2. The Controller Family

This section describes the control implemented by the UML-51r family with various call
regimen to call collection, group control policy, door control, timers, Ac-2 Speed, hydraulic
and Vvvf Elevator operation, firefighter control and special status functions.
Other part of this section describes the operational parameters of the ELV-5r Master board,
the UML-52 EX Extension board and the UML-52 EX-SP Special Port .
Most of the board features and functions are uniform over all elevator drive system types.
2.1 UML-51r Features and Control Parameters

Below mention there is description of the elevator operation policies and features, which are
supported by UML-51r installations.
The information provided below is representative only. Due to the programmable architecture
of the UML-5r Controller family, virtually any policy, standard, collection regimen or other
specification can usually be supported.
Call Collection
The UML-51r series supports all industry standard collection regimens, from the basic to full
collective. APB standard control with a priority to one car call, or collective car calls over one
hall call .for this application only the down landing calls are registered .
Down Collective .
In this regimen, the car ascends to the highest landing call, when running
down stops for any down hall calls .
Car calls in any direction of travel are always handled.
Full Collective Selective.

In this regimen, the car ascends in the direction of the highest landing call, stopping for any
Up calls ahead of the car, registered during its travel. Landing Down calls are registered but
will be handled when the car reverses direction. Car calls in the direction of travel are always
handled. The regimen is completely symmetrical for travel in the reverse direction.
Parked Car
A landing call registered at the level where the lift is parked causes the lift doors to open and
the car light to be activated. If the landing call button is depressed as the lift doors are closing,
this will normally cause the doors to reopen. An exception occurs under group control; if
another lift in the group is arriving as the doors of one car are closing, depressing the landing
call button will not re-open the doors.
Continuous pression of the landing pushbutton is interpreted, after an appropriate delay, as a
stuck pushbutton condition. The lift doors close and the car travels to the next station.

3 Inductor System
The UML-51r firmware Supports three inductors as standard system for all drives, up &
down direction slowdown and door zone range definition.
The three inductors together support precise door zone definition and give the pre-opening
& re-leveling direction.
Re-leveling can be effected with open or closed doors .(preopening and releveling not
available in AC-2 speed) The re-leveling supported in both directions.
All indicators such as digital displays, arrows, lanterns gongs, blind buzzer and lift is
here communicate via serial communication utilizing by regular (two wires) cable.
The Indicator digits are programmable via Leeav’s TST Portable Programmer.
Arrows, lanterns and/ or gongs can be chosen as the method to announce the arrival of the lift
in response to a hall call. Distinctive up going and down going gong chimes are supported.
Car Doors
All standard door types are supported: manual, semiautomatic, fully automatic, opposing
automatic and selective opposing automatic. the car door opens in the door zone only.
Firmware provides for reduced unnececery door opening and door motor wear with all
automatic door types. Limit switches are used to detect when the door has reached maximum
travel in the open direction, so as to cut power to the door motor. Likewise, door lock
detection causes motor shutoff in the close direction. When a lift is sent to the "home or zone"
landing, the car doors remain close.
Manual and Semiautomatic Doors

In this mode when the manual door contact closing , the door close timer is shortened ,
Photocell input is supported for the manual contacts.
Fully Automatic Doors

Photocell signaling supported only for automatic doors; the door close timer shortened when
the photocell triggered. "Nudging" is supported; i.e. after a preset period that the photocell is
continuously tripped, the doors close at reduced speed and will stop without opening when an
obstruction activates the safety edge. Pressing "door open" will cause the doors to open
during nudging. Activation of nudging is user programmable.
Opposing Non-Selective Automatic Doors

This door type requires only appropriate wiring and is the same as for standard automatic
doors.
Selective Opposing Automatic Doors

Under this door control regime, each door is operated independently: separate car and landing
call panels, door-open pushbuttons, safety edges and photocell/light beams are provided for
each door. Only the door/s, to the landing called side will open. The firmware supporting 8
opposing automatic doors this option is standard and programmed by the TST and by jp-10
on the ELV-5r card.

