2.2 KONE 501 controller in brief

KONE 501 controller is KONE 501 escalator controller has been in production since 1999. It
used to control the was initially installed on the ECO 3000 commercial escalators only but
escalator systems is now developed and expanded to be used on the majority of KONE
commercial and transit escalators and autowalks. When installed on
KONE EJV TravelMaster™ escalators a different part number is
applied with changed software and Operating Parameters. With the
release of the EJV R1.5 there are significant input/output and software
changes (see AS-51.05.004).
The 501-B can replace the 501-(A) in most applications. However,
where the OVE system was employed (stand-by mode utilising a part-
time half-rated inverter drive) only 501-(A) systems/software are
functional.
Inverter provides variable KONE 501 controller controls inverter drives, V3F drives (variable
voltage and variable voltage variable frequency) or VSD’s (variable speed drives) as they
frequency and thus various are now commonly known. They are used on escalators for adjusting
speed functions e.g. stand- escalator speed according to client-specific special functions - e.g.
by speed and inspection stand-by mode or inspection speed.
speed Function principle
The inverter provides a variable voltage and a variable frequency to the
escalators drive motor. The inverter drive takes the 3-phase 400V 50Hz
AC supply, rectifies it to a DC voltage and then reconfigures to a 3-
phase AC supply at whatever voltage and frequency is required.

2.3 EMB 501-B – ECO Main Board (A1)
Extend modules provide The already very flexible standard EMB 501-B escalator controller can
automated functions be extended to provide a number of automatic escalator functions and
an expanded data acquisition capability (KONE Remote Monitoring,
KRM).
Extend modules
EAB 501-B – ECO Automatic Board (A2)
This used for the KAM “automatic mode” (on-demand operation) and
the KSB “stand-by” operational functions. The EAB is not available on
EJV R1.5 escalators; automatic functions are undertaken by the EMB
& EIO board.

ESE 501-B – ECO Safety Extension board (A3)
Allows further safety chain devices to be added beyond the EMBs’

standard allocation (16 inputs).
EIO 501-B – ECO Input/Output board (A4)
Used for programmable non-safety critical inputs and outputs. The

inputs can be configurated and the outputs need to be programmed.
This is the same circuit-board as the EAB, but with different software.
14 2.3 EMB 501-B – ECO Main Board (A1) TC000193 / Issue: (A) / Copyright © 2014 KONE Corporation
EBM 501-B (KM 5073016) – ECO Brake Module (A85)
Used for control of the auxiliary (2nd) brake(s). This is, however, not
for all releases as all auxiliary brakes mounted on the main shaft have
different modules. See 3.7.1.
EFP – Eco Front Panel (A27)
Mounted on the control panel door the EFP provides a status display
and gives access to the 501 programme via the integral display and
keypad. Fault Configuration and Operating Parameters are “password”
protected. The navigation is intuitive; however a Technical Handbook
is available as UM-59.02.001.
With the exception of the EBM board, all of the additional modules
communicate with the EMB via a two-wire CAN-BUS network.
LED’s
Each additional circuit board connected to the CAN-BUS incorporates
a flashing LED indicator confirming the CAN-BUS integrity. This
coupled with the processor watchdog flashing LED gives an instant
status indication of the circuit board functionality.
Software
All of the CAN-BUS configured circuit boards have a specific software
loaded. A label on the circuit boards IC’s displays the current software
designation. This software is subject to continuous development.
Usually the software is backwards compatible, but there are some
anomalies.
DIP switch
Each additional circuit board has a 4-way DIP switch. Each board must
be configured as detailed in the escalator specific circuit drawing.
Programming
The KONE 501 controller system can be adapted to suit most escalator
applications. The configuration can be changed using EFP or EMB.
The controller can be manually programmed and the configuration
modified by using a pc with the KONE EPS software installed. A
PEAK PCAN USB dongle & the PCAN-View software (part number
KM283994) and a suitable connection lead (part number DEE
4008652) are required.
The 501 controller can also be integrated with the OVS-2
OkaVarioStart monitor unit, which permits an automatic restart
following a passenger stop operation. This system incorporates a large
number of sensors to confirm that there are no passengers or objects on
the escalator. This system is usually specified on automatic bi-

directional escalators.
Operating modes
The 501 controller offers different escalator operating modes that can
be combined to provide a large number of operation variants. The basic
operating modes are:
• KCM – KONE Continuous Mode. Uses Direct-On-
Line operating.
• KAM – KONE Automatic Mode. An automatic start/
stop feature based on passenger detection. Often
referred to as “on-demand-starting”. Requires a soft-
start option. Often combined with KIB or KDB and
KRD.
• KSD – KONE Star Delta. Uses star/delta switching of
the main drive motor, thus providing a soft-start and a
power-saving capability. Often referred to as “economy
mode”.
• KST – KONE Stand-By mode with a Time function.
Basically KSB combined with KAM. Often combined
with KDB and KRD.
• K2D – KONE 2 Direction mode. Automatic bi-
directional option. Combined with KDB and KRD.
• KBSB – KONE Bypass Stand-By mode. With MAP2,
provides a soft-start and operates the escalator at a
reduced speed, when there is no passenger load.

Sometimes referred to as “energy mode”. Since 2002
KSB requires a full-time inverter drive. Often combined
with KDB and KRD. KSB can also provide an “on-
demand” start feature.
The best People Flow On Transit escalators, many of these features are combined to provide

operating modes Delta switching function. The standard EMB 501 controller is
sufficient. However, in transit applications, economy mode is often
accompanied by other input/outputs requiring addition 501 circuit
boards.
Stand-by mode (KSB) – Incorporates a full-time fully rated inverter
drive operation. KSB requires the EMB and EAB as a minimum but in
case of EJV, the stand-by mode is possible with the mainboard only.
Operational modes are controlled with parameter 60. Passenger

speed options including KSB requires the inclusion of a dynamic braking resistor or a
soft-start and dynamic regenerative unit. Escalators installed with an inverter drive, often have
braking multi-speed options:
- Busy periods at full contract speed (50Hz)
- Stand-by periods at 40% of contract speed (20Hz)
- Inspection mode at 10-80% of contract speed (5-40Hz).
The KSB can also provide the “on-demand” starting feature.
On-demand starting (KAM) – Requires a soft-start feature, either
star/delta or full-time inverter drive, thus the “economy mode” (KSD)
or the “stand-by mode” (KSB) become a no-cost or low-cost option.
With the star/delta option the KIB “coast to stop” feature is available
and with the full time inverter drive option the KDB “dynamic braking”
feature is available. KAM requires the EMB and EAB as a minimum.
Release 1.5 and newer, however, needs EIO4 instead of EAB.
Passenger detectors and “traffic lights” are required.

flexible and can be adapted and Building Management Systems, Data Acquisition Systems and
to any escalator Konexion options, means that the majority of transit escalators require

