iLEARN System Manual
CAN NOT ESTABLISH CANBus COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE CAR GATE iDRIVE
CONTROL(S)
(Assumes that all Hoistway Door iDRIVE Units are functioning properly on the CANBus Network, and
the Hoistway Doors are operating correctly when the “# of Car Gate” Parameter is set to 0)
WHAT TO LOOK FOR - Generally, Car Gate fails to operate or Error 16 - GATE_ERROR_COMMS appears on the
iLEARN Door Control.
Step 1 : Ensure that the “# of Car Gates” Parameter is set correctly in the iLEARN Door Control Setup.
Step 2 : Ensure that the most current Car Gate iDRIVE Software is loaded onto the Car Top Gate iDRIVE Control(s)
and that the “FRONT” program is on the Front Gate, and “REAR” program is on the Rear Gate.
Step 3 : Ensure that the CANBus Termination Resistor is in the Front Car Gate iDRIVE Control. This resistor is
located between C03 and C04 of the Front Car Gate iDRIVE PLC CANBus terminal plug.
Step 4 : Ensure that the Car Gate iDRIVE PLC CANBus terminal plugs are properly plugged into the PLC.
Step 5 : Ring-out your CANBus Communication wires C01, C02, C03, and C04 from the iLEARN Door Control to
the Front Car Gate iDRIVE Control. If you have a hoistway wiring error, please make the necessary corrections and
restart your iLEARN Door Control.
Step 6 : Power down your iLEARN Door Control and 240V hoistway power supply. Disconnect fuse next to DC
Power Supply in Car Gate iDRIVE(s). Turn on your iLEARN Door Control and 240V hoistway power supply. Allow
iLEARN to find all hoistway iDRIVE units. Re-insert fuse in Car Gate iDRIVE(s).
CAR GATE WILL NOT OPEN AND/OR CLOSE
(Assumes that the iLEARN is communicating with the Car
Gate iDRIVE(s) and you have the current and correct Car Gate iDRIVE Software loaded on the Car Gate iDRIVE PLC.)
WHAT TO LOOK FOR - Generally, Car Gate(s) fail to Open and/or Close because the gate motor is phased wrong, or
there is an event causing the Gate to stay in the Open position.
Step 1 : Your Car Gate Panel should manually run freely in the Gate Guides with no binding or cocking. The Gate
Panel should travel an equal distance up or down when manually moved with equal force. Insure that your Gate
Weight Stack moves freely.
Step 2 : If you do not have a Stop Button in the COP, or it is not hooked up, jumper the Stop Button by placing a
temporary wire between DI and 04 Stop in the Car Gate iDRIVE.
Step 3 : If you hear the Gate Motor humming when the Open or Close command is given and the Gate(s) will not
Open or Close, reverse the phasing of your motor.
Step 4 : From the Car Top, check the Digital Inputs Car Gate iDRIVE. Digital Input LEDs Reversing Edge, Light
Curtain #1 and #2, and Stop Button should be lit. If any of these are not lit, then check the condition of the specific
item.
HOISTWAY DOORS AND CAR GATE(S) WILL NOT CLOSE ON AUTO-TIME-CLOSE
WHAT TO LOOK FOR - Ensure that the ATC input from the Elevator Control is properly wired to the iLEARN Door Con-
trol. Check to see that both the OPEN and CLOSE iSENSORs are initialized.
