Dan lift technology PLC Page 2


Arab Minch university 2017/1018

 Create conducive work environment.

1.4 Main products and services of the company

Dan lift technology plc is producing and supplying lifts by using three types of lift motor
products to local markets. There are three types of motor used for lift product i.e.
depending on that the type of motor used .These motors are:- geared, gearless and
hydraulic motors.

The main products of the company are

Lift (Elevator)

Dan Lift Technology Plc intends to manufacture and assemble the measure parts of the
lift such as:
 Car , car frame and car frame accessories
 Door panels and door frames
 Landing door mechanisms
 Counter weight frame and filter
 Controller and controller box
 Brackets and motor seats
Elevator or lift is a vertical transportation system (vertical vehicle) that efficiently
moves people or goods between floors of a building. They are generally powered by
electric motors that either drive traction cables and counter weight system or pump
hydraulic fluid to raise a cylindrical piston
 Company giving two types lift service for customers
Traction elevators

According to electric motor they are traction motors are also classified in to two parts
which are Geared and gearless traction elevators.
Geared traction elevators are driven by AC or DC electric motors. Geared machines are
use warm gears to control mechanical movement of elevator cars by rolling steel hoist
ropes over a drive sheave which is attached to a gearbox driven by a high speed motor.

Dan lift technology PLC Page 3


Arab Minch university 2017/1018

These machines are generally the best options for basement or overhead traction use for
speeds up to 2.5 m/s
Gearless traction elevators use low speed, high torque electric motors powered by either
AC or DC supply. In these case the drive sheaves is directly attached to the end of the
motor. Gearless traction elevators can reach speeds up to 10 m/s or even higher. A brake
is mounted between the motor and drive sheaves to hold the elevator stationary at floor
level. This brake is usually an external drum type and actuated by spring force and hold
open electrically a power failure will cause the brake to engage and prevent the elevator
from falling.
Hydraulic elevator

A hydraulic elevator system lifts a car using a hydraulic ram, a fluid driven piston
mounted inside a cylinder. The fluid is connected to a fluid pumping system (typically,
hydraulic system uses oil, but other incompressible fluid would also work). The hydraulic
system has three parts
 A tank (the fluid reservoir)
 A pump, powered by an electric motor
 A valve between the cylinder and the reservoir.
The pump forces fluid from the tank into a pipe leading to the cylinder. When the valve is
opened, the pressurized fluid will take the path of least resistance and return to the fluid
reservoir, but when the valve is closed, it pushes the piston up, lifting the elevator car.
When the car approaches the correct floor, the control system sends a signal to the
electric motor to gradually shut off the pump. With the pump off there is no more fluid
flowing into the cylinder but the fluid that is already. In the cylinder cannot escape (it
can’t flow backward through the pump, and the valve is still closed). The piston resets on
the fluid and the car stays where it is.
To lower the car, the elevator control system sends a signal to the valve. The valve is
operated electrically by a base solenoid switch. When the solenoid opens the valve, the
fluid that has reserved in the cylinder can flow out in to the fluid reservoir. The weight of
the car and the cargo pushes down on the piston, which drives the fluid into the reservoir.

Dan lift technology PLC Page 4


Arab Minch university 2017/1018

The car gradually descends. To stop the car at a lower floor, the control system closes the
valve again.
1.5 Use of elevator
 Passenger Elevator
A passenger elevator is designed to move people between building floors. It is also
very helpful for handicaps that use wheelchairs, for blind peoples and for older
peoples who can walk hardly. It is very important in hospitals to move patients from
floor to floor.
 Freight Elevator
A freight elevator, or goods lift, is an elevator designed to carry goods, rather than
passengers, freight elevators are typically larger and capable of carrying heavier
loads than a passenger elevator; generally from 2,300 to 4,500Kg. Freight elevators
may have manually operated doors.
 Vehicle Elevator
Vehicle elevators are used with in buildings with limited space (in lieu of ramps) to
move cars into the parking garage. Geared hydraulic chains (not unlike bicycle
chains) generate lift for the platform and there is no counterweight.
 Boat Elevator
In some smaller canals, boat and small ships can pass between different levels of a
canal with a boat lift rather than through a canal lock.
 Aircraft Elevator
On aircraft carriers, elevators carry aircraft between the flight deck and the hanger
deck for operations or repairs. These elevators are designed for much greater
capacity than any other elevator ever built, up to 20,000 pounds (90 tones) of
aircraft and equipment.
 Dumbwaiter
Dumbwaiters are small freight elevators that are intended to carry food rather than
passengers. They often link kitchens with rooms on other floors.
1.5.1 Power supply
 Check the power connections before powering up the controller.
 The motor cables must be at least 0.5 m (20 in.) long.