3.4 EIO-B (A4)
Generic non-assigned EIO-B

On EJV R1.5 escalators the EIO-B module takes on the role of the EAB
module (which is no longer included). Part number KM5200804G01.
The Eco Input/Output circuit board is included when additional input
and output functions are required. On ECO escalators the inputs are
usually used for brake and gearbox monitoring on multi-motor drive
escalators. The outputs are usually used for producing BMS monitoring
signals (EMB software must be compatible for this function).
The EIO can also form part of the CP.1.33 “step-band anti-hunting”
inverter feed-back system, utilised on some problematic installations.
The circuit board, which is identical to the EAB, but with different
operating software, is usually installed into a carrier and DIN-rail
mounted adjacent to the EMB.
CAUTION
The manufacturing facility has on occasion installed EAB
boards and changed the software to that of the EIO boards.
Whilst this is practical, it can be confusing as the identification
label is not always replaced. On circuit drawings the EAB is
known as "A2" and the EIO as "A4".
TC000193 / Issue: (A) / Copyright © 2014 KONE Corporation 3.4 EIO-B (A4) 29

the retardation of the auxiliary brake lifts on a run command and is applied 1.5s following a
escalator stop command. The auxiliary brake therefore acts as a parking brake
and generally plays no part in the retardation of the escalator. However,
on receipt of an under-speed and overspeed and reverse direction fault
signal, the delay is removed.
On a power-fail condition the EMB applies a stored dc voltage to the
auxiliary brake(s), thus ensuring a controlled stop via the operation
brake.
The EBM-B incorporates six status LED’s:
1. This red LED is illuminated when an under-speed
condition has been detected by the EMB. The LED is
extinguished under normal conditions. A 24V dc

voltage is input to A85 X1/3. The auxiliary brake will

not lift under any conditions if this LED is illuminated.
2. This green LED is illuminated when the escalator is
stationary. The LED is extinguished on receipt of a start
command or more precisely when one of the start-
bridge monitor contactors is energised. The auxiliary
brake is electronically lifted when this LED is
extinguished. A24V dc “stationary” voltage is input to
A85 X1/4.
3. This green LED is illuminated in a non-inspection
mode. The LED is extinguished when inspection mode
is selected or more precisely when an inspection socket
insert is removed. A 24V dc “non-inspection” voltage
is input to A85 X1/6.
4. This amber LED is illuminated when the auxiliary
brake is lifted. The LED is extinguished when the brake
is applied. The 208V dc auxiliary brake voltage is
output at A85 X1/10&11.
5. This amber LED is illuminated when the 230V mains
input is applied. The LED is extinguished when the
voltage is not present. The 230V ac “main” voltage is
input at A85 A1/14 & 15.
6. This green LED is illuminated when the 230V ac brake
“IN” input is received. The LED is extinguished when
the voltage is removed. The 230V ac “IN” voltage is
input at A85 X1/12 & 13.

Repeated power-on/-off There are an unwarranted number of failures of the EBM circuit board,
cycles result in mainly during commissioning. This is due to the often excessive
overheating and thus cycling rate the EBM-B is subjected to whilst undertaking
material losses commissioning functions and final tests.
Repeated power-on/power-off cycles, which sequentially charge and
discharge the capacitor, will result in overheating of the charge resistor,
which can melt the solder, burn the circuit board or destroy the bridge
rectifier!
WARNING
The DC energy stored within the capacitor is potentially
dangerous. Ensure the safety cover is in place and that the
capacitor is fully discharged before working on the auxiliary
brake circuit.

3.9 EPS
ECO Programming System
EPS is used for programming the control and diagnostic system of the
ECO 3000 family of escalators, which utilise the 501 controller system.
This software can also be used to make default settings, set parameters
and access statistical data.
Escalator technicians and supervisors who are issued with laptop PC’s
with ESP software installed, can, with the PEAK CAN-dongle parallel
port interface (no longer available) or with the PCAN-USB port
interface (part number KM283994) and an interface lead (part number
DEE 4008652), connect directly to the escalators 501 controller.
Installing the software and configuring the files

A Technical Handbook (UM-51.98.001) details the EPS system and
explains how to install the software and configure the files. This
Technical Handbook is out of date in some areas, as the EPS software
has been and still is subject to continuous improvements. Nonetheless
the basic operating principles remain the same. The EPS dongle
parallel port software is currently at version EPS 2.10. and the PCAN-
USB software is at version USB 2.80.
A “Flash Programmer” feature allows for the transfer of programmes
to and from the 501 modules. This feature is used for the transfer of
updated software and modified programmes.
Each escalator has a Bill Of Materials; within this BOM data, is the
specific software listing for each installed 501 module. Each software
file is given a part number. The EMB, EAB, ESE and EIO software is
binary and the part number ends with “BIN” whilst the EFP software is
hexadecimal and ends with “HEX”. This software can be downloaded
using EPS. Item 900 of the specific circuit board BOM references the
software part number. Access to these files is restricted. Authorisation
may be required.
SOFTWARE FILES
Current (at the time of writing) generic software files for ECO are as
follows. EJV has different numbers and versions.
• EMB = ECO KM3711826_23.81-EMB.BIN
• EMB = EJV KM 3711826_ 51.34-EMB.BIN
• EAB = KM3711827_3.40-EAB.BIN
• ESE = KM3711828_1.20-ESE.BIN
• EIO = KM3711829_1.10-EIO.BIN
• EFP = KM3711842_1.21.HEX
52 3.9 EPS TC000193 / Issue: (A) / Copyright © 2014 KONE Corporation

The EPS system is a necessity on more complicated escalator

installations.
It is recommended that the original files including the configuration
file are temporarily saved before downloading different software as
there appears to be some back-wards compatibility problems.

newel or skirting and via dual front-plate mounted reflective diffuse sensors on the EJV
R1.4 TravelMasterTM 110 escalators. Radar technology has nowadays
replaced IR sensors.
The EJV’s paired sensors are installed in the handrail entry front-plates
angled inwards at 21° and upwards at 22° for an intersecting central
target at 2m from the sensor location.
The sender emits a 16° cone of infrared light, this is reflected off the
target and detected by the receiver.
Adjusting sensor sensibility

The EJV sensors utilise an A92/A93 power amplifier unit with
independent gain controls. Correct alignment and gain setting are
imperative for reliable operation.

This installation utilises star/delta switching and a pair of IR through-
beam sensors for passenger detection. A select switch provides
automatic or continuous operation. The EAB requires an automatic
selection at X1/17, a direction pre-selection input at X1/15 or 16, the
2nd light beam inputs tied to 24V dc at X1/2 & 3 and the passenger
detection sensor inputs at X1/15 & 16. A continuous run input is
available at X1/18.
The EAB provides the necessary traffic light switching (X1/27-30) and
the momentary up or down start (X1/44 & X1/45) and the stop (X1/46)
commands.

3.12 Basic stand-by mode to circuit diagram

5070053D10
This installation utilises a full-time inverter drive (Variable Speed
Drive) with a braking resistor and IR through-beam sensors for
passenger detection. A 24V dc input to X1/20 selects the stand-by
feature and a switched output at X1/47 provides the stand-by/normal
speed selection to the inverter.
The EAB requires a direction pre-selection input at X1/15 or X1/16 and
the 2nd light beam inputs tied to 24V DC at X1/2 & X1/3. Breaking of
the IR sensors input at X1/13 or X1/14 initiates the speed change.
The EAB provides any necessary traffic light switching (X1/27-30)
and the momentary up or down start (X1/44 & X1/45) and the stop (X1/
46) commands.
The EMB provides the start command (A1 X1/56 & X1/55). The EMB
must have a 24V dc “stop” input at A1.X1/36.

