It is of paramount impeztance for the reguiator system, in order te avoid ride and stability problems, that the following procedures are obeyed. 1) The Tachc Generator should be perfectly aligned with che high speed sheit. 2) Wherever 30ssible the drive for the Tacho Generator szould be taken rom the motor high speed shaft via a self eigning coupling. 3) Where be:: drives are used they should be of the searless type, cozzectly tensioned and correctly tracked. 4) The Tachc Generator output ripple voltage due to miss-alicament should not exceed 150 mVolts. Output -ipple voltages 2f this order or greater may be detected by =he regulato: and lead to a bad ride in the lift car. 5) The Tache Generator screened cable should be run directly back to zze controller without a break and routed awey from cables carrying thyristor controlled currents or cab-3s carrying currents of an inductive nature. 6) The Tachc Generator cable screen must be isolated at -he Tacho Gezerator and earthed at the appropriate term the controller. Failing zo comply with the above procedures may lead =o bad rides in the “ift car or system instability.TVL Asc, 100 Section 1 INTRODUCTION TO CONTROL SYSTEM The system is designed to give quality closed loop control of two speed Jift motors when used on lift applications of up to 1.8 m/s (350 F.P.M.) It offers the advantage that the regulator may be bypassed to give a standard two speed resistive control system if desired, providing prior provision has been made to the controller and to the well position detectors. The flow chart of the system is given in TVLD 100, The lift motor, two speed high torque machine, drives a tacho-generator giving @ precision speed feed back signal to minimise errors caused by differing motor characteristics. The speed pattern is derived from a regulated power supply to reduce target speed varintions coused by supply voltage fluctuations, Terget speeds are obtained by m" S " romp aiving stepless transitions between speeds An error summing junction compares the tacho-generator voltage to the remp target voltage to give an error signal which is fed end amplified by the error amplifier. Suitable non-linear rate of chenge feedback is applied to the input of the error amplifier to ensure rate of change stability. Dependent on the output signal from the error amplifier an electronic switch selects drive or brake mode. A control voltage governed by the output of the error amplifier is applied to the thyristor firing circuits giving full phase control of either drive thyristors (three phase inverse parallel configution) or the brake thyristors (half control bridge configuration). To assist the stability network, a small degree of overlap between drive and brake is provided thus ensuring a comfortable ride in the lift car.TVL Asc. 300 Section 1b SEQUENCE OF EVENTS Upon receipt of the signal to start, the brake begins to lift and contacts normally on contactor MC initiates the ramp which starts to rise until target value is reached. The lift thus accelerates smoothly and then runs at target speed. When the lift is signalled to slow, via positional shaft equipment, the remp starts to fall until approach speed is obtained. After a short dwell, levelling speed is selected vie shaft positional indicators and the lift speed slows to the selected levelling speed. At floor level the pattern is alloved to fall to the preset threshold point end hence the lift speed fells to zero, At vero speed, D.C. injection braking is applied to hold the lift until the brake sets. An on borrd timer, initisted when levelling speed is called for, disconnects the thyristor gate sionals after » preset time. Contacts of MC rre then open to remove power from the controller. SeeTViD 109 for controller speed selection circuitry and regulator connections.== Uatay a Ree Aa SCaSe SELise aes ey HOE web Ge we [PT eh Oy- $n, You foe Val Sy an nen rue 4 hts maf Sn0c!

The card chert of the system is illustrated in TVLD 107. A brief description and functions found on esch card is outlined below. Card DIM1 contains the isolating/step down transformers supplying the AC source to the card DT1 and the synchronising voltages required by the triggering card DT2, AC output from each transformer with respect to 0 volt rail is approximately 25 - 28 Ve Card DT1 contains 3f rectifier, unregulated D.C. and 15V D.C. regulated components. The phase sequence phase failure detector for the phases supplying the drive and brake motor windings plus the associated relay, the contacts of which are connected to pin 1 and 2, are fitted on this card. Also on this card is the Opto isolator relay "OIR" controlled by the enable timer on card D5, plus the Opto enable LED which should light up immediately a speed has been registered on board DI3. Card DT3 contains the systems relay speed legic circuitry allowing four basic speeds to be selected plus two additonal high speeds if requestéd at time of order. Switches and push buttons offer the facility of manually inhibiting high speed 1 (HS1) once HS1 has been selected, allowing for the checking of approach speed (APP) and levelling speed (LEVEL) during trimming. For a guide to the reconmended off card controller speed selection circuitry see TVLD 109. Note that the off cerd switching voltage is «pproximately 100V D.C. and is derived from G17 on the regulator. has all the potentiometers required for the adjustment of tarcet speeds, acceleration, deceleration snd threshold. Upon selection of a speed, registered on card DT3, # terget voltace is set and the acceleration ramp is enabled. The rate of rise and rate of decry of = ramps are adjustable by potentiometers shown as ACC and DEC respectively+ Note the pattern may be visually monitored on card DT2. Card DT5 contains the difference amplifier, stability circuits, error detect circuit, control voltage circuitry and enable ‘The ramp signal and tacho-generator signal are received on pin 12 and 10 where upon the tacho signal is rectified, inverted and summed with the ramp signal. The difference 9Cara pre Card DT7 Cara DT6 TVL.

