1. INTRODUCTION
ADrive is a high performance motor driver designed for elevators.
Can be used with asynchronous (open loop/closed loop) and synchronous lift motors.
Provides an evacuation operation by driving the motor with back-up power (60-120V battery or
1-phase 220V UPS).
Provides a static auto-tuning for synchronous motors (without rotating the motor).
It supports many different types of absolute (EnDat, SSI and SinCos) and incremental (HTL,
TTL) encoder.
The functions of ADrive are improved to get the best performance especially at startup and stop.
Startup and stop accuracy does not change with full load or empty car (for applications with
encoder).
Thanks to vector control, it has the full control of motor from zero speed to maximum speed and
can achieve 200% start-up torque.
For short travel distances the travel curve is automatically readjusted and boring travels at low
speed for short levels are impeded.
The parameter units are convenient for elevators (m, cm, m/s etc.).
The mechanical fan noise and electrical switching noise are minimized, by this no disturbing
noises for residences close to machine rooms are produced.

Dangerous high voltage on the brake resistor connections and on the braking resistor
itself.
Braking resistor must be installed in a horizontal position for best heat dissipation
and must be fitted with its connecting bars.
Do not mount the braking resistor on the controller cabinet. While mounting, be
aware that excessive heat dissipated by the brake resistor may damage the control
panel, cause malfunctions or start a fire. The temperature of the break resistor
housing can attain 100°C during operation.
The brake resistor must be mounted in a dry location and must be fixed properly
against vibrations.
There must be minimum 30 cm of gap above and below the brake resistor to provide
air ventilation.
The capacity of brake resistors may increase due to the operating frequency of
elevator and maximum journey duration.

11. AC line reactor (Line choke)

A 3-phase AC line reactor must be used to comply with the harmonic current limits required by
the EN 61000-3-12 standard.
Note: A DC reactor is integrated inside all ADrive models.

22 30 >= 50 >= 100 0.5 0.9
37 50 >= 75 >= 140 0.3 0.5
Note: It is recommended to use AC line reactors with impedance values 3% (Z%) for standard
applications. The impedance value %Z is also the voltage value that drops across the AC line
reactor (for example: 5% voltage drops across the AC line reactor with impedance value 5%).
5% reactor would be a better choice for reducing the harmonic currents with a balanced mains
supply (less than 5% voltage imbalance between phases).
It is suggested that a 3-phase AC line reactor be installed on the supply line also to obtain the
following benefits:
- limiting the input current peaks on the input circuit of the inverter
- increasing the duration of line capacitors inside the inverter
- increasing power factor, thus reducing line current

13.1.3.3. Consider the following statements for motor connection:
2 serial contactors must be used at motor circuit for conformity to EN-81.
The drive enable signal (EN) must be switched by the open contacts of KPA and KPB.
Otherwise the inverter will continue driving the motor after the contactors are off.
Meanwhile If the contactors are on again the outputs of the inverter may be damaged
because of over current.
For synchronous drive, 2 main contactors with 4 main contacts each has 2x NO and 2x
NC main contacts are required for motor connection. The motor windings must be short
circuited with NC main contact of each main contactor to prevent an uncontrolled
acceleration of the synchronous motor (See wiring diagram). Due to the high current,
main contacts MUST be used for short circuiting.
For synchronous drive, the drive enable signal (EN) must also be switched by a NO
contact of an auxiliary relay. The auxiliary relay has to be connected parallel to the
travel contactors. (See chapter 13.2.1.1)
The length of the motor wire should not be longer than 10 meters. If the motor wire need
to be longer than 10 meters, a motor output reactor is recommended.
Use a shielded cable with an appropriate cross-section (For more information see
Chapter 6)
Motor cable must both be grounded either the inverter and the motor.
Motor cable must be pulled away from the other cables as far as possible.
The placement of the motor cables must not be parallel to other cables. If necessary, the
angle between the motor cable and other cables must be 90 degree.
Cables must have at least +60 ºC temperature resistance.
For a suitable ground connection, the shield of motor cable should be fixed to ground
plate with metal clamps.

• In a case of more than one speed inputs applied the higher one is activated.
• If the speed control inputs are driven by relay contacts, high speed and low speed signal should
be applied together. Otherwise, because of the relay contact delay, wrong speed inputs may be
perceived at speed changes especially for distance controlled stops it is important that there
must be no delays at speed transitions.

13.2.1.1. Recommended connection of enable signal (EN) for synchronous drive

Adrive motor driver checks the activation-releasing of the main contactors (KPA, KPB) with
ENABLE input. The main contactors must be activated before the inverter starts driving. Similarly,
before the main contactors are released, device must stop driving. However, when the safety circuit is
interrupted during motor drive, due to the releasing of the main contactors will take a certain time, the
ENABLE signal interruption will be delayed and the motor circuit will be opened by the main
contactors while the device is still continue to driving. This situation may cause excessive current
draw from the device. Driver will give IPM error in these cases.
Therefore, to avoid this situation that shorten the life-time of the device, it is recommended to switch
the drive enable signal (EN) also from a NO contact of an auxiliary relay. The auxiliary relay has to
be connected parallel to the travel contactors. Auxiliary relay will release more quickly than the main
contactors and the drive will be cut off without waiting for the release of the main contactors.

06.2011 24 ADrive
Recommended mechanical brake connection:
According to EN 81-1, disconnection of the mechanical brake coils from electrical current mus
be ensured by at least two contactors. The main-contactors disconnecting the motor current
may be used for this purpose also.

