1 Introduction
1.1 Objective
The Basic Data Document describes the function and the technical design of the Otis Vari-
able Frequency (OVF10) drive package.
The OVF10 drive was especially developed for the Modernization and New Equipment
market to be competitive to component manufacturers.

Concept
OVF10 is a variable voltage, variable frequency drive in the low-speed geared market with
rated speeds up to 1.2m/s. The key customer benefits of the OVF10 vs. existing 1/2AC in-
stallations are

• leveling accuracy
• ride comfort
• reduced energy consumption.

The drive is operated with open speed loop using a cost-reduced and field friendly position
reference system. OVF10 was developed with respect to EMI and CEN code conformance.

1.2 Products
The OVF10 is available in nine types:
• two voltages (400 and 220 Volts)
• three duty ratings (3 kW, 5 kW and 9 kW)
• two hoist way heights 25m for all standard drives and
50m for the two 5kW drives with 630kg x 1m/s
• One special 5kW/400V version for the product Madrid99

3 Functional Description (HW)

3.1 Power Supply

The OVF10 is available for two power supply ranges:
400V package for an input voltage range of 380V to 415V ± 10 %
220V package for an input voltage of 220V ±10 %.

The power circuits are disconnected from the mains during idle phase.
The Microprocessor and the rest of the hardware are supplied by a switch mode power
supply from the mains.

A three phase mains supply is essential.

Line frequency is accepted 50 and 60 Hz ±5%.

The power line must have an Protection Earth.

The drive does not stay in function during line drops due to the reduced DC-Link capacitor
bank. Line drops lead to an emergency stop of the drive and a recovery run afterwards.

The drive is not internally fused. It is protected by an OCB sized for a power equivalent
1AC/2AC system.

3.2 Power Circuit

A schematic of the OVF10 power circuit is given in Figure 3.1. It consists of:

• APD-Filter
• Charging circuit (not in the Madrid99 version)
• Rectifier
• DC-Link capacitors (including balancing resistors)
• Brake IGBT (DBT) with Brake Resistor (DBR) (not in the 50m version).
• DC-Link current shunt resistor (SHUNT)
• Inverter

3.2.1 APD-Filter
To fulfill requirements set up in EN 55011 for Electromagnetic compatibility an APD filter is
included in line with the mains in the package.
In the Madrid99 version an additional APD-Filter for the switching power supply on the DCB
is included in the package.
The capacity to earth of the filter fits to the earth leakage detector (100mA selective) in line
with the mains.

3.2.2 Charging of the DC-Link

The power circuit is only connected to the mains during operation of the drive, otherwise it
is disconnected to save energy and to enlarge the lifetime of the DC-Link capacitors.
The charging of the DC-Link capacitors is done over two charging resistors out of two
phases.
The discharging is accomplished by the balancing resistors which are connected in parallel
to the DC-Link capacitors. The discharging time is smaller than three minutes.
In the Madrid99 version the charging circuit is not included in the package, but is located
outside of the package in the controller.

3.2.3 Inverter
The output currents of the inverter are described in chapter 2.3.
The ratings of the main IGBTs are:

3.2.5 DC-Link Capacitors

The DC-Link consist of a parallel and series connection of aluminium electrolytic capacitors;
each capacitor has a nominal capacitance of 470µF. In parallel to each capacitor is a bal-
ancing resistor with a value of 47kΩ.
The DC-Link capacitance for the different drives is:

Duty 400V design 220V design
3 kW 470µF (4) 1880µF (4)
5 kW 705µF (6) 2820µF (6)
9 kW 940µF (8) 3760µF (8)

Table 3.1: DC-link capacitance

3.3 Sensors
3.3.1 AC Voltage Measurement
The drive includes an AC input voltage measurement through the power supply. This de-
vice is used to adapt the output voltage at the motor according to the AC input voltage. This
system is very effective during acceleration and motoring operation of the drive, but has
only a limited influence adapting the output voltage when the motor regenerates power into
the DC-link.
3.3.2 Voltage Sensor
The voltage of the DC-Link is sensed for the control of the dynamic brake (see section
3.2.4) and as under and over voltage.
The voltage limits are:

3.3.3 Current Sensor

The current sensor is located in the DC-Link between the DC-Link capacitors and the Brake
and the Inverter (see Figure 3.1). The current measurement is done with a shunt resistor.
The mean value of the DC-Link current is transformed into a frequency and is evaluated by
the software. This current represents the real current of the inverter.
Through a peak detector also an inverter overload and an inverter overcurrent is detected
out of the DC-Link current. In case of an overload the software reduces the acceleration
and in case of an overcurrent the inverter is stopped. The limits for an overload and an
overcurrent are:

Overload Overcurrent

9 kW 51.3A 102.6A 76.5A 153.0A

Table 3.1: Overload threshold

3.3.4 Temperature Sensor

The temperature of the heatsink and the DBR are sensed by two heat sensitive switches.
The triggering level of these switches is low enough to protect the IGBTs (max. temperature
85°C) and the DBR (max. temperature 400°C). Both sensors have a switching temperature
of 80°C ± 5°C . The heat of the DBR is sensed indirectly.

3.4.2 Low Voltage Signal I/O to Controller

The low voltage inputs are 24V active low inputs. The LOW level input voltage for the 24V
inputs should be higher than 22.4V and the HIGH level should be less than 18.23V. Out of
this reason a push pull drive for the inputs is recommended to achieve good switching ac-
curacy and noise immunity, when supplying the switches out of the internal 24V. The cur-
rent limit output signals are 250mA, the outputs are NOT short circuit protected.

5 Motion Control

5.1 Profile Generator

For a normal run the constant velocity depends on the distance to the landing floor.

There are two possible constant speeds for a normal run :

Full run: 100 % of contract speed for multiple floor runs or long floor to floor runs.
Limited run: below 100% depending on floor distance.
The decision between the run speeds is done during the acceleration phase.

There is only one profile for inspection runs. The inspection speed is settable trough the
service tool.

All profiles are time profiles:

• There is no position feedback in the profile generation.
• The deceleration starting point is based on time.
• The stopping point is based on time elapsed after detecting 1LV/2LV hoistway sig-
nals.

The IP signal is calculated by the software, no external hoistway IP signals are needed.
The IP signal is sent a fixed time after leaving a door zone. It has to last long enough so
that the Operational Control System can react.

A falling edge of the T signal during a normal run indicates that the Operational Control
System wants to stop at the next floor. The falling edge of the T input has to occur early
enough during acceleration (in a certain time gap) in order to select the run profiles men-
tioned above. The deceleration point is calculated by the software. It does not depend on
any hoistway signal. If a falling edge of the T input is detected outside of IP, the drive de-
celerates immediately and stops at the next floor.

5.2 Open Loop Speed Control

The open loop speed control is implemented in a software module, referred to as the con-
trol module. The main purpose of the control module is to control an AC induction motor so
that it follows a dictated speed profile obtained from the profile generator software module.

The module calculates the necessary stator voltage magnitude and stator current frequency
necessary to follow the speed profile. These quantities will be hereafter respectively re-
ferred to as the voltage magnitude and current frequency. The module makes ample use of
information available from other software modules, service tool parameters and hardware
feedback signals.

The voltage magnitude and current frequency are determined from a linear combination of:
• the required speed profile from the profile generator software module
• the required acceleration from the profile generator software module
• an estimate of motor slip based on an estimate of car load based on the magnitude
of the DC link current

• a reduction component based on drive overload as determined by two hardware sig-

nals which indicate the severity of the overload and are logic TRUE when the drive is
overloaded.

Load estimation is accomplished by measuring the DC link current. The module must,
therefore, provide a routine to obtain the DC link current from the hardware and make it
available to itself and the rest of the software.

The calculated voltage magnitude and current frequency values are output to a PWM chip
on the processor/interface board. The chip performs all hardware actions necessary to
produce the requested voltage magnitude and current frequency at the motor.

