FIGURE 1.5 IMC Performa Computer Swing Panel

CAR OPERATION CONTROL SUBSYSTEM - This subsystem includes the MC-MP2-2KProcessor, inside the computer swing panel, and the input/output boards that connect in adaisy-chained fashion (using ribbon cables) to the MC-MP2-2K Processor. A typicalIMC Performa controller will include one HC-PI/O board, one or more HC-IOX boards, and oneor more HC-CI/O boards. An SC-BASE-D interface board.

1.2 CAR CONTROLLER FUNCTIONAL LAYOUT

The car controller has four primary functions. Figure 1.6 shows these functional blocks and liststhe circuit boards associated with each function.

FIGURE 1.6 Car Controller Functional Layout

Car Operation Control (COC) This functional block covers logical car operation and safetymonitoring. An example of logical operation would be operation of the doors and response tohall and car call demands or special operations such as Inspection/Access, Fire Service, etc.Safety functions include checking that critical components release as intended, velocitymonitoring and Emergency Brake operation.

Car Communication Control (CCC) This functional block coordinates the flow of informationbetween the car controller and other equipment, such as terminals, modems, printers andGroup Supervisor.

Car Motion Control (CMC) This functional block is responsible for three different tasks: (1)developing an idealized speed pattern; (2) ensuring that the elevator follows the idealizedspeed pattern command by producing the necessary outputs to the rotating equipment; (3)independently monitoring the car velocity during Normal operation, Inspection operation, and


during car slowdown at terminal landings. It stops the car if a failure or unsafe condition isdetected.

Car Power Control (CPC) This functional block generates the necessary voltages for themotor armature, motor field, and brake. This includes the SCR Drive unit.

COP signals include call buttons, door open button, door close button, calllockouts, etc. See Appendix L, Option SmartLink for Car Operating Panel if applicable.

1.3.2 COC INPUTS AND OUTPUTS

The COC module is responsible for the logical operation of the elevator control system. Forexample, the COC may decide that the car should travel from one floor to another in responseto a car call, but leaves the speed control (acceleration, deceleration, etc.) to the CMCmodule.

The fundamental inputs that are required for the logical control of the elevator come to, andoutputs are sent from, the Main Processor board through three boards: the SC-HDIO board(high density I/O), HC-PI/O board (power input/output board) and the HC-CI/O board (callinput/output board). Each IMC Performa control system has one HC-PI/O board, and as manyHC-CI/O boards as are required to accommodate the number of calls in the particularinstallation. Additional miscellaneous inputs come to, and outputs are sent from, the MainProcessor board through as many HC-IOX and/or HC-I4O Input/Output Expansion board(s) asare needed.

The COC also includes a hardware monitor that checks the software system used to executemany of the safey functions. If the software system fails to execute its program, the hardwaremonitor will shut down the system. The hardware monitor is checked prior to every operatingcycle.


Power Inputs - HC-PI/O board

C Door signals - The HC-PI/O board receives the door-related signals, through the MainRelay board (SC-SB2K). The door related signals include the door reopening devices(photo eye, safe edge), car operating panel buttons (door open button, door closebutton), and the door position contacts (door open limit, door lock).

C Landing system signals - The HC-PI/O board receives some of the signals generatedby the landing system, through the SC-SB2K board. The landing system signals readby the COC module are the door zone, level up and level down signals.

C Operational mode signals - The HC-PI/O board receives a few of the operational andsafety mode signals, through the SC-SB2K board. These signals include the safetystring status, the inspection operation status, and the independent service status.Additionally, some of the fire service signals are also received by the HC-PI/O board,through the relay board (fire sensors, in-car fire service switch).

C Direction sensing inputs - Two direction sensing inputs (up sense and down sense)are read by the COC processor (again through the HC-PI/O and SC-SB2K) and areused to process the car position indicator logic and motor protection (MLT) logic.

Call inputs (car call and hall call) - HC-CI/O board

The call buttons and call indicators are wired to the control system and read by theCOC Processor through the call board(s) (HC-CI/O and/or MC-NC). The connection tothe call board is a single wire connection for both the button and the indicator (theterminal acts as both an input and output terminal). In multi-car group arrangements,system hall calls are wired to the group supervisor control panel (also to HC-CI/Oboards), but swing car hall calls are wired to the call board of the individual carcontroller, along with the car calls.

