platform lift
page 27 of 46
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!
If a point was actually saved it can be seen on the display. There the actual saved point
number and position count should be shown. The figure below shows the point 3, which
actually is the first point to be saved when driving out of the lower landing station.