KPA, KPB: Motor contactors
N
The main contactors (KPA and KPB) must be used to disconnect the DC supply of the mechanical
brake. On the other hand, the brake contactor must be used to disconnect the AC supply.
Disconnecting the DC supply directly while AC supply is still connected will cause arcs on the
contact plates and will shorten the lifetime of the contacts. For that reason, the contacts on DC
circuit must only be opened after the AC supply is cut-off. This will ensure that the contacts will
only be used to disconnect the mechanical brake supply only in emergency situations.
Only the main terminals (not auxillary terminals) of the contactors must be used in the
mechanical brake circuit.
A suitable varistor must be used to filter the instantaneous high-voltage peaks on the
brake coil.

13.2.4.3. Consider the following statements when connecting the encoder:
The inverter must be switched off before connecting the encoder.
The motor must be properly grounded before connecting the encoder.
Do not ground the encoder through both the motor and inverter side. If the encoder is
isolated from the motor, and from ground, then connect the cable shield to the grounding
conductor on the inverter.
When connecting the encoder cable with SUB-D connector, please ensure that the pin
configuration of the encoder cable corresponds to the pin configuration of the ENCABIT-
Plus module. Faulty connection may cause un-repairable damage to the encoder or the
inverter.
The connection cable of encoder may never be unplugged or removed under voltage.

13.3. EMERGENCY EVACUATION OPERATION
ADrive is capable of performing an automatic evacuation by driving the motor with connection
of a set of batteries or a 1-phase 230Vac UPS in case of a mains power failure.
Evacuation operation with back-up power is supported only for closed-loop operation.
This feature is available in version V2.5 and higher of processor board.
13.3.1. General information:

For emergency evacuation in case of power failure, an external power supply is required to
supply the components in the elevator system (elevator control unit, mechanical brakes, retiring
cam, door operator, …) with sufficient power. Thus, a UPS is needed in all applications.
Therefore, there are two ways of supplying back-up power to the elevator control system for
evacuation operation with ADrive inverter.
1st way For motor power: Min. 60Vdc battery voltage

For other units (except motor power): 1-phase 230Vac UPS
2nd way 1-phase 230Vac UPS (for whole system including the motor power)
The selection of power supply for evacuation operation depends on the type of the evacuation
method (evacuation in the the lower load direction or command direction given by the lift
controller).
If the evacuation operation is performed in the lower load direction, 60Vdc battery back-up
supply will be sufficient.
If the evacuation operation is performed in the command direction given by the lift controller
(not in the lower load direction), because the required power for moving the car is increased, a
battery pack with higher voltage (72-120Vdc) or a 1-phase 230Vac UPS with a sufficient power
is needed.
13.3.2. Required back-up power supplies:

In evacuation operation, two dc supplies must be provided to the inverter as follows:
The connection of the back-up power has to be carried out in accordance with the specifications
described in the Chapter 13.3.5.
The power circuit supply:
This provides just the power for the motor during evacuation operation. The power circuit of the
inverter can either be supplied by batteries or by a UPS.
This supply must be connected to the input terminals L1 and L3.
The back-up power connected to the inverter is set by the parameter “12.1 Battery voltage”.
The control circuit supply (24Vdc):

This provides just the power for control circuits when the AC supply is not present. This supply
must be permanently connected to the +/-24V input terminals on the inverter.
06.2011 39 ADrive
13.3.3. Evacuation in the lower load direction:

Performing the evacuation in the lower load direction can help to minimize the power
requirement during the evacuation operation. It is highly recommended to use this facility when
the evacuation direction is not mandatory.
During each travel, ADrive determines the lower-load direction which depends on the weight
imbalance between the car and the counter-weight. This information is output from TO1 terminal
and it may be used by external devices which need this information.
Method of “Evacuation in the lower-load direction” maybe activated or disactivated by the

“12.2-DIRECTION” parameter.
- On evacuation, if 12.2 parameter is set to “BD:EASIEST DIR.”, ADrive will ignore the
direction command from the controller and will move automatically towards the “lower-load
direction”
- If 12.2 parameter is set to “BD:COMMAND DIR.”, TO1 lower-load direction output must be
read by the controller and the controller must give the appropriate evacuation direction
command to the driver.
During evacuation, exact stopping point depends on the car-load. The floor level may be missed
slightly.
13.3.3.1. Back-up Power Requirement Calculations for Evacuation Towards

Lower-Load Direction:
As the car will be moved in the same direction in which the gravity forces the system to move, the
back-up power will only be used to slow down the car and (if the system is nearly balanced) to
accelerate the car.
If the travel speed on evacuation is set too low, this will elongate the travel time and will cause the
brake coil to consume energy for a longer period. Because of this, setting the evacuation speed to a
value between %15 and %35 of nominal motor speed is recommended. Evacuation speed is
limited by “12.3-BAT.Speed” (V4) parameter. Even if it is possible to move faster by back-up
power, the driver will not allow the car to exceed the speed set by this parameter.
If the distances between floor levels are long, the evacuation time will be long which means the
power consumption will be higher. While calculating the back-up power requirements, this fact
must also be considered.
The voltage of the connected back-up power must be set in the parameter “12.1-BAT.VOLTAGE”.
a) With battery supply:

60 VDC battery voltage is sufficient. While determining the capacity required for the batteries, a
rule of thumb is, choosing the batteries such that battery capacity in Ah’s will be at least 1/3rd of
the motor current in A’s. For example; at least a 7Ah battery must be used for a 21A motor.
06.2011 40 ADrive
b) With UPS Supply:

A UPS having the power of 1/5th of the motor power should be sufficient. For example: A 1.1kW
UPS may be used for a 5.5kW motor.
The power that will be drawn from the UPS must be limited by “12.4-UPS POWER” parameter. If
power is not limited, the UPS may be overloaded.
If the UPS will also power other electrical loads during evacuation (i.e: control panel, mechanical
brakes, door operator, etc), the power required by those loads must also be considered on
calculation of the UPS power.
13.3.4. Evacuation Towards Command Direction:
This method must be used if evacuation is required to finish on a certain predetermined floor.
If “Evacuation Towards Command Direction” is required, “12.2-DIRECTION” parameter must be

set to “BD:COMMAND DIR.”. In that case, the driver will move the car towards the direction
commanded by the controller.
On “Evacuation Towards Commanded Direction”, movement direction is independent of the car-

load. The car is moved in the desired direction and is stopped exactly on floor level.
13.3.4.1. Back-up Power Requirement Calculations for Evacuation Towards

