Pitagora 4.0 – Controller

---

Motherboard

The control board of the Pitagora 4.0 system is based on 32-bit electronic technology and operates all types of electric and hydraulic lifts. Serial and/or parallel connections to pushbutton panels (cabin and floor) may be added. It is particularly suitable for VVVF electrical installations, also those equipped with the elevator car uncontrolled movement system (Amendment A3 or EN81-20 / 50).

The 4.0 motherboard contains hardware and software that allows control of the elevator and all its peripherals. Through the integrated and/or remote programming modules it allows access to all available features. Inputs and outputs are connected to all electronic and electromechanical devices in the controller and in the lift.

Programming module

Integrated Programming Module
The Mother Board has a removable programming module that allows viewing and editing of all the basic parameters for the control panel management and configuration. In VVVF’s version, also FUJI’s parameters of the basic (menu VVVF BASE) and advanced (VVVF ADVANCED menu) configuration may be viewed and edited.
For details of the programming module operation and an extensive management system menu, see paragraph changing system parameters.

Remote programming module
An alternative way to access the configuration menu of the controller, in the view/modification mode, is by connecting the removable keypad of the DMG V3 Playboard (PlayPad), to the connector PLP V3, mounted on the Lift Control Board.
This module can be connected in various ways:
– Connected directly
– Connected by a dedicated extension cable directly on the board (in the engine room)
– Connected to the board on the elevator car roof (TOC) in the case of lifts with DMG pre-wired serial devices.

An alternative way to access the controller is based on Fusion App.

Connectors description

Name		Description
FJ1	FUJI Interface	Connection to the FUJI interface inside the inverter.
J4	FUJI Analog / Serial	Connection to the FUJI used in case of remote Inverter.
J6	Parallel Signals	Connection to the APPO Board. It includes all parallel signals available on the terminal block inside the control panel.
J8	UCM Circuit	Connection to the circuit for UCM solution. Pitagora 4.0 has own certified solutions for managing of UCM solution in lift installations. The UCM system consists of three parts: • Detector who detects an Unintended Cabine Movement. • Actuator how the braking action is implemented • Stopping Device what stops the cabin. The Stopping Device must be a certified safety device and it is the installer's responsibility to ensure the compatibility of the different elements of the UCM system. For the functional verification of the entire system and the measurement of the spaces and intervention times, specific tests are provided to be carried out at the end of the assembly (see Test and measurements) For further information on connections and parameters see UCM circuit section). A non-exhaustive list of the types of UCM systems and solutions most used are shown in the following table, where different applicable solutions are highlighted, each of which has its own dedicated interface and programming circuit. The interfacing with the listed devices is carried out according to the specifications indicated in the manuals of the relevant manufacturers. When the absolute positioning system ELGO LIMAX 33CP is provided (link), its certified UCM function is used. See the "UCM system" table below
J9	Relevelling Circuit	Circuit to make Door Safety Contact Bypass for: - Pre opening and/or - Re-levelling In case of Absolute Encoder Positioning system this connector is not used. The circuit management of the re-leveling operation consists of a Safety Module and a Safety Relay. This circuit allows by-pass of the safety contacts of doors, thereby permitting movement of the cab with doors open at reduced speed in the permitted area (unlocking doors area) in the case of lowering the level of the elevator car, not precise elevator car stopping, or doors pre-opening. The ISO output closes to GND. - ISO output (safety relay contact by-pass doors) open collector Max 24V 100mA - Input CCISO (Monitor ISO safety relay) closure to GND (NC) I = 5mA - Input TISO (Monitor Safty module) closure to GND (NC) I = 5mA - S11-S12 (free contact) close when ISO1 is closed The Second enable signal for the Safety module comes directly from a second sensor (ISO2) and it must close to GND.
J10	Light Curtain / >|<	Use only in completely parallel Configuration. Connection to the screw terminal of cabinet.
J11	Safety Chain	Connection to the SECU Board. It includes the 7 points reading from the safety chain. The system is based on an opto insulated circuit connected to earth (Inside SEC Board): - Input SE0 <-> SE6 opto-insulated 48 Vdc Above the safety circuit, a suitably sized magnetic circuit breaker (Imax = 0,5 A) must be provided. - SE0 is the start point of Safety chain (after DIS Protection inside the controller) - SE1 controls SHAFT STOP zone and PIT Inspection Box - SE2 controls Top of elevator car STOP and TOC Inspection Box - SE3 controls Limit Switches, Safety Gear, Overspeed Governor - SE4 controls FLOOR PRELIMINARY LOCKS - SE5 controls FLOOR LOCKS - SE6 controls CAR DOORS and Pre-triggered’s contact systems If the limit switch, or Overspeed governor or Safety Gear is activated (safety chain point SE3 opens), the system is set out of service. To set it back in service you must reset the SE3 error via the programming module. Obviously the safety contact of the over run final limit switch must first be reset.

VVVF Frenic Lift Setting

Motor Tuning (VVVF Controller)

In the case of a Controller equipped with electric inverter Fuji FRENIC Lift, the self-learning procedure of motor data (“Tuning”) must be performed. This must be carried out in order to align the functioning of the drive to the electrical characteristics of the motor on site. The tuning procedure must be done in temporary operation. The procedure is different according to the type of Motor.

In case of any problem go to the Fault menu to identify the Problem (§ Motor Tuning Errors)

At the end of the procedure, press the up/down button and check the correct elevator car movement direction; if not correct, invert values of parameters E98 and E99.
For closed loop installations, in the <I/O Status>, VVVF IN/OUT menu, check that the VVVF motor encoder value (4/7) is positive (+) during upward movement and negative (-) during downward movement when the FWD (1/7) command is activated. If not, invert a channel in the motor encoder of the VVVF.

Motor Tuning Errors

GEARED motor
In old motors the auto-tuning may fail: in these cases the auto-tuning type 1 (at point 10 select P04 = 1) can be executed but in this case the values P06 and P12 must be manually entered.


Typical values of P06 are between 30% and 70% of P03.

F.r. = Frequency rated
S.s. = Speed synchronous
S.r. = Speed rated

Acceptable values of P12 are between 0.5 and 5 Hz.
For instance, for a 4-pole motor, the Rated Frequency is 50 Hz, the synchronous speed is 1500 rpm and the Rated Speed is on the motor nameplate (always in revolutions per minute).


GEARLESS motor
In case of a problem “Error 52 = er7 Error VVVF” will show in the MENU ERRORS. In this case please check the connections of the motor encoder, clear the errors in the “Errors” menu and repeat the poletuning procedure from point 14.
After the poletuning procedure try to move the elevator in maintenance in up and down for some motor revolutions. If it moves correctly the procedure is over, otherwise, in the event of an error of the VVVF (ere or Ocx or Os), reverse the two motor phases changing the VVVF’s H190 parameter, clear the errors in the “Fault” menu and repeat the poletuning procedure.
