Many of the features that would only be found in “de-lux" lift installations are included as standard at no extra cost. Other refinements, for example, include the recognition of a stuck push batton, which is consequently ignored until it is released and re-operated. Each incoming and outgoing signal has an LED indicator, and there is a numerical display for the lift position and direction. There is an additional display provided to show certain present and past events of the lift, which can be recalled without interfering with normal lift service. OPERATIONAL FEATURES ‘The Microprocessor lift system replaces the TVIC Reed Relay Collective section and again resides in a rack. Although it is tempting to use the latest solid state components, we have however, used as mich possible, field proven industry standard components. Not only do they already have a high record of reliability, but also they are readily available from manysources throughout the world. SIGNAL PROTECTION All external incoming signals are sourced from 100 volts dc., optically isolated, and suitably filtered to the microprocessor. The operation of a Relay, to the lift engineer, certainly satisfies areas of uncertainties in his mind, that solid state components cannot reach. A Relay is used for each output and is capable of switching 5 amp at 250 wolts ac. Together with the inputs, every incoming and outgoing signal has the capability of withstanding wrong connections, or a 500 volt Megger, or a Bell Buzzer, or a short circuit. All car and shaft equipment remain exactly the same and so does 98% of the wiring as would be used on a standard Reed Relay collective. 98% of all terminal markings also remain the same, so there is no re-learning needed for those already familiar with our standard external diagrams. SELF TEST ‘The microprocessor system can regularly test itself in its operation and in its program. Upon recognition of an error it will report and automatically reset itself accordingly.Page 3 BRIEF DESCRIPTION EVENT MESSAGES The microprocessor is able to recognise and record several events of the Lift, and at which floor it occured. Whenever one of these events occurs, the system will "bleep" a warning and display the code. ‘The code will remain displayed, unless superceeded by a different event, or until the fault is cleared. Up to 20 events can be stored, and are supported by automatically recharged batteries for at least 40 days. Further events to be stored will cause the oldest event in the queue to be discarded. ‘The engineer can recall these events on demand without interfering with normal lift service. In addition to this, the engineer can determine, how many days ago, when these events occured, the lift position when they occured, and also the number of occasions that each event occured during that time. ‘The events detected are... (0) Switch-on reset sequence (1) Primary safety circuit failure. (i.e. Stop switch operated) (2) Program loop failure. (3) Lift stopped outside door zone. (4) Doors opening protection fault. (5) Gate lock fault. (6) Gate lock tipped on high speed. (7) Gate lock tipped on slow speed. (8) Gate pre-locking failure. (9) Doors closing protection fault. (A) Weight switch. 1108 FL. (8) Lift engineer in attendance. (C) Landing calls transfered. (milti-car systems) Landing & Car calls cancelled. (E) Shut-down due to 3 successive attenpts to start. (F) Limited force Door closing. (a) Memory failure. (3) Program "Stack" error. (L) "LISI" extinguished. (P) Program error. (j) Start failure. (0) User defined. "User defined" means it is possible to have an event recorded of your own chosing. DOOR CONTROL ‘The time the doors park open before automatically closing (7SR), is adjustable on site in a similar way in which our "plug-in" timers are adjusted. ‘The park open time is automatically shortened if the light ray is operated whilst the doors were closing. In the event of light ray failure, it is ignored.Page 4 BRIEF DESCRIPTION Light-ray discrimination between Car and Landing calls is to be added later. After 4 successive Door reversals or after the doors have been continously held open for more than 25 seconds, the Doors will try to close under a limited force whilst at the same time a buzzer will sound in the Car. (This feature only applies to certain Door operators eg. GAL). LIFT IN SERVICE INDICATOR Failure of the Door to close properly from the above event will cause the Doors to park open, cancel all calls, and the LISI will be extinguished. Further Car or Landing calls registered, will cause the Doors to make another attempt