Dan lift technology PLC Page 5


Arab Minch university 2017/1018

 Ensure maximum separation between the power cable (line supply) and the motor
cable.
 Ensure the reading of main supply voltage is similar to rating for the lift.
 Applying input line voltage to the output terminals (U/T1, V/T2, and W/T3) will
damage the ATV71.
1.5.2 Ground and neutral
Ground equipment using the ground connecting point provided as illustrated. The drive
panel must be properly grounded before power is applied.
Check whether the resistance to the protective ground is one ohm or less.

Grounds between drive, motor and cable shielding must have "high frequency"
equipotentiality.

1.6 End users of company’s products or services

The company has many customers from public, private and non-governmental
organizations (NGO).
The public customers are hospitals (e.g Tikur anbesa, Yordanos Hospital), Federal
Ministry of Health, Ethiopia Map Authorities, Gehon Hotel, Ethiopia telecommunication
corporation and so on.

Some of the private customers are Friendship building, Yirga Haile building, Kurtu
international and etc.

And from NGO Sunshine head office, Real estate and so on.

CHAPTER TWO

2. MATERIALS AND METDOLOGIES

2.1 Assignments and responsibilities that I have taken in internship

During the four months working period as an Intern in Dan lift technology plc. I had the
opportunity to observe in each and every department of the organization. As soon as I
joined the company for my internship, a schedule of the internship program was given to
me, which consisted of the working schedule along with the maintenance departments in
which I would be working. The management of the company believes that an intern
should work in all the departments rather than concentrating on only a specific
department because, the main goal behind an internship is learning and that can be
achieved greatly by having an exposure of all the departments together. It is also because
it gives an intern a broader perspective of how an organization really works all together.
However, as my main field of study and interest lies in Electrical and Computer
Engineering stream of Industrial control and Instrumentation, the company has thus given
me an opportunity to work in maintenance, installation, production department of Dan lift
technology plc.

The section I have been working on and work flow in each section

I have been working on almost all of the company’s section, since electricity has a wide
application in everywhere of the company. The sections that I have been working on are;

 Maintenance
 Installation
 Production
For the first two week of my intern I looked on the maintenance of lifts in Dan lift
technology plc. And I got knowledge how the lifts maintained. After the maintenance
time for two weeks I was working in installation and I knew how lift installation is.
Finally I work in production department in the production of main controller and
emergence board and I got knowledge how to produce main controller and emergence
board.

Dan lift technology PLC Page 9


Arab Minch university 2017/1018

2.1.1 Task one production of Main Controller

Elevator controller is the main (brain) of the elevator system so that elevator controller
must be manufactured and installed very carefully and with full attention because its risk
is very high and fatal
It’s the system responsible for coordinating all aspects of elevator service such as travel,
speed, and accelerating, decelerating, door opening speed and delay, levelling and hall
lantern signals.
It accepts inputs button signals and produces outputs elevator car moving, door opening,
etc.
The main objectives of the elevator control system are:
 To bring the lift car to the correct floor.
 To minimize travel time.
 To maximize passenger comfort by providing a smooth ride
 To accelerate decelerate and travel within safe speed limits

Figure 3 main controller of elevator

Dan lift technology PLC Page 10


Arab Minch university 2017/1018

Elevator controller has different parts

 BG15 card
 Motor Drive
 Transformer (step down)
 Rectifiers
 Relays
 Contactors and
 fuse

BG 15 Card
This card is the most important part of the controller which analyse and performs all the
input data and the output commands. BG 15 card is microprocessor based controller
which helps to control
 Safety chains
 Lift movement and thermal states using the motor drive
 Controls relays and contactors
 Controls the doors
 Controls landing calls and car calls
 Controls photo cell
 Controls position indicator
 Direction of the elevator
 Fire man services

Dan lift technology PLC Page 11


Arab Minch university 2017/1018

Fig 4 BG15 card

Input of BG15 card

There are input terminals that give feedback and requests to BG 15 to perform all the
tasks.