Timers
Timers are used throughout the UML-51r system for all main control parameters. These
include obstraction (car traveling time), car waiting time, door opening and closing times, idle
time to homing, zonning, stuck pushbutton and other abnormal conditions etc.
User Programmable Timers

Although some timers are preset by firmware encoding, most timers of interest are available
for user programming.
These can be programmed either with the TST, or via the LGCM Monitor system.
Safety Timers
Dedicated timers are provided for detection of any safety failure. Failure of the lift motors in
any state of travel, as well as failure of doors to close or open is detected, and timed out.
Safeties
Leeav's family of lift controllers employ triple safety redundancy in the main contactor circuit
for maximum safety of lift operation. The three safety levels are described as follows:
Main Safeties Circuit

These are normally closed contacts which are activated by various physical switches in
critical areas of lift operation; for example: car overtravel switches, door locks, emergency
and service switches etc. Those are connected in series between the power supply and the
main contactors; activation of any single switch in the series, cuts off power to the lift motor
and brake stops car travel.
Direct Firmware Control

The main contactors are operated by the microprocessor on the ELV-5r Master Board.
The firmware running in a real time, the microprocessor monitors a large number of system
conditions and considers a range of factors before the main contactors may be activated.
Firmware Monitoring of the Safety Circuit

In addition to system status and its own internal algorithm, firmware running on the
microprocessor also monitors the status of the safety contacts themselves, independently of
their direct electrical effect on the main contactors. By this means, firmware can prevent car
movement in an emergency, even where mechanical or electrical failure has neutralized the
effect of the safeties.
Terminal mechanical switches

2 Positive mechanical Limit switches and bottom landings are used at the top to insure
limiting of lift car travel.
2 separate mechanical switches (c21-c22) are provided at each end of the shaft.

More detail about Normal access limitation, slow down and positioning, can be found whithin
the UML-51r circuit diagram.
Standard operation safeties

In addition to the permanent safeties a range of safety switches will open and close in the
course of normal operation. These include door locks for shaft and car doors, safety edge, etc.
Miscellaneous switches
Full Car load & overload, motor thermal contact etc.
Fireman Control
Fire Control mode in the UML-51r family complies with EN-81 standards.
Fire Control mode is first activated by a key at the lobby landing (1s’t Phase)
A fireman then uses the lift in Fire Control mode by inserting a key inside the car.(2n’d
Phase)
The car Fire Control key is not recognized by the firmware unless the hall Fire Control key
has been activated.
In hall Fire Control mode, the following lift behavior applies:
• The lift is taken out of group control.
• Landing calls are ignored.
• If the lift was travelling away from the hall key landing when Fire Control
was activated, it stops at the nearest floor without opening doors.
In all cases, the lift homes to the hall key landing immediately.
• When stopped at any landing , the car doors remain closed. They may be
opened only by continuous depression of the Door Open pushbutton.
In the case of manual (wing) external doors, the car door opens at any landing.
• The photocell is ignored.
• The safety edge is active. However, doors do not open when the safety edge is
triggered; they remain in place. The door may be opened by continuous
depression of the Door Open pushbutton.
The lift always travels to the last station called from inside the car.
• If the key is removed from the car Fire Control at any landing, the lift is
locked in place until the key is reinserted.
Fire Control mode must be deactivated from the hall key landing. If the key is removed from
the car Fire Control switch while the car is not at the lobby landing, the firmware will
prevent the car from travelling in any direction, and a fault will be indicated on the
7 segment display. (see Section , "7-segment display" )
Inspection Control
This mode provides complete technicial control service of lift car movement, all calls are
cancelled, or, in group control, calls are transferred to other lifts in the group.
For safety, all car movement requires positive switch action; the car remains in place and will
travel up or down only while the Inspection .Inspection up plus common pushbutton will
move the car until c22 slowdown switch and will stop without slowdown.
Down pushbuttons plus common pushbutton will move the car until c21 will slowdown to the
floor.