5.2.1 Voltage Magnitude and Current Frequency Calculation

Introduction: Given a speed, the phase voltage magnitude and current frequency for the
induction motor can be determined from four components. These components are: the U-F
characteristic of the motor, the motor slip, compensation components for accelera-
tion/deceleration and a reduction component in case the drive is overloaded.

Specification: The module will perform the following steps to calculate current frequency
and voltage magnitude values:

1. If the car is IDLE, set current frequency and voltage magnitude to zero. (See section
5.2.1.1)
2. If the car is PREMAGNETZING, set current frequency and voltage magnitude to
pretorquing value entered in the service tool. (See section 5.2.1.2).
3. If the car is RUNNING, set current frequency and voltage magnitude based on dic-
tated speed, dictated acceleration, slip estimate and overload reduction factor. (See
section 5.2.1.3).

5.2.1.1 IDLE Phase

Introduction: While the car is idle, the main purpose of the control module is to ensure that
there will be no voltage or current (unless there is a hardware problem) on the motor while
the brake is dropped.

Specification: Current frequency and voltage magnitude are simply set to zero. These val-
ues are then written to the PWM chip and output to the power section.

5.2.1.2 PREMAGNETIZATION Phase (Pretorquing)

Introduction: Since the OVF10 has no load weighting mechanisms, it will be impossible to
prevent roll back, roll forward and high starting jerk for all load conditions. It is possible,
however, to attempt to minimize these effects for a certain range of loads with a simple
pretorquing scheme. The load range for which this scheme will work is determined by :

• the output torque of the motor for a given initial current frequency and voltage mag-
nitude values (these values are referred to as the pretorquing values).
• the load in the car,
• the stiction band in the gear box.

Specification: A service tool parameter will indicate a current frequency (pretorquing fre-
quency) to apply to the motor before the brake is lifted. The voltage magnitude (pretorquing
voltage) is determined from the U/F characteristic of the motor and the given frequency.
These pretorquing frequency and voltage values will generate torque on the motor that will

prevent adverse starting effects after brake lift in a particular load range. The car will ex-
hibit no rollback or roll-forward when the pretorquing torque plus the stiction in the gearbox
is equal to the opposing torque produced by the load in the car.

5.2.1.3 RUNNING Phase

Introduction: While the car is running, the control module must calculate the current fre-
quency and voltage magnitude necessary to follow the dictated speed profile. The fre-
quency and voltage are composed of a number of components some of which are depend-
ent upon the state of the elevator such as acceleration, deceleration and overload.

Specification: The current frequency and voltage magnitude are calculated using the fol-
lowing formulas :

f 1 = f speed + fspeed −dt + fovl

where
• fspeed is the frequency component due to the dictated speed
• fspeed-dt is the frequency component due to the dictated acceleration
• fovl is the frequency component if the drive is in the overload state

U 1 = U u / f + U dec + U slip

where
• Uu/f is the voltage component due to the frequency f1 above
• Udec is the voltage component to decrease voltage during deceleration.
• Uslip is the frequency component due to the motor slip

Fspeed and Fspeed-dt are, respectively, the dictated speed from the profile generator and the
dictated acceleration (or simply the derivative of the speed). These values are scaled by
the profile generator to convert from m/s to Hz. Fovl is calculated to prevent the drive from
overloading (see section 5.2.2). Uu/f is calculated using the U/F characteristic of the motor
(see section 5.2.3). Udec is calculated to provide suitable deceleration voltage characteris-
tics and control the DC link voltage (see section 5.2.4). Uslip is calculated during slip esti-
mation (see section 5.2.5).
5.2.2 Drive Overload
Introduction : The LSVF-W software, upon which the OVF10 baseline is based, detected
drive overload by examining motor currents. In the OVF10, motor currents are no longer
available. Drive overload protection will have to be performed using information from the

hardware. Drive overload protection should be designed to protect the IGBTs which may
fail if overheated due to large current draw for extended periods of time.