Lower-Load Direction:
On “Evacuation Towards Commanded Direction”, the worst case scenarios are when the
command is up with a fully-loaded car or when the command is down with an empty car.
Therefore, auxiliary power requirement calculations must be made considering these scenarios.
Using a low speed setting for evacuation, will reduce instantaneous power requirements but will
increase evacuation duration. Likewise, using a high speed setting will increase the instantaneous
power requirements while reducing the evacuation duration. Evacuation speed may be limited by
“12.3-BAT.Speed” parameter. The driver will not allow the car to exceed this speed limit even if
the system allows moving faster.
If the distances between floor levels are long, the evacuation time will be long which means the
power consumption will be higher. While calculating the back-up power requirements, this fact
must also be considered.
The voltage of the connected back-up power must be set in the parameter “12.1-BAT.VOLTAGE”.
a) With battery supply:
It is recommended to apply as 72VDC – 120VDC battery voltage. While determining the capacity
required for the batteries, a rule of thumb is, choosing the batteries such that battery capacity in
Ah’s will be at least 1/3rd of the motor current in A’s. For example; at least a 7Ah battery must be
used for a 21A motor.
06.2011 41 ADrive
b) With UPS Supply:
Assuming the evacuation speed to limited to 1/4th of nominal motor speed; a rule of thumb is to
use a UPS with power rating of at least half the motor power. For example: A 5 kW UPS may be
used for a 10 kW motor.
In reality, the exact power requirement of the UPS is dependent on many factors including shaft
efficiency, evacuation speed and motor plate values. The best way to determine the exact
requirements is to find it empirically. While measuring the power requirements, the following
procedure may be used:
- Instead of a UPS, mains power is supplied to the real system

- Car is unloaded
- Evacuation speed limit is set by the “12.3-BAT.Speed” parameter (recommended to set it to
1/4th of nominal speed)
- The current drawn from mains during evacuation in downwards direction is measured.
Minimum required power (W) = 220 V x Measured current (A)

Minimum required power (VA) = 220 V x Measured current (A) x 1.4
The UPS should be chosen such that its power rating is at least 1.3 times the calculated minimum
power requirement.
The power that will be drawn from the UPS must be limited by “12.4-UPS POWER” parameter. If
power is not limited, the UPS may be overloaded.
If the UPS will also power other electrical loads during evacuation (i.e: control panel, mechanical
brakes, door operator, etc), the power required by those loads must also be considered on
calculation of the UPS power.

13.3.6. Process of an evacuation travel:
The elevator controller must be capable of performing an evacuation operation in case of a power
failure. The following operations must be carried out respectively by the elevator control system:
● Control detects mains failure.

● Control recognizes inverter fault.
● Control waits a certain time for the mains power to restore or for a generator to go online.
● Control disconnects the mains supply from inverter by releasing the KSAK contactor.
● Control activates the KKAK contactor after a certain time (t1: minimum 2s):
▪ This connects the back-up power supply to the input terminals L1 and L3.
▪ This activates the input terminal CI1. Inverter goes into an evacuation operation mode and
inverter fault is cleared.
● Control recognizes that the inverter is ready (no fault).
● Control activates the drive ENABLE signal (input terminal EN) by activating the main
contactors (KPA and KPB).
● Control applies the speed and direction command to the inverter.
▪ If the parameter “12.2-DIRECTION” is set as “BD: EASIEST DIR”:
◦ Inverter ignores the applied speed and direction commands and starts running the
motor in the optimum direction (easy direction) with a maximum speed limited with V4
speed.
▪ If the parameter “12.2-DIRECTION” is set as “BD: COMMAND DIR”:
◦ Inverter ignores only the applied speed command and starts running the motor in the
direction applied with a maximum speed limited with V4 speed.
● Control deactivates the evacuation operation after the trip is completed with the following
sequence:
▪ Control releases the KKAK contactor:
◦ This disconnects the back-up power supply from the inverter.
◦ This deactivates the input terminal CI1. Inverter goes into a normal operation mode.
▪ Control reconnects the mains power to the inverter by activating the KSAK contactor after
a certain time (t2: minimum 1s).

06.2011 52 ADrive
1.1 - 1.4 – High Speed / Middle Speed / Inspection Speed / Low Speed (V3, V2, V1, V0)
The speed which is selected by the V3, V2, V1, V0 input terminals of the inverter. In a case
of more than one speed inputs applied the higher one is activated. If the speed control inputs are
driven by relays high speed and low speed signal should be applied together. Otherwise because
of the relay delays, wrong speed inputs may be perceived at speed changes especially for
distance controlled stops it is important that there must be no delays at speed transitions.
1.5 – Acceleration (PA: 0.10 m/s² – 5.00 m/s²)

The acceleration of the elevator. As the acceleration increased, the speed up time decreases.
If decreased the speed up time increases.
1.6-Acceleration Begin Soften (S1: 0.10 – 5 .00 m/s³)

The acceleration of the elevator is not started directly with the parameter PA. By increasing
the acceleration smoothly with parameter S1, sharp changes in the acceleration are prevented.
Consequently the acceleration is felt less by the passenger.
1.7-Acceleration end soften (S2: 0.10 – 5 .00 m/s³)

