Start Parameter Message ('I' '7')
Before starting a travel, the lift controller transmits the desired travel distance and the allowed maximum lift
speed to the drive controller. After calculation of the optimal speed, the drive controller answers with the
minimum distance to travel and the required deceleration distance according to the calculated speed.
Start Parameter Message from Lift Controller
Before each travel, the lift controller sends the following message:
STX 1C 'I' '7' V
max
Ss1 Ss2 Ss3 Ss4 Ss5 ETX
V
max
:
'1' = Intermediate Speed 1 (V3 in DCP notation)
'2' = Fast Speed (V4 in DCP notation)
Ss1 ... Ss5 :
Desired distance in cm (ASCII coded decimal format)

Response to Start Parameter Message by Drive Controller
The drive controller responds with the following message.

Sg1 Sg2 Sg3 Sg4 Sg5 Sv1 Sv2 Sv3 Sv4 Sv5 ETX
f
typ
:
Type of travel ('s' = short travel, 'l' = long travel, with l (long), the maximum lift speed is reached; with s (short)
it’s not reached).
Sg1 ... Sg5 :
Total distance in cm (ASCII coded decimal format). If Ss > Sg, a long travel (l) is performed.

Weight Measurement State of the Car ('I' '8')
Note:
This function is currently not supported by the drive controller.
To improve the drive's starting behavior, optionally, the lift controller can send the percentage value of the car
load weight before starting a travel.
Weight Measurement Message from Lift Controller
Before starting the travel, the lift controller optionally sends the load weight as a percentage of the nominal load.
STX 1C 'I' '8' L1 L2 L3 ETX
The function should not be used in conjunction with the Fast-Start function.
L1 ... L3 :
ASCII coded percentage value of the load weight relating to the nominal load in BCD-format. L1: hundreds, L2:
tens, L3: ones
Examples :
0: Car empty, load 0%
25: Load 25%
100: Full load 100%
Response Weight Measurement Message from Drive Controller
The drive controller responds with the following message.
STX 1C 'I' '8' ETX
Compatibility to Former Lift- and Drive-Controller Software
To achieve compatibility to former lift- and drive-controller software:
• The drive controller must also accept the starting command of the lift controller without getting the "I8"
message before.