KT2

 The operating voltage BG15 card is 19 VDC supplier terminal but its output
Voltage for the control purpose is 24VDC which is distributed through different
terminals There is also 110VAC input supplier through K30 terminal this is not
the operating voltage for BG15 card rather used for extra controlling purpose for
the devices Which need 110 VAC rather than 24VDC. It is used for safety chain
purpose and also used for the operating voltage for MONTE, DESENTE, PV and
GV relays coil through the output terminals K28 and K29.

Dan lift technology PLC Page 12


Arab Minch university 2017/1018

KC22

 The other input to BG 15 card is the one that comes through terminal KC22 from
Tap head which floor to go and which floor to stop and also helps to change the
speed accordingly i.e. high speed and low speed.
 The operating voltage for Tap head is 24VDC, it gets this operating voltage
through the same terminal i.e. KC22 and it gives input through its CAA and CAB
terminal.
KM11

 Another input comes from the motor though KM11, which is the temperature of the
motor. This protects the motor from damaging because BG 15 after receiving a signal
from the motor thermostat it will announce an error and stops from giving any
command, this will stop the motor from moving.
KC23

 To control the lift manually we have to announce the controller (BG 15) that the
elevator is in inspection/maintenance mode so we give this input through KC23
terminal.
KP26

 The purpose of tap head is to help the elevator know where it is. But in addition to
this there is a method that the elevator knows it reached the end floor. This is done by
placing Extreme down (ED) limit switch at the bottom floor and this input is
delivered to BG 15 through KP26 terminal. This input to the BG 15 is very important
because sometimes tape head may not work properly or the flag that the tape head
may not be placed at their exact places the placement of ED switch is necessary.
KA13

 The controller especially BG 15 must know the status or feedback of fermator and
also communicate with the elevator door operation i.e. when the door is opened or
closed if the end limit is reached, if the photocell is interrupted, if any alarm calls are
made etc. this kind of inputs are supplied to the BG 15 through terminal KA 13.

Dan lift technology PLC Page 13


Arab Minch university 2017/1018

KC21

 Inside the cabin a passenger gives call to the elevator to go to some floor and before
action the controller receives the message and checks safety lines if they are complete
it will register the command and give command to the motor drive and starts to move.
The passenger calls are entered to the BG 15 through the terminal KC21.
KP21

 In the same way passenger outside the cabin gives down call signals to the elevator
and this call is taken in to BG 15 through terminal KP21 if it is a down call and
processed in BG 15 if the car is going down it will serve the passenger but if the
elevator is going to the up direction it will hold the call until it comes back.
KP27

 If the call from outside the cabin is an up call, it will be inserted to the BG 15 through
the terminal KP27.
KP34

 The other input comes from KP34 terminal; the use of this terminal is to receive
message from the smoke and/or heat detectors in each floor if fire exists and there is,
BG 15 card takes this message and performs different actions as per the program. The
program may be to stop the elevator completely or to take the elevator to another
floor, etc.
KC28
 BG 15 also controls the carrying capacity of the elevator, for example if the carrying
capacity of the elevator is 6 passenger i.e. around 480kg and if the total weight of the
passengers is the same as 480kg then BG 15 will automatically reject landing calls
and takes the passengers. But if the weight of the passengers is greater than 480 kg
then BG 15 card will give a command to stop the elevator from moving and
announces the carrying capacity of the elevator is excited. This all data from the
weight sensor is entered to BG 15 card through KC 28 terminal.
 If we want the elevator to be out of service for other users i.e. if we need the elevator
for special gust we can make the elevator out of service for other passengers using the