At the end of acceleration while passing to constant speed the acceleration is decreased
smoothly to prevent sharp changes in the acceleration. Consequently the acceleration is felt less
by the passenger.
1.8-Slowing Distance (X_SLW: 10 - 500 cm)

If the STOPPING TYPE at Parameter 1.10 is adjusted to “STP WITH DISTANCE” while the
elevator speeds down from V3 to V0, the distance to slow down from V3 to V0 is equalized to
the value of this parameter automatically by adjusting the S ramps. No need to adjust the S3-S4
and deceleration parameters.
1.9-Stopping Distance (X_STP: 1 – 50 cm)

If the STOPPING TYPE at Parameter 1.10 is adjusted to “STP WITH DISTANCE” the
distance from V0 to 0 speed is equalized to the value of this parameter automatically by adjusting
the S ramps. No need to adjust the S3-S4 and deceleration parameters.
1.10-Stopping Type (“Stp with distance” or “With NA/S3/S4”)

Determines that the speed transition from V3 to V0 and from V0 to 0 will be whether
according to distance or according to parameters of deceleration.
1.11-Deceleration (NA: 0.10 – 5.00 m/s²)

The deceleration of the elevator. As the deceleration increased, the speed down time
decreases. If decreased the speed down time increases.
1.12-Deceleration Begin Soften (S3: 0.10 – 5 .00 m/s³)

The deceleration of the elevator is not started directly with the parameter NA. By increasing
the deceleration smoothly with parameter S3, sharp changes in the deceleration are prevented.
Consequently the deceleration is felt less by the passenger.
06.2011 53 ADrive
1.13-Deceleration End Soften (S4: 0.10 – 5 .00 m/s³)

At the end of acceleration while passing to constant speed the acceleration is decreased
smoothly to prevent sharp changes in the acceleration. Consequently the acceleration is felt less
by the passenger.
1.14-Mechanical Brake On Delay (MB_ON: 0.1 – 3.0 Sn)

Delay of the mechanical brake open. For this period motor is hold at zero speed and waits for
mechanical brake to free motor. At the end of delay the elevator begins accelerating. Too short
delays causes vibration because of torque on the motor before the mechanical brake opens. Too
long delays increases the travel time.
1.15-Mechanical Brake Off Delay (MB_OFF: 0.1 – 3.0 Sn)

Delay of the mechanical brake close. After the elevator reaches zero speed the motor
continue to drive at zero speed for this period. Too short delays causes the motor power cut off
before the mechanical brake blocks motor. In this situation the car may move out of control to
heavier direction. The elevator controller card must hold the contactors till the end of the this
time. If this is not done, the sparks at contactor contacts may disturb the driver.
1.16-Initializing Jerk (As: 0.01 – 4.00 m/s²)

Instead of starting directly with the S ramp, the elevator may be first accelerated to a Vs
speed with a As acceleration and to eliminate the rope tension and inertia, the actual ramp is
passed over after a delay Ts. This function is suitable for high buildings to eliminate the rope
bounce. (Not used if Vs=0)
1.17-Initializing Speed (Vs: 0 – 1.00 m/s)

Please see the parameter 1.16.
1.18-Initializing Time (Ts: 0 – 3.00 Sn)

06.2011 55 ADrive
2.0 – Motor type (Induction / Synchronous)
The type of lift motor. If synchronous motor is selected, 6.1 control type parameter can
only be set to closed loop.
2.1-Nominal Speed (VN: 0.10 – 5.00 m/s )

The nominal speed of the elevator machine. This value is given by the machine manufacturer
and shown on the machine plate.
The suspension ratio of the elevator system is also determines the nominal speed. By using a
2:1 suspension ratio, the elevator nominal speed will be a half of the motor nominal speed.
Nominal speed may be calculated by this formula:
2 * π * RadiusofTractionSheave * MotorNomRpm
Vnom =
60 * GearRatio * RopeSuspensionRatio
For example radius of traction sheave = 40cm, Motor nominal rpm = 1430, Gear ratio = 1 / 60 and
rope suspension ratio = 1:1
2 * π * 0.4 * 1430
Vnom = = 1m / s
60 * 60 * 1
2.2-Motor RPM At Nominal Speed (Rpm_Motor: 100 – 5000 rpm)

The motor RPM at which nominal speed is gained.
2.3-Incremental Encoder Resolution (Pulse: 100 – 5000 Pulse/Rev.)

The pulse of the incremental encoder per revolution. This parameter is not used for absolute
value encoders.
2.4-Line Voltage (Vline: 300 – 420 Volt)

Line voltage applied to L1, L2, L3 terminals.
2.5 -Motor Nominal Voltage (Vmotor: 100 – 400 Volt)

Voltage that must be applied to motor for full speed. This value is specified on the motor
plate by the motor manufacturer. The voltages are different for star and delta connections so
don’t forget to check the connection type.
2.6-Motor Nominal Current (Imotor)

Nominal current of the motor. This value is specified on the motor plate by the motor
manufacturer.
2.7-Motor Nominal Frequency (Fmotor: 10 – 100 Hz)

Nominal frequency of the motor. This value is specified on the motor plate by the motor
manufacturer.
06.2011 56 ADrive
2.8-Motor Power Factor (COS Q: 0.1 – 1.0)

Motor power factor. This value is specified on the motor plate by the motor manufacturer.
2.9-Rotor Slip (R_slip: 1.0 – 9.0 Hz)

Asynchronous motors have a slip between rotor and electrical rotating field applied to stator.
The value of this slip is entered by this parameter. Too small slip value causes over current and
heating of motor. Too high slip causes unstable motor current and vibration. It is adviced not to
change this parameter’s default value if there is no need. Slip frequency may be calculated by the
formula below:
( StatorNomRpm − MotorNomRpm)
Fslip = * Fnom
( StatorNomRpm)
Fnom * 60
StatorNomRpm =
(numberofpoles / 2)
For example : The slip for a 50Hz , 1440 rpm , 4 poles motor is like below:
50 * 60
StatorNomRpm = = 1500 Rpm
2
(1500 − 1440)
Fslip = * 50 = 2 Hz
(1500)
2.10-No Load Motor Current (Inoload: %20 - %80)