Specification : Drive overload is detected through two hardware signals. The most severe
is “IGBT current too high” which indicates that the current has exceeded the maximum in-
stantaneous rating of the IGBTs. When this signal is asserted, the drive will do an immedi-
ate shut down. The second signal, “IGBT overload”, is less severe. This signal indicates
that the current in the IGBTs is high and may cause damage if not reduced to a safe level.
The drive can function for up to 0.5 seconds in this overload state. If the attempts at reduc-
ing the current fail and the signal is asserted for more than 0.5 seconds, the control module
will do a drive shut down to prevent hardware damage.

Once an overload has been detected, the control module will attempt to decrease the cur-
rent drawn by the motor through a decrease in the commanded stator frequency. The sta-
tor frequency will be decreased by the smaller of : the dictated acceleration (expressed in
frequency units) or a fixed step entered in the service tool. Overloads happen during the
acceleration phase of the profile. The stator frequency is decreased during the jerk-in part
of the acceleration while the hardware signal is asserted. and then increased to its correct,
constant speed value during the last part of the jerk-out and first few instants of the con-
stant speed phase.
5.2.3 U/F Characteristic
Introduction: An induction motor must have constant flux in the air gap for proper operation.
One way to insure this, is to closely control the relationship between voltage magnitude
and current frequency. This is achieved by manipulating the U/F characteristic of an in-
duction motor

Specification: The following U/F characteristic will be implemented in the control module
software :

Figure 5.3: U/F Characteristic

Where fn is the nominal frequency which corresponds to a voltage value of Uacc. U0 is the
minimum voltage applied to the motor when the frequency is 0 Hz. Since the characteristic
is linear, the voltage Uu/f needed for a current frequency f is found with the following for-
mula:

U u /f = U 0 + f ⋅ (Uacc − U 0)

Note that this characteristic must be devised so that for every frequency/voltage pairing, the
air gap flux remains constant. This characteristic may also be manipulated to provide suit-
able starting current characteristics.
5.2.4 Acceleration and Deceleration Voltage Characteristics
Introduction: Acceleration voltage is important if the elevator is to achieve the target accel-
eration rate. Similarly, deceleration voltage is important if the elevator is to achieve the tar-
get deceleration rate. These voltages are also fairly important in controlling the DC link
voltage. Too great a voltage demand during a motoring run will make the DC link “sag” and
conversely too small a demand during a regenerative run may cause the DC link to become
dangerously high. It is therefore important to accurately control the voltages during the ac-
celeration and deceleration phases of the run.

Specification: Although the voltage required for given acceleration and deceleration profiles
should be calculated from slip information, it is possible that the estimated slip may be
wrong. If it is deemed that the slip voltage compensation magnitude is not adequate for ac-

celeration and deceleration, an empirical factor can be added or subtracted in the calcula-
tion of the voltage magnitude. There is, at this time, no need to compensate the voltage
during acceleration. The acceleration/deceleration factor is implemented as depicted in

Ram_udec is a service tool parameter that controls the maximum value subtracted from the
voltage during deceleration. This factor is given in units of volts based on the DC link volt-
age. Appropriate scaling factors are applied to this factor in order to convert it to suitable
internal units.

Please note the following concerning DC link voltage control:

The primary method to prevent the DC link voltage from increasing out of control is through
the Dynamic Braking Resistors (DBR) and the Dynamic Braking Transistor (DBT). The dy-
namic braking resistors are placed across the DC link, in series with the dynamic braking
transistor. When the DC link voltage increases beyond a certain threshold, the transistor
conducts with an appropriate duty cycle and current flows through the resistors. In this way,
power is dissipated and the voltage on the DC link is lowered. The control module can help
the DBR by correctly determining the voltage demand during the elevator run, but it is by no
means intended to replace the action of DBRs and DBT.

The control module can help in preventing the DC link from decreasing to dangerous levels,
but the input AC line magnitude has much greater control over the minimum value of the
DC link voltage. An AC line magnitude that is too low will not power the DC link correctly
and there is nothing the control module can do to correct this fact.

