Programming the drive speeds - Teach-in mode
To start the teach drive the platform has to be in the lower landing station.
Now the
menu point „Teach-in start“ can be activated and the LCD display will show the following:
At the beginning of the teach-in start 2 points are already saved. The point #P:2 is the actual
point of the lower landing stop. A virtual point #P:1 is required for the counting of the
encoder but does not need to be saved nor to be changed at any time.
Once the teach-in starts the lower landing position is already saved and does not need to be
confirmed with the alarm button. Now the unit can be run up with the platform control
buttons to the next point where the platform speed should change.
Important: If a curve is located close to a landing station then there is no need to change the
speed between the curve and the station. The lift will run with curve speed from the landing
station into the curve. Therefore the first point to programme will be after the curve where
the lift should start to drive fast.
The platform will drive out of the landing station with the reduced speed defined by the curve
frequency in the menu. This is set by default to 25Hz. On the first point where the platform
should change the speed it will then switch to drive speed, which is normally set to 50Hz.
To programme a point the lift has to run to the required point and stop. Then the point is
saved by pressing 1 time the alarm button on the platform. Then the platform can drive to
the next point to programme.
The following points on the driveway have to be programmed:
Point after the lower landing station after which the platform should drive fast. This
point should be located around 150mm after the lower landing station.
Points before and after a curve, a sharp change in gradient or entry into horizontal
drive. (The acceleration and deceleration curve of the FI has to be considered)
Point before an intermediate landing stop where the platform should start to drive
slowly.
Intermediate landing stop (platform stops automatically in this point)
Point after the intermediate landing stop where the platform should start to drive fast
again.
Point before the upper landing stop where platform should start to drive slowly.
Important: The drive speed has to be reduced before each curve, sharp change in gradient
and entry/exit into a horizontal drive. The speed must be reduced before the stabilizing ball
enters into the horizontal stabilizing pipe!
Number of the counted point
at beginning of teach-in
mode is always 2
Position count of
the point 2, which
is point at lower
landing