Dan lift technology PLC Page 14


Arab Minch university 2017/1018

key inside the car or from outside the car at first floor. This is possible by sending the
data to BG 15 through terminal KC 28.
KP22

 KP22 terminal is used to supply 0V voltage to over load, full load and out service
keys because they get 24VDC from KC28 and it is obvious that they should get 0V to
work properly.
K62

 In DAN elevator controller there is a phase sequence relay which controls phase loss,
phase reverse, over voltage and under voltage conditions. If any one of them from
above listed things occurs phase sequence relay will deactivate itself. BG 15 card uses
this feedback coming through terminal K62 to terminate every action performed
because those problems listed are very hazards to the equipment’s including the
motor drive, and also analysis’s the operating conditions or status of the Monte,
Decent, PV and G relays ordered by the BG15.
Output of BG15 cards
The out puts of BG 15 card to perform different tasks.
KC24
 Bg15 card has an output to alarm buzzer which is 24 VDC and 0v, it gives this out
put through terminal KC24. The control voltage which is distributed to different parts
is 24 VDC.
KP24
 Position indicators get their operating voltage which is 24 VDC and CREP signal
from this terminal of BG15 card.
KC29
 This terminal gives operating voltage to car calls; we have discussed where the car
calls came to BG15 card.
KP29
 This terminal of the card is an output supply to landing calls i.e. 24 VDC

Dan lift technology PLC Page 15


Arab Minch university 2017/1018

K23
 From the input terminals BG15 card decides many important things including the
direction of the elevator. We know the direction of the elevator from the position
indicator whether it is going up or down, position indicator gets this information from
this terminal.
KA14
 Door open and door close commands comes from BG15 card i.e. terminal KA14 and
goes to FERMATOR and the fermator in the other end gives command and operating
voltage to the door motor.
K29
 Any elevator should go forward and back ward in low or high speed. To manage
these things accordingly an intelligent system is necessary. BG 15 card is an
intelligent controlling system which can manage the above things by receiving
different calls and commands through input terminals and gives out output signal to
the motor and drive. These commands in Dan elevator system are MONTE,
DESENTE, PV and GV which are send through terminal k28 and k29.
K30

 In an elevator system the main thing that should be given emphasis is the safely
system of the elevator because if in any point the safety chain is not complete and the
elevator starts moving then the consequence will be very fatal. So, BG15 card
controls every safety chain starting from speed governor, buffer, stop switch, up and
down limit switches, stop switch [inspection box], cabin door, landing doors through
terminal k. on BG15 card we can see which safety line is disconnected by visually
watching 6,8,10 LEDs.
 If the 6th LED is not lit then safety line between speed governor, buffer, stop switch,
up and down limit switches and stop switch [inspection box] is not complete so that
must be checked.
 If the 8th LED is not lit then the door of the elevator is not closed so if the elevator has
to move the door must be closed.

Dan lift technology PLC Page 16


Arab Minch university 2017/1018

 If the 10th LED is not lit, one or more than one of the landing doors are opened so it
must be closed.
ATV 71 MOTOR DRIVE

INTRODUTION TO ATV71 DRIVE

Motor drive is very important part of the elevator controller. It is mostly known as an
INVERTER, which is also called VVVF [variable voltage frequency] because voltage is
inversely proportion to frequency i.e. it controls the speed by changing voltage and
frequency at the same time.

Motor drive is the one which controls the speed of the motor accordingly. Most of the
time the speed of the motor is given on the name plate and the motor runs at that speed
but the

Speed which is given on the name plate is very high and difficult to use for elevator
system. Motor drives resolve this problem and help to manage the speed as we like using
binary inputs.

Fig 5 motor derive

INPUT OF ATV71 MOTOR DRIVE

The section is main input supply to motor drive is 380 VAC, three phases, 50 Hz i.e. R,
S, T. But in emergency (when power failure occurs) motor drives operates in 220Vac

single phase voltage and the second output section is control input section which receives
a command signal from a BG15.