Ratio of no load current to nominal current. Too high value causes high motor current.
Consequently motor heat rises and more power consumed. Too low value causes torque loss
which shows itself as a vibration. Values of parameters 2.9 and 2.10 are very critical values for
the motor drive performance. Optimum value is where minimum motor current is obtained
without vibration. For getting to this optimum values the elevator must run a few times and the
motor current should be monitored.
2.11-Rotor Time Constant (T_rotor: 1- 999 ms)

Time constant for motor rotor. Dependence of the inverter to this parameter is reduced, do
not change this parameter if not necessary. This value may be get from the motor manufacturer.
This parameter is needed for vector control.

2.16 - Thermal Mod (Motor_Ther: %20 - %250)

Motor temperature is estimated by a heat model which is formed by the motor parameters.
Heat model determines the temperature of the motor by using the current and rpm of the motor.
Default value for this parameter is %100. Higher values allows more load up on motor while less
values increases thermal protection sensitivity.
2.17 – Motor Direction (Not inverted / Inverted)
This parameter can be used to change the motor direction. If motor goes in the wrong
direction, the wires to the motor must be reversed. Motor’s direction can also be reversed easily
by using this parameter without making any wiring changes.
2.18 – Encoder Direction (Not inverted / Inverted)
This parameter can be used to change the encoder direction. If driver gives wrong
direction error after the correct wiring of encoder in a closed-loop control, the connection of
encoder phases must be reversed. Encoder’s direction can also be reversed easily by using this
parameter without making any wiring changes.
06.2011 58 ADrive
2.19 – Number of poles (M_Poles: 2, 4, 6, ... , 64)
The number of poles of the motor. Enter the data on the motor name plate.
Note: This value is not the number of pole pairs.
2.20 – Encoder offset (M_Offset: 0.0’ - 359.9')
The encoder offset angle between the zero point of absolute encoder and the electrical
zero point of motor winding for synchronous motors.
Before a normal operation of synchronous motor it is required to measure the encoder

offset. This parameter is measured automatically by the inverter during auto tune. For further
information see section “20. Driving Synchronous Machines with ADrive”
After the auto tune process, note the value of this parameter. When the inverter need to be
changed because of a failure, this parameter must be set to this value manually for the new
inverter without performing a new auto tune process. The auto tune process must be performed
when the relative position between motor and encoder changes.
2.21 – Absolute encoder type (SC.EnDat-2048 / SC.SSI-2048 / SC.SC-2048)
The type of absolute value encoder.
SC.EnDat-2048: 2048 pulse/revolution EnDat encoder.

SC.SSI-2048: 2048 pulse/revolution SSI encoder
SC.SC-2048: 2048 pulse/revolution SinCos encoder
In this version of ADrive only 2048 pulse/revolution value can ve selected. Please ask
ARKEL for different pulse/revolution values.

3.7 – Anti-Rollback position controller Kd gain
3.9 – Encoder filter
3.10 – Dynamic filter
3.1-3.4 The speed controller Kp and Ki gains (KP0, KI0, KP1, KI1)
PI speed controller integral and proportional factor is adjusted automatically in accordance with travel
speed. At zero speed PI speed controller process with KI0 integral factor and it is increased to KI1 at full
speed step by step.
At startup of elevator, KI0 and KP0 is hold high to make the PI speed controller’s reaction faster to
very little speed changes. At full speed there is no need for so much sensitive PI controller because it
causes high motor enforce. (For example at startup the reaction must be quick to 5-10 revolution changes,
while at 1400 rpm it is meaningless to give sudden torque changes for 5-10 revolutions.)
The integral factor multiplies the total of errors so must be adjusted to very smaller than KP otherwise
it causes vibration and overshoots at travel curve. Usually it is better to adjust KP higher than 10xKI.
If KI and KP are too high it makes noise at motor. Too low values cause delays to catch the reference
speed and sensitivity loss.

3.5 – Anti-Rollback position controller (Disabled / Enabled)
This function is used only for closed loop applications.
After the mechanical brake is released a rollback may occur because the motor has not yet
developed enough torque to hold the car. The car may move up or down depending on the load
balance. This effect is most noticeable with gearless motors because of a low friction. The anti-
rollback function is used to help prevent rollback on elevators.
Mechanical brake release point is considered as reference point. Unwanted movements to

the left or right side from this point will be stopped by applying force to contrary direction with
position controller.
Anti-rollback position controller gains are determined by the parameters 3.6 and 3.7.
Increasing the gains will cause more quick response to rollback. Reducing the gains will cause
late response. Too high gain values can lead noisy and instable startup. Too low gain values
cause an appreciable rollback in car. See section “19.4 Improving start-ups” for appropriate Anti-
Rollback settings.
3.6- Anti-Rollback position controller Kp gain (KP_ARB: 10 – 2000)
The Kp gain of Anti-rollback position controller.
3.7- Anti-Rollback position controller Kd gain (KD_ARB: 10 – 2000)
The Kd gain of Anti-rollback position controller.
3.9- Encoder filter (Enc_Filter: 1-4)
The filter applied to the encoder value.
1: 2 ms
2: 4 ms
3: 8 ms
4: 16 ms
It is recommended to set this parameter to 2 for closed-loop asynchronous motors and to 2

or 3 for synchronous motors.
3.10- Dynamic filter (Disabled / Enabled)
In synchronous motors, as the rom of the motor is low, it may be necessary to use an
encoder filter level of 3 or 4. Increasing the filtering level allows a more precise reading of speed
but on the other hand delays the reading speed. Selecting dynamic filtering will allow
compensation of these delays.