Power Outputs - HC-PI/O board

C Position indicators, direction arrows, and arrival fixture signals - Eight positionindicator outputs are provided on the HC-PI/O board. Should the particular installationhave more than eight landings, additional position indicator outputs are providedthrough the use of HC-PIX Position Indicator Expansion boards. The up and downdirection arrow indicators and the up and down arrival lantern outputs are also providedon the HC-PI/O board. The output terminals for these indicator outputs are located onthe HC-PI/O board.

C Fire service operation signals - Two outputs associated with fire service operation aregenerated on the HC-PI/O board, and are routed through the SC-SB2K board. The firewarning indicator output generates the visual/audible signal in the elevator during a firephase I recall, and the Emergency stop switch bypass output (ESB) is used forrendering the Emergency stop switch inoperative, also during a fire phase I recall.

C Door control signals - Four signals are generated by the COC module to control theoperation of the doors. These outputs are generated on the HC-PI/O board, but arerouted through the SC-SB2K board for connection to external relays. These signals arethe door open function, door close function, door close power, and nudging outputs.Should the installation have a floor with both front and rear openings, a rear door logicboard (HC-RD) is used to generate the corresponding outputs for the rear door.


NOTE: With the optional SmartLink Serial Communication for CarOperating Panel (COP), the call buttons and indicators are wiredto the MC-NIO board in the COP and the signals are sent viaserial link to and from the MC-NC board in the controller cabinet(see Appendix L for more information).

C Car movement signals - Four signals are generated by the COC module to performthe logical control of car movement. These outputs are read by the CMC module,which creates the proper speed profile for the type of run requested through theseoutputs. The four signals generated by the COC are up direction, down direction, highspeed, and relevel speed. As an example, a high speed run in the up direction wouldbe requested by the COC by generating the high speed and up direction outputs.

Call outputs (car call and hall call) - HC-CI/O board

The call buttons and indicators are connected to the control system through theHC-CI/O call board(s) (see NOTE). Outputs to the indicators are generated by theCOC, through the HC-CI/O board(s). The connection to the call board is a single wireconnection for both the indicator and the call button (the terminal acts as both an inputand output terminal). In multi-car group arrangements, system hall calls are wired tothe Group Supervisor, but swing car hall calls are wired to the call board of theindividual car controller, along with the car calls.

FPGA SAF

FIGURE 1.19 IMC-DCP Drive Control Processor Board


FIGURE 1.20 SCR-RIX Relay Interface Board

SCR-RIX Relay Interface board - The function of the Relay Interface board is to convert highvoltage signals to low voltage signals. This board receives signals from the SC-SB2K andcontactors BK and M12, the rotating equipment, and the field wiring. It converts these signalsfrom high to low voltage levels so that they can be used by the IMC-DDP-D processor. TheRelay Interface board, located below the IMC-SMB3(5) Unit, also contains terminals for thebinary floor code sensors, position pulser or position encoder, tachometer or velocity encoder,loadweigher, normal terminal switches, and emergency terminal switches.

FIGURE 1.21 HC-ENCS Encoder Power Board

HC-ENCS Encoder Power board - Either a tachometer ora velocity encoder is used to provide a velocity feedbacksignal. The tachometer output is connected to theSCR-RIX board for processing and then sent to theIMC-DCP board. The output of the velocity encoder isrouted through the HC-ENCS board, which isolates theencoder and supplies its power. The velocity encodersignal is then sent to the IMC-DCP board through theIMC-MBX board. The HC-ENCS board is mounted over theSCR-RIX board on the left side.


1.5.2 CMC INPUTS AND OUTPUTS

CMC INPUTS - The main signals received by the IMC-DDP-D Processor board are:

C Quadrature signal - The SCR-RIX board receives the quadrature signal from theencoder wheel (LS-QUIK-1R) or from the hoistway transducer which reads the holeson a perforated steel tape (LS-QUAD-2R). The IMC-MBX then sends the positioninformation, which locates the car in the hoistway within 0.1875" (4.7625 mm) accuracy,to the IMC-DDP-D board.