OUTPUT OF ATV71 DRIVE

The main output of motor drive goes in to sections

The first one is power output section which gives three phase 380Vac voltage to the
motor U, V, W terminals. And there is also a brake resistor output terminals (PA+, PB)
which helps for electrical braking system.

The second section is control output section’s which a programmable relay are and those
terminals are R1A, R1B and R1C and the other relay output terminal is R2A and R2C.

TRANSFORMER

As it is known there are three types of transformer according to the jobs they execute.

Dan lift technology PLC Page 18


Arab Minch university 2017/1018

 Step up transformer
 Step down transformer
 Impendence matching transformer

The company uses in controller the step down transformer.

The main objective of step down transformer in controller is to step down the voltages.

It accepts380 VAC three phase input and it gives 110VAC single phase for safety chain,
60 VAC single phase to rectifier i.e. For motor break and 19VAC single phase for BG 15
card but first it has to pass through rectifier and converted to DC voltage output.

Figure 7 step down transformer

RECTIFIER

In general rectifier is the one that converts AC voltage in to DC voltage.

There are different types of rectifiers, for example, half wave rectifier, full wave
rectifier, bridge rectifier etc.

Dan lift technology PLC Page 19


Arab Minch university 2017/1018

In company they use bridge rectifier to change AC voltage into DC voltage which comes
direct from the transformer.

Fig8 ckt of bridge rectifier

The objective of rectifier in controller

The operating voltage of BG 15 card in 19VDC but the output voltage of the transformer
is 19VAC so it must be rectified so this work is done by the rectifier.

The operating voltage of motor break is 60VDC but the output voltage of the transformer
is 60VAC this is also rectified using the rectifier.

RELAY

In Dan elevator controller there are more than 7 relays with different purposes. For
geared (induction) motor the following relays are necessary.

 Phase sequence relay: - this relay is used to control phase sequence, phase
reverse, over voltage and under voltage. If one of the above listed problems occur
phase sequence relay will be deactivated and sends message to BG 15 card through
its normally open contact.
 Monte relay: - this relay accepts it operating voltage from BG 15 card (A1) and
safety chain (A2) to operate properly. The use of this relay is it sends signal to the
drive to go upward (forward) through its contact points.
 Descente relay: - This relay accepts its operating voltage from BG 15 card (A1)
and safety chain (A2) to operate properly. The use of this relay is it sends signal to
the drive to go sown (reverse) through its contact points.

Dan lift technology PLC Page 20


Arab Minch university 2017/1018

 PV relay: - this relay accepts its operating voltage from BG 15 card (A1) and
safety chin (A2) to operate properly. The use of this relay is it sends signal to the
drive to go in high speed through its contact points.
 GV relay: - this relay accepts its operating voltage from BG 15 card (A1) and
safety chain (A2) to operate properly. The use of this relay is it sends signal to the
drive to go in low sped through its contact points.
 Up direction relay: - this relay accepts its operating voltage (24VDC) from BG 15
card and sends message to all position indicators found in all floors that the lift is
going in upward direction.
 Down direction relay: - this relay accepts its operating voltage (24VDC) from BG
15 card and sends message to all position indicators found in all floors that the lift
is going in upward direction.

For Gearless Motor the following relays are added on the above ones

 Enable relay: - this relay is used only in gearless motors because the drive used is
different from the one which is used for the other controllers. The motor drive
needs enable signal to start working properly. This relay gets its coil voltage from
the safety chain i.e. 110VAC. When it is energized its sends the enable signal
through its contact points.
 Main contactor controlling relay: - this relay is an important relay in gearless
motor, elevator controller, which helps the motor drive to control the time delay of
the input supply of the motor through the main contactor i.e. it controls the main
contactor when to be energized and de – energized.

Dan lift technology PLC Page 21


Arab Minch university 2017/1018

Fig9 relay

CONTACTOR

In DAN elevator controller there are around two contactors used but when emergency
system is added the number of contactors increases.