to close. If the Lift has been idle for more than 10 minutes, it will test itself by going to an adjacent floor and returning, seeking a... Lift moving ~ Lift stopped ~ Doors opening ... sequence of events. If this sequence does not occur, the LISI will be extinguished. Another attempt will be made after further 10 minutes of idleness for confirmation. If all is well, no further attempts will be made. If again another failure, ‘then Landing calls are ignored and the LISI will remain extinguished. The LISI will also be extinguished if the Lift has made 3 successive attempts to start, but prevented from doing so by permanent Gate lock failure or, for example, PFRR operation. STANDARD FEATURES (A) Fireman's control & indicator. (B) Special Service control. (C) Homing (D) Landing door re-open once, or any reasonable number requested. (E) Light ray failure. (F) Stuck button detection. (G) Differential door timing. (H) Advance call cancel. (3) Optional use of separate door close push. (kK) Weight switches 95% & 1108 FL. & Bypass indicator.

WwcH 1983 = By examining the external wiring diagrams provided for the lift installation the engineer will recognise that the external wiring shaft and car equiment is the same as would be for a standard TVIC Reed Relay Collective lift controller. In effect, the Reed Relay Collective Rack has been replaced with a rack containing a Microprocessor controller system. All incoming wiring to the Rack (Car and Landing pushes etc.) are all again at 100 volt DC and all the outgoing wiring for Indicators are normally at 12 volt AC. REAR ACCESS All wiring to the Rack terminals are made at the rear of the Rack 80 access to the rear of the Control Panel is required. (Front wiring is available, if specified at quotation stage) . When the wiring is made to these terminals, it is to be noted that the Terminal Board hinges downwards to give access to the Microprocessor Motherboard. (If ever this is required). Although the Indicator Terminals are at the rear, the common indicator return (INR) terminal, is located with the Motor Panel Terminals at the front, on some control panels. While the lift controller is being connected up, it is best to leave all the printed circuit cards plugged in the Rack and the Perspex cover on, so as to prevent the ingress of dust during this time. It 1s safe to use Bell-Buzzers when checking out wiring. SWITCHING ON THE CONTROL PANEL Before switching on for the first time, unplug the Power Supply Module and the I0 (Input/Output) Cards, by pulling them forward by about § inch. Since Microprocessor operation is not required at this stage, also remove Fuse TPF. Then, after switching on, test all the Terminals at the rear of the Rack to ensure that no 240 volt AC wiring has been mistakenly connected there. Pay special attention to the CT and CT? wiring and the Reset Limits (SSU and SSD). Once this test is satisfactory, the Cards and the Power Supply can be plugged in again and the Perspex cover put back on again.MARCH 1983 Page 2 coast SSHTTCHING ON MICROPROCESSOR RACK Re-insert TPF Fuse and switch on. The following checks should be made. (a) (b) te) (a) te) ‘All LED Indicators on the POWER SUPPLY MODULE should be illuminated, showing that their related fuses are intact. An earth fault on the Car Push Feed (CPF) will blow the CPF Fuse. An earth fault on the Landing Push Feed (LPF) will blow the LPF Fuse. (It should be noted that CPF and LPF fuses rely on LAR Relay being energised) . An earth fault on the CT1 and CT2 circuits will blow the 100V Fuse. In this case, the LED's for CPF and LPF will also be off. All the fuses used on the Microprocessor Rack are 20mm fuses. Fuse Value Location ~1w 250mA B/S Module +0 3a P/S module 2av 2a P/S Module 100v 1A P/S Module LF 250ma P/S Module CPF 250mA P/S Module ‘SON 500mA a/s P/S Module SOP a/s P/S Module s19 3A a/s P/S Module S75 1A a/s P/S Module IsF 1A a/s (AUX Card OIF A ‘TO Cards Qn ALL THE CARDS the green LED should be on, (the MEM card has two), indicating the individual logic supplies are good. ‘The relative position indicator LED on IO boards 4 onwards will show the position of the lift recalled from nerory, (where it was, when the lift was switched off last). If the Position recalled from merory is unacceptable the lift will assume the top floor position and will want to "home" to the bottom floor after a short delay. n the CPU card the Anber LED marked "HALT" should be off. On the MEM CARD the Amber LED marked "CLOCK" should be flashing on and off, showing that the Microprocessor clock is functioning properly.Page 3 COMMISSIONING