C OLM signal - The Outer Leveling Marker (OLM) signal informs the IMC-DDP-Dprocessor that the car is exactly 12" (304.8 mm) from the floor.

C Terminal switches - For each terminal landing, up to five terminal switches can bebrought to the SCR-RIX board. The safety computer on this board compares the carspeed with a reference speed for each terminal switch. In addition, the IMC-DDP-Dprocessor verifies the position of the car at each terminal switch. When it is determinedthat the car is overspeeding or appears to be at a wrong position when a terminal switchis encountered, the IMC-DDP-D processor discontinues the normal speed pattern andsubstitutes an alternate pattern that forces the car to rapidly reduce speed and thenmove at a reduced speed to the next available landing.

C Car status - Specific signals, such as direction up (85) or down (87), high speed (88),leveling (E14), inspection (E31), etc. are sent to the SCR-RIX and passed through theIMC-MBX board to the MC-DCP and IMC-DDP-D boards, to allow the pattern generatorto create the appropriate speed pattern. The pattern information is then sent to the IMC-SMB3(5) Unit, which controls the car's motion.

C Floor encoding - When the car stops at a landing, the car top landing systemgenerates and sends to the IMC-DDP-D processor, a maximum of eight signals thatprovide the absolute floor number. A parity check is done to verify the floor encodingdata.

C Tachometer signal - The raw tachometer (velocity feedback) signal is processed onthe SCR-RIX board, reducing the tach voltage to a range that can be accommodatedby the IMC-MBX board. This signal is then sent to the IMC-DCP processor where thesignal is compared with the ideal velocity pattern to ensure the proper motion of the car.

C Velocity encoder - If a velocity encoder is used as the velocity feedback transducer(instead of a tachometer), the encoder output is routed through the HC-ENCS andIMC-MBX boards, and these signals are then processed in the IMC-DCP board.

C Contactor Redundancy Inputs - Status signals (MR, CNPM and CNPB) are sent fromthe SCR-RIX board to the IMC-DDP-D board to verify that the relays and contactors areoperating correctly (MX, M12, M1, M2 and BK).

CMC OUTPUTS - The main signals generated by the IMC-DDP-D Processor board are:

C Current command signal - The current command (DCC), generated by the IMC-DCPprocessor, goes to the SCR Drive. This signal is used by the SCR-LGA board (insidethe System 12 SCR Drive) to create the triggering signals for the SCR Drive.

C Run enable (RE) - The run enable signal, generated by the IMC-DDP-D and IMC-DCPprocessors, allows motion. After receiving a direction signal, with no failure detected inthe PT relay contacts and after verifying sufficient motor field, the IMC-DDP-D


processor generates the signals to energize the RE and PT relays. Enabling theserelays provides power to the SMB3(5) Unit. This signal also indicates that the drive isready for motion (see Section 6, Normal Operation Flowchart).

C Fault (FLT) - The fault output is generated by the IMC-DDP-D processor, as well as bythe two safety processors on the IMC-DCP board. This signal energizes the FLT relayon the SCR-RIX board. The output is enabled during normal operation, thereby pickingthe FLT relay. When the IMC-DDP-D or IMC-DCP processors detect a failure in thedrive system or unsafe operation such as overspeed, the fault output is disabled,thereby de-energizing the FLT relay. Dropping the FLT relay will de-energize the mainsafety relays (SAFR1 and SAFR2), unless the FLT relay has been bypassed. The IMC-DDP-D and IMC-DCP automatically restore the fault output when the fault condition nolonger exists, thereby resetting the FLT relay. However, if four faults occur within sevennormal runs, or if a single Emergency Terminal Switch fault (ETS) is detected, the faultoutput will not be automatically restored. The DRV RST button on the IMC-DCP boardmust be pressed to clear the fault.

C Intermediate speed (INT) - The IMC-DDP-D board generates this signal to indicatethat the car is traveling faster than VLI, Leveling Inhibit Speed. This output is used bythe Car Operation Control (COC) to decide when the car should stop and doors open.VLI is adjustable. The INT output energizes the INT relay which disables the LE relay,thereby disabling the LU and LD (leveling input) signals.

