Elevator Core Reference Guide

Digital Output 3

The drive has one Output that only functions as a Digital Output bringing the total number of available Digital Outputs to 3 (2 Digital/Analog Outputs and one Digital).

This Digital Output can be used to send signals from the drive to the elevator controller depending on the function selected. For example parameter P1-28 Setting 8 is STO Status, this setting has a Logic of 0 (0V output) when the Safety Chain (P0-03) is open and a Logic of 1 (24V) when closed. This can be used to tell the controller when the drives Safety Chain is open or closed.

Below is the configuration to setup terminal DO3 for use as a Digital Output.

The settings of the DO3 terminal are listed below:

Setting

Status/Function Source

Conditions for Status

0

Drive Enabled (Running)

Logic 1 when Drive is enabled and output stage is on

1

Drive Healthy

Logic 1 when no Fault condition exists on the drive. (“InHibit” is not included as a fault)

2

Motor Below Minimum Speed

Logic 1 when motor speed is </=minimum output frequency (P8-02) or </= DC injection at stop speed (P9-15)

3

Motor at Target Speed

Logic 1 when the output frequency matches the setpoint speed

4

Motor Speed > 0

Logic 1 when the motor runs above zero speed

5

Motor Speed ≥ Limit

Logic 1 when the motor speed exceeds the adjustable limit as per set in P1-38 and P1-39

6

Motor Current ≥ Limit

Logic 1 when the motor speed exceeds the adjustable limit as per set in P1-38 and P1-39

7

Motor Torque ≥ Limit

Logic 1 when the motor speed exceeds the adjustable limit as per set in P1-38 and P1-39

8

STO Status

Logic 1 when both STO inputs are present, and the drive is able to be operated

9

Rescue Mode Active

Logic 1 when the drive is operating in Rescue Mode

10

2nd Anip > limit

Logic 1 when the signal applied to terminal DI5 (Analog Input 2) exceeds the adjustable limits set in speed P1-38 and P1-39

Note

When using settings 5, 6, 7, 10, parameters P1-38 and P1-39 must be used together to control the behaviour. The output will switch to Logic 1 when the selected signal exceeds the value programmed in P1-38 and return to Logic 0 when the signal falls below the value in P1-39.

11

Motor Contactor control

Used to control the operation of a motor contactor. Logic 1 when motor contactor is closed by the drive.

12

Motor Shorting Contactor Control

Contactor control

Used to control the operation of a motor shorting contactor.

13

Direction of Travel

Logic 1 when direction down, Logic 0 when stopped or direction up.

(Fwd command given and speed is positive):

Up direction means a forward command has been given and motor turns clockwise (Looking at the shaft) and motor speed is positive.

14

Service Indicator

Logic 1 when service time interval set in P11-17 has been met.

15

Brake Control

Logic 1 when Relay is closed (Motor Brake Released)

16

Door Zone

Logic 1 when motor speed equals (P10-02 Early Door Opening Speed Threshold).

17

Light Load direction

Logic 0 = Easiest direction is up.

Logic 1 = Easiest direction is downwards.

18

Travel limit counter reached

Logic 1 when Travel Direction Change Counter limit P10-05 has been reached.

19

Set speed and actual speed > P1-42

Logic 1 when the % difference (as set in Speed following error P1-42) is exceeded between set speed and the actual speed (estimated speed in open loop/encoder speed in closed loop-with encoder)

20

Alarm

Logic 1 when an alarm is active, e.g P3-07 has been set to 2.

Inverts the logic of DO3 output terminal.