Variable speed functions and how they work

The Normal running time is determined at Operating Parameters OP29
& OP30. Once the time has elapsed the escalator will ramp down to the
stand-by speed (*20Hz). If the passenger sensor is then activated the
escalator will accelerate to the contract speed (*50Hz). (* European
supply frequency).
When stand-by mode is utilised with on-demand functions, Operating
Parameters OP37 & OP38 must be programmed to the appropriate time
setting. If a stand-by stop is not required OP37 & OP38 must be set to
00.
TC000193 / Issue: (A) / Copyright © 2014 KONE Corporation 3.12 Basic stand-by mode to circuit diagram 5070053D10 67
i.e. if OP29/30 is set to 30 seconds and OP37/38 is set to 01 minute,

then after 30s the escalator will decelerate to 0.2ms and then after a
further 1 minute the escalator will come to a stop. If the passenger
sensor is then activated the escalator will accelerate back to full speed
and the cycle will start again. In this instance, this facility is not
available as traffic lights are not included.
If there is any risk of passengers being “missed” by the passenger
sensors then a 2nd light-beam can be accommodated at inputs A2. X1/
2 & X1/3. This is programmed at Operating Parameters OP41 & OP43.
If activated out of sequence, this will cancel the direction pre-selection.
Some clients, notably airports, are not totally confident with the
availability/reliability of inverter drives and sometimes request a “by-
pass” selector that allows the escalator to run Direct-On-Line under
non-availability conditions. This would normally include star/delta
starting via an independent timer. Drawing number 6028117D10 is
provided for this function.

3.14 Fault Finding

The 501 controller circuit boards are often changed when they are not
at fault. The reasons for this are generally a lack of understanding of
how the system works and a failure to observe the systems
functionality. Incorrect programming and incompatible software often
compound problems.
Make sure to configure the If the escalators system is not correctly configured, then the system will
system correctly not function as intended!
The 501 controller relies on a series of inputs, switch settings and a
preinstalled programme. If any of these are incorrect or incompatible,
then the escalator will not operate.
Each of the LED’s gives a clear status indication and should never be
ignored.
Firstly: establish what features and functions are included on any
individual escalator.
Secondly: confirm that all necessary inputs and outputs are established.
Thirdly: confirm that the appropriate software and programmes are
applied.
1. POWER. The EMB 501 requires a 24V AC supply and a 24V DC
supply.
• If the AC voltage is missing only the four BMS LED’s
at terminals 51-54 are illuminated.
• If the DC voltage is missing only the 2-digit display, the
four flashing processor LED’s and the end-of-safety-
chain LED are illuminated.
• Loss of power to the ancillary 501 boards causes similar
LED loss.
• A momentary loss of either supply (i.e. poor
connection) initiates an escalator stop, without fault
registration or a restart being available. A power-down,
power-on sequence usually restores functionality.
• Simultaneous loss of both supplies, of course, generates
fault "99" when power is restored.
2. 2-digit display. The 2-digit display is the primary status and fault
indicator. Remember if all is well _ _ is displayed and a key start is
available. If I_ is displayed then inspection mode is selected and the
escalator will only operate via the inspection handset.
Any displayed fault codes require being actioned, regardless of the
escalator being functional or not!
72 3.14 Fault Finding TC000193 / Issue: (A) / Copyright © 2014 KONE Corporation
3. Watch-dog/CAN-BUS LED’s. Ensure the flashing LED’s on each

circuit board are established.
4. Safety Circuit. Any active safety circuit faults are indicated by red
LED’s on the EMB circuit board and the ESE circuit board. The two
Safety Relays (K1 & K2) will not energise until the active fault is
cleared and the End of Safety Chain voltage is restored (A1. X1/12).
LED “EoSC” is extinguished. * except see 13.
5. Reset. A reset is necessary to clear latching fault registrations (br =
02). The reset input can be confirmed by watching LED “Res” at input
A1. X1/37.
6. Start available. A start is not available until the digital status is
correct at A1. X1/1 – X1/5. LED’s 1, 3 & 5 should be illuminated;
LED’s 2 & 4 should be extinguished.
Handrail speed and 7. Speed monitoring. The six speed reference inputs at A1. X1/6 – X1/
Missing step sensors are 11 should be functional once the escalator is running. Handrail speed
mandatory input at X1/6 & X1/9 (16-25Hz), Missing step input at X1/7 & X1/10
(1.25Hz) and Motor speed/direction input at X1/8 & X1/11 (100Hz -
1.2 kHz). The corresponding LED’s should flash at the appropriate
frequencies. The Handrail speed and Missing Step requirements are
mandatory from 01/01/2008. Prior to this date they were an option. If
installed, they must be functional.
8. Programme. The Fault Configuration and the Operating Parameters
must be correctly set to the specific escalators requirements. OP10 &
OP11 “brake distance factor” are critical, especially when Handrail
speed monitoring is included.
9. Windows of opportunity. Timing is important. Certain operation
functions must be completed within a defined time span. If not, the
feature or function is cancelled. For example:
1. If an automatic run UP command is initiated, but the direction
confirmation is not received within 3 seconds then the operation is
cancelled.
Or 2. If a brake lift sensors fails to register, then a stop is initiated
within a 3-second window of starting.
10. Non-registration faults. The stop feature input at A1 X1/36
requires a 24V dc input. If the corresponding LED “stop” is not
illuminated, then there are no operational functions nor is a fault code
generated. These stops are however identified via the EFP and the EPS.
11. Software. Incompatible software causes no-end of problems. If in
doubt, seek advice.
TC000193 / Issue: (A) / Copyright © 2014 KONE Corporation 3.14 Fault Finding 73
12. Modernization. Ensure that the "Brake Distance Factor" at OP10

& OP11 and the "Star>Delta" switching limits at OP15 - OP18 are
correct. i.e. on an RTK-HD escalator with the "HD" type motor or an
RTK escalator with "K" type motor modified to a 6-pulse per
revolution pickup requires:
• DIP switches 5 set to "ON" (6-pulse, 1000rpm).
• OP 10 = 05; OP11 = 00.
• OP 15 = 00; OP16 = 93 (lower limit).
• OP 17 = 00; OP18 = 99 (upper limit).
13. Dynamic Braking. When dynamic braking is included, the safety
and control circuit require to remain energised under a fault condition,
until a stop is executed. Therefore the "end-of-safety chain" input at the
EMB X1/12 requires a permanent 24V DC input. Safety circuit
interruption is then passed to the EAB via relay K73. For correct fault
registrations a 2.2k ohm resistor (R5) is placed across the input to the
safety chain monitoring at A2. X1/53A and ground (0V DC).