1.6 CAR POWER CONTROL (CPC)

1.6.1 CPC COMPONENTS

The voltages required by the motor armature, motor field and brake are generated by the CarPower Control components, including:

C IMC-SPI, SCR Power Interface BoardC System 12 SCR DriveC SCR-LGA, SCR Logic BoardC IMC-SMB3/5 Motor/ Brake Regulator Module

1.6.2 CPC INPUTS AND OUTPUTS

Car power control converts AC voltage to DC voltage for application to the hoist motorarmature, motor field and brake field. The components that supply power to the armature arelocated inside of the System 12 SCR drive. The components that supply power to the brakeand motor fields are located inside the IMC-SMB3(5).

CPC INPUTS

C Control signals - Control signals that originate in the IMC-DDP-D processor are routedto the System 12 and IMC-SMB3(5) via the IMC-MBX, IMC-DCP, SCR-RIX, and IMC-SPI boards. MC-MP2-2K control signals are routed through the HC-PI/O, SC-SB2K,SCR-RIX and IMC-MBX boards.

C AC Power - AC power is applied to terminals MP01 and MP02 of the IMC-SMB3(5) forthe motor field supply. Contactors BK and M12 route AC power to the IMC-SMB3(5) forthe brake field supply. Contactor MX routes power to the M1 and M2 contactors thatconnect the armature circuit to its source of voltage.

Sequence of Operation - When demand for motion is placed into the system, the motor fieldis brought up to maximum DC voltage (forcing) determined by parameter MFFV. Once 80% offorcing field current is detected the RE (Run Enable) relay will prepare contactor MX to engage.The MB (Motor Brake Triac) signal supplied by the SC-SB2K board completes the circuit to pickup MX.

The subsequent picking of contactors M1 and M2 is monitored via auxiliary contacts thatprovide voltage to relay M12. Finally, relay M12 allows contactor BK to pick which provides ACvoltage to the IMC-SMB3(5) to allow the brake to pick. After the RE signal is received and thebrake Speed Pick Delay has elapsed, the IMC-DDP-D processor (pattern generator) is releasedwhich allows the speed profile (see Section 6 Normal Operation Flowchart) to be generated.

Once the Car arrives at the target floor, relays M1, M2, M12, MX and BK remain energized fora period determined by the TRED (Run Enable Drop Delay - nominally 1.20 s). This allows thedrive time to turn off all voltage and current prior to opening any relay contacts.

Troubleshooting Power Components - There are test points and indicators on the criticalboards that allow the technician to view these signals.

1.8 LOAD WEIGHING SYSTEM (Optional)

Some gearless machines exhibit rollback at the start of car motion. IMC Performa controllershave built-in capability to use load weighing information to pre-torque the machine, therebystarting the elevator with a specific value of torque on the armature to offset the load.

The IMC PERFORMA controller can also use load weighing information to make intelligentdispatching decisions. If the load weight is very light, the controller can be programmed to limitthe number of car calls allowed (anti-nuisance). The controller can be programed so that at acertain load weight, the lobby landing door timer is reduced, thereby initiating the process ofmoving the car out of the lobby. When the load weight exceeds a preprogramed value, thecontroller can be instructed to bypass hall calls. And, if the load weight exceeds a predefinedmaximum at which it is considered unsafe to move the elevator, the controller can preventmovement. When this occurs, a visual or audible warning alerts the passengers that theelevator is overloaded.

Load Weigher - Isolated Platform (LW-MCEIP) is used for elevators with isolated platform cars,(see Appendix N, MCE Load Weigher Installation and Adjustment). Load Weigher - CrossheadDeflection (from K-Tech International) is used for elevators with non-isolated platform cars. Theload weigher signal is sent to the SCR-RIX board.

SECTION 2INSTALLATION

2.0 GENERAL INFORMATION

This section contains important instructions and recommendations pertaining to site selection,environmental considerations, wiring guidelines and other factors that will ensure a successfulinstallation.