NOTES (f) On the AUX CARD the Amber LED marked "LOOP" should also be flashing on and off, showing that the Microprocessor is functioning properly through the program. ‘The Bleeper on this card will also "bleep" for.a few seconds. (Provided that the Bleep switch on the card is "on" ) « ‘The EVENT CODE Display will also show a "0" for a short time, or this may be over-ridden by a "1" and will remain displayed. A "1" means that the lift is on "Car Top Control" or another reason for Relay LAR on the Motor Panel, not being energised. (3) On the IO CARDS, any red LED illuminated on the front row shows that an incoming signal is present. The notation on the Perspex cover will give reference to what these signals are. The rear row of LED's will show which output relay is energised. See Fig. 1a(I0 card Signal Allocation ~ 18 floors). Note a fuse (OIF) is fitted to earlier models on all the 10 cards in series with the camon feed to the output relay contacts Of relays0,14 & 5 (e.g. Board 4, PI1, CAl, P2 & CA2). Please refer to Fig. 1a for other outputs so protected. CAR CALLS. Car Calls can be entered at the Microprocessor Rack by use of the Pushes fitted to the front of the fourth IO card onwards. ‘The corresponding output relay will energise showing that the Car Call has been accepted. (If pushes have not been provided, a pair of “jumper pins" have been fitted instead, as in the case for all the other 10 cards). DOOR PARK OPEN TIMING Also known as “7SR" time is adjustable by a potentiometer which is mounted at the front of the AUX card above the “EVENT CODE" Display. HOMING Homing is enabled by connecting Terminals HOM to CT2. The lift will hame to the bottom floor or to the floor specified, at the time of ordering. NOTES REFERING TO DUPLEX The Duplex comprises of two sinplex lift control panels communicating with each other via a special interconnecting cable, provided by TVIC in order to share the work in dealing with landing calls. If communication is lost, e.g. by unplugging this commication cable the lifts will automatically assume full simplex operation.Page 4 COMMISSIONING NOTES ‘This means that the first lift completed can be put into service while installation work continues an the second lift. ‘The connecting up of the landing calls, LPF, LAF & INR, to the second lift, and plugging in the communication cable is done last of all to achieve Duplex operation. Since the Landing Call Acceptance feed (LAF) is common to both lifts, the LAF supply from each lift has been rectified to DC, and connected to the other lift's LAF supply. The Landing Push feed (LPF) is also connected to the other lift's LPF. This is to ensure that a lift can operate independently in the event that the other lift is switched off. Therefore when the installation is complete and a lift is switched off, this lifts LPF (100 vic) and LAF (12 vdc) are still lived since it is being sourced from the other Lift. (Not forgetting the transitory signals from the landing call pushes) . PLUGGING IN THE COMMUNICATION CABLE 1. Switch off. 2. Disconnect green/yellow wire from POSN card. 3. Remove POSN card. 4. Remove Power Supply Module. 5. Pass cable plug from underneath, through hole in Rack bottom plate. 6. Re-insert Power Supply Module. 7. Revinsert POSN card. 8. Re-insert green/yellow wire on spade connector on Posy card. 9. Plug in cable into socket on the POSN card, giving support behind the POSN card with the other hand while doing so. (It will be observed, that for the Power Supply Module to be removed the POSN card mist be removed first.) 10. Ensure that the dil switch (CTS), on the POSN card is set forward towards the card handle. G.

Different values may simply be specified at the time of ordering, or changed at a later date by a PROM exchange through the post etc, or by personal call. ‘The "Lift Service Available" (LSA) indicator output is always provided from the Microprocessor unit, (fourth relay output on the 1st IO card), but this indicator is not shown on the external wiring diagrams unless it is specified at the time of ordering, because of the different types of LSA indicators used. ‘The "LSA" indicator is dependant on the Microprocessor Unit's general decisions in whether the lift is able to attend to hall calls. ‘The "LSA" indicator will also be dependant on the LISI ("Lift In Service Indicator") Part of the lift program, if the LISI feature has been specified at the time of Ordering. (see event code "L"). Once the "LSA" indicator is cancelled, it will not return until the lift is moving again on normal service, or until the doors are closed, the