9-AUTO TUNE
9.1 – Auto Tune (ENABLE / DISABLE / ENABLE_STATIC)
a) Auto tune for Asynchronous motors
Enable auto tune function after entering the motor parameters from the motor plate to
determine the V/F values automatically. Device will tune with first command and sets the
V/F table.
Detail description is given in the section “18. How to adjust for open loop practically”.
b) Auto tune for Synchronous motors
Before a normal operation of synchronous motors it is required to carry out an auto

tune process.
In synchronous motors, auto-tuning may be done while moving the motor

(dynamic) or without moving the motor (static).
For dynamic auto-tuning, this parameter must be set to “ENABLE”. Dynamic auto-
tuning may only be performed when the motor is free from any load or when the car and
counter-weight are in exact balance. During auto-tuning, the motor will turn 1 revolution
clockwise and 1 revolution counter-clockwise.
For static auto-tuning, this parameter must be set to “ENABLE_STATIC”. Statc

auto-tuning is performed while the mechanical brakes are locked and the motor is under
load. Therefore, the motor will not move during static auto-tuning.
Note: “ENABLE_STATIC” option in the auto-tuning parameter is visible only if

“2.21-ENCODER TYP” parameter is set to SC.EnDat-2048, SC.SSI-2048 or SC.SC-
2048.
Detail description is given in the section “20. Driving Synchronous Machines with
ADrive”.

11.6 – Brake release monitoring (Brake mon: Enabled / Disabled)

The control of brake release monitoring function for synchronous motors.
The brake release monitoring micro-switches are connected to PI1 input on ENCABIT-
Plus module. In order to enable this function, the driver must be equipped with ENCABIT-Plus
module and the connection must be made as described in the section 11.2.5.
11.7 – PTC temperature monitoring (PTC check: Enabled / Disabled)
The control of PTC temperature monitoring function.
Motor PTC & brake resistor thermostat can be connected to PI2 input on ENCABIT-Plus
module (usually when the inverter and the lift controller are located in separate places). In order
to enable this function, the driver must be equipped with ENCABIT-Plus module and the
connection must be made as described in the section 11.2.6.
11.8 – Over-gain detection function (S_OGD Func: Enabled / Disabled)
The control of anti-rollback over gain detection function.
This function can only be enabled when the parameter 3.5 Anti-rollback position
controller is activated.
If too high values are entered for anti-rollback position controller gains 3.6 and 3.7, the
motor can go into oscillation at startup. This case can lead noisy and instable startup. This
function is used to detect the over-gain. When an over-gain is detected, the inverter gives the
following warning:
H.TORQUE RIPLE
CHECK ARB GAINS
Then the inverter stops the OGD function and drives the motor with acceleration ramp.
It is suggested to keep this function enabled.
11.10 – Trip Imax (Err_Imax: 4 - 99 A), 11.11-Trip ImaxT (Err_Imaxt: 0.1 – 9.9 s)
These parameters are used to limit the motor current. ADrive will give the “Imax_Trip
limit” error when the motor current exceeds the value set in parameter 11.10 during the period of
time set in parameter 11.11.
The device’s current limit may be harmful for the motor when the capacity of device is
larger than the motor capacity. In such cases, it will be appropriate to limit the motor current with
these parameters.
06.2011 65 ADrive
11.12 – Travel current gain (%10 - %100)
At the instant where the mechanical brake is released, the force caused by the imbalance
of the car and counter-weight is transferred instantaneously by the ropes to the rotor. At this
instant, the driver has to increase the motor current immediately to enable the rotor to stand-still
without rolling back. That’s why, PI controller gains for the motor current (11.2. KI_cur and
11.3.KP_cur) are desired to be as high as possible during startup. But adversely, keeping these
gains high during travel will cause fluctuations in motor current and will cause vibrations and
humming noises. This parameter allows reducing the gains during travel. For example, if this
parameter is set to 25%, the gains during travel will be 1/4th of the gains used during startup.
11.13 – Current limit (I_lim)
It is used to set the current limit. It is set to 2 x motor current during the auto-tuning
process. The limit value is the maximum current of the inverter. This values are shown below.

12-BATTERY OPERATION
12.1 – Battery voltage (BAT_Volt: 60-120V, 220V UPS)

This is the setting of the back-up power which will be used during evacuation. Either a
60-120V battery pack or a suitably rated 1-phase 220VAC UPS may be used.
12.2 – Battery direciton (BD: EASIEST DIR / COMMAND DIR)

The type of direction during evacuation operation.
Easiest direction: The evacuation direction is determined by the inverter. ADrive ignores
the applied speed and direction commands and starts running the motor in the in the lower
load direction with a maximum allowed speed limited with the parameter 12.3.
Command direction: The evacuation direction is determined by the lift control system.
Inverter ignores only the applied speed command and starts running the motor in the
direction applied to input terminals UP/DWN with a maximum allowed speed limited with
the parameter 12.3.
12.3 – Battery speed (V4: 0.05 – 5.00 m/s)
Maximum evacuation speed allowed during evacuation operation.

The maximum speed that can be achieved during evacuation operation depends on the
type of motor and loading of the car (evacuation in the lower-load evacuation or command
direction). Max. allowed evacuation speed is limited to the value of this parameter. Even if the
elevator system allows higher speeds, the car speed will not exceed this value.
12.4 – UPS power (UPS_pw: 0.5 – 20 kW)
This parameter is for protecting the UPS device. It will be visible if “12.1-BAT.VOLTAGE”
parameter is set to “220V UPS”. This is the maximum power which can be drawn from the UPS
during evacuation. The driver prevents the UPS from overloading by limiting its power to this
value.
First of all, the power rating of the UPS must be calculated in kWs. Making of those
calculations are explained on section 13.3.3.1 (for lower-load evacuation) and section 13.3.4.1.
(for command direction evacuation).

