1.- INTRODUCTION
The ALJOTRONIC CONTROL 2 control panel is a microprocessed control panel which has been
designed to cover a wide range of uses and is adaptable to the needs of the clients and the type of elevator.
The main feature of this control panel is its distributed system, consisting of a main control board (TC1)
located in the control panel, and several additional boards located in the car (TC2, COT-01) and landings
(TC3).
The boards are joined through a bus, which provides significant advantages :
- Reduction in the number of signalling wires to the installation. With a 4 wires bus for the shaft as well as for
the car, all signalling may be controlled independently from the number of floors and signal type (up and down
lights, hall lanterns, etc.).
- Flexibility. It allows new functions to be incorporated, special boards may be designed which would be
connected to the bus anywhere in the installation.
The programming allows the user to cover the basic characteristics of any elevator (number of stops, type of
doors, etc) as well as, the possible peculiarities of a certain installation (through car, screen overlapping, car
door delay, non-consecutive floors on the position display, etc.), all is done through 3 keys and LCD display
incorporated in the main control board (TC1).

NOTES
* FIRE SERVICE
The fire service key must be located on the lobby and may be programmed in the control panel. Once
the fire service switch has been turned on, the elevator will proceed as follows:
- THE LIFT WILL GO TO THE LOBBY
If on its way, the lift has to pass through the lobby, all the calls will be cancelled and it will stop at the
lobby. If the lift does not pass through the lobby, all the calls will be cancelled and it will stop at the
nearest stop following its direction, and, without opening doors, the lift will travel to the lobby.
- THE LIFT WILL NOT ADMIT CALLS
Once the lift arrives at the lobby, it will not admit calls.
* CAR PREFERENCE
In the case of the car with a Car preference key switch, it will only admit calls coming from the car
when it is activated.

Switch 1 is used for select Normal or inspection depending on how the N / I switch (car top connection box).
Switch 2 is used to save new parameters to the eeprom memory of the TC1 electronic board. When the
Parameters option of the TC1 electronic board is selected, and after the programming is modified, the TC1
electronic board will show Switch 2 to OFF, then the switch 2 must be placed in OFF position, and it must
not be changed to ON until the TC1 electronic board shows Switch 2 to ON (while switch 2 is selected in
OFF position the datas are stored in the eeprom memory). After the datas are stored in the eeprom memory,
if switch 2 is not placed in ON position, the TC1 electronic board will be always working in Inspection mode.
The way of working is the same with the Password option. It is very important that in power supply off
and in power supply on, the switch must be in ON position, this is for avoid a modification of the programming
stored in the eeprom memory.
When there are more than one controller working in multiplex (duplex, triplex,) they must have the switches
3 & 4 in a different position.
For instance, for duplex: one controller will have SW3=SW4=OFF and the other will have SW3=ON and
SW4=OFF.
For triplex, two controllers will be as a duplex and the third will have SW3=OFF and SW4=ON.

V1.3

3.5.2.- V3F CAR DOOR OPERATOR BOARD

For V3F car operators, the controller adds a special TC3 board, which gives the open and close orders to
the V3F board, and detects the reopening signal coming from the V3F board in case of the photocell ,
obstacle, etc). This board is located in the connection box on top of the car and has a LED which indicates
the following:
- If it flashes quickly , it means it functions and communicates with the TC1.
- If it flashes slowly, it means the board has power supply (24Vdc), but does not communicate with
the TC1.
- If the led is off, it means the board does not work or has no power supply (24Vdc).
This can control single or double entrances, so there will be only one TC3 board in the connection box for
either case.
The TC3 board has one output per operator in order to give the open or close orders. When the TC3 board
receives an order from the controller to close doors, actives an output, which actives a relay that gives the
order to the V3F board. When the TC3 board receives an order from the controller to open doors,
deactivates the output, which deactivates the relay that gives the order to the V3F board, which will mean that
it will open doors.
The TC3 board features an input per operator which reports from the V3F boards when the doors are
reopening (photocell , obstacle, etc). This signal works as follows:
- Doors reopening: open contact.
- Doors not reopening: close contact.

3.6.- DOT MATRIX POSITION INDICATOR BOARD

It is connected to TC2 or TC3. Provided with :
- 3 dot matrix displays, 7x5 points. Floor indicator
- Output for speaker of the arrival at floor.
- Car: up & down lights
- Landing: hall lanterns (arrows). Indicates car direction. They will turn on when it gets near the floor
where the car stops and turn off when the doors close.
Provided with DLI Led which indicates that the power supply is on.
Shows any combination of two digits (numbers or letters, capitals as well as small letters).
Moreover it may indicate special states by means of symbols.