2.0.1 SITE SELECTION

In choosing a proper location for the control equipment, the factors listed below should beconsidered.

Provide adequate working space for comfort and efficiency.

Make sure the equipment is arranged logically, taking into consideration the location ofother equipment in the machine room and proper routing of electrical power and controlwiring. Note that MCE controller cabinets do not require rear access.

Do not install equipment in a hazardous location.

Provide space for future expansion if possible.

Installing a telephone in the machine room is desirable as it makes remote diagnosticsand adjustment assistance easily available.

If any areas in the machine room are subject to vibration, they should be avoided orreinforced to prevent the equipment from being adversely affected.

Provide adequate lighting for the control cabinets and machines. A good work space,such as a workbench or table, should also be provided.

The location of the Drive Isolation Transformer is flexible, however, wiring is reducedif it is located near the controller.

2.0.2 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS

The following are some important environmental considerations that will help to provide for thelongevity of the elevator equipment and reduce maintenance requirements.

The ambient temperature should not exceed 32E to 104E Fahrenheit (0E to 40ECelsius). Operation at ambient temperatures up to 1100 F is possible, but notrecommended due to probable shortening of equipment life. Adequate ventilation andpossibly air conditioning may be required.

The air in the machine room should be free of excessive dust, corrosive atmosphere orexcessive moisture (relative humidity below 95%) to avoid condensation. A NEMA 4 orNEMA 12 enclosure would help meet these requirements. If open windows exist in themachine room, it is preferable to place cabinets away from these windows so thatsevere weather does not damage the equipment.

INSTALLATION 42-02-72052-2

Very high levels of radio frequency (RF) radiation from nearby sources should beavoided. High levels of RFI may cause the computers to shut down the system. Theuse of hand-held communication devices close to the computers may also causeinterference. Interference from permanently installed radio transmitting antennas isnormally rare. This controller complies with EN12016 and EN12015 for radiation andimmunity.

Power line fluctuation should not be greater than 10%.

2.0.3 RECOMMENDED TOOLS AND TEST EQUIPMENT

For proper installation, it is recommended that the following tools and test equipment be used:

Digital multimeter, Fluke series 75, 76, 77 or equivalent. Oscilloscope, preferably storage type (a storage scope is mandatory for adjustment of

a high speed gearless machine). Hand-held tachometer. AC clamp-on ammeter. DC ammeter is also highly recommended. Telephone and test weights. Hand-held radios. Assorted soldering tools, rosin flux solder, electronic side cutters, long-nose pliers,

flashlight and the MCE screwdriver provided with the controller. DIGITAL MULTIMETER AMP-PROBE MEGOHMETER

OSCILLOSCOPE TELEPHONE

Job Prints page SCR includes detailed drawings of the IMC Performa control system.

Specific parts of a schematic can be referred to by the Area Number located at the leftmargin of the schematic.


NOTE: It is strongly recommended to review the wiring guidelines in sections 2.1.1and 2.2 before bringing wires into the controller.

NOTE: Pay very close attention to the hierarchy of the inspection inputs. In orderto maintain safe operation of the lift while on access, car top or in carinspection, the inspection circuits must be wired as shown in the prints.

CAUTION: Do not allow metal chips to fall into the electronics.

Keep the covers on the System 12 SCR Drive and IMC-SMB Unitwhile wiring to prevent damage to the components and to keep metalchips away.

CAUTION: All conductors entering or leaving the controller cabinet must be runin conduits. High voltage, high current conductors, such as powerconductors from the fused disconnect or isolation transformer, mustbe separated from the control wires. It is essential that theTachometer/Velocity Encoder control wires be placed in a separateconduit, away from these high current conductors.

2.1 CONTROLLER INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

Mount the controller(s) securely to the machine room floor and cut holes to permit bringing thewires into the cabinet as shown in Figure 2.2. There may be labels in the cabinet to help identifywiring hole locations. Note that the standard MCE car control cabinet does not require rearaccess. Also, the doors are reversible and removable for ease of wiring.

2.1.1 CONTROLLER WIRING GUIDELINES

Figure 2.2 shows the recommended routing for the field wiring. Observe the following:

a. PC boards can be easily damaged by Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). Use a properlygrounded wrist strap, as shown in Figure 2.1, when touching the PC boards.

