1 P factor RC
Proportional gain of the speed controller. With P value 1 and
1m/s error in elevator's speed controller will generate torque
reference corresponding to elevator's nominal torque.
Increasing P provides more accurate following of speed
reference but measurement noise of speed feedback may
cause torque vibrations. Decreasing P provides more
tolerance to noise but causes elevator not to follow speed
reference accurately and eventually decreases landing
accuracy. P-factor must be always tuned together with "21 I
factor".
2
2 Acceleration [m/s ]
Acceleration and deceleration in normal operation. Setting
this parameter also causes recalculation of "37 Jerk". Greater
acceleration enables elevator to achieve maximum speed
faster but requires more powerful drive system because
acceleration and deceleration currents increase. Acceleration
is defined in elevator specification.
3 Nominal speed [m/s]
Maximum speed of elevator in normal operation. Nominal
speed is defined in elevator specification. Smaller speed
values than defined can be used safely but greater values
must not be used.
4 Elevator load [kg]
Nominal load of elevator. This must be correctly set so that
motion control system can calculate start torque reference
accurately. Elevator load is defined in elevator specification.
Only correct value can be used.
6 Traction sheave diameter [mm] SETUP
This must be correctly set so that motion control system can
calculate motor speed reference. Only correct value can be
used.
7 Roping SETUP
Transmission ratio between motor and car speeds. Only
correct value can be used.
10 Balancing [%]
0 = NO COUNTERWEIGHT MOTOR
30.00..65.00 = BALANCING PERCENTAGE This must be
correctly set so that motion control can calculate elevator
torque. Small errors (roughly 1 counterweight filler bit) in
balancing can also be compensated by adjusting this
parameter. This parameter must not be used to compensate
large balancing errors meaning missing counterweight filler
bits or wrong sized counterweight. Misuse of this parameter
may lead to dangerous situations such as loss of rope or
brake friction! Balancing other than around 50% can only be
used if dimensioning of the drive, motor brakes and rope
friction is double checked.
11 Car and sling mass [kg]
This parameter is effective only in counterweighless elevators
i.e. when parameter “10 Balancing” is set to zero. This must
be correctly set so that motion control can calculate elevator
torque.
12 Standby mode
0 = DISABLED Standby mode is never activated.
1 = ENABLED Drive will activate standby mode when
elevator control system sends “vacant” information. It is sent
when elevator car is empty and elevator has been inactive for
about 5 minutes.
20 Inspection speed [m/s]
Speed used in inspection and rescue drive modes. Also shaft
setup uses this speed.
21 I factor [s] RC
Integration time of the speed controller. With "1 P factor"
value 1, I factor value 1 and 1m/s error in elevator's speed

SETUP = new shaft setup needed after changing parameter
MOTOR = motor type must be set again RC = parameter affects to ride comfort and performance
integral part of the controller will generate after 1s torque
reference corresponding elevator's nominal torque. Smaller
values make controller to respond faster to speed errors but
can cause vibration as controller may become sensitive to
resonant frequencies. Increasing value too much causes
elevator not to follow speed reference accurately and
eventually decreases landing accuracy. I-factor must be
always tuned together with "1 P factor".
22 Reduced speed [m/s]
Speed used in special drive modes, for example with
emergency power.
23 Start torque scaling RC
Start torque used to smooth start and can be adjusted with this
parameter. Increasing value gives more torque at start. With
correct value speed controller output stays near zero and
elevator does not move when brake is opened.
25 KTW/Q factor RC
Proportion of total moving masses and nominal load. Torque
feedforward value during acceleration and deceleration can
be adjusted with this parameter. With correct value speed
controlled output is near zero during acceleration and
deceleration. Value can be searched by using KTW/Q-
estimator in RealTimeDisplay.
26 Rope weight [kg/m] RC
Compensates rope unbalance. Positive values give more
torque at top of shaft and less at the bottom.
27 Car cable weight [kg/m] RC
Compensates weight of car cable. This is used with parameter
26 (rope weight) to fine tune starts in tall elevators.
28 Final jerk distance [mm] RC
Additional distance used for final jerk. Longer distance gives
smoother approach to landing but reduces performance as
approach takes more time.