5.- ADJUSMENTS AND PUT IN SERVICE OF THE LIFT

5.1.- Limit switches
There are two limit switches at each end of the travel. The FRI is at lower part of the shaft. The FRS is at the
upper level of the shaft. In the SKM motor room less both switches travel with the car and actuators are fixed
to the shaft wall (see SKM Installation Manual). In other type of elevators both switches are fixed to the shaft
wall and actuators travel with the car.
The FRS actuator must be fixed in such a way that when the car is stopped at the upper level the contact is
still closed. It should be slightly higher.
The FRI actuator must be fixed in such a way that when the car is stopped at the lower level the contact is still
closed. It should be slightly lower.
The other element are the speed change switch. CMB at the bottom of the shaft. CMS at the top of the shaft.
In the SKM motor room less both switches travel with the car and actuators are fixed to the shaft wall. (see
SKM Installation Manual). In other type of elevators both switches are fixed to the shaft wall and actuators
travel with the car.

21

V1.3

When the controller does not know where it is. For instance, when goes from Inspection mode to Normal, it
travels to reset (correction travel). The controller checks if either CMB or CMS are activated (contact
opened), if that is the case, checks whether the detectors are detecting a screen. If this is the case the lift will
know where it is. Reset finished. Otherwise it will move until it reaches a screen. If when it goes from
Inspection mode to Normal, neither CMB nor CMS are activated, it travels to reset to the lower level
(correction travel). This travel will end when CMB is activated and the detectors are in front of a screen.

5.2.- One speed elevators

With these elevators, there is one screen per floor, which is the stop screen. The length of these screens
change with the speed of the elevator and with the adjustment of the brake.
The CMB limit switch must be placed between the 0 stop screen and the stop 1 screen. Also the CMS limit
switch, must be placed between the upper 1 level stop screen and the upper level stop screen.

5.3.- Two speed elevators

With these elevators there is, in the intermediate stops, a stop screen, a change of speed going up screen
and a change of speed going down screen. In the upper stop, there is a stop screen and a change of speed
going up screen. In the lower stop, there is a stop screen and a change of speed going down screen. The
length of the stop screens change with the speed of the elevator and with the adjustment of the brake. For the
length of the change of speed (going up and going down) screens, we recommend 8 cm.
The distance between the change of speed screens and the stop screens, changes with the travel which the
elevator goes in low speed.
The CMB limit switch must be placed between the 0 stop screen and the 0 stop screen change of speed
going down. It must be a few centimeters below the 0 stop change of speed going down screen, so that
the CMB limit switch will be activated (contact opened), when the detector or detectors will be deactivated
by the change of speed going down screen.
The CMS limit switch must be placed between the upper stop of the stop screen and the upper stop of the
change of speed going up screen, which must be a few centimeters over the upper stop of the change of
speed going up screen, so that the CMS limit switch will be activated (contact opened), when the detector
or detectors is deactivated by the change of speed going up screen.
The placements of these devices are in the following table:

5.4.- V3F lift

5.4.1.- Installation
The elevator must have an stop screen at each stop. With the top and bottom detectors 5 cm apart, the screen
length must be 22 cm, except at the upper and lower stop that must be 75 cm.
At the intermediate floors, the elevator stops when both detectors (FDI/FDS) are centered in the stop screen.
However at the lower and the upper floors, the elevator stops when both detectors are located in front of the
stop screen (at the lower floor, the elevator stops when the FDS detector is located in front of the stop
screen, and at the upper floor, the elevator stops when the FDI detector is located in front of the stop screen).
CMS limit switch must be placed, momentanuously, 140 cm below the edge of the stop screen at the upper
stop.
CMB limit switch must be placed, momentanuously, 140 cm over the top edge of the stop screen at the lower
stop.

5.4.2.- Inverters adjustments

When the installation is finished must be checked that, when the up pushbutton, of the connection box, is
pressed, the small contactor KS must be activated, and the elevator goes up, if the elevator goes down, two
of the motor phases must be changed. When the previous is done, it is necessary to check that the frequency
of the elevator is the frequency programmed in the parameter C14, check the following steps:
- Press the PRG key of the Fuji inverter
- Press continuously the key, or the key up until DATA CHECK appears on the display.
- Press the FUNC DATA key
- Press the key up until the parameter C14 appears on the display, and check the value of this
parameter
- Press the PRG key
- Press the PRG key
- Press the key, or the key up until OPR MNTR appears on the display.
- Press the FUNC DATA key, the display of the Fuji inverter shows several datas, and one of them
is the frequency of the elevator
- Press the up pushbutton, or the down pushbutton, of the inspection box, and after three seconds
check that the frequency showed by the Fuji inverter is the same that the frequency programmed in
the parameter C14, if these values are not similars, it will be necessary to change the connection of the
encoder signals, ways 3 and 4 of the EDR1 connector must be interchanged (this connector is placed
between the machine and the cabinet with the Fuji inverter).
For a correct operation of the Fuji inverter the following parameters have to be set up on site:
- P01: number of motor poles
- P02: motor capacity (KW)
- P03: nominal current of the machine

