INTRODUCTION
This document provides all the information necessary for the design, wiring and configuration of a system
based on the EPC (Elevator Position Control) application in the lift industry using a product from the
SIEIDrive ADL300 series.
It describes the sequences and functions of EPC (Elevator Position Control). The version 2 introduce the
enhancement to manage installations up to 32 floors doubling the previous version where the max number of
floors was 16.
The EPC function is a position regulator for direct, "one shot" arrival at the floor without having to slow down
during the approach.
The control must function on ADL300 drives in all the control modes envisaged (FOC and BRS)
The EPC functions are installed in the ADL300 series of drives as application 2. To enable the function the
558 Application select parameter must be set to 2(see ADL300-…-FP manual).
For all information about the ADL300 series of drives reference should be made to the “Quick start guide
and Specifications and connection” (ADL300 QS –EN manual 1S9QSEN).

1. INSTALL THE APPLICATION
1.1 General Information
This section describes a standard application commissioning procedure.
The preliminary operations for commissioning ADL300 drives are described in chapter 8 of the “ADL300
Quick Start Guide".
1.2 Requirements
The EPC application for ADL300 requires firmware version 2.00. or higher (Releases 1.x do not support the
EPC application).
To install the application you must have a PC, version 1.6.5 or higher of the Gefran GF_eXpress software
with Catalog, the RS-485 serial interface cable (cod 8S864C).
The application set-up file contains an automatic procedure that copies the required files in the specific
folders of the GF_eXpress catalog.
1.3 Preliminary operations
The EPC application is preloaded in the drive as Application 2 (refer to the menu parameter 4.5 PAR 558
Application sel).
Once GF_eXpress is installed perform the following procedure:
•Select the ADL300A (Asynchronous) or ADL300S (Synchronous) Lift drive.
•Selezionare la versione dell’applicazione:
• ADL300S: 4.x.4 EPC 7.x.10.0 (EPC for Synchronous Motors)
• ADL300A: 4.x.4 EPC 7.x.10.0 (EPC for Asynchronous Motors)

•At this stage the application is ready to be used.
Parameters are available in menu 5 “LIFT”.

2. APPLICATION OVERVIEW
This section contains a general description of the EPC (Elevator Positioning Control) application.
The EPC (Elevator Positioning Control) function is a separate application for independent management of
direct arrival at the floor with internal position regulator and saving of floor distances (system autotuning).
There are two possible configurations for this application:
- Digital I/O control: in the installations where the number of available I/Os is sufficient, the control can
be done via I/Os. NDigital Inputs are necessary to manage a system with 2N floors. If the number of
I/Os available in the BASIC version (ADL300B) is not sufficient, it is possible to use the ADVANCED
(ADL300A) version with an adequate number of I/Os (e.g. by using the EXP-IO-D16R4-ADL
expansion card).
- Remote control via CANopen fieldbus: it is possible to control the application via CANopen fieldbus,
saving in this way I/Os. To use this mode the ADL300 must be equipped with the CANopen
interface. (Order the ADL300 version with CAN interface).
- In case of systems where the number of floors is 16+, the use of CANopen control is suggested.
The main requirements for the EPC function are:
-Maximum operating speed (4m/s)
-Maximum number of floors 32
-Stop at floor without approaching at reduced speed (positioning for direct arrival at floor)
-Automatic management of speed and ramp times according to the floor of call and arrival
-Management of brake and contactor command sequences
-Availability of configurator for complete configuration and monitoring of operating variables.
-Possibility of calling floors directly (floor booked) or of requesting stops at floors during travel.
-Possibility of entering corrections and compensations on floor levels
Advanced controls:
-Inertia Compensation
-Battery run mode with choice of preferred direction
-Over Permissible Speed protection
The following functions are managed externally, by an external PLC or electromechanical unit:
-Floor call logic
-Safety logic
The control system recognises the position of the floors via a series of cams installed along the path of the
lift car. It uses a Self Study initialisation sequence to detect the position of these cams, on the basis of which
it determines the level of each floor and the number of floors.
The distance between floors may vary from floor to floor, subject to certain restrictions.

3. CONFIGURATION OF THE INTERNAL POSITIONING DEVICE (EPC)
3.1 Layout of cams
The floor management cams must be arranged as illustrated in the figure:
UpperLimit
There must only be one
landingZone cam
inside this area.
Maximum landing zone
Maximum lift travel limit.
Minimum landing zone
Minimum lift travel limit.
Deceleration zone
Deceleration zone
SlowUpperLimit
SlowLowerLimit
There must only be one landingZone cam
inside this area.

____________________ _
ADL300-EPCv2- User Guide Page 10 of 64
Types of cams
Three types of cams are used in the system:
Deceleration cams
•There are two deceleration cams:
•Deceleration lower limit (SlowLowerLimit) read by the InputSlowLowerLimit input;
•Deceleration upper limit (SlowUpperLimit) read by the InputSlowUpperLimit input.
•These cams have the following functions:
•SlowLowerLimit: if engaged it may cause the lift to slow down when this is travelling towards the
lowest floor at an incorrect speed.
•SlowUpperLimit: if engaged it may cause the lift to slow down when this is travelling towards the
highest floor at an incorrect speed.
The length of the deceleration cams must be calculated so that the lift car has time to stop from the moment
it engages a cam while travelling at maximum speed before reaching the maximum lift travel limit.
There may be several landing zones in the area covered by the deceleration cams.
In some systems the qualification cams, described below, can be used as deceleration cams. In this case
there must only be one landing zone in the area covered by the deceleration cams.
Qualification cams
•There are two qualification cams:
•The LowerLimit cam read by the InputLowerLimit input
•The UpperLimit cam read by the InputUpperLimit input
These cams are used for the following functions:
•Execution of the Zero Cycle, in conjunction with cams A and B.
•The Self Study sequence for storing the position of the floors present in the system.
The qualification cams qualify the end landing zones and thus determine the first and top floors. For this
reason there must only be one landing zone in the area covered by the qualification cam.
Floor counter cams
Each floor in the system is associated with a pair of floor counter cams.
•These cams are called CAM A and CAM B and are read by the InputCammaA and InputCammaB inputs.
•The landing zone is the area determined by the logical OR of cam A and cam B.
•There is one pair of cams for each floor in the system.
•These cams are used by the following functions:
•Floor counter.
•Realignment of the lift car at the floor.
•Zero cycle at the lowest floor, in conjunction with theLowerLimit qualification cam.
•Zero cycle at the highest floor, in conjunction with the UpperLimit qualification cam.
•The Self Study sequence for storing the position of the floors present in the system.