4.1 Introduction
Inverter drives, V3F drives (variable voltage variable frequency) or
VSD’s (variable speed drives) as they are now commonly known, are
used on escalators to provide variable speed options when using three-
phase induction motors.
Inverter drives can be part-time or full-time operation, dependant on
the features required and the type and age of the escalator.
Inverter drives are included on escalators only when the client specifies
special functions or operating features, or where there are technical
requirements. These functions are:
• Stand-by mode (40% contract speed when no passenger
load)
• On-demand starting (stops when no passenger load).
• Multi-speed functions (variable or pre-set).
• Systems synchronization (i.e. assistance handrail drive
on very large escalators).

4.2 The history of inverters

Historically part-time inverter drives were used on O&K/KONE
escalators manufactured before the year 2002. With the introduction of
the E3C, E3H, E3X & E3M escalators, full-time inverter drives became
standard. Part-time inverters are usually down-rated (around 50%
capacity) and are not capable of driving a loaded escalator. Full-time
inverters must have a minimum of 100% capacity.
Full-time inverters became The first O&K escalators to incorporate inverter drives were RT-HD
standard 2002. Before that types manufactured in the late 1980’s. These used “Electronic Drives”
part-time inverters were and later “Yaskawa” inverters to provide an inspection speed and a
used. comb-inch facility (in lieu of a hand-winding facility) on escalators
provided to a Railway specification for various main line Railway
Stations.
Stand-by mode was With the introduction of the O&K/KONE RTV escalator in 1993,
introduced in 1993 to save Stand-by mode was offered as a power saving device. Escalators fitted
power and to reduce wear with the Stand-by mode, use an inverter drive to ramp down from
and tear. contract speed to a lower speed when there is no passenger load. This
saves power, reduces wear and tear on moving components and reduces
noise levels. Because there is never any passenger load when operating
in the stand-by mode, a down rated inverter drive (approx. 50%
capacity) can be used (cheaper and smaller). The inverter selected was
the Yaskawa G3 series, later the P5 series and finally the G5 series.
In 2002, with release 2.0 of the KONE ECO3000TM escalator, a move
was made to a fully rated inverter drive, whenever stand-by mode was
specified. Again the Yaskawa G5 series was selected. The cost and size
of inverter drives had reduced; therefore there was no benefit in
downrating the inverter. This brought other benefits, such as power
optimisation, dynamic braking and a reduction in the motor
management complexities.
From February 2005, all production escalator inverter drives were of
the KEB F5C series; this was due to supply difficulties with the
Yaskawa drives.
With the introduction of the KONE TravelMasterTM 110 and
TransitMasterTM 120/140 escalators a change was made to Vacon NXL
inverter drives.
The newest inverter is KONE Smart Inverter which is a part-time
inverter.
This training document will only detail inverter systems integrated
with the 501 Controller.
TC000193 / Issue: (A) / Copyright © 2014 KONE Corporation 4.2 The history of inverters 81
So the inclusion of an inverter drive to our escalators, gives us more

flexibility and control of the escalators’ operation. There is a downside.
1. Cost – not only is there the additional cost of the
Inverter drive, but many other systems changes are
necessary, all adding to the cost.
2. Complexities – Integration and operation functions

make the system more complex and difficult to install
and maintain.
3. Space – The inverter drive and its associated

equipment takes up room that is not always readily
available. Early generation inverter drives are much
larger than the current generation.
4. Reliability – Whilst Inverter drives are generally very

reliable, inverter and systems failures do occur. Inverter
failures are usually temperature related. The cooling
fan and venting systems must be maintained.
5. Longevity – We must factor-in the life of Inverter

drives. This is around 30,000-40,000 hours. This is not
operation time, but power-on time, and the majority of
our installations are powered 24/7. This is a 4-5 years
service life. Part-time inverter drives have a realistic
service life of 8-10 years. Latest generation inverters
are now claiming a life expectancy of 10 years.
6. Motor – The motors reliability and longevity can be

adversely affected when an inverter is installed.
• The motor winding insulation can be overstressed due to

over voltages generated within the inverter.
• Electrolytic corrosion of the motor bearings can be
accelerated due to increased leakage currents.
• Some motors become acoustically noisy due to the
magnetic transients caused by the non-sinusoidal output
voltage.

4.3 Systems
Basics
A three-phase induction motor, as used on the majority of escalators,
runs at a speed that is determined by the frequency of the applied AC
voltage and the number of pole-pairs of the motor stator windings.
Therefore, a KONE E3C escalator drive motor, which has a four-pole
winding or two-pole pairs, operating at the EU three-phase supply of
400V at 50Hz, will run at a speed of 50 (Hertz) divided by 2 (pole-
pairs) multiplied by 60 (seconds) which equals 1,500 revolutions per
minute (ignoring slip).
If we wish to change the speed of the motor and thus the escalator, we
must either change the frequency of the applied AC voltage or the
number of the motors pole-pair windings. As the EU voltage is fixed at
50Hz and the motor is wound with only 2 pole-pairs, we require to find
another method.
Alternately a KONE TravelMasterTM 110 escalator drive motor, which
has a six-pole winding, will run at a speed of 50 (Hz) divided by 3
(pole-pairs) multiplied by 60 (seconds) which equals 1000 rpm.
How it works
As mentioned earlier the inverter drive provides a variable voltage and
a variable frequency to the escalators drive motor, but how does it do
this?
Simply, the inverter drive takes the 3-phase 400V 50Hz AC supply,
rectifies it to a DC voltage and then reconfigures to a 3-phase AC
supply at whatever voltage and frequency is required.
TC000193 / Issue: (A) / Copyright © 2014 KONE Corporation 4.3 Systems 83

The Inverter drive is comprised of four basic sections:

1. Diode-bridge. This section converts the three-phase
400V 50Hz AC supply voltage to a DC voltage.
2. Intermediate circuit. Often known as the DC link, this
is where the DC voltage is stored (in a large capacitor).
3. Motor bridge. This section converts the DC voltage
back into an AC current at a variable voltage and
frequency.
4. Electronic circuit. This section monitors and controls
the other three sections dependant on a number of
inputs and programmes.

1. The diode bridge simply consists of a 3-phase bridge

rectifier (6 diodes), which rectifies the applied AC
voltage to provide a DC voltage of typically 593 volts.
On power-up, a charge resistor and relay are used to
prevent excessive in-rush currents.

2. The intermediate circuit consists of a large storage

capacitor and a braking resistor and switching element.
In our application the braking element usually requires
an additional external resistor, so that the escalator
motor can safely work in the 3rd and 4th quadrants
where regenerative voltages are produced (down
running with a passenger load).
3. The motor bridge section consists of 6 Insulated Gate

Bipolar Transistors (IGBT’s). These are simply
electronic switches, which are capable of switching
large currents on and off very quickly. The IGBT’s are
arranged and switched in patterns, which simulate 3-
phase AC currents; these outputs are supplied directly
to the escalators motor.

4. The electronic circuit is used to monitor and control

the other three sections of the inverter drive. The
electronic circuit is usually very sophisticated and can
be programmed to give very specific and accurate
control and protection of the escalators motor. A
keypad and display are often incorporated into the unit,
but most initial programming is undertaken using a
laptop computer and dedicated software.