Pin 13 and 14 are the output of ‘the drive and brake control amplifiers respectively. Pin 11 and 16 are enable outputs lifting the inhibits off the firing I.C."s on card DT2 end the opto inhibit on card DT1 when instructed to do so by the enable timer. This timer, generally enabled by the contact MC,is maintained over an adjustable length of time after the levelling speed has been released. Should the tacho siqnal deviate from the ramp signal or vice versa by a preset amount, the error detect amplifier operntes a relay with NC contacts connected to pin 18 end 19 which can be used to inmobilise the motor, Note that once the error detect relay hes functioned, manual reset is required by means of the push button provided. has mounted on it special firing 1.C,'s,one/phase plus one for the brake phase. The various phase sensing voltages from DTM1 and control voltages from DT5 are routed to the appropriate 1.Cs, where the duration of the firing pulse is determined by the control voltage to give complete phase control. The output is then modified by the transistor phase sensing logic ciruitry to ensure that the correct thristors are fired each half cycle. Since most of the control signals merge: on this board, it carries visual indicators relating to the appropriate input and output signa! Outputs to the opto isolator cards DT7 are taken from pins 2 to 9%. consists of four cards isolating and amplifing the firing signals before applying them to the appropriate thyristor gate. These cards receive their respective firing signals from card DT2. examines the rate of rise of the ramp, comperes it to the rate of decay of a self generated ramp and at an adjustable determinate, allows the high speed relay (HS1) to release. The consequence of maintaining HS1 by a time determined by thi card is to decrease floor to floor flight times. 20101 OVAL fra 0-5 NSCUSTOMER ADJUSTMENT POINTS VL A.C. 100 Section 7 The finished unit has been factory tested and has all preset potentiometers set to initial run values. ‘To obtain the best performance from the unit, some site trimming of the following potentiometers may be required.

As Preliminary Work 1) Check all safety circuits and ensure all safety switches are in order. 2) Check #11 wiring to the lift motor, tacho-generator and controller. See TVLD 1 for connections to regulator. 3) Check that the mechanical brake mechanism is set up according to the installation instructions. 4) Check that the thermistor terminals, RG19 and RG20 are linked out if motor thermistors are not fitted. Power Up 1) With car top test mode selected, i.e. relay TIR energised, switch on and check tell tale LED's. 2) Inspect "Phase Fault" LED and if lit, ewitch off and change over two input phases at the point of entering the controller thus ensuring the phases going to the brake have also been effected. 3) Re-apply power end if correctly connected the "Phase Foult"LED will remain unlit. Switch off. C. Pre-run Check 1) Ensure lift doors are closed ond remain closed by disconnecting "OL" in the controller. 2) Disconnect the levelling relays by disconnecting "LL" in the controller. D. Motor Rotation Check 1) Select car top test mode. 2) Switch on and signal the lift to move by momentarily shorting the terminals TU to TUD in the controller 3) If the lift car tries to travel down, switch off and change two phase over at the motor's HS terminals. 4) Switch on and re-check direction. 26TVL Asc. 100 Section Son: SPEED SETTINGS E Fr G H Ie Test Speed 1) With the lift controller as in C, select car top test mode and run the car. Adjust the test speed by means of potentioneter "TEST" on DTM. 2) Ensure LED "UP" on card DT2 lights when the lift is travelling up. If not, change over the leads to RG12 and RG13 on the regulator. Pre-Trimming Checks. 1) Check system is counterweighted correctly. Setting Levelling Speeds. 1) Ensure controller is as C and in normal lift mode. 2) With lift car at a penultimate floor (i.e. next highest floor if checks are being made with an empty car) register a call for the opposite penultimate floor. 3) Once LED HS1 is lit, switch SW1 on card DT3 off, depress push button PB4 and set levelling speed by potentiometer "LEVEL" on card DTS. Recommended lift speed setting is approxiamtely 10F.P.M. Setting Approach Speed. 1) Ensure SW1 is on, that controller is as C and that normal lift mode has been selected. 2) Repeat item G.7. 3) Once LED "HS1" is lit, switch off SW1 on card DT3 and set approach speed by potentiometer APP on card DTh. 4) Reconnect LL and ensure that lift slows end stops correctly Recommended approac speed setting is 50 F.P.M. Setting High Speed, 1) Ensure SWi is on, that controller is as C and that normal lift mode has been selected. 2) peat item G.2. 