30 Brake test
0 = DISABLED Automatic brake test is never done.
1 = ENABLED Drive will do automatic brake test at least
once a day. Note that test is performed only when elevator
control systems permits it i.e. car is empty at floor and no
calls are allocated.
2 = ENABLED EVERY 5 MINUTES Drive will do
automatic brake test every 5 minutes. This is meant only for
testing purposes.
3 = ENABLED EVERY 5 MINUTES Same as selection 2,
but diagnostic code is sent to the log after each test. This is
meant only for test and demonstration purposes.
31 Tacho fault counter
0 = NO SUPERVISION
1..10 = TFC SUPERVISION If start fails because of
difference supervision between two speed feedback devices,
start is tried again number of times indicated by this
parameter before a fatal TFC fault is declared.
32 Speed feedback filter time [ms] RC
0 = NO FILTERING Caution! Disabling filtering may cause
strong vibration to machinery and may cause damage.
10..80 = FILTER TIME Time constant for speed feedback
1st order low pass filter. Longer values provide more
efficient filtering but generate greater lag to feedback. This
means also that speed controller can react to reference
changes only after delay. Shorter values decrease lag but can
cause that amount of measurement noise increases in speed
controller input which in turn can cause torque vibration.
Generally filter time should be set as low as possible.
33 Start delay
Delay between brake open command and start of speed
reference. Usually this is tuned so that just after brake is
opened elevator starts moving. Too small values cause
bouncy starts because elevator starts against brake.
37 Jerk [m/s3] RC
Maximum acceleration change rate during speed reference
phase 1. Lower values provide smoother operation but
performance is decreased because more time is needed for
jerks. This parameter is automatically recalculated when
parameter "2 Acceleration" is altered.
39 ADO speed [m/s]
Below this speed Advanced Door Opening information is
signaled from drive to elevator control system.
43 Stop delay [s]
Delay between brake close command and torque rampdown.
Usually this is tuned so that there is enough time to apply full
brake force before motor current is cut. Too small values
cause bad stopping accuracy when elevator is able to move
against dropping brake due to gravity. Too high values cause
unnecessary stress and heat for the drive electronics.
52 Full speed jerk [m/s3] RC
Maximum acceleration change rate during speed reference
phases 3 and 5. Lower values provide smoother operation but
performance is decreased because more time is needed for
jerks. Lower value also decreases motor’s peak power and
voltage needed at the end of acceleration. Maximum value is
“37 Jerk”.
60 Motor type SETUP
MM.DD = MOTOR TYPE
MM = motor type, for example 1 for GMX1, 10 for MX10
DD = motor subtype, different motor windings for different
speeds and elevator applications
Setting this parameter causes machinery depending default
values for following parameters:
4 Elevator load
6 Traction sheave diameter
7 Roping
10 Balancing
11 Car and sling mass
25 KTW/Q factor
30 Brake test
33 Start delay
61 Brake voltage reduction enable
64 Encoder pulses per motor round
65 Encoder type and polarity
66 PWM switching frequency

80 Motor source voltage (E)
81 Motor nominal current (I)
82 Motor nominal stator frequency (fs)
83 Motor nominal rotation speed (rpm)
84 Motor nominal output power (P)
86 Motor stator resistance (Rs)
87 Motor stator reactance (Xs)
After this parameter is once set it can be resetted only when
parameter “95 parameter lock” is set to 0.
61 Brake control type
0 = BCK, dual brakes
1 = BCK, dual brakes, voltage reduction Voltage is
reduced 2 seconds after brake opening. This must be
correctly set or otherwise brakes can be overheated
2 = BCL, single brake Used only in NA where other brake
is controlled by ADO-N
3 = BCX, dual brakes, configurable voltage Parameter is
set automatically to 3 if BCX is present. Voltage is set to pick
value through parameter 90 and, after 2 seconds voltage is set
to hold value through parameter number 91.
64 Encoder pulses per motor round
Motor encoder pulses per one motor round. For encoders
with friction pulley gear ratio must also be taken in account.
This must be correctly set so that motion control can measure
correct motor speed.
65 Encoder type and polarity
0 = NONE No encoder available or encoder broken. This
mode can be used with RDF or inspection to operate in speed
sensorless scalar control mode. (Mode uses excess current! -
use only if nothing else works!)