A switch on the Master Board selects fast or slow travel speed for Inspection control mode.
all the digital displays will be shut down during inspection. (see Section, "Dip Switches",).
Loading Service Mode

Loading mode is typically used to provide service of loading in any floor, VIP room service
in hotels, to move freight where no special freight elevator is available or for special events
requiring dedicated lift service. this mode is an option and programmeble by the TST instead
attendand mode.
In Loading Control mode, the following lift behavior applies:
• The lift is taken out of group control.
• Landing calls are ignored, the door remain open, they may be close only
by continuous depression by only one car call.
Group Control
All UML-51r controller family supports group control of up to seven lifts. Leeav's algorithm
for group control is fully distributed and provides substantial flexibility for adaptation to
specific building conditions.
The following is specifically supported:
The main or "lobby" floor may be defined at any 8 lower landing in the building.
A "parked" condition may be defined for the group as a whole: when no calls have been
registered for a preset period (usually 20 seconds), one lift is stationed at the lobby floor and
others are distributed among all building floors to provide fastest possible service time.
Landing calls are registered by all lifts in the group, thus permitting any lift to be designated
as the server for any call.
Landing Up calls are registered separately from landing Down Calls, to ensure appropriate
service for each direction by different lifts in the group.
Master Boards of all lifts in the group are connected via shielded 2- wire cable chained
configuration. Information is distributed equally to all controllers,
thus permitting full and symmetrical distribution of service responsibility among all lifts in
the group.
Leeav's algorithm for determining how elevetors are dispatched to service calls is
accomplished by a firmware algorithm running on the Master Board's microcontroller.
The algorithm considers a large number of factors, thereby supporting fine tuning of service
to building traffic and use patterns.
The factors considered in the dispatch algorithm include the following:
Car Direction
A car travelling in the direction of a registered landing call will have preference to service
that call over a car travelling away from it.
Car Calls
A call registered inside the car to the same landing ,as a landing call, will have
preference to service that call over a car without such call.
Car Load
Full load and over load is standart feature in the card.
With the optional SPC-5 additional card, continuous analogue weight sensing from

(4-20ma) the car is supported. Firmware will dispatch a lightly loaded car to service a landing
call before it sends a heavily loaded car.
Main Floor
Firmware will dispatch cars that are distant from the main floor first. Priority is given
to maintaining at least one car in the region of the main floor (lobby), to support adequate
service times from the lobby.
Special Traffic Regimen

A different policy may be activated for traffic conditions that hold during specific periods of
the day. This regimen is characterized by the designation of a "heavy traffic area", usually a
landing other than the main floor, where traffic is expected to be heaviest.
Examples include a restaurant level at meal- times, swimming pool level during summer
months and a convention hall level during conference.
The heavy traffic regimen may be set to apply at preset times, or it can be activate
automatically by the firmware at arbitrary times - based on continuously monitored traffic
conditions. Group control under this regimen gives priority to providing maximum service to
and from the "heavy traffic area".

3. Electrical Characteristics
Connectors description of the ELV-5r master, UML-52EX extension , UML-52EX/SP
extension & SPC-5 cards .
3.1 ELV-5R
The ELV-5r Master Board has inputs for two primary power circuits:
9 volts AC are supplied to the board and rectified for the microprocessor.
18 volts DC are supplied to the board for powering peripheral devices such
as the optically isolated interfaces that drive the input terminals and general lift signaling
indicators.
Both voltages are fed to the board at the J9 connector for a total of 4 terminals .
There are 12 connectors to the ELV-5r; which are described in Table 1.

Table 1 ELV-5r Connectors

Connector Name Description
J1, Hi inputs. These signals provide the microprocessor with status

information such as the safeties, door open limit sw, inductors,
etc.
J2, Low inputs. These signals provide condition of inspection, fierfighter
keys,etc.
Combined J3,J4 Used for single wire call registration and indication. The line
8 Car/Hall Calls functions as an input to register a call, and subsequently
Input/output. functions as an output to set the call light indicator. Both
circuits are active low, i.e. connect to the Master Board on the
ground side of the circuit.
Active Low Outputs, Used to send commands to the lift, e.g. activate the main
J5 (ov-5) contactors for lift travel, set fast or slow speed, open/ close
doors, activate the car light, etc. Signals are connected to the
Master Board on the ground side of the circuit. These signals
may connected directly into the circuit to be activated, it does
not draw a current of greater than 400v/2 amps.
Active Low Outputs, used for: down / up direction arrows and nudging function.
J6
Serial J6a. Serial port By two shielded wires to communicate with other
Master Boards while supporting control group of multiple lifts.

