2. INTRODUCTION

ARL-500 system, that we present you, our valued customers, under the “Advanced Solution”
heading, is a completely plug-and-run elevator electronics and control system.

ARL-500 is universal. With just a few parameter changes; it can be used for rope traction or
hydraulic elevators, with two-speed or VVVF, up to 48 stops, and for groups of up to 8 elevators.

ARL-500 is customizable. Freely programmable inputs and outputs located on the main board, car
boards and landing boards enable you to adjust your settings according to your needs.

With its special plug-in cables and connectors, it facilitates the commissioning process. You‟ll get
surprised how easily and quickly you will install the complete system.

The ARL-500 main board has most of the functions needed for any elevator system. Mains supply
phase protection, motor temperature monitoring, door-bridging safety relays for door pre-opening
and hydraulic re-leveling, dual-door support adjustable for each floor are all on board of ARL-500.

Car and shaft connections are made easily with sockets. Also, inside-car and car-top board
connections are made with ready-made, socketed cables. Spare terminals add to the flexibility of
the system.

One of the most powerful features of ARL-500 is its large graphic LCD display and its user-
friendly interface that you will get used to in no time. Instead of using 2 or 4 line text displays that
are usually too small and simple, we‟ve made use of graphics LCD technology to maximize ease-
of-use and legibility of the menu and status screens.

The HS500 hand terminal which can be connected to the system from any point on the CANbus
(in the cabin, on the cabin or on landings), in a way, enables you to carry the controller board in
your pocket.

We are doing our best to improve the quality of our products. You, our worthy customers, are our
biggest support in our studies.

Thank you for purchasing ARL-500.

5.7. ERROR STATUS SCREEN

In this screen the active error message of lift system

is monitored.

This screen is one of the status screens that give

information about lift system and can be switched
to the previous/next screen.

Besides, when an error occurs the current screen is

left and an error status screen is displayed where the
information about the error is given.

If an error is handled lift goes into error mode, the

error message and lift status mode message is
displayed.

The error mode depends on the error type. The

error type designates error events that might still
allow the lift controller to continue running, to go
out of service or to be blocked.

When case is removed that causes the error while

controller is out of service, controller directly
attempt to retry with a time delay. If the error status
is terminated after the retry delay time has expired,
controller goes into normal operation mode and the
last screen is restored. Otherwise it stays out of
service.

The number of retries and the retry delay time

depends on the error level. Controller can be
blocked by the error after the maximum number of
retries that is allowed. It is the only way to run lift
again after it is blocked is controller reset.

Dual-speed For 2-speed systems
VVVF Type-A For ADrive, Unidrive SP and ZetaDYN 3BF frequency inverters.
The speed signals are applied together.

ADrive VVVF Inveter activates the higher speed in a case of more

than one speed inputs applied. If the speed control inputs are
driven by relays high speed and low speed signal should be applied
together. Otherwise because of the relay delays, wrong speed
inputs may be perceived at speed changes. Espacially for distance
controlled stops it is important that there must be no delays at
speed transitions.

When the system is resetted, the car cabin moves downwards in its
high speed until the 817 limiter is cut. Sometimes the heights of the
Resetting speed floors are short in some buildings and with high speed the elevator
can not stop on the exact floor level. This function is used to
prevent these kinds of states.
►High speed (V3) The cabin moves in high speed until the 817 limiter is cut.

Middle speed (V2) The cabin moves in middle speed until the 817 limiter is cut.

The timing to keep the main contactor switch-on until the driver
finishes running and drops the mechanical brake contactor (for
only VVVF systems).

The main contactors must drop after the mechanical brake

contactor drops when the lift stops at floor level. If these
Contactor delay contactors drop at the same time, it means the contactors drop
while motor is still running. So this parameter‟s value must be
increased. It is efficient that the main contactors drop 0.5 second
after the mechanical brake contactor drops. It is possible to
increase this delay time but in this case opening door is delayed too
much.

With timing
0-3000 ms
After this time is exceeded the main contactors will be dropped.
With driver‟s feedback signal.

Assign a programmable input to “25: (DRUN) Driver is during

run” as a feedback signal input. The high signal (+24V) means
driver is running and when the low signal (0V) is activated then the
main contactors will be dropped.

78 TTR Travel timer reset This signal must be used in situations

when the travel time exceeds 45 seconds
(the maximum travel time that EN-81
allows). When this input toggles (goes ON
or OFF) the travel counter will reset. For
example if you set "max time for high
speed travel" to 30 seconds and if this
signal toggles every 20 seconds, you will
never get error messages, because counter
will be set to zero in every 20 seconds.

where to take the reset signal;

1) You can put a single magnet and a
magnetic switch on speed regulator. So you
will get a reset signal at every revolution of
speed governor.
2) You can put magnets on shaft and
a magnetic switch on car. The distance
between each magnet must be enough
close (20 – 40 meter can be ok) to reset

6.3.8. Encoder Settings

This section is used to make encoder settings when incremental encoder positioning is
used. If the parameter “System settings > Car position sensing” is not set to “Encoder
counter”, entering this submenu is not allowed.

If you are using an incremental encoder for car positioning, a shaft-learning run must be
performed before going in to normal operation.

6.3.8.1. Floor Level Fine Tuning

This section is used to make the floor level-tuning after the shaft learning process.
The elevator must be able to travel between floors with slight levelling errors. By the
help of this section all floors are approached with in-car calls and the stopping
precision is measured.