18. HOW TO ADJUST FOR OPEN LOOP PRACTICALLY

To run the device in open loop mode(without encoder) apply the below step by step.
● Read the motor plate and enter these values to the inverter using MOTOR SETUP menu.
● ENABLE AUTO TUNE function and run the elevator in inspection mode. Keep giving
movement command until AUTO TUNE END message is displayed on the inverter display. The
motor current must be entered correctly before auto-tune. (Too high current will cause over
current and heating of motor. Too low current will cause torque loss at low speeds and stopping
sensitivity will decrease).
● Move the elevator in inspection mode and be sure that it is going in the right direction. If the
main controllers direction is reverse of the elevators direction change the order by the parameter
2.17-Motor direction.
● Run the elevator with V0 speed and check the motor current if it is higher than nominal motor
current decrease Middle Voltage at V/F table. Ideal balanced current is %75 of motor current.
● Be sure that nominal speed (parameter 2.1-Nominal Speed) of the elevator and rpm (parameter
2.2-Motor RPM At Nominal Speed) of the motor are correctly entered.( For example for 0,6
m/sn elevator nominal speed = 0,6 m/sn – nominal rpm = 830 or for 1 m/sn elevator nominal
speed = 1 m/sn – nominal rpm = 1430). Don’t change these parameters to speed up or slow down
the elevator. These parameters are only machine information.
● Enter the speed references at TRAVEL CURVE menu. For applications to speed up the
elevator over the nominal speed, adjust the high speed maximum %30 over the nominal speed.
(For example nominal speed 0,6m/sn – maximum high speed 0,8 m/sn or nominal speed 1 m/sn –
maximum high speed 1,3 m/sn). Be sure that mechanical safety is suitable for this new higher
speed (Mechanical brakes, safety gears, rails, shaft etc.).
● Enter the slowing distance. Adjust this parameter to a value 10-20 cm less than the distance of
the slowing magnets to floor to achieve a secure distance for elevator to slow down and approach
to floor at low speed.( For example if the magnet distance is 170cm, enter the slowing distance
155 cm). If the elevator slows down early and then travels at low speed too much, increase
slowing distance parameter. On the contrary if the elevator is late to slow down and passes the
floor level decrease the slowing distance parameter.
● Enter the stopping magnets distance from exact floor level to stopping distance parameter (Ex.
7cm). This distance must not be neither too much or too little. For example a value of 1cm is not
a realistic value. Because the stoppings will be unstable since it is out of motor power limits to
stop an elevator which goes at low speed in 1 cm. For a long distance like 30 cm the stopping
accuracy will be missed with full and empty car.
Example:
Imot: 16.0 A V3: 1.0 m/s X_Slw: 165 Cm
Vmot: 380 Volt V0: 0.13 m/s X_Stp: 8 Cm
Rpm_nom: 1450
06.2011 68 ADrive
19. HOW TO ADJUST FOR CLOSED LOOP PRACTICALLY

To run the device in closed loop mode (with encoder) apply the below step by step.
● First make the adjustments for open loop and be sure that the elevator is running in open loop
mode.
● Connect the encoder and enter the encoder resolution to parameter 2.3-Encoder Resolution.
● Move the elevator in inspection mode and monitor the motor current. If the current is too high
probably the encoder direction is wrong. Change the order by the parameter 2.18-Encoder
direction.
● Rotor slip frequency must be entered correctly to the inverter. Motor slips are high for old
motors while small for new motors. (Look parameter 2.9-Rotor Slip for calculating the motor
slip)
Try the slip values from 0.7Hz to 3.0Hz with 0.3Hz steps and make a test run with same way
& same load. The appropriate slip value is the one which your motor current is lowest.
Note: If the motor does not reach the estimated rpm, it means that the motor slip is low. If
motor current is not stable and there is a high oscillation, it means that the motor slip is high.
● If you cannot solve the vibration problem. To find the source of problem set KI1, KI0 integral
values of speed controller to minimum and run again.
If vibration is no longer exists this shows that speed controller needs adjustment not motor
parameter. May be integral values are too high or KP difference factors are too small. Run
elevator few times to find best values.
If vibration is still exist when KI0, KI1 is min. This means that problem is at motor
parameters. Try higher no load currents (2.10) and smaller slips (2.9). When vibration
problem is solved set the KI0, KI1 to normal values.
● If necessary change the PI speed controller gains in the CONTROLLER SETUP menu.

20. DRIVING SYNCHRONOUS MACHINES with ADrive
20.1. Encoder connection

To be able to communicate with absolute encoders which have to be used with synchronous
motors, an additional ENCABIT-Plus communication board is necessary. The encoder wirings to
this board must be done as explained in Section 12.2.4.
20.2. Motor parameters

The following values must be entered in the ADrive parameters menu:
2.0-Motor Type: Synchronous