Pulse Width Modulation

Pulse Width Modulation is the term applied to the way the motor bridge
section’s transistors are switched. This relies on the inverter drives
IGBT’s being switched “on”, so that the DC current can flow through
the motors stator windings in a simulated 3-phase balanced waveform
with a 120° phase separation.
The IGBTS’s are switched with a forward bias so that current flows
from positive to negative; the duration of the “on” periods determines
the applied voltage and the time cycle of the current reversals
determines the applied frequency. The diodes across the IGBT’s
provide the current path during motor regeneration.

ii) If we view the motors “U” phase winding, forward bias is achieved
by switching “on” transistors 1 & 6. Current will, of course, also flow
through the “W” and the “V” phase windings, albeit in the opposite
direction and at half the voltage. Turn “off” transistors 1 & 6.

PULSE-WIDTH MODULATION (PWM) WAVEFORMS

Voltage
Current
The switching patterns of the six IGBT’s are quite complex and are
constantly being modulated to provide the necessary motor speed and
torque at any moment. Transistors 1 & 4, 2 & 5 and 3 & 6 should be
viewed as a changeover pair, as they can never be switched on together.
In escalators the motor speed tends to be fairly constant, except when
accelerating and decelerating from and to stationary or the stand-by
mode speed. The inverter therefore operates almost exclusively at a
constant frequency, however the voltage applied to the motor will vary
with passenger load and the output torque requirement.
Open-loop and closed-loop
Inverter drives can be configured in a closed-loop or an open-loop
control application. Closed-loop control requires a speed reference
feedback from the motor drive, using a shaft-encoder or a tacho-
generator. This provides very precise motor control but is rarely used
on escalators. Escalators, because of their simpler requirement, tend to
use the open-loop control method. However, modern inverters utilise a
system of “flux vector” control, which provides very precise motor
control, without the need for a feedback link.

Programming
This can be relatively simple or complex dependant on the inverter
drive’s application. All inverter drives require certain basic data and
inputs for our applications.
1. The mains supply:
• Voltage (400V)
• Frequency (50Hz)
2. Motor details:
• Working voltage (400V)
• Number of poles (4-pole)
• Output power (7.5kW)
• Full load current (14.8A)
• Stator resistance (1.374 ohms).
3. Operation features:
• Direction of rotation (forwards/reverse)
• Speed reference (50Hz)
• Acceleration time (5s)
• Deceleration time (10s)
• Method of stopping (coast to stop)
Benefits
The inclusion of the inverter drive on an escalator provides some useful
benefits beyond the speed options:
• The inverter drive always matches the applied voltage to
the motors speed and load thereby providing power
optimisation. These power savings can be substantial,
dependent on the escalators passenger profile.
Incorporated with the “stand-by mode” even greater
savings are available plus a reduction in wear and tear
on mechanical components and a reduction in generated
noise levels.
• The inverter drive provides full torque from zero hertz,
thus providing a soft-start (reduced starting currents and
mechanical shock loadings). This is especially
beneficial in “on-demand” applications.
• The inverter, with the correct braking resistor, provides
a “dynamic braking” capability. This can reduce
maintenance and provide consistent stopping distances,
regardless of passenger load.

Disadvantages
Beyond cost, complexities, space, reliability and longevity, there are
some technical items:
EMC compliance. To comply with relevant standards (EN 61800-3),
special installation methods are required. These include segregation of
components, special screening of cables, the addition of filters (RIF &
harmonics), special earthing measures and safety integration.

Heat. The inverter drive generates heat, which must be dissipated. In

addition the escalator motor may generate extra heat (dependent on the
operating frequency and the carrier frequency). Motors designed to run
at 50Hz, which operate at lower frequencies may become excessively
hot as the cooling fan becomes less efficient.
Regeneration. Down running escalators with motors operating in the
3rd and 4th quadrants generate energy, normally this is returned to the

mains supply, but with an inverter, the diode-bridge prevents this. The
generated energy must therefore be dissipated elsewhere. This is
usually accomplished using a large braking resistor, which of course
generates more heat! A second option is to include a regenerative unit
(Revcon), basically a second inverter, which can put the energy back
into the mains supply. This, however, is an expensive option. Some
modern inverter drives have a full regenerative capability, but they are
expensive!
Noise. The inclusion of an inverter can generate additional audible
noise at the motor. However modern inverters usually have the ability
to skip certain problem frequencies or to change the carrier frequency
(2-16kHz) to overcome this. The higher the carrier frequency the lower
the noise, however this can increase the temperature rise within the
motor. It can also lower the stall current of the motor. Where long cable
runs (>100m) exist between the inverter drive and the motor, the carrier
frequency should be kept as low as practical (4kHz).
New developments
As inverter drives develop they become more sophisticated, smaller
and generally cheaper. The new generation of inverter drives use 3-
level control technology, where generated voltages are much more
sinusoidal and thus reduce the problems associated with the older 2-
level control technology (over voltages, leakage currents, acoustical
noise and harmonics).

4.4 Stand-by mode (Oka Vario Energy)

With the introduction of the RTV escalator and the 401 controller in
1993, O&K Escalators offered the option of the “stand-by” mode or
OVE, as it was known in Europe. The “stand-by” mode was provided
as an energy efficient system and was used in conjunction with the
“economy” mode method of delta-star motor switching (power saving
method for escalators when lightly loaded).
The original “stand-by” mode incorporated a part-time, down rated
inverter drive, that was engaged during periods when there was no
passenger load on the escalator. This system was therefore only suited
to escalators with a specific passenger profile.
Benefits of Stand-by mode

The OVE concept was based around the fact that unloaded motors are
very inefficient; therefore when the escalator has no passenger load,
energy is wasted. With OVE the inverter drive will ramp-down the
motor from contract speed to a much slower speed and thereby save
energy. The energy saving is achieved by improving the motors power
factor to almost unity. Additional benefits would be less mechanical
wear and tear with corresponding increased longevity and lower noise
generation whilst the escalator was in the lower operating speed.
The OVE system is relatively complicated because of the selection of
the part-time down rated inverter drive and the necessity to switch the
motor from the inverter supply when unloaded, to the mains supply
when loaded. The OVE system also included the “economy” mode of
Delta/Star switching (which had been developed on the RTK-B
escalator using the O&K 301 controller with the RCE-01 computer),
thus adding more complexity to the installation.
The OVE system was utilized only on early production ECO escalators.
The 501 controller system always included the EAB circuit-board.
When in 2002 the E3C escalator was introduced, the “stand-by” mode
was redefined by using a full-time fully rated inverter drive, only then
is the real power saving potential realised, as the escalators motor is
fully optimised at all times. In addition the integration is simplified and
offers other benefits such as multi-speed selection and dynamic
braking.