23

V1.3

With the Fuji inverter is necessary to do an autotuning of the motor, this is an inverter procedure which obtains
a number of motor parameters that will improve the inverters efficiency. This procedure must be done without
any load in the motor, therefore it is necessary to suspend the car and the counterweight, or separate the
motor of the traction machine.
For do the autotuning, follow these steps:
- Without power supply, disconnect the wires of pin number 3 and pin number 10 of the AR
connector (it must be disconnected up to the end of the autotuning)
- Press the PRG key of the Fuji inverter
- Press continuously the key, or the key up until DATA SET appears on the display.
- Press the FUNC DATA key
- Press the key up until the parameter P04 appears on the display.
- Press the FUNC DATA key
- Press the key up to select the value 2
- Press the FUNC DATA key, the display of the Fuji inverter will show START BY RUN
COMMAND
- Press the up pushbutton, or the down pushbutton on, of the inspection box, and keep it on during the
procedure. At this moment the Fuji inverter is doing the autotuning, the procedure will finish when the
display of the Fuji inverter shows CLOSE BY RUN COMMAND OFF, then release the up
pushbutton, or the down pushbutton, of the inspection box.
- Press the PRG key
- The procedure is finished and the elevator must be placed in normal operation (normal roping
conditions, or place the motor in the traction machine)
- Without power supply, connect the wires of pin number 3 and pin number 10 of the AR connector
In the SKM motor room less, the autotuning of the motor is initially completed at the factory, but the values of
the parameters must be checked to ensure that P06, P07 & P08, which are programmed in the Fuji frequency
converter, are the same as the values written in the adhesive paper, which is placed in the motor of the
machine.
Write the values of the parameters P06, P07 & P08 which are written in the adhesive paper, placed in the
motor of the machine. When this is completed, check these values with the values stored in the Fuji frequency
converter. To complete this, follow the following steps:
- In the frequency converter push the PRG key
- Push the key or the key up to select the DATA CHECK
- Push the FUNC DATA key
- Push the key up to select the P06 parameter, and check that the value programmed in the Fuji
frequency converter is the same, as the value written in the adhesive paper placed in the motor of the
machine. If they are not the same:
- Push the FUNC DATA key
- Push the key or the key up to value programmed in the Fuji frequency converter.
This will be the same as the value written in the adhesive paper placed in the motor of the
machine
- Push the FUNC DATA key

V1.3

- Push the key up to select the P07 parameter, and check that the value programmed in the Fuji
frequency converter is the same, as the value written in the adhesive paper placed in the motor of the
machine. If they are not the same:
- Push the FUNC DATA key
- Push the key or the key up to value programmed in the Fuji frequency converter.
This will be the same, as the value written in the adhesive paper placed in the motor of the
machine
- Push the FUNC DATA key
- Push the key up to select the P08 parameter, and check that the value programmed in the Fuji
frequency converter is the same, as the value written in the adhesive paper placed in the motor of the
machine. If they are not the same:
- Push the FUNC DATA key
- Push the key or the key up to value programmed in the Fuji frequency converter.
This will be the same, as the value written in the adhesive paper placed in the motor of the
machine
- Push the FUNC DATA key
- In the frequency converter push the PRG key

5.4.3.- Control panel learning trip

After the previous steps, the control panel must do a learning trip of the shaft. In this process the control panel
calculates the height of the shaft, the heights of the suitable accelerations and decelerations. To do this, follow
the next steps:
- Place in the car the half load
- In the TC1 electronic board, place the switch 1 at ON
- With the going-down pushbutton of the inspection box, or with the going-down pushbutton of the
emergency box (only for SKM motor room less), place the elevator at the lower stop
- Switch to Normal the inspection box and switch to Normal the emergency box (only for SKM
motor room less)
- Make sure that all contacts of the security line and the doors are closed.
- In TC1 electronic board select Programming option
- Select V3F option
- Select Adjust option.
- Programme the number of pulses of the encoder, check the encoder (normally 1024) and divided by
32 (due that the main electronic board TC1 divides internally the pulses by 32). So the number to
enter normally will be 32.
- Programme the theoric gear r.p.m. Normally 1500. For SKM motor room less 1000.
- Finally enter the nominal speed in cm/s.
Then the control panel will automatically do the next steps:
1- The elevator goes up until the upper stop with V4 speed (slow speed)
2- The elevator stops