Serial J6b. Serial port by two regular wire , used by the Master Board to
communicate with the indicators,arrows,lanterns,
gongs,”elevator here” and car blind signal.
Parallel Data Ports, Used to communicate between the Master and Extension
J10, J12,J13 boards. Also used to communicate data to the SPC-5 additional
card ,and TST.
3.2 UML-52EX
The UML-52EX Extension Board includes 16 I/O and double power circuit, requiring
18VDC and supplied via two terminals connectors .
The UML-52EX Extension Board has connections for 2 types of signals, as follows:
Table 2 UML-52 EX Connectors

Combined Used for single wire call registration and indication, typically
Input / Output, J3 for additional stations beyond the number supported by the
Master Board directly. This signal may also be used for any
circuit, which does not require isolation of input from output.
Both circuits are active low, i.e. connect to the Master Board on
the ground side of the circuit.
Combined Used for single wire call registration and indication, same as J3
Input / Output, J3A with the following detailes.
Parallel Data Port J1 Used to communicate with the Master Board via flat cable.
3.3 UML-52EX-SP
The UML-52EX-SP Extension Board is a variant of the basic UML-52EX board .
The main difference is that 8 I/O supports separate circuits for input
and output signals on the up part only.
The UML-52EX-SP Special Port Extension board is illustrated above. It differs from the
UML-52EX by the addition of connector J4A. The board supports additional inputs and
outputs to the microprocessor, beyond the basic signals provided by the main controller and
the hall/car signals of the standard extension board.
Power supply to the board is at connector J4, identical to the UML-52 EX.
The UML-52 EX-SP Extension Board has connections for 3 types of connectors, as follows:
Table 3 UML-52 EX-SP Connectors

Active Low Inputs, These signals provide status information such as calls to be
J4 registered, but may also be used for inputs, which must be
isolated from any output circuit. Connection to the Master Board
is on the ground side of the circuit.

Active Low Used to send commands to the lift. Examples of such commands
Outputs, J4A landing call buzzer activation in attendant mode. Signals are
connected to the board on the ground side of the circuit.
Parallel Data Port, Used to communicate with the Master Board via flat cable.
J1
3.4 The SPC-5

The SPC-5 additional card to the ELV-5r master board, supports drive motor speed, sensing
for closed loop systems with digital encoder Board logic. Providing continuous monitoring of
the signal to insure that proper speed control and elevator drive direction is being applied. In
addition, calculating the deceleration points, to insure that speed changes are taking place at
specified rates.
Full serial communication with the vvvf drive unit for calculating several speeds according to
the traveling distances, and or for optional failures of the drive unit.
Thresholds for acceptable rates of speeds are programmable, allowing the SPC-5 to support a
variety of application types, and safety standards, no need slow down inductors, just door
zone flags on the stations are required.
Serial communication for monitoring system LGCM ready.
Analogue car weighing device sensing (4-20ma) is supported .
Analog 0-10v speed driver output command for open and close loop systems.
4. Functional Description
In this subsection we describe the meaning of each of the signal connections to the Master
Board. For group control of multiple lifts, Master Boards are connected together by shilded 2-
wire serial communication link. Firmware running on the microprocessor handles all inter-
controller command and communication.
The digital displays are connected together by regular 2- wire by seperate serial
communication link.
System parameters, which you can set at installation, with DIP switches on the board, will be
described in this section.

Notes:
• The Drive system should be adjusted also by the TST programming tool after this step
the power should shutdown and power up again.
* Re-levelling supported only for hydraulic and vvvf by the firmware .
7-Segment Display On Card.