If the DC link voltage is exceeds maximum or minimum thresholds, there are two hardware
faults that will shut down the drive:

• DC link overvoltage fault : will shut down the drive if the DC link voltage magnitude
exceeds a predetermined threshold.
• DC link undervoltage fault : will shut down the drive if the DC link voltage magnitude
exceeds a predetermined threshold.

Both these faults are designed to prevent hardware damage in case of loss of DC link volt-
age control.
5.2.5 Slip Estimation
Introduction : Smooth and precise control of an AC motor requires a good approximation of
the slip in the motor. The slip is a function of the load on the motor which in turn dictates
the current frequency and voltage magnitude required to control the motor at a given speed.

Specification : The slip can be estimated by utilizing the measured DC link current. The
relationship between DC link current and slip is highly nonlinear. The DC link current itself is
a measure of load on the motor, and the slip is directly proportional to the load. Although
different motors have different slips for a given load, the slip difference is small enough that
it is possible to generalize a relationship between load and slip that will be appropriate for
all motors.

Slip estimation will affect both the current frequency and voltage magnitude quantities as
described below.

Current Frequency :
Compensation factor based on slip for current frequency is calculated in LI0LOA.PLM.
Compensation will be passed to the profile generator module via a global variable
(LOA_fr). The compensation is added into the calculation of the final creeping fre-
quency.

Voltage Magnitude :
Compensation factor is based on the dictated acceleration given by the profile genera-
tor. The compensation factor implemented is depicted in the following picture.

During the creeping phase the voltage compensation can be increased if the elevator
has been creeping for more than a certain maximum period. At present this period is
hardcoded as DDP_time * 32 * 0.1. This will prevent the elevator from being stuck in
stiction when the load estimate is not accurate enough to provide the correct current
frequency and voltage magnitude necessary to maintain the slow creep speed.

Load dependent slip voltage compensation for the OVF10 drive will be initially done only
for the creeping phase of the profile as shown in the above formula for Uslip_creep. For
other phases of the profile, the slip voltage compensation will be calculated as follows :

1. During acceleration, assume a slip voltage compensation proportional to the accel-

eration itself. There is a service tool parameter (Umax) which allows the user to
enter the maximum slip voltage compensation for the motor. This maximum slip
voltage compensation will only be reached when the maximum acceleration is
reached. The compensation will vary linearly with the acceleration and the formula
is : Slip = (Acc/Max_Acc) * Umax. The minimum value for this compensation during
acceleration is Umax/4.
2. During constant speed, the slip on the motor is very low and the voltage compensa-
tion will be set to an arbitrary low value of Umax / 4. During this constant speed
phase the DC link current will be measured and the load in the car estimated.

During deceleration, the voltage compensation slip will be proportional to the deceleration
with a minimum value of zero reached when maximum deceleration is requested. During
the jerkout portion of deceleration, compensation will be ramped up to the above calculated
creeping voltage compensation.

5.2.6 1LV / 2LV

Introduction: The 1LV and 2LV sensors are mounted on top of the car and provide feed-
back on the position of the car when approaching the door zone. By calculating the times
between the activation of 1LV and 2LV, it is also possible to estimate the speed of the car.
The so calculated car speed is used to provide a smooth and accurate stop. In addition,
the 1LV/2LV sensors indicate whether a specific floor has a special, longer or shorter, rise
than the rest of the floors in the building.

Specification : The 1LV and 2LV signals are activated by a magnet placed on a floating
tape in the hoistway. When the sensors pass over the magnet, they produce a logical
TRUE on two (one for each sensor) 80196KB inputs. When the 80196KB sees one of the
two inputs go TRUE, it starts a timer (TIMER1) which keeps counting until it is turned off by
the second sensor signal going to a logic TRUE. During up runs, 1LV will turn the timer on
and 2LV will turn it off, while on down runs the opposite is true. Since the distance between
1LV and 2LV is fixed, the time between the asserting of the signals is an indication of the
speed of the car. The layout of 1LV, 2LV and the activating magnet for an elevator cor-
rectly leveled at a floor is shown in the following picture:

5.2.6.1 Constant Speed

During a multiple floor run, the elevator will pass at least one door zone at constant speed.
The speed of the elevator can then be calculated with the following formula :

ds
Vcon =
CTIMER 1 ⋅ K TIMER 1

where,
• ds is the distance between 1LV and 2LV sensors
• CTIMER1 are the TIMER1 counts between the activation of the first sensor and the
activation of the second sensor
• KTIMER1 is a constant for TIMER1 relating the number of seconds in one count of the
timer.
Once calculated, the speed can be used to alter the commanded current frequency to com-
pensate if the actual speed is not the same as the dictated speed. This feature is not cur-
rently implemented.

5.2.6.2 Creeping Phase

The approach to the floor is achieved through a period of creeping, where the elevator
slowly moves towards the stopping point. The creeping speed is usually set to a small
value (10 cm/s). Once the elevator is close to the stopping point, the speed must be
ramped down from creeping to zero to provide a smooth stopping profile. This may be a
problem, however, since the elevator is running open loop. The actual creeping speed may
be different from the commanded creeping speed, and therefore the time it takes to ramp
the speed to zero (with a predetermined slope) will vary from run to run. Using 1LV and
2LV information it is possible to calculate the creeping speed and alter the creeping time to
provide a smooth deceleration and accurate levelling. It is important to note that when both
1LV and 2LV are asserted, the elevator is not at the stopping point but the distance be-
tween this activation point and the stopping point can be calculated. The landing process is
as follows :

• Similarly to constant speed, calculate the creeping speed with 1LV and 2LV infor-
mation as follows :

ds
VCR =
CTIMER 1 ⋅ K TIMER 1

where,
ds is the distance between 1LV and 2LV sensors

CTIMER1 are the TIMER1 counts between the activation of the first sensor and the
activation of the second sensor
KTIMER1 is a constant for TIMER1 relating the number of seconds to one count of
the timer.
• Calculate the time it takes to ramp the speed down to zero given a desired slope mV
(entered in the service tool) for the ramp :

VCR
tr =
mV

• Calculate the distance traveled while ramping the speed down :

1
dr = ⋅VCR ⋅ t r
2

• When both 1LV and 2LV signals are asserted in the creeping phase, the elevator is
at a distance, say d1 (see section 5.2.6.3 for d1 calculation), from the stopping
point. There are then two possibilities based on the calculated distance dr :

d1 >= dr. This means that the creeping speed is ok and that we must creep a
while longer before ramping down. The additional creeping time before ramp
down and the slope are given by :

(d 1 − d r )
t BR =
VCR

mV = mV

d1 < dr. This means that the elevator is creeping too fast and that we cannot
ramp down with the given slope mV. The slope must be altered and the profile
generator must not wait before ramping down :

t BR = 0

(VCR ) 2
mV =
2 ⋅ d1

These values will ensure that the elevator will stop at the correct stopping point,
but the deceleration may be harsh. Currently, the ramp down slope is not

changed if the elevator is creeping too fast. The ramp down is begun immedi-
ately from the activation point of 1LV/2LV. This ensures that the elevator will
stop in the door zone, but the levelling accuracy may not be good. Since the
creeping phase of the profile is load compensated, the software will ensure that
the creeping speed is always within allowable bounds and that the elevator is
not creeping too fast or too slow.

The slope mV is passed to the profile generator. The time tBR is used in a software timer
(SW TIMER 1) which will count down the appropriate time and initiate the ramp down (see
section 5.2.6.4).

5.2.6.3 Calculation of d1

d1 is defined as the distance between the point where both 1LV and 2LV sensors are acti-
vated to the stopping point of the elevator. d1 is a function of:

• The length of the magnet, d

• The activation distances where the sensors are activated due to stray magnetic
fields present in the magnet which may be different at each end of the magnet, de-
fined as dhu and dhd.
• The offset distance of the stopping point from the middle of the magnet, dlz.