2.1-Nominal Speed: Nominal speed of the car (for example: if the motor speed is 2 m/s and
the gear ratio is ½, the value of 1 m/s must be entered)
2.2-Nominal Speed RPM: RPM value indicated on the motor name plate
2.5-Motor Voltage: Motor voltage
2.6-Motor Current: Motor current
2.19- Number of poles: Number of motor poles
20.3. Autotuning:
a) If possible, a dynamic autotuning should be performed before hoisting the car (without
load). If this is not possible during dynamic autotuning, an amount of weight which will
balance the total car weight and the counterweight should be added into the car. The
balance of the counterweight and the car may be checked by manually releasing the brakes
and making sure that the car does not move with released brakes.
During dynamic autotuning, the motor will turn one revolution in each direction. So please
make sure that the car has enough distance to the top and bottom of the shaft before starting
the autotuning.
In cases where dynamic auto-tuning is not possible, auto-tuning may be performed statically.
For static auto-tuning, “9.1-AUTO TUNE” parameter must be set to “ENABLE_STATIC”.
The most precise way to determine the motor offset angle is to perform a dynamic auto-
tuning with ropes disconnected from the rotor (without load). With static auto-tuning, an
error of up to +/- 12 degrees may be introduced and this error will cause the travel currents
to be %3-%4 higher than ideal.
b) To start autotuning, set the “9.1-Autotune” parameter to “Enabled” and exit the menu.
ADrive will display “Waits Autotune” on its screen. At this point, turn the switch on the
recall terminal to “Rev” position and press either up or down button. Keep the button
pressed until you see the message “Autotune End” on the ADrive screen.
If the message “Wrong direction” is displayed, either toggle the parameter “2.18-Encoder
direction” or swap any two of the 3 motor power lines (U, V, W).
If the message “Auto tune fails” is displayed during autotuning, please check the motor
and encoder connections.
06.2011 70 ADrive
c) The autotuning procedure will determine the correct “2.20- Offset angle”, “11.2-
Current Controller KI Gain” and “11.3-Current Controller KP Gain” values. It is wise
to note these values and store them in a safe place for future reference. So that you will be
able to enter these values manually (without autotuning) in case of a driver replacement.
Remember that the auto tune process must be performed when the relative position
between motor and encoder changes.
d) After autotuning, if the car moves in wrong direction, please toggle the “2.17- Motor
direction” parameter.
20.4. Improving start-ups
In gearless synchronous machines, the car tends to slip rapidly towards the heavy direction at the
moment the brakes are released. For this reason, a special “Anti-rollback function” is
implemented in ADrive. This function must be tuned carefully in order to minimize the undesired
startup trembling. A practical procedure to tune this function is as follows:
a) Set the “1.14-Mechanical Brake On Delay” parameter to 2.0 seconds. This will ensure
that the elevator will be held at rest during 2 seconds after brake release.
b) Unload and position the car to the topmost 1 or 2 meters in the shaft. This is the situation
with the worst case of weight balance.
c) Set the “3.5- AntiRollBack” parameter to “Enabled”.
d) Set the “3.6- KP_ARB” parameter to 60

Set the “3.7- KD_ARB” parameter to 20
Press the down button in the recall terminal. The car will slip upwards a little and will
stop. After the end of “Mechanical brake opening time” (which we had set to 2 seconds”,
the car will start to move downwards with inspection speed. Increase the “3.6” and “3.7”
parameters slightly and retry moving the car in recall mode. Observe the amount of slip in
each retry until you find the values where the slip is not noticeable.
In general, the value of “3.7” should be about 1/3rd of the value of “3.6”. For example, if
you set “3.6” to 120 then 40 will be a reasonable value for “3.6”.
When these parameters are given too high, the motor will make loud noises and will start
to shake on startup. This kind of startup is harmful for the driver and the motor. Also is
very undesirable in terms of passenger comfort. So it is advised to find the critical values
which lead to this undesired startup and to make sure NOT to set the values to greater
than the half of these critical values.
e) Change the “1.14-Mechanical Brake On Delay” parameter to 1.0 seconds again. If this
parameter is given too long, the car will waste time unnecessarily. If it is too short, the
motor will try to move before the brakes are fully released and this will be felt in the car as
a harsh startup.
06.2011 71 ADrive
20.5. Improving travel comfort
Travel comfort depends on 2 main factors:

1. Shape of the reference speed curve
2. Ability to follow the reference speed curve reliably without vibrations
To achive a good travel comfort, initially a smooth driving without vibrations should be ensured
and then the reference speed curve must be adjusted to give the desired travel.
ADrive uses a PI (proportional-integral) controller to drive the motor trying to follow a reference
speed curve. At any given time, the PI controller needs two gain coefficients (KP and KI) to
calculate the voltage and frequency to be supplied to the motor. The limit values for these
coefficients should be entered to ADrive in the “3-Controller setup” menu:
“3.1-KP zero speed”
“3.2-KI zero speed”
“3.3-KP full speed”
“3.4-KI full speed”
These zero speed and full speed values are the limit values for the KI and KP gain coefficients.
The actual gain coefficient to be used at any moment is calculated instantaneously by
interpolating these limits by the current speed of the motor.
To adjust these limit values, the following practical procedure may be applied:
a) Initially set these values:
“3.1-KP0” and “3.3-KP1” to 500

“3.2-KI0” and “3.4-KI1” to 10
“3.9-Encoder filter” to 2
b) By pressing the up button on ADrive keyboard, find the RPM Error Screen. Give a
command to the elevator and observe the rpm error while the car is accelerating and
decelerating. If the rpm error goes beyond 5%, increase the KI and KP gain coefficients.
As the gain coefficients are increased, the controller will respond more quickly to the
difference between the reference and actual speed values. But if the coefficients are
increased too much, the actual speed will start to oscillate around the reference speed, noise
and vibrations will be felt on the motor.
In practice, it is suitable to use 1/60th to 1/30th of KP values as the KI values. If the
controller behaves differently between slow and high speeds, it is possible to use separate
values or zero speed and high speed.
Warning:
While travelling in inspection or recall modes, if you release the pressed (up or down)
button, the safety circuit will be cut-off and the contactors will drop suddenly. This will
cause the car to stop immediately and sometimes will cause the driver to give “Motor
current too high” or “IPM error” trips. This behaviour is normal. When immediate stopping
is not needed, you can make the car stop smoothly. To do this, instead of releasing the
pressed button, press the other button (up or down) too. When both buttons are pressed, the
car will slow down and come to a stop. After the car has fully stopped, you can release both
buttons.