 Main contactor (KS):- the main purpose of this contactor is the main supply to
the motor passes through the contact of KS contactor.
 Break contactor (KER):- this contactor is directly controlled by the motor drive
out put relay contact. The supply voltage comes from the safety chain passes
through motor drive internal relay contact and reaches A2. The purpose of this
contactor is that the supply voltage to the motor break i.e. 60VDC which comes
from the rectifier passes through this contactor.
 Emergency contactor (KA):- the main purpose of emergency contactor is to
separate the safety chain voltage during emergency and with line voltage. The
voltage that comes through safety chain during line voltage is 110VAC but in
emergency time the voltage that comes through the safety chain is 220VAC, so
these two different voltages must be separated if in case line voltage comes during
emergency period.

Dan lift technology PLC Page 22


Arab Minch university 2017/1018

Fig 10 contactor

 Main contactor (KS):- the main purpose of this contactor is the main supply to the
motor passes through the contact of KS contactor.
 Break contactor (KER):- this contactor is directly controlled by the motor drive out
put relay contact. The supply voltage comes from the safety chain passes through
motor drive internal relay contact and reaches A2. The purpose of this contactor is
that the supply voltage to the motor break i.e. 60VDC which comes from the rectifier
passes through this contactor.
 Emergency contactor (KA):- the main purpose of emergency contactor is to separate
the safety chain voltage during emergency and with line voltage. The voltage that
comes through safety chain during line voltage is 110VAC but in emergency time the
voltage that comes through the safety chain is 220VAC, so these two different
voltages must be separated if in case line voltage comes during emergency period.

Fuses
Fuse is protective device it is nothing more than a Short length of wire design to melt and
separate in the event of excessive current. Fuse are always connected in series with the
component(s) to be protected from overcurrent, so that when the fuse is blows(opens) it
will open the entire circuit and stop current the components. A fuse connected in one

Dan lift technology PLC Page 23


Arab Minch university 2017/1018

branch of a parallel circuit, of course, would not affect current through any of the other
branches.
In this controller they use seven fuses the first three fuses are used to three phase supply
the forth fuse is used to the transformer that supply to card the fifth fuse are used to motor
break the six fuse are used to shaft power supply the seven fuse are used to emergency
supply and the seven fuse are used to fermator supply.

Figure 11 fuses

Emergency Evacuation Devices

In this room they build Emergency Controller circuit this circuit used to uninterruptable
Power supply, also uninterruptable power source it also has UPS or battery Flywheel
backup, it is an electrical apparatus that provides emergency power to a load when the
input power source or main power fails. A UPS differs from an auxiliary or emergency
power system or stand by generator in that in will provide near-instantaneous protection
from input power interruptions, by supplying energy stored in batteries, super capacitors,
or flywheels. The on- battery runtime of most uninterruptible power sources is relatively

Dan lift technology PLC Page 24


Arab Minch university 2017/1018

short (only a few minutes) but sufficient to start a standby power source or properly shut
down the protected equipment.

Fig 12 ups (battery used for emergence)

Technical Descriptions

Fig 13 Technical Description

This UPS is multi-modal system, i.e. it can work as off-line (standby) source or as on-line
(direct on) source. But in our case since the system in their phase and the ups in single

Dan lift technology PLC Page 25


Arab Minch university 2017/1018

phase we use it as STANDNY power supply. This means it stays charging the battery
until power is interrupted and called up on by power switching contactors.

2.1.2. Task two emergence board

Fig 14 emergence board

Emergency evacuation device is used to move the lift in case of main power failure
there is separate panel mode for this purpose and fitted in the main control panel cabinet.

The panels have three main contactors, namely KA1, KA2 and K1, KA1 and KA2 work
in normal mode (when main power is on) and k1 works when main power is gone.

The emergency device gets position information by magnet sensor when the magnet
sensor closes the lift stop and the cabin door is opened. (Letting the people get out).

The cabin does not move further after reaching the nearest floor until the main power is
come.

Emergency evacuation device employee’s automatic rechargeable device ups as a power


source. This device charges its own 48V battery when the power is present and works as
power source (220 ac) during the power is gone.