The distance d1 may be different based on whether the car is performing an up run or a
down run. Referring to the diagram at the beginning of the section, the following formulas
apply:

d1u = d/2 - dlz + dhu - ds/2

d1d = d/2 + dlz + dhd - ds/2

where d1u is the d1 distance for an up run and d1d is the d1 distance for a down run. In
these formulas, dlz has been defined as positive if the stopping point is below the magnet
midpoint and negative if it is above. The quantities d1u and d1d will be entered in the
service tool as LV delay values. The equivalences are :

d1u = “LV dly up”

d1d = “LV dly down”

5.2.6.4 LV Event Interrupt Structure

In order to implement the above detection schemes, it will be necessary to make use of two
interrupts on the 196 processor :

1. The HSI event interrupt will be used to detect rising and falling edges of the LV sen-
sors. This interrupt was also used in the LSVF-W baseline for the same purpose.
2. The SW timer time out interrupt will be used during creeping to count down the addi-
tional creeping time needed before the final speed rampdown. Note that there are
four software timers on the 196. Software timer1 will be used for this purpose.

The basic sequence of events to detect and process a valid LV event is as follows :

I. Wait for a falling or rising edge on either 1LV or 2LV. If one occurs, use the HSI in-
terrupt to record the time at which it occurred and the type of edge it was (i.e. 1LV rising,
2LV falling etc. ... )
II. Wait for a second rising or falling edge on the sensor. When we get an edge, use
the HSI interrupt to record the time at which the second edge happened and the time
difference between the first edge (step 1) and the second edge.
III. Ensure that the sequence of edges is correct; for example, if we are leaving a door
zone in the up direction then the sequence must be 1LV falling edge followed by 2LV fal-
ling edge. If it is not correct check to see if a special floor magnet has been encountered
( see section 5.2.6.6). If it is not a special floor magnet, declare an error and shut down.
IV. Calculate the speed of the car from the event information.
V. If the car is creeping, then :
A. Compute the distance left to go to the stopping point and the additional time that
the car must creep to reach the stopping point.
B. Program SW timer 1 to count down the additional creeping time. Upon time out,
SW timer 1 will initiate the ramp down of the speed by calling the appropriate pro-
file generator routine.

5.2.6.5 Safeguards in Case of Interrupt Failure

Since the 1LV/2LV signals are the sole method by which the elevator can stop, it is neces-
sary to have a backup method of stopping in case the SW timer 1 interrupt is, for whatever
reason, unable to call the ramp down routine.

The backup method consists of the old LSVF-W 1LV/2LV detection routine with a few
modifications. This routine will set the variable “lv_event” to TRUE when both 1LV and 2LV
have a logic level of TRUE. This indicates, under normal conditions, that the sensors are
both on the magnet and that the car must be close to the stopping point.

INDUSTRIAL PACKAGE

If the variable “lv_event” is TRUE but the interrupt has not detected 1LV/2LV events as in-
dicated by the status of the “LV phase” flags (for creep - bits 11 and 14), then the software
will initiate a timed creeping phase (based on nominal creep speed and nominal distance to
the stopping point) followed by the ramp down without waiting for the SW timer 1 interrupt.
This fallback solution does not guarantee accurate leveling, nor does it guarantee that the
elevator will stop at the door zone if the elevator is creeping at a much higher speed than
the nominal creep speed (from SVT). It will, however, prevent “lock up” errors such as DDP
and terminal switch activation.

5.2.6.6 Floor Handling

The OVF10 can service all floor heights between 220 and 650mm. The best results for the
creep time of the Elevator are calculated by the software, by means of a calibration run. In
special circumstances a creep time adjustment by the mechanic is still possible. Only the
values to gain the level accuracy must be put manually for each floor into the systems
memory. Please refer to OVF10 FCM, for a description of the calibration procedure.

6.3 Emergency Stop

In case of an emergency stop the motor current is interrupted by switching of the PWM out-
put before the inverter relay has been dropped.

