Motion Control Engineering Motion 4000 User Manual

Motion 4000 Traction Elevator Control
1-6 Manual # 42-02-2P24
Hand-Held User Interface
The hand-held user interface, mPac, provides a portable
interface and a means to upload new firmware to the system.
The hand-held can be plugged in to a CAN connection in the
controller, on the cartop, or in the car (if one is wired).
Car
Landing and Positioning
Motion 4000 uses one of two landing systems; encoded
magnetic tape or perforated steel tape and magnets.
The ELGO encoded steep tape system uses a 1/2-inch wide,
Gray code, magnetically encoded tape and two, independent
sensor heads (in a single housing) for absolute position con-
trol under all powered conditions. The tape provides a
unique code for every 1mm of travel. In addition to position,
simple distance-over-time calculation provides extremely
accurate speed feedback. A third, also independent system
provides speed feedback directly from the hoist motor.
The LS-EDGE positioning system uses hall-effect sensors and perforated steel tape to report
position as the car moves through the hoistway. 5.5-inch magnets are used at each door zone;
one row for front openings, a second for rear openings. The system auto-corrects at each door
zone to prevent error accumulation.
The system uses capacitor-stored power and non-volatile memory to retain position informa-
tion in the event of a power failure, continuing to capture information for 22 seconds after
power loss and storing the final reading for use after power restoration. Mechanical final limit,
ETS, and ETSL switches are used but normal terminal switches may be virtual, existing only in
system software, or mechanical depending upon specific controller capabilities. The LS-EDGE
system may be used with MCE iControl or Motion 4000 elevator controls.