gate locks made and "Car Preference" time has elapsed. If the lift is part of a duplex pair the "LSA" indicator being cancelled implies that all hall calls are to be attended to, by the other lift. (0) Switch-On Sequence When the lift is switched on, the Microprocessor Unit (MPU), will begin its reset routine, write a "0" on to the Event Code display and store it in the event queue and then enter the lift program. ‘The MPU can also be manually reset at any time by operating the "Reset Push" ‘on the CPU card. (1) Be: Safety Circuit Failure ‘The LAR Relay (Lift Available Relay), on the motor panel provides this signal to the MPU. Whenever IAR Relay is de-energised, for example, due to the stop switch operated, or the lift switched to maintenance control, a code "1" will be displayed. The code "1" will remain displayed while this situation continues to exist. All car and hall calls will be cancelled and the "LSA" (Lift Service Available) indicator will be off. (This LSA indicator is only provided when requested). (2) Program Loop Failure ‘This indicates that the MPU was unable to function properly VERS 38 MARCH 1983Page 2 EVENT CODE DESCRIPTION through part of the lift program, such that it gets "stuck" and nothing else gets done. (Under normal circumstances this is unlikely to occur, but it is included for completeness). After a short delay, the "Loop Flag Monitor" on the AUX card, will deliberately reset the MPU. The MPU will again enter its reset routine, generate a code "0", and re-enter the lift program. Part of the reset routine checks to see whether the call to reset was made by the "Loop Flag Monitor" circuit. If true, the MPU will also generate a code "2", (3) Lift Stopped Outside Door Zone Here an attenpt has been made by the MPU, to pilot open the doors but the "Door Open Contactor" (0c), has not energised. After a short delay and that the "Door Zone Relay" (D2) is not energised, a code "3" will be generated. The MPU will then seek another car or hall call elsewhere, to send the lift to. This fault, for example, could be caused by a gate lock tip on low speed, or “Low Speed Time Limit" (LSTLR) time-out. (4) Doors Opening Protection Fault ‘This is when the doors have failed to finish opening within 15 seconds. A code "4" will be generated and the MPU will stop piloting the "Door Open Contactor" (0c), and the "LSA" indicator will also be cancelled. After a short delay the MPU will pilot the doors to close, so that the lift may move to another floor. This fault, for example , could be caused by an obstruction in the landing door track. (5) Gate Lock Fault ‘The lift is idle with the doors closed and with the gate locks made up. If a gate lock is then broken, a code "5" will be generated. The code "5" will remain displayed while this situation continues to exist. ‘This code can occur through excessive gate lock bounce, or by someone opening a landing door (not necessarily at the same floor as the lift's position), or by a (6) Gate Lock Tipped On High Speed Tipping a gate lock on high speed will cause the Lift to stop inmediately. ‘The MPU will note this by generating a code "6". After a short delay, the Lift will re-start provided that the gate lock has remade. If the gate lock is still broken, a code "5" (Gate Lock Fault), will be generated as well. VERS 38 MARCH 1983Page 3 EVENT CODE DESCRIPTION (7) Gate Lock Tipped On Low Speed ‘Tipping a gate lock on deceleration or slow speed will cause the lift to stop inmediately. The MPU will note this by generating a code "7". After a short delay, the lift will try to open the doors , (since it is most likely that the lift was intercepting that floor, in response to a call registered there). If the lift is in the door zone, the doors will open. If the lift is not in the door zone, a code "3" will be generated. The lift will then re-start provided that the gate lock is re-made and there are calls elsewhere. If the gate lock is still broken, a code "5" will also be generated. (8) Gate Pre-lock Failure In this case, the lift is in the zone, but unable to move in response to a call because of lock failure. A code "8" will be generated and the lift will re-open its doors in order to make another attempt to close and make up the gate Jock. After three unsuccessful attempts to start, the lift will then park with ts doors open and a code "E" will be generated. (see code "E"). (9) Door Closing Protection Fault ‘This is when the doors have failed to finish closing within 15 seconds. A code "g" will be generated, the doors will reverse and park open, all cards will be cancelled. The "LSA" indicator will also be cancelled. Prior to this situation occuring and that there are calls present, the MPU will reverse the doors if they failed to finish closing within 7 seconds, (without a code "9" generated or call loss etc.). Three attempts are made to close within 7 seconds and then the doors will go for the full 15 seconds to close. Following a door closing protection fault, the doors will park open and will only close again if a car or hall call is operated. If a door closing protection fault occurs again, the lift will then only respond to ear calls. ‘This fault may be caused by an obstruction in the door track, or persons reluctant to move clear of the doors. (A) Weight Switch 1108 Full Load WS2 Relay on the motor panel will illuminate the "Overload Warning" indicator in the car. The MPU will generate a code "A", cause the doors to re-open and refuse to close until the load is reduced. The code "A" will remain displayed while this situation continues to exist. (WS2 Relay is only fitted when an "Overload Warning" indicator has been specified). VERS 38 MARCH 1983Page 4 EVENT CODE DESCRIPTION (B) Lift Engineer's Entry Pressing button "P4" on the AUK card will cause the MPU to write "three bars" on the event code diplay and store it in the event queue. On his (or her) next visit to the lift installation, the engineer can interrogate the MPU to find out what faults have occured since the last visit. (C) Call Transfer If the lift has not moved in response to calls present for over 50 seconds, hall calls to which it should have attended will be released to the other lift (if one exists) a code "C” will be generated and the "LSA" indicator will be cancelled. If “Limited Force Door Closing" feature has not been specified, the MPU will sound a "Selfish User Buzzer" discontinously (if fitted), in the lift car, in ‘order to encourage the occupant to let the lift go. If the lift still has not moved in response to calls present for over 100 seconds all car calls will be cancelled. The Buzzer will stop and the "LSA" indicator will remain cancelled. If the lift is operating as a simplex, all hall calls will be cancelled as well. (E) Three Unsuccessful Attempts To Start After three successive pre-lock failure (code "8"), or three start failures (code "s"), all car calls will be cancelled, hall calls released, the "LSA" indicator cancelled, and a code "E" generated. ‘The lift doors will park open and will only close again if a car or a hall call is operated. If another code "E" is again generated, following a further three unsuccessive attempts to start, the doors will again park open, but will only respond to car calls. (®) Limited Force Door Closing (Or “Door Nudging). This feature is only available if the door operator is suitable and that it is specified that "Door Nudging” equipment is to be included on the motor panel. Provided that there are calls present, Limited force door closing will come into operation if the doors are held open for over 25 seconds by safety edge or door oepn push, or that there has been 4 door reversals cuased by the safety edge, light-ray etc, or that the doors failed to finish closing within 7 seconds. A buzzer will sound discontinously in the lift car, and the doors will close under limited force disregarding safety edge or light-ray operation. (The door open push is still effective in reversing and holding open the doors, but the doors will start closing inmediately the door open push is released). VERS 38 MARCH 1983Page 5 EVENT CODE DESCRIPTION If the doors fail to finish closing after 15 seconds, so that the lift can move, door close protection will operate and a code "9" will be generated. ‘The doors will then reverse and park open. (see code "9"). (H) Memory Fault ‘The MPU has found fault with the integrity of its RAM. (Included for completeness) . (3) Program "Stack" error The MPU has found fault with its “Book keeping" and has reset its "Stack Pointer". (Included for completeness). (&) “LISI" Extinguished (Lift in Service Indicator). The LISI feature is available if specified at the time of ordering. If the lift has been idle for more than 10 minutes, it will test itself by going to a adjacent floor and returning, seeking a ... (Lift moving - Lift stopped - Doors opening) ... sequence of events. If this sequence does not occur within defined time limits, the "LSA" is cancelled. Another attempt after a further 10 minutes of idleness for confirmation. If all is well, no further attempts will be made. If again another failure, a code "L" will be generated, the doors will park open, and