Short Floor Operation Feature
Short Floor Operation
The short floor function is used to reduce the travel time to the next floor if then high speed input is removed.
To enable Short Floor operation set P10-09 to 0.
When using Short Floor the travel profile will change depending on the Speed Reference value. Below are the different Short Floor operation profiles.
Travel Profile | Short Floor Operation Profile | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|
Normal Elevator travel profile |
| In a normal elevator travel profile, the drive will be traveling at the High Speed (P8-06) when the Leveling Speed input is received (essentially, the High Speed input is removed). If the leveling input (run speed input removed) is received prior to the drive having reached the High Speed (e.g., whilst still accelerating) the short floor operation will work to reduce the Elevator travel time by automatically adjusting the speed to reach the floor in a shorter time. | |
If the Output Frequency is >40% of High Speed when Leveling Input received |
| In this case, the drive will hold the present output frequency for the time period calculated (Line A) based on the travel distance from High Speed to the present output frequency, before decelerating to the leveling speed. | |
If the Output Frequency Output Frequency is <40% of High Speed when Leveling Input received |
| In this case, the drive will accelerate to 40% of the High Speed and maintain this frequency for a time period calculated (Line A) based on the travel distance from Run Speed to the present output frequency, before decelerating to the leveling speed. |
