 Functions and Performance for Riding Comfort
The Varispeed L7 has enhanced functions to assure a smooth, quiet, and
safe ride and it has a high efficiency for energy savings.

■ Zero servo and Starting torque compensation (load sensor is required）realize smooth start-up。
■ S-curve operation realizes smooth acceleration and deceleration。
■ Advance control suppresses torque vibration。

Torque reference

■ The alarm detection prevents an elevator from moving unexpectedly in case of

incorrect parameter settings, incorrect wiring, or motor failure.
■ The backup battery ensures safe elevator travel in case of power loss.
（An optional battery unit（Note）ensures the 48/96 VDC input.） * under develpment

 ■ One motor MC instead of two while keeping compliance to the
EN81-1:1998 • The hardware baseblock function using the
terminals BB and BB1 must be used to enable
/disable the Inverter.
• If the elevator safety chain is opened, the Inverter
output must be cut. This means that the baseblock
signals at the terminals BB and BB1 must be
opened, e.g. via an interposing relay.
• The baseblock monitor function must be
programmed for one of the multi-function outputs
(H2-xx = 46/47). The regarding multi-function
contact must be implemented in the magnetic
contactor supervision circuit of the controller in
order to prevent a restart in case of an Inverter
baseblock or motor magnetic contactor malfunction.
• All magnetic contactors must be conform to the
EN81-1:1998.

 ■ Magnetic Pole Position Detection
<Principle>
Motor impedance saliency can be detected by
injecting a high frequency voltage to a motor
which is different from the operating frequency.
L7B uses the motor saliency information to
detect the position of the magnetic pole.
<Position detection method>
High frequency voltage is injected, and resulting high
frequency current is detected through a Band-pass-
Filter (BPF). Flux-Oriented_Controller (FOC) algorithm is
used for motor control.
