Section

Section 2. CONTROLLER INSTALLATION

2.1.1 General
Before disconnecting the old controller measure the actual lift speed, motor RPM
and gearbox ratio as the data plates are not always accurate.
Nb: Use a hand held tacho for accurate speed measurement.

Controller cabinet must be installed in a location free from;

 Dust and dirt.
 Excessive heat and humidity.
 Internal controller temperature not to exceed 40°C /104°F
 Excessive vibrations.
 Mist or water
When mounting controller cabinet, ensure it is suitably supported.
Weight of controllers can range from approx. 60-120kg.
Wall mounted controllers may need to be supplemented with a stand under the cabinet.
All internal components of the controller must be protected against contamination from
dirt, dust, metal filings etc resulting from the mounting process and general operation.
A 100mm square open top duct mounted directly under the controller cabinet access
panels is recommended for cable entry to the controller.
Ensure controller cabinet and the controller cabinet doors (use earth studs on doors) are
grounded. Keep doors closed to minimize electrical noise.

2.1.2 Heat Dissipation

To avoid controllers and drives from over-heating they shall be installed in an

environment (air-conditioned if necessary) able to maintain temperatures less than 40°C.
If the drive overheats, the KEB drive displays the error message E .OH
When the controller enclosure has a thermostat-controlled fan installed, set the controller
thermostat to 30°C.
Filtered vents should be dis-assembled and cleaned or replaced when dirty or blocked.

2.2 Controller Ancillaries

2.2.1 Braking Resistor

Only install KEB supplied resistors.

KEB 15 Resistor (820W, 42 Ohm)
KEB 18 Resistor (2300W, 15 Ohm)
KEB 20 Resistor (3400W, 10 Ohm)

6
CONTROLLER INSTALLATION

The KEB VF drive is equipped with an external braking resistor. During regenerative
braking operation (empty car up or full car down) the braking energy is dissipated into
the braking resistor as heat.
 Mount the braking resistor external to and as close as possible to the controller
cabinet.
 The braking resistor may be mounted on top of controller cabinet. (Nb. If
drilling holes in cabinet protect against metal filings entering the cabinet).
 If mounting resistor to the wall, do not mount

 vertically with the terminals towards the top. Rising heat from resistor can
damage the terminals in this position.
 Ensure that ventilation air can move freely around and through the resistor unit.
 Ensure the brake resistor metal enclosure is grounded.
 Wire the braking resistor terminals PA and PB to the KEB inverter terminals ++
and PB using 4 mm shielded cable and ground the shield at the inverter.
 Keep the brake wiring segregated from other control wiring and the run as short
as possible.
 Ensure the braking resistor temperature is monitored to avoid the brake resistor
overheating. Connect the brake resistor temp switch sensor terminals OH1 and
OH2 on the braking resistor to terminals 61 and 62 (or 63 and 64) – Thermistor
Relay trip with manual reset.
 If the braking resistor temp switch opens due to an overheating brake resistor,
the circuit will drop C1 contactor, removing power from the KEB drive. This
shall also prevent a faulty brake IGBT from overheating the brake resistor to
dangerous levels.

2.2.2 Hoist Motor

It is recommended that all existing motors be re-wound to Class F specifications for

variable frequency control.
 Remove existing flywheel from motor shaft.
 Ensure the inverter and motor housing are grounded.
 Connect the hoist motor to the drive using shielded cable.
KebF5 15 (11kW) drive - 10mm² shielded cable.
KebF5 18 (22kW) drive - 16mm² shielded cable.
KebF5 20 (37kW) drive - 25mm² shielded cable.
 Install the motor cable in separate conduit/duct.
 The motor cable shield must be connected to the inverter PE terminal and the
motor ground terminal.
 If an existing motor is being re-connected ensure motor is wired in a
configuration which will provide full speed operation. Eg, Connect a 2 speed
motor to the fast speed winding. Slow speed winding will not be used.
 Wire hoist motor over temp thermistor to terminals T1 and T2 on the KEB
inverter.
 If the hoist motor overheats, the KEB drive displays the error message E.dOH
(Error. Drive Overheat).

CONTROLLER INSTALLATION

2.2.3 Encoder – Closed Loop Operation

Encoders are sensitive measuring devices and must be handled with care.
For closed loop operation fit an incremental encoder to end of the hoist motor.
Use flexible coupling to minimize vibrations.
Run the encoder cable (segregate the encoder cable from other cables or install in
separate conduit) back to the controller and terminate the 8 coloured wires to terminals
30-37. See page1 circuit diagrams. Encoder is supplied with 10m flex to aid in
installation.
These wires are fine gauge and it is recommended to strip off extra insulation and double
back and solder before terminating.
Ensure the unused conductors in the flex are not exposed. Separate these conductors
and tape back to the flex.
Ensure encoder flex shield is grounded.

2.2.4 SIS Shaft Information System

ECD normally supplies a SIS, Shaft Information System, to supply the required inputs
for positioning, slowing and levelling. These inputs are MSU, MSD and DZ.
Installation diagrams are enclosed in SIS kit.
For more information and magnet/limit layout diagrams see;
 Page 5 of circuit diagrams.
 ECD Controller Manual, Section 6 “Counting, Counting Method 00”, or
 ECD Controller Manual, Section 6 “Counting, Counting Method 01”, Pulse
Counting”. (Pulse board required. Encoder must be installed)

2.2.5 Limits

Shaft Mechanically Operated Limit Switches are required; 3 top, 3 bottom.

 Top and bottom slowdown (TSL and BSL) for position correction and to force
slowdown to terminal floors. See page 3 and 5 of circuit diagrams.
 Up and Down direction limits. See page 2 of circuit diagrams.
 Up and Down Final limits. In safety circuit. See page 2 and 5 of circuit diagrams.