In case of emergency stop the OP-signal is released. If the DCB I and the inverter are
ready to start again, the OP-signal is operated and the 24V- Signals for a normal run (fast)
are expected.

6.4 DDP
After exceeding the DDP- time the motor is stopped like an emergency stop and the system
shuts down. The inverter will be finally blocked. The DDP-time is reset by reading 1LV or
2LV input signals depending on the direction.

6.5 Inverter Errors

The protection functions of the inverter can disable the inverter during any run. In this case
the inverter HW sends one or more active high error signals to the PWM ASIC (ELGA) and
the PWM output is disabled immediately.
An active inverter error signal causes a hardware shut down. The SW reads the inverter er-
ror message every 80 ms and in case of an error the error is displayed in the SVT. The SW
resets the error and is ready for a new start if possible.

In case of several inverter errors in series the inverter package will be finally blocked.

Following inverter errors are possible:

after...occurences

Over current IGBT 4

Over voltage DC-link 2

Under voltage DC-link 4

In case of a thermal overload greater than 800 C a normal run is finalized at the
next possible stop, an inspection run is interrupted at once.
The drive recovers after cooling down.

b) Voltage error:

e) Drive control related events (DRV)

Overload for longer than 0.5 sec.

f) System error:

g) DDP
After exceeding the DDP-time or after several INV- or DRV- errors within a short
time the elevator stops and the inverter package will be finally blocked.

8 Position Reference System

The OVF10 uses two sensors to recognize the door zone and to measure the creeping
speed just before the landing floor.
The switching behavior of the sensor is important for the functioning of the drive.
For the speed measurement the sensors must show equal sensitivity for each floor magnet.
For the recognition of the special floor magnets the sensors must have low switch-on and
switch-off times.

The sensors are supplied by the OVF10 24Vdc output.

Switching behavior
- switch on time max. 5 ms
- switch off time max. 10 ms
- difference between
both sensors max. 1 % of switching on time
- difference when applied
to different magnets max. 1 % of switching on time

Mechanics
- distance between
both sensors var. 45 mm
- tolerance in distance max. 0.5 mm

Resulting Performance
- error in speed measurement
at a speed of 100 mm/s max. 2 %

9.1 Modification for 50m Rise Packages (Brazilian Version)

To accomplish a higher rise for the OVF10 two new packages (Brazilian Version) were cre-
ated:
GCA21151B2 5kW 400V
GCA21151E2 5kW 220V

These package utilize OVF20 DBRs which are placed on top of the controllers cabinet with
a 20cm space between the resistor box and the top of the cabinet.

GOA9673GV2 for 5kW 400V

GOA9673GV22 for 5kW 220V.

The following modification were done to create the 50m package:

Software:
• 20 floors
• 45 mm LV distance to support a wider range of position reference systems
• optimized motor type 3 to account for the higher rise

Hardware:
• Remove DBR from package and place a OVF20 resistor on the controller cabinet
• Reinforce the internal harness to allow the DBR to be connected at P0 and BR terminals
within the package
• Modify the enclosure with an additional hole and gland to allow a shielded cable for the
external DBR to be mounted properly
• Centered Fan behind the heat sink to improve cooling

Note: The reinforced harness became part of all recent packages

9.2 Modification for Madrid99 version

For the product Madrid99 a special OVF10 5kW was created:

GCA21151AG1 5kW 400V

It is only available as stand alone version:

GCA21151AH1

The following modification were done to the Madrid99 package:

Hardware:
• The complete charging circuit (SW-relay, CHG-relay, charging resistors) is removed
from the package (it is moved into the Madrid99 controller)
• An additional APD filter for the switching power supply on the DCB is included in the
package (in the normal OVF10 wiring the switching power supply is connected after the
normal APD; in the Madrid99 wiring the switching power supply is directly connected to
the line and therefore an additional filter is needed)
• New terminal connector P11 on the lower DIN-rail (the old connector P10 is removed)
• New internal wiring
• No fan (for the limited duty of Madrid99 no fan is needed)