the lift will only try to respond to car calls. The lift will automatically test itself if the lift has been moving or has its doors open for an unusually long time. (®) Program Error ‘The MPU has added up all its program instructions and data and the resultant number does not match with a "Checksum" number also fixed into the program. (included for completeness) . (7) Start Failure ‘The MPU has signalled for the lift to start and the lift has not done so. After a short delay, the lift doors will re-open and a code "s" will be generated. After three unsuccesfull attempts to start, the lift will then park with its doors open and a code "D" will be generated. (see code "D"). This fault, for example, could be caused by operation of the "Phase Failure and Reversal Relay" (PFRR), or the Motor Overload Trip. VERS 38 MARCH 1983(vo) Page 6 EVENT CODE DESCRIPTION User Defined Another special event may be recognised by the MPU if requested at the inquiry stage for a lift control panel. ‘VERS S.R. 3. E. 0. E. 38 MARCH 1983Page 1 ‘VIC MICROPROCESSOR COLLECTIVE LIFT CONTROL SYSTEM EVENT CODE LOG Recording Of Events ‘The Microprocessor system is able to recognise specific events in the Lift operation. These events are as follows: - CODE EVENT (0) ‘Switch-on Reset sequence. a Primary safety circuit failure. (i.e. Stop switch). (2) Program loop failure. (3) Lift stopped outside door zone. (4) Door opening protection fault. (5) Gate lock fault. (6) Gate lock tipped on high speed. a) Gate lock tipped on slow speed. (8) Gate pre-lock failure. (9) Door closing protection fault. (a) Weight switch. 1108 FL. 8) Lift engineer in attendance (Three "bars" displayed.) (c) Landing calls transfered. (Multi-car systems.) Landing and car calls cancelled. () Shut~down due to 3 successive attempts to start. ®) Limited force Door closing. (@) Menory failure. @) Program "Stack" error. (b) "LISI" extinguished. ) Program error. 2) Start failure. () User defined. “User defined" means it is possible to have an event recorded of your own choosing. Whenever one of these events occurs, the system will display the Event Code for approximately 5 seconds and "bleep" a warning. The code is also stored in a queue in memory together with the position of the lift when the event occured. If the code and the position of the lift is the same as the last entry in the queue, the code will not be added to the queue, but a memory location attached to this code, will be incremented. We can therefore determine how many times this event occurred. Also attached to each event in the queue, is a memory location which is incremented approximatel} 24 hours so that determine day Sporenents ; ly every we can haw many days ago VERS 38 MARCH 1983Page 2 EVENT CODE L0G Up to 20 events can be stored in the queue. Introducing another entry will cause the oldest event in the queue to be lost. Automatically rechargable batteries are used to retention, in the event of supply failure, for at least 40 days. Recalling Of The Event Codes Recalling the Event codes does not interfere with normal lift service and can be done at any time provided that the supply is available. New events are still recognised and entered into the queue. Pressing Button P1 once, on the AUX. card, will cause the most recent Event code to be displayed. At the same time, the local Position Indicator (on the POS'N card), will display the position of the lift when that event occurred. The "decimal point" is also illuminated as a reminder that the position shown, is not necessarily the present position of the lift. Pressing Button P2, will cause the local position indicator to display the number of times this event occurred. Pressing Button P3, will cause the local position indicator to display the number of days ago that this event occurred. A "0" being displayed, indicates today. If the number exceeds 19, the plus sign "+" will be shown. Pressing Button P1 once again, will cause the next, (that is the preceding) , Event code to be displayed, and the local position indicator will again display the lift position when that event occurred. Operation of Buttons P2 and P3, (which is optional), is again as described above. Stepping through the event queue is therefore effected by pressing Button P1. Following the oldest event, a hyphen "-" will be displayed. Pressing Button PI once again, will recall the first most recent Event again. Exiting The Event Recall Mode Pressing the red Button P5 will cause a hyphen "=" to be displayed and after 2 seconds, the local position indicator will then show the present position of the lift.