2.1.3 Task three lift installation and motor tuning

Lift safety device installation

During my internship program I have doing lift safety device installation, shaft wire and
traveling cable distribution.

They have many safety devices in one lift system such safety devices can prevent the
passengers from any trouble. Those devices can interrupt the unnecessary lift travel in
both electrical and mechanical way.

Dan lift technology PLC Page 27


Arab Minch university 2017/1018

Fig 15 safety devices

1. Speed governor: - one of the devices used in elevator safety chain, they use the
normally close contact of the switch for electrically control circuit. Its principle of
operation is when the lift travel beyond its nominal speed, the mechanical coupled
device that is the speed governor will trip the switch means will open the
electrical safety circuit.

Fig16 speed governor


2. Top limit switch: - is a normally close limit switch it used when lift travels
towards upward and missed the top floor it will immediately open the safety line.

Dan lift technology PLC Page 28


Arab Minch university 2017/1018

Fig17 top limit switch

3. Bottom limit switch: - is a normally close limit switch it used when lift travels
towards downward and missed the bottom floor it will immediately open the
safety line.
4. Car oil buffer: - is one of our safety devices it is hydraulic type filled oil in the
cylindered will resisted up to 500 tones, when car sit on the buffer the switch will
open and the lift will stop.
5. Pit stop: - is a manually stop switch it used during a maintenance and servicing,
especially in the pit.
6. Inspection stop: - is a manually pressed stop switch it is used during a
maintenance, servicing, adjustment etc.

Fig 18 inspection stop (inspection box)

7. Car door contact: - is a normally open contact when the door is open but it will
be close when the door is closed

Dan lift technology PLC Page 29


Arab Minch university 2017/1018

8. Landing door contact: - is the same to the car door contact but the only
difference
Depends on the number of floor all the landing door contacts connect in series.
Other lift components
Door operator
The car and landing doors shall be fully automatic, two or more panels center or
side opening sliding doors.
The car door operator shall be operated by VVVF motor and VVVF control card
and arranged for harmonic motion

Figure 19 door operator

 VVVF Fermator control card


This control card supplies 220vac operating voltage and it has a three phase
230Vac for the door motor, by receiving a feedback signal from the motor encoder.
In order to drive the door motor either forward or reverse the fermator control card
needs an input command signals from the main control card (BG15) those
command signals are door open and door close command signals. The output of the
fermator card are relay contact inside the card which gives a feedback signal to the
BG15 card, this signals are door open end limit switch, door close end limit switch,
photocell and obstruction.
 Fermator door motor
Is a simple asynchronous three phase 220Vac motor; it is a variable speed motor.

Dan lift technology PLC Page 30


Arab Minch university 2017/1018

External Control
Elevators are typically controlled from the outside by a call box, which has up and down
buttons, at each stop. When pressed at a certain floor, the button calls the elevator to pick
up more passengers. If the particular elevator is currently serving traffic in a certain
direction, it will only answer calls in the same direction unless there are no more calls
beyond that floor.

Figure 20 external control

Photo Cell

Photo cells are a Non-Contact Sensor, Type B1. They can be used to protect entrapment
areas, when gate is moving open or closed.

The term Photocell (Photo-Beam, photo-eye) is a generic term that can apply to both
Retro- Reflective and Thru-Beam type devices. You will need to be very familiar with
the pros and cons of each type.

Proximity switch

Proximity switch’s are sensors which is used to detect where is the lift is located during
power loses or during emergence time.

Dan lift technology PLC Page 31


Arab Minch university 2017/1018

Fig 21 proximity switch

Taped and flag

Taped and flag are used to detect where the lift to go and to stop and it also used to the
lift to go in low and high speed.

Fig22 taped and flag

Motor Tuning

When I had been In Dan lift technology, I actively participated in motor tuning.

Dan lift technology PLC Page 32


Arab Minch university 2017/1018

Tuning is the process of introducing motors with drive system or parameters


configuration on name plate of motors with drive like pole, frequency, speed, voltage and
current.

There are two main types of motor that they use in their lift installation. These are geared
and gearless motors. But now days they are focusing more on gearless due to its
technological advancement and other advantages.