Detailed information about shaft learning can be obtained in the section “Floor
tuning of floor levels” in the Installation & Operation Manual.

6.3.8.2. Travel distances

This section is used to set travel distance parameters before going on to the floor-
level fine tuning process. These parameters must be compatible with the settings of
your motor driver.

This parameter indicates the position where the slow-down command will
be sent to the motor driver. This parameter must be compatible with the
settings of your motor driver.
Slowing

high speed the ADrive parameter “1.8 Deceleration distance”. Because of the delay
time of slow-down command received by ADrive. For example if ADrive
parameter “1.8. Deceleration distance” is set to 170cm, set this parameter
to 180cm.
20 – 999 cm ►170 cm

This parameter indicates the position where the slow-down command will be sent
Slowing to the motor driver while travelling in medium speed. It is used for elevators which
distance in are necessary to start running in medium speed. For example if there is a building
medium that has a low floor (alçak kat) the travel distance may not be suitable for high
speed. Thus the elevator starts running in medium speed and with the help of this
speed parameter it starts slowing down.
10 – 999 cm ►100 cm

This parameter indicates the position where the stop command will be sent to the
driver. This parameter must be compatible with the settings of your motor
Slowing driver.

6.3.8.3. Hardware configuration

This section is used to set the hardware configuration of encoder positioning.

The length of door zonebar magnets mounted for SML1-SML2 door

zone magnetic switches.

The default value is 40 cm and it can only be changed when the length of
Flag length bar magnets is changed. If this value is changed after a shaft-learning
drive, a new shaft-learning run must be required. Because during the
shaft-learning run, ARL-500 will determine the relation between pulse-
count and centimeters by using this “flag length” information.

10 – 50 cm ►40 cm

installed between 1st and 2nd floors.
Between 2nd & 3rd It is used for high speed systems where the required deceleration
floors distance is more than a floor to floor distance. 817 bottom
correction switches is installed between 2nd and 3rd floors.

For high speed systems 819-820 decelaration switches of middle

speed are used together with 817-818 decelaration switches of high
speed.

0,1 – 3 seconds ►0,3 seconds

Relevelling With this parameter, after the car lands to a floor, system
relevells the cars position with referencing that floor.
►On: Relevelling is on.
Off: Relevelling is off.

Relevelling Relevelling threshold parameter is only available with the

threshold systems that use encoder. Relevelling occurs according to the
position of the encoder. After landing to any floor if the car
moves more than the value entered in this parameter, system
starts relevelling.

6.3.11. Parking Settings

This section is used to set the parking drive characteristics of the lift system.

Waiting period before starting the park drive. Parking drive can be
deactivated by entering the value “0”.
Parking delay When the lift has no calls in the time set in this parameter then it
moves to the parking floor and waits with open doors.
0 – 60 minutes ►0 min

Parking Stop

Because there is no active call and parking delay is exceeded the controller sends the car
to a programmed parking floor.

The ARL-500 controller has a scheduler that enables time

dependent park drive programs. Each day can de divided in 5
time zones. The time zones are listed in rows. Different park
drive programs can be set for each of these time zones by the
help of this screen.

The parking scheduler for time zones is described in the table below:

In this submenu, headroom/pit protection settings are adjusted.

Headroom Safety system for lifts with limited or no safety

protection system space in the headroom. If the required safety
space in the headroom is not available, due to the
shaft dimensions, a foldable rod with two limit
switches, fitted on the car roof may be used to
fullfill the safety requirements.
- When the foldable rod is in horizontal position,
system operates in normal mode.
- When the foldable rod is in vertical position,
system operates in only inspection mode.
Two limit switches indicates the position of the
rod. One limit switch indicates the full upright
position and the other limit switch indicates the
full horizontal position of the rod.
Enabled
►Disabled

Cartop protection The purpose of the lightbarrier is to detect Access

lightbarrier to the car roof and the lift control system has to
disable normal operation, but allow inspection
operation If the lightbarrier is broken or if the
supervision of the lightbarrier fails. The
lightbarrier is fitted on the car roof, in such a
manner, that it can detect the area on the car roof
that can be used to gain Access to the car roof.
The function of the lightbarrier is supervised from
ARL-500 after every stop in normal operation. To
supervise the lightbarrier the built-in test function
is activated/deactivated and the output of the
lightbarrier has to activate/deactivate due to this.
Enabled
►Disabled

Pit protection The purpose of the limit switch(es) is to detect

switches any access to the shaft pit. On six landing doors,
that can be used to gain access to the shaft pit, a
limit switch is fitted. The switches are connected
to ARL-500 to detect if a switch is opened. The
switch breaks when the corresponding landing
door is opened. If a limit switch is broken and the
car in not at that floor ARL-500 makes elevator
operate only in inspection mode. The system has
to be resetted to operate in normal mode again.

7.4.5.3 Floor Setting With Dipswitches On KKBT

In call-panels; KKBT, 8-switch dipswitches at the backside of the board is used. The first
two switches are for door selecting, the other 6 are for floor selection.

Floor number selection

Door A, B or AB selection

The procedure of floor selection switches is explained below:

Switch value

Switch number

Floor number is coded in binary code. The most-right switch has the least value. The value
of switch which is ON is added to floor number. The value of switch which is OFF is 0
(zero). Floor number is selected by the sum of ON switches value + 1.

For this example floor number 28 is coded.

0 + 16 + 8 + 0 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 28

This landing call panel is indicated as “KK-28”

on ARL-500 display.

For door selection switches, use the table below:
