3.3.4 Zero cycle command
The zero cycle command is used to initialise the lift encoder counter and the floor counter. When the
initialisation procedure is complete, if the floor levels are operational, it executes a floor 0 positioning
operation.
The zero cycle is a sequence used to:
•
Initialise the motor incremental encoder.
•
Initialise the floor counter function performed by the realignment cams.
The following
conditions
are necessary in order for the zero cycle sequence to function correctly:
1. Set the ZeroSpd parameter, which represents the zero search speed, to a suitably low value.
2. In the area delimited by the Lower Limit cam there must
only be one
floor cam, also called a
zero cam.
The zero cam consists of the or of the two floor cams.
3. The zero cycle sequence
must never
be started when the position of the lift car is lower than the
deceleration cam.
The
zero cycle sequence
is performed as follows:
1. If the zero cam is not engaged:
•
The lift car starts moving in the negative direction.
•
The moment the lift car engages the zero cam, the incremental encoder position and floor counter
are initialised.
•
The lift car stops and the system sets ZeroFound = 1 and concludes the zero cycle sequence.
2. If the zero cam is engaged:
•
The lift car starts moving in the positive direction.
•
The movement stops when the lift car releases the zero cam.
•
The lift car starts moving in the negative direction.
•
The moment the lift car engages the zero cam, the incremental encoder position and floor counter
are initialised.
•
The lift car stops, the system sets ZeroFound = 1 and concludes the zero cycle sequence.
For a variety of reasons, the zero sequence must be performed at low speed. If the sequence is launched
with the lift car a long way from the zero cam, the cycle could take a very long time to be executed.
Home Zone
There must only be
one
landing zone
cam in this area.
Zero cam
This cam is the logical OR of cam A
and cam B.
Direction of increase in height of lift.
Never start the zero cycle
sequence if the lift car has
exceeded this limit!
