Spare Outputs Menu
The first four spare output terminals are located on the HC-CTL board. Additional spare out-
puts are available on each HC-UIO Universal Input/Output board.
Please refer to “HC-UIO
Universal Input/Output Board” on page 5-58 . If your installation uses ICE-COP-2 or MC-CPI
serial control panel boards in the car, spare outputs are also available on these boards and will
show up in the Spare Outputs menu as outputs from COP-Fx, CPI-F, CPI-Fx or COP-Rx, CPI-R
depending upon the car control panel and rear door board configuration. If the job has can
panel interface boards, unused spare outputs from these boards must be set to NOT USED. If
controller software is upgraded in the field, it is very important to check programmable CPI
board outputs and verify unused outputs are set to NOT USED.
“Spare” outputs are outputs that can be assigned to a physical board connection through soft-
ware, allowing great flexibility in configuring a controller to meet specific requirements.
Viewing and Assigning Spare Outputs
Virtually every elevator installation requires some inputs or outputs that are not “standard.”
Perhaps because one site has elevator security requirements while another does not or uses a
switch to detect when the machine brake is picked, etc. To accommodate these features without
requiring custom software, MCE defines many spare inputs and outputs in standard software
that can be assigned to a physical connector and used at need. Jobs are well defined and tested
before shipment, allowing MCE to assign, label, and show in the job prints these non-standard
inputs or outputs in most cases.
To view assigned spare outputs:
1. Put the car on Inspection and set Function switch F1 up (all others down).
2. Press the N button to cycle through menus until you see “Spare Outputs Menu,” then
press the S button to select that menu.
3. The display will show the first “spare” (assignable) connector and the output assigned
there.
4. Press the N button to cycle through available assignable connectors in your system and
the output, if any assigned.
5. If you want to assign an output to an unused connector, cycle to the desired connector
then begin pressing the S button to cycle through available output signals in the order
they are shown in the table below. (You can press and hold S to continuously move
through the outputs in their numeric/alphabetic order.)
6. When the desired output is shown, press N (it also may be held to cycle) until the Spare
Outputs menu is completed and the display again shows the top level menus. Press N
until the Save screen is displayed. Save your changes by pressing S when prompted.
Note
After selecting an output, you can also press N and + buttons together to go immediately back to
the top level menus, then continue to press N until the Save menu is displayed.