25

V1.3

3- The elevator accelerates (going down) until V1(which is nominal speed) is reached and then it
decelerates until V4 (which is slow speed).
4- The elevator stops
5- The elevator accelerates (going up) until the V2 speed (which is 2/3 of the nominal speed) is
reached and then it decelerates until V4 (which is slow speed).
6- The elevator stops (learning trip is ended)
After the Adjust, the parameter values should be checked on the display. The LCD display will show (after
each one, press Up key for the next). In the following table is showed all the parameters:

This is the meaning of the parameters:

- Screen length: medium length of the screens, top and bottom screens are not included (units: encoder
pulses).
- Detector length: distance between FDI & FDS (units: encoder pulses).
- Pulsos aceler V1: number of pulses for acceleration from 0 to V1.
- Pulsos decele V1: number of pulses for deceleration from V1 to V4.
- Pulsos aceler V2: number of pulses for acceleration from 0 to V2.
- Pulsos decele V2: number of pulses for deceleration from V2 to V4.
- Pulsos decel 0 Hz: number of pulses for deceleration from V4 to 0 Hz
- Speed V1: nominal speed of the elevator. This speed is used with travel lengths higher than 2m.
- Speed V2: 2/3 of the nominal speed of the elevator. This speed is used with travel lengths lower than
2m.
- Speed V4: 1/6 of the nominal speed of the elevator.

26

V1.3

- The CMB/CMS adjustment: distance that the CMS must be placed, below the edge of the stop
screen at the higher stop and the distance that the CMB must be placed over the top edge of the stop
screen at the lower stop.
- Floor X, Height X: position in encoder pulses of each floor.

Check the following:

- Pulses aceler V1 must higher than Pulses aceler V2
- Pulses decele V1 must higher than Pulses decele V2
- Pulsos decel 0Hz must be higher than Screen length multiplied by two, plus 50
- Speed V1 must be the gear r.p.m.
- Speed V2 must be 2/3 of gear r.p.m.
- Speed V4 must be 1/6 of gear r.p.m.
- Encoder (0) must be 0.
- Encoder (x) must be lower than Encoder (x+1)
If any of these checks is not correct the learning trip must be repeated.
Must be checked that the distance between the two consecutive nearest floors is higher than Pulses aceler
V2+ Pulses decele V2. If this is not true the learning trip must be repeated, but the speed V2 must be
reduced (parameter C17 in the Fuji inverter). In any case, the elevator will travel between these floors with
speed V4.
If, during the learning trip, when the elevator is at step one (the elevator goes up until the highest stop with V4
speed), the elevator stops and the LCD display shows Phase error. Try again, the learning trip must be
repeated, but the signals of the detectors should have been previously checked. (Please check that the signals
are not changed between them)
If, during the learning trip, when the elevator is at step number 3, (the elevator accelerates until V1 is reached
and then it decelerates until V4), the elevator stops and the LCD display shows Encoder failure. Try again,
the learning trip must be repeated, but the acceleration and deceleration must be faster. Therefore, in the Fuji
inverter the acceleration time parameter (F07), and the deceleration time parameter (F08), must be
decreased. This error means that during this step of the learning trip, the elevator is too near the bottom floor.
(ie. 2 floors installations).

5.4.4.- CMS and CMB limit switch adjust

Once the learning trip has been completed successfully, the results given show the distance between the CMB
and the lower screen, and the distance between CMS and the upper screen.
In any case, it could be calculated as follows:
a= theoretic revolutions per minute of the machine / 60
b= a * 64
c= theoretic nominal speed of the machine (meter/second) / b
d= c * 1000

27

V1.3

Distance (millimetres)= Pulsos decele V1 * d

5.4.5.- Operation
After the previous adjustment, the elevator can work in normal mode. When a call is made, follow the
process:
- Doors close
- The inverter uses DC current which stops the machine
- The brake of the machine is released.
- It calculates the speed (V1 or V2) depending on the distance between floors.
- When the elevator is arriving at level, it decelerates to V4.
- When the first detector detects the stop screen, and when the distance for the level of stop is Pulsos
decel 0 Hz, it decelerates to 0.
- The brake of the machine is closed.
- Doors open

5.4.6.- Final Adjustment

In order to get a better travel or more comfort, it is possible to change the acceleration and deceleration
parameters.
- In the Fuji inverter, acceleration parameter is F07. Deceleration parameter is F08.
If you change any parameters, it could be necessary repeat the learning trip.
The travel which the car goes at V4 must be checked for either speeds used between floors V1 or V2. If this
travel at V4 is too long, you can reduce it by decreasing either the Pulsos decele V1 for travels at V1 or
Pulsos decele V2 parameters for travels at V2.
To change these parameters, select Programming option in the TC1 electronic board, then select the V3F
option and select Show parameters. Select the parameter and change it.