-1/1 = SHAFT Motor encoder is mounted directly to motor
shaft.
-2/2 = FRICTION Motor encoder is mounted with friction
pulley.
By changing sign of this parameter encoder A and B channels
are swapped causing change in sign of measured speed.
66 PWM switching frequency [kHz]
Switching frequency for power semiconductors. Higher
values can decrease acoustical noise from motor but will
increase power losses in power seminconductors.
67 Motor temperature limit [oC]
When measured motor temperature reaches this limit drive
will wait at floor until motor has cooled down. This is valid
only with machineries equipped with NTC temperature
sensor.
68 Motor overload full speed current [A]
0 = OVERLOAD SUPERVISION NOT IN USE
10..100 = OVERLOAD CURRENT LIMIT If measured
motor current exceeds this value during full speed motor
protection supervision is tripped.
69 Motor acceleration current [A]
0 = OVERLOAD SUPERVISION NOT IN USE
10..100 = OVERLOAD CURRENT LIMIT If measured
motor current exceeds this value during acceleration motor
protection supervision is tripped.
70 Drive commissioning
0 = NO ACTION
1 = MOTOR STATOR IDENTIFICATION Motor phase
resistance and reactance are measured in next start. Brake
stays closed and car will not move. Results are copied
automatically to parameters “86 motor stator resistance” and
“87 motor stator reactance”.
72 Enable elevator test
0 = NO ACTION
Caution! Following actions should be only done with relevant
instruction documents:
1 = TRACTION TEST UP
2 = TRACTION TEST DOWN
3 = COUNTERWEIGHT BUFFER TEST
4 = CAR BUFFER TEST
5 = DTS TEST
6 = NTS TEST UP
7 = NTS TEST DOWN
8 = 125% TEST DOWN (US)
11 = ENHANCED RELEASE FROM SAFETY GEAR
21 = BRAKE 1 TEST
22 = BRAKE 2 TEST
74 LWD setup
-2 = FIXED SCALING Enables fixed scaling for LWD
input where 4mA corresponds 0% load and 16mA 100%
load.
-1 = CLEAR Setup is cleared. LWD is set to 50% all the
time.
0 = ZERO POINT Adjust empty car. LWD is set to 0%.
1...120 = LOAD POINT Adjust loaded car. LWD is set to
given percentage.
NOTE1: After changing setup save results with "99 Save"
parameter. Without saving setup results will be lost after
powerdown and previous setup will be restored from non-
volatile memory. Saving can be done after each point.
NOTE2: If a load point is given below 90% a second load
point can be given above 90%. With this feature LWD
measurement with fully loaded car can be adjusted.
NOTE3: If new load points are given they will replace
existing ones. This feature enables adjustments of existing
setup point by point.
NOTE4: Two zero points can be given after shaft setup. Zero
points should be given in the topmost and the lowest floors.
Drive will save LWD input current and elevator position for
both points and make linear correction for all measurements
with this difference. Two zero points can also be given after
setting fixed scaling with -2.
75 Real time display selection
Signal displayed in Real Time Display is selected with this
parameter. Check parameter list for available signals.
80 Motor source voltage E [V]
81 Motor nominal current [A]
82 Motor nominal stator frequency [Hz]
83 Motor nominal rotation speed [r/min]
84 Motor nominal output power [kW]
86 Motor stator resistance [Ω]
87 Motor stator reactance [Ω]
All motor parameters must be correctly set before drive can
operate.
88 Motor id current ratio [%]
Ratio of magnetizing current to quadrature current (Id/Iq).
Low negative values decrease the need for motor voltage and
may help with overload or undervoltage situations.
90 Brake pick voltage [V]
Voltage in brake output for 2 seconds when brakes are
opened (=picked). Used only with BCX brake control
module. With BCK or BCL brake control module this
parameter does not affect brake control at all.
91 Brake hold voltage [V]
Voltage in brake output after 2 seconds from pick. Used only
with BCX brake control module. With BCK or BCL brake
control module this parameter does not affect brake control at
all.
95 Parameter lock
0 = OPEN
1 = LOCKED
To prevent accidental actions parameter lock must be first
opened before some parameters can be set.
