameters (M – 3 – 3)

Before adjusting the vane parameters (hoistway signals), an (inspection-) run through all
hoistway signals should be done.
The switching of 1LV, 2LV 1LS and 2LS switches should be watched with the Service Tool
(M – 1 – 2 – GOON).
After this test the vane-parameters should be adjusted (hoistway variable).
The next step is to search a “reference floor” in the middle of the hoistway.

4.2.1 LV DLY UP and LV DLY DOWN (Adjustment of floor level)

Check the floor level in down- and up-direction in the ”reference floor”.
Leveling inaccuracy can be cancelled by adjusting the parameters LV DLY UP [mm] (Stop
after previous run in up-direction) and LV DLY DOWN [mm] (Stop after previous run in
down-direction).
If the car stops too early (before level), this value has to be higher
(+ leveling inaccuracy in [mm]).
If the car stops too late (after level), this value has to be lower
(- leveling inaccuracy in [mm]).
Note: these parameters affect the level accuracy for every landing. If the magnets are
placed correctly at each floor, the car should stop now correctly at each landing, otherwise
the magnets should be replaced accordingly.
4.2.2 1LS, 2LS (Adjustment of deceleration limit switch)
The deceleration rate at a correction run initiated by 1LS or 2LS is constant (1.2 m/s) and
independent from the parameter DEC. If a normal run is decelerated by 1LS or 2LS the
parameter 1LS DLY or 2LS DLY has to be increased. After increasing 1LS DLY or 2LS DLY
a correction run has to be performed (move the car in ERO-mode outside the doorzone and
switch back to NORMAL). The creep time at a correction run has to be more than 500 ms.

4.3 Start / Stop Parameters (M – 3 – 4)

Adjust all parameters (M - 3 - 4 - GOON) if necessary as described in "Service Tool

Manual"; section "Setup parameters".

5 Event logging
Possible events stored in the event logging are not necessarily reasons for shutdown
and / or callbacks.
These events are described in detail in chapter ”Service Tool User Guide”.
All logged events can be cleared by SVT: M - 2 - 2 - 2 - <SHIFT-5>.
If the drive is blocked by an occurrence of too many fatal events this will be displayed on
SVT after pressing the M key.
By pressing <SHIFT-5> the drive blockage can be cleared.

Saved events (logged before the last power-down) can be found in the menu ”Saved” (M –
2 – 2 – 2).
Normally no failures should be registered in the event logging.

6 Parameter backup storage

The actual parameter setting can be stored into an EEPROM backup area by pressing
M – 3 – 7 on the SVT.
The previously (in the backup area) stored parameter settings can be reloaded by pressing
M – 3 – 8 on the SVT.
In addition it is helpful to have a hardcopy backup of the actual parameter settings stored in
the E&I-panel.