Two digits of seven segment display are provided on the ELV-5r Master Board, designated
DIS-2 and DIS-1. During normal operation this display shows the lift's current position as all
digital displays programmed.
Any abnormal event or malfunction is also indicated on this display: each segment indicates
a distinct event type when flashing. Multiple events or failures are therefore indicated
concurrently in real time.

As a general rule firmware in the ELV-5r will attempt to continue normal operation as far as
possible despite the occurrence of faults or malfunctions. The exception is safety related
malfunctions which always result in Emergency Stop or complete shutdown, as appropriate.
The following table gives the events and faults indicated on the 7-segment display. Refer also
to the appropriate Leeav circuit diagram.
TST-1

The UML-52 EX has two DIP Switches on the board, SW-3 and SW-4. Their functions are
given below.
SW-3
DIP positions 1-4 specify the Address on the lower part of the extention card.
SW-4
DIP positions 1-4 specify the Address on the upper part of the extention card.
LED indicators
The UML-52EX has LED indicators for each of the input connections I1-I8. When lit, they
indicate that the corresponding call has been registered and the indicator lamp activated.
4.3 The UML-52 EX-SP Special Port Extension Board

The special port extension board UML-52 EX-SP is provided for additional signals where
additional inputs and outputs are required. These are connected to the connectors J4 and J4a,
as described below. In all other respects, the UML-52 EX-SP is identical to the UML-52 EX.

4.4 Group Control Configuration

A group connection with UML-5r Controllers into a group configuration is entirely
straightforward.
It consists essentially of providing common landing call lines for corresponding floors
throughout the controllers of the group. This provides the microprocessor with the necessary
call information; all group dispatching decisions and execution of those decisions is
implemented by the firmware and requires no special inter-panel connections.
The following lines must be connected in common for group control.
Input I1 on the UML-52 EX-SP Board - This input reports emergency generator status to
the controllers.
Input I3 on the Master Board - Hall Firefighter inputs signal.
General (18VT) supply - provides power for all landing call and signaling circuits.
Landing Calls Up and Landing Calls Down –a common Landing calls of the same type
(Up or Down) for a given floor, are connected together across all elevator controllers of the
same group.
Group terminals- SRI cable terminals to the SRI board connectors and SRO cable terminals
to the SRO board connectors.

Care must be taken to insure that only calls for the same floor and of the same type are
connected to a common line. Improper connection of common call lines will result in
incorrect lift operation.
3Amps Diodes have been inserted for each control panel at the 18V to the 18VT for supply
only for hall call terminals.
Shaft peripheral as digital displays,arrows,lanterns, operated from18V. Only the common
hall calls and call registered connecting to 18VT terminal .
5. Group Control Verification

When multiple controllers are connected in Group Control Mode, the firmware running on the
individual controllers must cooperate effectively.
Use the checklist below to insure correct operation in Group Control mode. Incorrect lift
behavior in Group Control Mode is almost always due to error or failure in one or more of the
items listed below.
1. Insure that all serial communications cable terminals are properly

connected: SRI cable terminals to the SRI board connectors and SRO
cable terminals to the SRO board connectors.
2. Check that all call connections are parallel, that is, go to identical pins
on all controllers.
3. Check that connection to ground at G (third terminal from right on

connector) is secure on all boards.
4. Insure that the "o16" LED flashes continuously, and with a fixed
frequency.
5. Terminals 18VT and G must be connected between all controller

boards participating in the group. Insure that there are no crossed
connections or other errors.
6. Check that a diode is connected between terminals 18V and 18VT on

all boards in the group. The diode's cathode side must be connected to
18VT. Current supply only to call registration is taken after the diode.
7. Insure that all lifts in the group are assigned different lift numbers.
Designation of the lift number is accomplished with switches 6-7-8 on
DIP switch SW-1 located on the ELV-5r board. Set the DIP switch with
power off and then power on.
8. Using a TST Portable Event Logger and Programmer, check the

following:

i) Insure that all boards in the group are running the identical software
version and the group type assigned the number of lifts in group.
ii) In the "Control set" screen of the TST check that all controllers in the
group are using the same collection regimen.
iii) Check that all controllers have "Homing Travel" set off and "Zones
Travel Active" set on.
iv) All lifts must have the same landing designated as "Lobby".
This completes the Group Control Verification procedure.
The next section considers malfunctions and their possible causes.
6. Troubleshooting
In this section we consider the possibility that a lift does not exhibit the expected behavior
during one or more steps of the above verification procedure.
The information in this section is also relevant to general troubleshooting, when malfunctions
are encountered in the course of regular lift use.
The most common problem to be encountered during verification is that the lift fails to travel.
Failure of lift travel may be caused by many different failure and for this reason, the ELV-5r
Master Controller board incorporates a real time display of 16 different failure types.
These are shown on the individual segments of two LED 7-segment digits and any number of
such faults are indicated by the display simultaneously when the corresponding segments are
flashing.
Section 5.1 considers possible malfunctions where no faults are indicated on the 7-segment
display.
More commonly, when the lift fails to travel one or more faults will be indicated.
In general, electronic systems give little concrete indication of their functioning.
For successful troubleshooting, it is important that the technician extract as much information
as possible from the available indicators.
These include all LEDs on the Master and Extension boards, which should be observed both
statically and as they change with lift travel (if lift travel is possible).
The closing and opening of main contactors should also be physically observed.
The TST Portable Event Logger and Programmer is a must aid in locating a fault and basic
tool for programming. Below are listed some of the specific failure, and the way to handle it
using the TST.
TST Portable Event Logger And Programmer

The TST is dramatically increase the amount of information available to the technician
attempting to locate a fault. (see additional information about the TST).

6.1 Troubleshooting .
Elevator fails in Check voltages at Master Controller board power
Inspection Mode connections, inputs and outputs. Incorrect or absent
voltages may be due to burned fuses, tripped breakers or
connectors that are not properly seated.
1) A flashing "watchdog" LED
2) Other LED's on the board.Vcc,Vdd.
3) After system reset the two "d.p" segments (decimal
points) on the 7- segment display should light without
flashing.
They should remain that way until the control obtains a
count reset by lift travel to HI3 (c21) or HI4 (c22).
4)Check for safety circuit voltage (60-110V) at HI5 (C19).
If absent, check carefully for a break somewhere along
the chain of safeties.
5)Check for the same voltage at HI8 (C7). If absent, make
sure that door locks are closing property.
6)Check that the controller is recognizing your Inspection
Mode call and/or direction pushbutton signals by checking
the voltage across I9/I10 (1C/2C) .
Elevator travels in in this mode the 7-segment display demostrating
Inspection Mode but Fail failures.
to Travel in Normal Mode. 1)Check flat cables and connectors between Master and
extension boards.
2)Check the photocell and safety edge.
3)Check the c21 and c22.
4)Check if c7 is open.
Elevator Fails to Count This problem is generally related to inductor I3
Landings Correctly functioning .
Check the proximity of flags to inductors. Inductors are of
many different types and each must be adjusted according
to manufacturer specifications.
Note that an inductor may signal correctly in Inspection
Mode due to the slow speed of that mode, but fails to work
properly at normal drive speed, if it is positioned or
adjusted at the borderline of specification tolerances.
Check the logic of inductor connections.
Check that inductors have been wired correctly and have
been properly connected to the controller.
Troubleshooting where a In this section we consider each of the malfunction types
Fault is Indicated in turn, and provide pointers to locating the source of the
fault.There are 16 faults indicated by flashing segments on
one of the two 7-segment displays located on the Main
Controller board ELV-5.
See Section "7-segment display".
Note for Vf Systems: The relay RFL is used as safety
check for all fault types which cause an Emergency Stop
condition.

Thus, the microcontroller responds to a safety failure by

opening main contactors, but in addition will denergize the
relay RFL as a redundant safety measure.
RFL is connected in series with the safety chain and when
denergized, will cut off power to the main contactors.
RFL can also be used to report fault conditions to a third
party device.
A typical use is to report malfunction to the drive unit,
where such an input is supported.
