Speed reference scaling
The Speed reference scaling function converts the linear speed of the elevator (m/s)
to the rotation speed of the elevator motor (rpm). To ensure correct operation of the
function and the elevator, you must define calculation factors at the start-up of the
drive. These factors (parameters) are: gear ratio, sheave diameter and roping ratio.
The figure below illustrates the components of the function.
The figure below illustrates common roping ratio alternatives.
