4.5.5 Lift controller DIP switch settings
The lift controller supports the following methods for sending signals to the lift. Select the signalling method according
to the specifications of the lift by setting the lift controller’s DIP switches.
Relay signalling
Each port of the lift controller controls one floor of the lift. Each lift controller can control 20 different floors; up to 5 lift
controllers can be used to control up to 100 different floors.
When using relay signalling, DIP switches determine the lift controller number of each lift controller in the branch.
Binary signalling
One lift controller can control up to 100 different floors.
Normally open and normally closed connections
For both relay and binary signalling, the number 8 DIP switch determines whether connections are normally open or
normally closed.
Note:
R
After you have set the DIP switches, you must also configure the system to use relay signalling or binary signalling.
Use PC programming (page 46) to configure the
[Lift Signal Mode]
setting, or lobby station programming
“

setting.

*1 For switches 1–5, each switch setting can only be used one time per branch.
The number 6 and 7 switches must always be set to the "off" position.
The number 8 DIP switch determines whether connections are normally open (switch is in the "off" position) or
normally closed (switch is in the "on" position).