4.5 OVE part-time inverter drive

The original OVE system incorporated a down rated inverter drive, an
input filter, a braking resistor and six main contactors to switch the
escalator main drive motor between the three operating modes of
Inverter (stand-by), D-O-L Delta (full power) & D-O-L Star (economy)
and the two directions of travel Up & Down.
K1 – UP direction
K2 – DOWN direction
K3 – STAR configuration
K4 – DELTA configuration
K24 – MAINS selection
K25 – INVERTER selection
When operating in any mode, three contactors were always engaged
Up Inverter – K1, K4 & K25
Down Inverter – K2, K4 & K25
Up Delta – K1, K4 & K24
Down Delta – K2, K4 & K24
Up Star – K1, K3 & K24
Down Star – K2, K3 & K24
The inverter, the input filter, the braking resistor and contactors K3,
K4, K24 & K25 were installed in a separate fixed control panel
designated E200. This kept the lift-out control panel (E102) to a
manageable weight and dimension; it also separated the “noise
emitting” components from the “noise susceptible” components and
thus ensured EMC compliance.
The “stand-by” mode also required a method of passenger detection;
this was achieved by placing through-beam infrared sensors at the
escalators newels. The “sender” was always located in the left-hand
newel and the “receiver” in the right-hand newel. The sensors look
identical, each having a four-wire connection. The sender has an “s” in
its part code and the receiver an “e”.
TC000193 / Issue: (A) / Copyright © 2014 KONE Corporation 4.5 OVE part-time inverter drive 95
The escalators operating profile was thus:

1. Start – contactors K1, K4 & K25 energise, the
escalator ramps up to the stand-by speed programmed
within the inverter. Timing of these contactors is
important as the inverter must “see” the motor before a
start command is received.
2. Stand-by – the escalator runs unloaded at 40% of
contract speed (20Hz).
3. Detection – when the newel-mounted sensors detect a
passenger, the escalator ramps up to the top of ramp
speed, which is programmed within the inverter drive.
The top of ramp speed is usually 50.5Hz.
4. Top of ramp – the escalator momentarily free wheels
as contactor K25 de-energises and K24 energises, with
a dwell period of 400ms which is programmed within
the 501 controller at operating parameters OP33 &
OP34. If correctly programmed the transition from
inverter to D-O-L should be seamless.
5. Direct On Line – the escalator continues to run with
K1, K4 and K24 energised. However, if the passenger
load is minimal and the escalators motor runs with
minimal slip, the K4 Delta contactor will de-energise
and the K3 Star contactor will energise. The motor will
switch between the Delta and Star configuration
dependent upon the escalators passenger load and the
programme within the 501 controller.
6. Times out – if there has been no passenger load for a
preset period of time, which is programmed within the
501 controller, contactor K4 will be selected, K24 will
de-energise and K25 will energise with a dwell period
of 1000ms, which is programmed within the 501
controller at operating parameters OP35 & OP36.
7. Ramp down – the inverter will then “pick up” the
rotating motor and ramp down the escalator to the
stand-by speed. If the inverter and 501 controller are
programmed correctly, the transition should be
seamless.
8. Stand-by – the escalator will remain at the stand-by
speed until a passenger is detected.
When running the escalators motor at the stand-by speed of 20Hz the
motors integral ventilation fan is relatively inefficient and may not
provide adequate cooling for long periods of operation at the reduced
speed. On the OVE equipped 501 controller parameters OP37 & OP38

4.6 KONE Smart Inverter
KONE Smart Inverter (CON9100-A) is the newest inverter model

designed to be utilized in conjuction with motors from 7.5 to 30 kW /
400V. It is one kind of a part-time smart inverter which operates part-
time or full-time under smart control. No special control software or
hardware is needed for bypassing.
With the application of PID closed circuit synchronous control, the
CON9100-A has advantages such us short synchronous time, high
synchronous precession, small switch current, comfort experience etc..
plus, it can control star-delta connection method of motor. On-demand
starting is handled by the mainboard.
CON9100-A series is a part-time inverter adjusting the motor speed
only during acceleration and deceleration. When the inverter
decelerates the escalator, the dynamic energy will feed back to the DC
bus side. During the high-speed period, the motor is directly driven by
the line power. The regenerated energy is fed back to the grid directly.
Therefore, a braking resistor is not necessary. The deceleration time,
however, has been extended. If the user wants to shorten the
deceleration time, the use of a braking resistor is needed.

Output speeds are determined at terminals 5, 6 & 7. This provides a

binary input code providing eight speed options, which are specified at
parameters C1-01 to C1-08. Generally only three speed options are
used. These being “normal” at 50Hz, “stand-by” at 20Hz and
“inspection” at 40Hz. Some clients request inspection mode at 10%,
25%, 40% or 50% of normal contract speed (5Hz, 12.5Hz, 20Hz or
25Hz). Terminal 7 is not usually allocated if only 2 speeds are required.
The speed reference table for drawing 5070053D10 is represented
below. Here Normal speed is 50Hz, Stand-by speed is 20Hz and
Inspection speed is 40Hz.

When more complicated escalator installations are called for, the six
digital inputs at terminals 3 to 8 can be reallocated to provide special
functions using parameters H1-01 to H1-06. There are also three digital
outputs at terminals 9-10 (relay o/p), 25-27 & 26-37 (transistor o/p),
which can be allocated to provide special functions using parameters
H2-01 to H2-03.
Always ensure that the specific escalators inverter programme is
available. However, all changed parameters (from the
manufacturers default programme) are listed in ”modified
constants”.
4.8 Full-time inverter drives

With the introduction of the E3C escalator in 2002, a move was made
to a full-time fully rated inverter drive, whenever our clients specify the
“stand-by” mode (now called KSB) or “on-demand” starting functions
(KAM). This simplifies the installation and it provides full-time power
optimisation and a dynamic braking capability (KDB).
The full-time inverter drive was also introduced on the E3H, the E3X
and the E3M escalators. Some multi-drive escalators include inverter
drives even though there is no special operation modes specified. The
soft starting, power optimisation, inspection-speed and dynamic
braking feature being reason enough for the inverter drives’ inclusion.
These heavy-duty installations usually require the controller and
inverter drive to be remotely mounted.
The full-time inverter drive incorporates only two main contactors
(K14 & K25), which are installed between the inverter drives output
and the escalators drive motor. Directional changes are provided by
logic inputs to the inverter drive. The inverter drive (A200) and the
inverter drive enclosure (E200) require forced ventilation.
Regenerated energy
Down running, inverter driven escalators with a leading load can and
do generate substantial amounts of power, which must be dissipated,
usually within the braking resistor. In a conventional D-O-L escalator
motor the generated energy is returned to the mains supply. However,
when an inverter drive is utilised the diode-bridge prevents the return
of generated energy.
This is of course very wasteful of this energy, and can cause problems
with the heat generated within the braking resistor. The braking resistor
is specified as approx. 60% of the escalators main drive motors rated
output power.
The braking resistor is usually located within the escalators step-band
or remotely, so that there is adequate natural cooling. The resistors are
of a special construction, usually encased within a ribbed aluminium
profile. Braking resistors are dangerous; there are high DC voltages and
high operating temperatures to contend with. Special screened cables
are required for correct integration.
The following table gives details of standard braking resistors for the
Yaskawa G5 and the KEB F5 inverter drives:

2 x 10 15 13 KM284166
2 x 12 15 13 KM284166
There are alternative methods of integrating the regenerated energy.

One is to use a regenerative unit, such as the Revcon. This is basically
a second inverter that is connected to the drives DC bus and then
modulates the regenerative DC voltage into a 3-phase 50Hz AC
voltage, synchronous with the mains supply. Another option is to use
one of the latest generation inverter drives, such as the ABB ACS 800
frequency converter (as used on some PSX escalators), which
incorporates a full regenerative capability.
Some escalators are therefore equipped with a regenerative unit or a
frequency converter, which places the regenerative energy into the
mains supply. There are few such equipped escalators, and these are
usually public service escalators installed in airports and rail stations.
Dynamic braking (KDB)

With the inclusion of a full-time fully rated inverter drive, we have the
option of “dynamic braking”. This is where the inverter drive is used to
routinely bring the escalator to a standstill under stop commands. This
provides a number of advantages:
• The escalator will have a constant stopping distance,
regardless of passenger load.
• The escalator stopping profile can be programmed to
provide smooth jerk-free stops, regardless of the
escalators’ speed or height rise.
• The operation brake will require minimum
maintenance, as it effectively becomes a parking brake.
116 4.8 Full-time inverter drives TC000193 / Issue: (A) / Copyright © 2014 KONE Corporation
• The operation brake effectively becomes the auxiliary

brake, used only for overspeed and anti-reversal
functions.
The dynamic braking does not in fact relieve the operation brake of all
retardation duties, as the operation brake is applied, just before the
escalator comes to a stop (<8Hz). This keeps the brake drum and brake
pads clean and thus the operation brake remains fully functional as a
parking brake, and if ever called upon to stop the escalator from full
contract speed or if required to hold a loaded stationary escalator. Only
a very small number of RTV-HD escalators (401 controller) were built
with the dynamic braking capability, however it is more common on
the E3X & E3M escalators utilising the 501 controller. When dynamic
braking is specified the 501 controller EAB circuit board is always
utilised.
The energy generated during the dynamic braking period is dissipated
into the inverter drives “braking resistor (R10)”.
The 501 controller requires to be specifically programmed for the
dynamic braking function by:
1. Selecting the “on” position for switch 8 of the two
EMB DIP switches (X250 & X251).
2. Programming parameters 44 & 45 to give the
deceleration time (default is 1.7s. parameter 44 = 01 &
parameter 45 = 70).
The inverter drive requires to be programmed for the specific escalators
functions and motor rating. The stand-by mode integration utilising the
Yaskawa G5 inverter drive is represented on circuit drawing

4.9 KEB F5C

KEB F5C programme
The KEB F5C inverter performs the same functions as the Yaskawa G5
inverter and contains more or less the same operational and
programming options. The parameter coding and method of navigating
using the KEB digital operator is very different to that employed on the
Yaskawa.
The KEB F5 digital operator (KM284167) is removable. Many of the
KEB inverters are delivered without the digital operator. Correct
functionality and fault analysis cannot be confirmed without the digital
operator.
Programming the inverter using a laptop PC with the KEB software
installed is much easier.
The digital operator is needed when programming using a laptop PC,
as the interface lead connects into the digital operator and not directly
TC000193 / Issue: (A) / Copyright © 2014 KONE Corporation 4.9 KEB F5C 119
into the inverter! KEB operating software and inverter programmes are
available on EDMS. A dedicated connection lead is required
(KM284173).
The control board terminal strip of the KEB F5 comes in two types (of
five versions), which are configured for COMPACT & GENERAL (29
connectors) or BASIC control (17 connectors). KONE generally
specify the F5C (29 connectors).

Output speeds are determined at terminals 10&11. This binary input
provides only three speed options, where more speed options are
required special programme software is required to be installed.
Motor details are usually pre-programmed via the lap-top PC at
parameters dr. 0 to dr. 6. The KEB F5 requires motor specific entries at:
dr. 0 - Motor Full Load current - in Amps
dr. 1 - Rated motor speed - in RPM
dr. 2 - Rated motor voltage - in Volts
dr. 3 - Rated motor power - in kW
dr. 4 - Rated power factor - in cos.(phi)
dr. 5 - Rated motor frequency - in Hz.
dr. 6 - Motor stator resistance - in ohms (typical 400V in Delta: 7.5kW
= 1.5 ohms; 11kW = 0.9 ohms; 15kW = 0.6 ohms)
Special CP programming can be applied to some E3X & E3M escalator
installations. This generally requires the use of a laptop PC, although
once installed, all programming can be accessed via the digital
operator. Navigating using the digital operator can be confusing;
however, once mastered it is relatively easy. A full KEB application
manual (340 pages) or a short-form manual (38 pages) is required and

is beyond the scope of this course.

Digital operator
The digital operator consists of four push buttons and a 5-segment
display. As with the Yaskawa inverters digital operator the KEB digital
operator is detachable, the inverter functions without the digital
operator, but diagnostics can be difficult. All Yaskawa inverter
installations included the digital operator; some KEB inverter
installations did not.

Application mode
When programming other than CP parameters, in the Application
mode, it is necessary to enter a password code. This is done from CP.
0, the full Application password code being 440. The digital operator
then provides full access via the buttons, whilst the display provides the
precise data entry. The 1st display segment provides the parameter set
(where applicable), the 2nd & 3rd segments the parameter group and
the 4th & 5th segments the parameter number. There is a dot (.) suffix
after each parameter segment. This dot flashes (*), indicating which
parameter segment is currently active. The actual value of the
parameter set, parameter group or parameter number being displayed
by the pressing the right hand “select” button.
When running the escalator it is normal to leave the customer
parameter set to CP. 1, so that the inverter speed output is displayed, in
Hertz (run parameter ru. 3).

4.10 VACON NXL

With the introduction of the TravelMasterTM 110 and TransitMasterTM
120/140 escalators, KONE has moved to the VACON NXL inverter
drive.
The Vacon NXL performs exactly the same functions as the earlier
Yaskawa and KEB drives. The Vacon NXL can replace earlier drives
providing EMC compliance is maintained.
The Vacon NXL can be programmed via the removable digital operator
or it can be programmed using a laptop pc and the Vacon NCDrive
software, a USB-RS232 communication cable (KM50035446) and the
Vacon inverter download tool (KM50035446).
A full inverter application document is available on EDMS as

Escalator default parameter listings for all common sized (5.5kw -
22kW) Vacon NXL inverters are available on EDMS as document
52142380D30. This document provides the inverter programme listing
as a pdf and the software files for use with a laptop PC.
The default setting for the Vacon NXL 7.5kW 400V 50Hz inverter
drive is reproduced as an Appendix on page 141.
4.11 Assistance Handrail Drives