FIGURE 2.1 ESD - Electrostatic Sensitivity of PCBs

Do not touch PC Boards unless you are properly grounded.


b. Bring the wires in from a location that allows use of the wiring ducts inside the cabinet.The terminals are located conveniently near wiring ducts.

FIGURE 2.2 Example of Typical Controller Layout

C Call terminals are located on the HC-CI/O board(s). Inputs and outputs arelocated on the HC-IOX and/or HC-I4O boards.

C All position indicators, arrows and gong enable terminals are located on theHC-PI/O and HC-PIX boards or, if a gong board is provided, position indicatorsare also provided on the gong board (HC-GB).

C Terminals for the door operator are on respective door boards or on separateterminal blocks.

C Several 1 and 2 bus terminals are provided in different locations.

C Other terminals may be supplied on separate terminal blocks.


WARNING: Connecting the Group Supervisor directly to the building AC supplymay cause damage to PC boards. Also, connecting out-of-phasepower will cause damage. Check the phasing of the individual car2-bus lines before connecting them to the Group Supervisor. With avoltmeter set to AC Volts, measure between adjacent car 2-busterminals. The meter must read less than 10 VAC. If the reading ishigher, reverse the power leads going to the car's T1 transformer atL1 and L2, and measure again.

C OLM, position pulser and absolute floor encoder signals are terminated into theSCR-RIX board. Velocity encoder signals are wired to the HC-ENCS board.

c. When routing field wiring or power hookups, avoid the left side of the HC-CI/O andHC-PI/O boards.

d. When it is time to hook up the wires to the controller, connect the wires according to thehoistway and car wiring prints.

e. Proper motor branch circuit protection in the form of a fused disconnect switch or circuitbreaker must be provided for each elevator according to applicable electrical code.Each disconnect or breaker must be clearly labeled with the elevator number. Theelectrical contractor must determine the wire size for the main AC power supply and forthe wiring from the disconnect or breaker to the Drive Isolation Transformer.

f. If the car is part of a group system, there are a number of details relating to the wiringof the interconnects between the individual cars. They are as follows:

1. If a group controller cabinet is provided, refer to the drawing titled GroupSupervisor Field Wiring Print in the job prints. Power for the M3 GroupSupervisor cabinet comes from the local Car Controllers as shown in Job Printsdrawing (-2). The main AC power supply wiring size must be determined by theelectrical contractor.

2. A separate conduit or wiring trough must be provided for the high speed seriallink from each car controller to the Group Supervisor cabinet. The wiring detailsfor the high speed communication link are fully detailed in the print titled"Instructions for Connection of High Speed Communication Cables." The wiringdetails should be followed exactly. Again, note the requirement for routing thehigh speed interconnect cables through a separate conduit or wiring trough.

3. If applicable, also wire according to the print titled "Group Interconnects toIndividual Car Cabinets." Be sure to ground all cabinets according to Section2.2.1.

4. The field wiring to the Group Supervisor cabinet is found in the print titled"Group Supervisor Field Wiring Print."


2.2 GENERAL WIRING GUIDELINES

Basic wiring practices and grounding requirements are discussed in this section.

2.2.1 GROUND - To obtain proper grounding, quality wiring materials and methods must be used.

All grounding in the elevator system must conform to all applicable codes. Proper groundingis essential for system safety and helps to reduce noise-induced problems. The following aresome grounding guidelines:

The grounding wire to the equipment cabinet should be the same gauge (diameter) orlarger than the primary AC power feeders for the controller and should be as short aspossible.

The grounding wire between equipment cabinets may be branching or a daisy chain,but the wire must terminate at the last controller and NOT loop back.

Provide a direct, solid ground to the controller and motor. An indirect ground, such asthe building structure or a water pipe, may not provide proper grounding and could actas an antenna radiating RFI noise, thus disturbing sensitive equipment in the building.

The conduit containing the AC power feeders must not be used for grounding.

2.2.2 HOIST MOTOR

If this installation is reusing existing rotating equipment, it is strongly recommended thatall wires be disconnecte