2.2.6 Brake

To prevent voltage spikes and back emf/noise affecting the microprocessor;

Brakes must be suppressed at the brake coil with a reverse biased diode or, a reverse
biased diode with appropriate series resistor (100 Ohm, 5W) recommended.

2.2.7 Door Motors

To prevent voltage spikes and back emf/noise affecting the microprocessor;

Door motors must be suppressed at the door operator motor with the appropriate filter.
A surge absorber unit containing an RC network and varistor is recommended.

3.2.5 Asynchronous Motor Learn
Note: The procedure below is for a static learn with the ropes on.

Once an asynchronous lift is moving and if a laptop and the latest version of Combivis 6
is being used for tuning purposes, a Static Motor Learn should be carried out.

This can be found under Online Wizards in Combivis 6.

To carry out this procedure the following conditions must be met:

- The lift must be running on inspection in closed loop.
- All safeties must be working.

Before starting the procedure, MC relay must be removed from the controller.
A remote switch needs to be connected between M3 on the ECD board and Terminal 21
on MC relay base.

Once this is done in Combivis go to Online Wizards, Motor Identification.

Press Start Identification

15
When prompted to allow movement of the machine press No.

16
Press OK

Press OK

Press Ok

17
Now press OK then close the remote switch that was wired in.
C2 contactor should now energise and the learn should begin.

Once Combivis indicates that the learn has been completed turn off the remote switch.
The lift should now be turned off and the remote switch removed and MC relay re-
installed.

 4
Section

Section 4. Full Speed Running

4.1 Confirmations

Ensure SIS has been installed. See Section 2.2.4

Care should be taken to make sure that the magnet placement is as per page 5 of the
circuit diagram.
Note pay particular attention to the X and Y distances.
If the machine is to be driven closed loop, ensure the encoder has been mounted
correctly and parameter LF 10 = 2.

4.2 SIS Sequence Confirmation

The lift should now be driven top to bottom and bottom to top on inspection and the
following inputs should be observed to confirm there operation:
TSL, BSL, MSU, MSD, DZ, (and DZR if there are rear doors).

It is important to make sure that all these inputs trigger at the correct times;

 TSL and BSL for terminal floor correction. Ensures lift slows at terminal floors
by dropping fast speed command to drive
 On approach to the bottom floor MSD must come on just before BSL turns off.
 On approach to the top floor MSU must come on just before TSL turns off.
 Approaching floor level in the up direction you should get DZ then MSU then
MSD. DZ must mask MSU and MSD at floor level.
 Approaching floor level in the down direction you should get DZ then MSD
then MSU. DZ must mask MSU and MSD at floor level.
 In between floors there should be 1 MSU and 1 MSD.

Before proceeding ensure the actual running speed of the lift is

running at contract/rated speed. Check with handheld tacho.

Nb: If slowdown limits, magnets and accel/decel rates are adjusted

and lift is not traveling at contract speed, they will all have to be re
done again later when the speed is increased to the correct level.

19
4.2.1 Correction Run

The lift can now be switched to auto but it is recommended that the DDO switch be
turned on to ensure the doors do not open.
Now the controller should do a correction run and slow on approach to the bottom
floor, when BSL limit is activated (loss of BSL input on 100-173/4 board).
Lift should level in and stop when DZ, MSU and MSD input come on.
Once this has been done send the lift to the second top floor and observe operation.

4.2.2 Ride Quality

The next step is to adjust the acceleration and deceleration rates to achieve the desired
ride quality.
See graph page 40 in F5 Lift Technology manual for these settings.
Brake lift settings may also be adjusted in the drive to reduce jerk when starting.

4.2.3 Floor Levels

Adjust the MSU and MSD slowing magnets to ensure lift decelerates in time to reach
leveling speed.
It is suggested that approximately 50mm of leveling speed be achieved in both directions
for best floor accuracy.
Adjust the leveling speed in conjunction with the magnets to provide correct floor level.
Brake drop settings may also be adjusted to improve final stop.
Nb: LF41 is the time that the drive will hover whilst waiting for the brake to drop

4.2.4 Motor Maximum Current

Place 110% of contract load in the lift car.

Run the lift from bottom to top at least 3 times and record the stable reading from LI11.
Compare the recorded value with LD03.
If the recorded value is less enter this in LD03.

4.2.5 Emergency Terminal Slowdown

If the rated lift speed is above 1m/s then the SPD (Speed) and ETS (Emergency
Terminal Slowdown) circuits must be used.
These circuits are used to ensure that the elevator has decelerated on approach to the
terminal floor.

SPD relay is wired to terminal X2A.18 of the Keb drive (see p2 of prints)
When lift actual speed is below the value set in Parameter LF.44 of the Keb drive the
SPD relay will be energized.
SPD relay provides over bridging of the ETS limits shown on pg4 of the prints.
I.e. If the elevator is traveling below the speed set in LF.44 when it opens the ETS limit
in the shaft it will continue to run but if it is traveling above the speed set in LF.44 when
an ETS limit opens, the safety circuit is then opened causing an emergency stop.

20
The ETS limits (limit switches, reed switches or bi-stable switches) need to be positioned
inside of the terminal slow down limits (TSL and BSL) but at a reasonable distance from
the floor level. There positioning should allow for the lift to decelerated to below 90% of
rated speed before they are triggered in a normal slowdown situation.

Section 5. Combivis 6
Combivis 6 software, used in conjunction with the USB to Serial Converter and cable, is a
PC operated tool for programming, diagnosing and saving job parameter settings.

Combivis 6 is an alternate drive programming tool to the Lift Operator keypad (3.2.1) and
offers the benefit of a Laptop display of all parameters values (set vs actual), data,
oscilloscopes and job parameter saving.