Figure 23 motor

The main differences are stated as follows

Induction(asynchronous) Synchronous

high efficiency Very High efficiency

Lagging power factor We can choose lagging, unity or leading power


factor

Slower than stator field rotation Same speed as stator field rotation

Speed variation with load Fixed speed

Magnetization by induction DC or Permanent magnet

2.2 Assignment Ones

My supervisor gave for me assignment to doing hardware builder for position indicator
and checking its continuity by giving supply 24V dc either each floor indicator properly
work or not before sent site.

Position Indicators

This floor indicator used to show the destiny of elevator mostly it is use common anode
seven segment because Seven-segment displays are very common and have been for
quite some time. They can be found everywhere from the price signs at gas stations to the
display on your microwave oven to digital wristwatches. LED seven-segment displays
have become very popular in consumer electronics, mainly because of their low power
usage, ease of production and cost effectiveness. Seven-segment LED displays, like all
technology, have advantages and disadvantages

3. Motor used to drive load horizontal

3.1 Abstracts

This project is software based horizontal load sliding machine it used to move load from
one place to another place horizontally which aimed to change the manual system of the
machine process to software automated system. This project reduces time conception and
human resource of manual system. This system is developed by using C# for windows
application software and Proteus for software’s. The system analysis phase shows that
what the existing system do and what the problems are. But the design phase shows the
new proposed system and it shows the solutions to the problems of the existing system.

3.2 Introductions

The main purpose of this project is to increase production rate and reduces human
resources of manual system.

This project used move load horizontal from one place to another during production of
controller. But in horizontal movement motor is not mattered by load but friction will the
matters and also surface either smooth or roughs.

Our project different from the existing system company used in mechanical department
that move load horizontal .but in electrical department for controller production they
move load by human labor ,so we solved this problem during our internship period in
this company.

3.3 Statement of the problem

For many years the controlling method held by the operator is manually operate to move
load from one place to another.

CHAPTER FOUR

ASSESMENT OF INTERNSHIP

4. Overall benefits I have gained from internship

4.1. Upgrading (Increasing) my theoretical knowledge

This intern ship helped me to upgrading my theoretical knowledge. Sometimes, missing


of theories occurred in the practical scenario and it challenges my work area but, I tried to
solve these challenges by referring books that I have learnt before the internship. This
internship gives me awareness to change theoretical knowledge to practical and I state the
following points before starting any work it is necessary to know working procedure;

 how to work main lift controlle,emergence board


 what is the purpose main controller ,emergence board
 For whom to produce, for this theoretical knowledge
It is important to solve these problems. This internship program provided me with the
opportunity to expand my theoretical knowledge and practical skills. In this industry
there is a documentation room, this helps me to improve theoretical as well as practical
knowledge.

4.2 Improving my practical skills

In our university there are no enough machines and any electrical equipment because of
this it is difficult to generate skill full students. Now this internship period is very
important for me. I recognized the following questions and I have gained knowledge;

 How to increase my awareness in practical skill in maintenance of lift, installation of


lift and production of lift materials.
 How to improve my knowledge in the production of lift materials like main controller
emergence board etc.
 In which situation can apply?
 How to solve the problems,
 How to communicate the workers and the customers.

Dan lift technology PLC Page 43


Arab Minch university 2017/1018

In this internship I understood the operation of some machine and the process of the
elements to be provided, how to develop control circuit and different types of motors are
moreover my tasks. During my internship I have gained knowledge and could also
answer the following questions to myself;

 What are electrical components?


 How they are work?

5.4 Recommendation for university linkage

First of all, the university industrial linkage office should request or announce to the
companies earlier to the internship period so that the company will have reserve place to
the intern to host him /her. The UIL has low communication skill with the companies and
students, so the UIL must improve this skill.

5.5 Recommendation for institute

I recommend to the school to know the specific companies of the intern students with
short period of time and check the mentor (advisor) to get the student at that specific
company with proper time interval.

 It is better to have good relation to company


 It is better to take important courses before internship.