Escalators with a height rise of over 13 metres and Passenger
Conveyors greater than 100 metres in length often require the handrails
to be positively driven from both the drive and the reverse stations. The
additional assistance handrail drive, at the reverse station, guarantees
positive drive of the handrails and reduce the stress placed on the
handrail.
Because the main drive station powers both the step-band and the
handrails and because the main drive motor is subject to slip dependant
on the passenger load, the handrail speed will vary with that of the
stepband. It is therefore not satisfactory to simply install a second drive
motor at the return station to power the additional handrail drive
wheels, because this would provide a constant speed to the handrails,
which could result in slippage and thus damage to the handrails or the
drive mechanism and possibly put the travelling public at risk.
The assistance handrail drive motor is thus controlled by an inverter
drive, which can provide a variable speed output directly proportional
to that provided at the drive station. This ensures that positive drive is
provided at both the drive station and the reverse station, without any
slipping, stretching or looping of the handrails. The method of
providing a speed reference to the assistance handrail drive inverter
varies with individual machine designs and the make of inverter drives
employed. Most systems utilise an analogue reference relative to the
step-band speed. This analogue reference can be 0-10V, -10 to +10V,
0-20mA or 4-20mA. Sometimes, when long cable runs are required,
there is a dual conversion. A stable power supply is necessary (A97) for
any converters (A96). The speed reference can be generated in the
escalator controller (401/501) or can be a direct link between a Main
Drive inverter (A200) and the Assistance Handrail Drive inverter
(A201); this is known as a “master” and “slave” arrangement.
This master/slave arrangement is almost standard on KONE escalators
manufactured after 2002.
Always use the specific escalator circuit drawing and inverter drive
programme.
The example installation is Circuit Drawing 5089920D10 specifically
for escalators 310989.460-470 installed at Heathrow Airport, Terminal
5.
Here the Main Drive inverter is a 45kW KEB F5 and the Assistance
Handrail Drive inverter a 7.5kW KEB F5.
TC000193 / Issue: (A) / Copyright © 2014 KONE Corporation 4.11 Assistance Handrail Drives 139
The Main Drive inverter provides an operation speed of 0.5ms at 50Hz,

an inspection speed of 0.4ms at 40Hz and a stand-by speed of 0.2ms at
20Hz.
The Assistance Handrail Drive inverter provides an output speed
proportional to the 0-10V analogue input provided from the Main
Drive inverter. The 0-10V analogue output from the Main Drive
inverter is converted to 4-20mA for transmission and then converted
back to 0-10V for the input to the Assistance Handrail Drive inverter.
Note: the KEB F3’s analogue output is actually +/- 10V DC at pin 5
(&8) and the analogue input is +/- 10V DC at pin 1 (&2); and that this
is relevant to 100% speed. The A96/A96.1 converter DIP switch
setting, as shown, is therefore probably wrong.
The AHD inverter will probably be provided with a dedicated
programme; a KONE label is usually attached to the casing stating the
parameter listing part number.

4.12 Change of inverter drive supply

In 2005 on all ECO escalators a change of inverter drive supply was
made from the Yaskawa G5 to the KEB F5C.
All new escalators will be supplied with the KEB F5C as standard.
The Yaskawa inverter was always supplied with a digital operator,
early KEB units were often delivered without the digital operator.
Older escalators, which require replacement inverter drives, will be
supplied with the KEB F5C. The inverters input filter and braking
resistor will also require replacement.
Generally speaking the exchange is one for one, with no or minimal
changes required.
The terminal conversion chart below is for the OVE stand-by mode on
RTV and ECO release 0.9 & 0.95 escalators:

4.13 Maintenance
Basically the inverter drive is maintenance free. However, the inverter
must be kept clean, cool and dry. Do not leave enclosure doors open!
CAUTION
High AC and DC voltages are present.
• Follow correct isolation procedures.

• Only inspect once the reservoir/smoothing capacitor has
fully discharged (there is a discharge lamp – use only as
a guide).
CAUTION
Circuit boards contain CMOS devices and can be damaged by
touching (static discharge).
Inspection
• Check for loose connections.
• Check for build up of dust on the heatsink, IGBT’s and
circuit boards. “Traction dust” found on railway
installations can be a problem as it is conductive!
• Check the cooling fan is functioning (no abnormal noise
or vibration). Thermal problems lead to premature
failures!
• Check the reservoir/smoothing capacitor for
discolouration, odour or leakage (corrosive).
Parts replacement
• The cooling fan (usually a brush-less DC motor) has a
quoted life of 2 to 3 years, although 10 years is not
unknown. The number of fans installed varies i.e. the
KEB F5 utilises 3 fans, two fans for the IBGT heat-sinks
and one fan for the circuit-board. All three fans are
simple slot & plug fittings.
• The reservoir/smoothing capacitor has a quoted life of
approx. 5 years, although 10 years is not unknown.
Replacing capacitors is not a service engineers’ task.
144 4.13 Maintenance TC000193 / Issue: (A) / Copyright © 2014 KONE Corporation
Fault finding
Yaskawa inverters have given and continue to give exceptional
reliability. Unfortunately some KEB inverter installations are proving
to be less than satisfactory. The Vacon units used on the
TravelMasterTM/TransitMasterTM escalators are still relatively new and
as yet, in the escalator domain, unproven.
Once the escalator is fully commissioned and the inverter programme
is finalised, there are few problems. When there are problems, there is
very little that can be done other than substitution of the inverter drive.
However, always check the connections, the supply and that the signals
are being received before condemning the inverter drive.
IMPORTANT! Inverter failures are usually associated with
excessive HEAT!
• Undersized inverter (generally inverters are selected as
“next size” i.e. a 9kW motor requires an 11kW inverter).
• Ensure cooling fans are functional.
• Ensure ventilation systems are clear and clean.
• Ensure braking resistors are connected, clean and secure
(check resistance, open circuit resistors will “kill” the
inverter on down running escalators).
• Driving into an “open circuit” load usually destroys the
IGBTs!
Always refer to the escalators specific circuit drawing and inverter
programme. Generalities can be misleading.
Most inverter drives provide a fault code and a fault history; this may
be helpful in the diagnosis.
Most inverter drive manufactures offer a “service repair” option.
However, the age of the inverter and the cost of a new drive may make
this uneconomic.
When replacing an inverter drive, if possible, download or record
the original programme. It may be special or altered specifically
for that escalator!
TC000193 / Issue: (A) / Copyright © 2014 KONE Corporation 4.13 Maintenance 145
4.14 Regeneration
Some “transit” escalators incorporate a power regeneration unit which

is complimentary with the installed inverter drives. On escalators with
a leading load the power regeneration unit puts energy back into the
mains supply, rather than utilizing braking resistors; and thus provides
a more efficient escalator.
The regeneration unit usually selected by KONE is the REVCON
power feedback unit.
The REVCON unit is a self-contained unit connected to the mains
supply and to the inverter drives DC bus. Whenever the inverters DC
bus exceeds a predetermined level (voltage) the REVCON unit returns
power to the mains supply.
WARNING
The REVCON unit operates at high AC & DC voltages.
The REVCON unit requires special integration to ensure EMC

compliance. This necessitates the use of additional filters and screened
cables.
The REVCON unit generates heat and requires to be force-cooled and
placed so that there is a constant unrestricted airflow.
146 4.14 Regeneration TC000193 / Issue: (A) / Copyright © 2014 KONE Corporation
The REVCON unit is basically maintenance free. Ensure the unit is

kept clean and electrical connections are tight.
The REVCON unit can include up to 5 fault LED’S (dependant on
model):
Operation (ok) green LED
Phase-failure – red LED
Over-current – red LED
Over-temperature – orange LED
Fault (generic) – yellow LED