3) Adjust potentiometer HS1 on card DT4 for the correct contact lift speed. * 4) Check speed in both directions and if required adjust potentioneter "TACHO BAL." when lift is travelling up to obtain the same. * At this speed the motor should be running approximately 20RPN below its rated FL. RM aANE Bek TUN Section 9a cont. J. Levelling. 1) Connect levelling relays in circuit and with calls registered, check floor levelling. 2) ‘Trim levelling speed potentiometer on board DT4 and make adjustments to the positional shaft equipment if required for best performance. For fine tuning and ride comfort adjust the potentiometers outlined in section 6 to give best ride. Enable Timer Adjustment It is important that upon the completion of a lift trip the sequence of events is as follows: 1) Brake sets 2) Enable Timer times out indicated by the extinguishing of the OPTO ENABLE LED 3) Power is removed from the reguiator via contactor MC ‘The engineer is advised to ensure that a period of a least 1 second elapses between 2) and 3) above. 28TVL A.C. 100 Section 9b COMFUTER CARD ADJUSTMENT ‘The commissioning engineer hes the sole responsibility for taking adenuate safety precautions during the carrying out of these procedures. 1) When all speeds are set and the system is performing satisfactorily, insert computer card DT6. 2) Ensure lift doors are closed and remain closed by disconnecting "OL" on the controller. 3) With a call registered at penultimate floor, adjust potentioneter H.S. such that LED CHSI goes out when the lift motor reaches approximately 90 of the contrct speed. 4) Register single floor runs and adjust potentiometer CHS until minimum dwell at approach/levelling speed is obtained. LED CHSI should go out very shortly after LED 151. Note if the lift rushes the floor giving an abrupt stop, turn CHS anti-clockwise. 5) Cheek floor to floor runs for levelling at all floors and re-adjust potentioneter CHS as required for best performance. 2TVL 100 ADD ACVV TROUBLE SHOOTING In order to localize faults with minimum expense: 1) Connect 3 x 60w light bulbs as a star connected load to u, v, w terminals of the regulator. 2) Connect 2 x 60w light bulbs in series connected between + and - terminals of the regulator. These light bulbs will give an instant indication o: 1) the magnitude of the driving voltage 2) the magnitude of the braking voltage 3) the coincidence of the two voltages See TVLD 213 for additional guidance. In cases marked * in the following pages the engineer may: 1) Link out FDR 2) Replace thyristor fuses with cheaper 5 amp HRC fuses 3) Disconnect the brake 4) Disconnect and isolate the wires from the regulator to the motor windings This test procedure will enable checks by substitution without blowing expensive thyristor fuses.

(Adjust potentiometer DEC (DT4) such that speeds approach 150 FPM (0.76m/sec) and level 15 FPM (0.08m/sec) are discernible) b) Too high level speed. (Adjust level speed potentiometer to give lift speed or 10 FPM - 15 FPM when LEVEL LED (DT3) is lit) ¢) Suspect incorrect slowing and stopping sequence. (Ensure LED LEVEL (DT3) is extinguished approximately 1" (25mm) from floor level and that the following sequence is adhered to: 1) Loss of LED (DT3) level 2) 0.5 - 1.5 sec later brake sets 3) 0.5 - 1.5 sec later OPTO and IC ENABLE LED's extinguish 4) 0.5 - 1.5 sec later MC releases) d) Suspect regulator switches off before brake sets. (Ensure LED OPTO ENABLE/IC ENABLE LED's do not extinguish before brake sets. If they do increase potentiometer ENABLE TIMER DT5, however, ensure sequence in 7c is observed) e) Suspect a very free system. (DC injection cannot hold zero. Adjust pattern value at test point v (DT4) WRT OV (DT1) to 0.4V with lift at rest. If lift still shoots floor allow brake to set earlier by reducing timer DL1) £) Suspect incorrect distances for slowing and stopping vanes. (Check and adjust) Page 6 of 11SYMPT. Lift stalls short of floor Lift exhibits instability on acceleration or deceleration TVL 100 ADD POSSIBLE CAUSE a) Level speed too low. (Adjust level speed to 10 - 15 FPM) b) Tacho imbalance. (Check lift speed when approach speed is invoked with empty car up and empty car down. Adjust potentiometer Pl (DTS) TACHO BAL whilst lift is travelling up such that up and down speeds are equal) c) Suspect stopping signals. (Ensure correct levelling relays are invoked ie LRU then LRD in the up direction or LRU then LR4 in the down direction) a) Incorrect stability pot adjustment. (Turn STAB potentiometer (DT5) clockwise to minimise instability) b) Suspect tacho mounting or coupling. (Check tacho shaft and motor shaft are aligned). Check that tacho coupling is not giving cyclic irregularities. Where tacho drive is by belts ensure belts are correctly tensioned and running true. ¢) Mis-alignment of motor to gearbox (Re-align) Page 7 of 11EQUENCE FOR PB TVL 100 ADD For position of regulator indicators refer to TVLD 108a.
