Power to soar, performance to admire
KONE Alta™ high performance specification
features the new generation EcoDisc®‚
hoisting machines based on PMSM
(Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor)
technology to replace conventional AC
gearless machines. The advanced group
control system takes advantage of the vast
memory capacity and processing speed of
modern computers. The specification is
enhanced by a PMSM-powered door
system and expertly designed single- and
double-deck elevator cars that minimize
noise and vibration, ensuring outstanding
ride comfort.
The sum of the parts equals state-of-the-art
technology, a truly extraordinary elevator
system.

KONE Alta™ innovations include aride that is ’tuned’ for comfort.Vibrations, sway and noise areminimized for impressively smoothtravel to and from each stop.
Optional information screens in thecars may be used display elevator,building or advertising messages totenants and visitors.
The KONE Alta™ door systemcontributes to user comfort andconvenience. It provides fast andintelligent operation for maximumtraffic performance while alsoserving as architectural elementsboth in the cars and on landings.
KONE E-link monitoring systemlinks all elevators and escalatorsto the facility managementsystem of the building.
KONE Alta™ accommodates a broadrange of decorative treatments toallow extension of chosenarchitectural design themes into theelevators.
The Alta™ system sets a new benchmark in elevatoring major buildings,combining advanced technology with architectural innovation.
Minimum passenger waiting andflight times are ensured by theTraffic Master 9900 GA controlsystem. Its Genetic Algorithmfeatures multi-target-optimizingcapability. Artificial Intelligence andFuzzy Logic are applied to performsupport tasks.
KONE Alta™ combines design and technology
The powerful double-rotor EcoDisc® machines are amazinglyefficient and compact. They feature twice the power-to-weightratio of equivalent conventional AC gearless machines.

The heart of a giant
The high speed KONE Alta™ elevators
are powered by double-rotor versions
of the KONE EcoDisc® hoisting
machine coupled with an optimized
vector-controlled V3F drive system.
Since their launch in 1996, the
superior characteristics of these
revolutionary synchronous, permanent
magnet power units have been
proven in thousands of installations
worldwide. The high-speed EcoDisc®
units offer up to 35% better energy
efficiency than conventional AC or DC
gearless machines while delivering
outstanding performance and an
extraordinarily smooth and quiet ride.

The largest EcoDisc®MX 100 machinecan generate a top speed of 17 meters a second (3 400 fpm). Thanks to itsunique axial design its weight is still onlyhalf that of conventional AC or DC units.

..are compact and feature a very high power-to-weight ratio. They offer flexibility for machineroom layouts and save up to 30 tons of weight(high-speed 8-car group), reducing structuralsupport requirements.
Elimination of slip andmagnetizing losses, 92% efficiencyand 0.95 power factor combine toreduce energy and make asignificant contribution towards a building’s environmentalperformance. Low thermal lossesminimize the need for machineroom air conditioning. Low peakcurrent means lower-duty risersand fuses, and reduced cost ofemergency power equipment. All these shrink the up-frontinvestment, and also join the directand indirect long-term advantagesthat all KONE elevators ‘Poweredby EcoDisc®’ provides.
The KONE Alta™ single-wrap ropingarrangement not only helps achievea higher standard of ride comfort,it also extends rope life to two tothree times over the traditionaldouble-wrap alternative.
Permanent magnets are afundamental feature of allEcoDisc® motors.

Symphony of movement
KONE Traffic Master 9900 GA group control
system is the nerve center working within a
high-speed serial communication network to
create an interactive symphony of
movement throughout the building.
The system derives its superior traffic
performance from the parallel use of several
’soft computing’ methods. The dispatch
function is based on the advanced, high-
speed Genetic Algorithm (GA) which selects
the best possible routing of the elevators for
the most effective passenger service in all
traffic situations.
Performance is further enhanced by the
application of Artificial Intelligence and Fuzzy
Logic for statistical traffic forecasting and
traffic pattern recognition tasks.
The KONE Alta™ system moves more people
efficiently, comfortably, and with shorter
waits and travel time.
1400/ALTA-kapeat-TM 13.10.2001 22:03 Page 7
The high-speed TMS9900 GA call allocation processconsists of four stages: First, the passenger flows arerecorded, identified and measured for short term anddaily traffic statistics. The TMS9900 GA uses ArtificialIntelligence to ‘learn’ the traffic and to generateforecasts for each weekday. Using short- and long-term forecasts based on this knowledge, a FuzzyLogic module generates detailed models of theprevailing traffic patterns. The measured traffic dataand the momentary prevailing traffic patterns,together with actual drive time and stop time data,are then processed by the Genetic Algorithm. The result is optimized dispatching decisions andlanding call allocations in all traffic situations,including the most complex and demanding mixedtraffic which includes incoming, outgoing and inter-floor traffic components.
The TMS9900GA employs aSerTrans™ local area network toensure Alta™ elevator systemsoperate reliably and efficiently. A comprehensive array ofalternative and optional controlfuntions and features ensure perfectmatch with specific individualbuilding needs.
The group controller uses the fastGenetic Algorithm protocol thatgenerates best dispatchingsolutions in all traffic situations.

Smooth, swift and quiet
Creating perfect ride comfort in high-speed
elevators is a science, requiring complete
understanding of the complex forces and
elements involved and how to control them
to always maintain passengers well within
their physiological ‘comfort zone’.
KONE Alta™ technology masters all these
areas; the elevators are designed, engineered,
installed and verified to deliver a truly
exceptional, comfortable ride. Vibrations
and sways are barely perceptible. Machine,
rope, guiderail and wind noises are
dramatically reduced.
The motion perceived by passengers is
controlled thanks to acceleration and
deceleration rates tuned to customer
preferences. Efficient traffic management
reduces crowding in the cars and speeds
call response. It is performance that is finely
tuned to enhance your building.

For very high-speedsaerodynamic deflectionshrouds are added toreduce air turbulenceand noise.
1400/ALTA-kapeat-TM 13.10.2001 22:03 Page 10
The main ride comfort relatedcomponents are the guide rails, carstructure and sling, door, rollerguides. Sound attenuators help sealoff machine room noise. Hoistwayconstruction and layout are alsosignificant factors.
Each building project presents its ownspecial ride comfort challenges. Projectplanning includes correct componentselection, calculating the static anddynamic balance of the elevator cars,and the preparation of carefully detailedgeneral arrangement drawings.
The insulated, double-wall Alta™ carenclosure eliminates up to 25dB(A)of hoistway noise and features‘tuned’ ventilation. The door panelsare fully insulated. Sealed doorpanel edges prevent air leaks andnoise. The heavy-duty dooroperator uses the same PMSMtechnology as the hoisting units.
Specially developed KONE high-riseinstallation methods, tools and trainedspecialists are essential for achieving the‘Triple-A’ ride comfort class.
Adjustable acceleration and decelerationparameters of the V3F drive system alongwith the highly controllable synchronousEcoDisc® machines, allow you to select yourlevel of performance, from brisk efficiency(solid line) to silky smooth (dotted line) take-offs and landings.
Precision instruments are used toensure that the measured ridecomfort parameters match thetargeted specification.
A perfect elevator ride, the KONE ‘AAA comfort class’ is standard in Alta™ elevators.It is achieved through: –
KONE Alta™ ‘Triple-A’ ride
• Well-designed componentry
• Thorough planning
• Expert installation
• Verification of the ride comfort specification.
