Schindler Elevators

Schindler Elevators and Escalators

Schindler supplies various forms of transportation devices for people and goods. The transportation devices operate horizontally and vertically between floors or buildings. The complexity of the transportation devices varies based on building type. For instance, a simple elevator normally suffices in a residential building. In larger business buildings, hospitals, shopping malls, airports, and so forth, a wide range of transportation devices are used that support the optimum movement of people and goods through the use of traffic management (group control).

Elevators

An elevator is a system for transporting people and goods vertically or diagonally with a travel height of one or more floors. The elevator primarily consists of a drive, wire hoist, shaft doors, and cab, and one or more cabin doors, that selectively permit entering and exiting depending on the floor properties. The elevator is operated by selecting the desired floor button. Drive commands can be ignored with priority control (for example, in case of fire or keeping the doors open for a longer period when loading goods).

Escalators

An escalator is a means of transportation for overcoming differences in heights (generally between two floors). A time switch and/or proximity indicators are used to switch on and off escalators.

Moving walks

A moving walk is a horizontal means of personal transportation and is equipped with a pallet band. It is the perfect mobility solution for public facilities such as airports, convention centers, or other buildings. A time switch and/or proximity indicators are used to switch on and off moving walks.

Elevator Group Functionality

Requirements for a Schindler Integration

Information from Schindler elevators can be easily integrated via an OPC interface and are a component of the Desigo CC system topology.

Requirements during the Presales Phase

• Elevators, escalators, and moving walks must be hardwired to a network. This is often not the case on older installations and must be retrofitted.
• Elevator control units must be compatible. More or less elevator information is available depending on the control type.
• The supported Schindler Lobby Vision Version is V6.06.00 or newer.
• The OPC server option must be licensed.

Required during the Engineering and Commissioning Phase

• The network to the elevators, escalators and moving walks must be operational.
• Schindler Lobby Vision must be installed on the Schindler or Desigo CC computer.
• The default names for groups, elevators, escalators, etc., must be engineered using Lobby Vision with customized short and long names. This must be conducted prior to export to Desigo CC.
• The Schindler integration test must be completed prior to integration in Desigo CC.
• Schindler service technicians must create a list with customized texts and hand it over to the supplier. The texts must include information on read and write rights.

Compatibility and Versions

Comply with the following items for successful Desigo CC integration:

System Computer

• See System Description for Desigo CC computer requirements
• Desigo CC V3.0 installation with OPC DA Integration and installed Desigo CC Schindler extension module
• Installation Softing data FEED OPC Suite Version 4.20
• Desigo CC Licensing (BA data points) is used to integrate Schindler data points

Schindler Lobby Vision Computer

• Schindler Computer Embedded/Standard Windows Computer requirements:
• Installation of Lobby Vision V6.06.00 with licensed OPC server application
• Installation Softing data FEED OPC Suite Version 4.20
• RS485/TCP Gateway
• Supported series
• Schindler Elevator PORT technology
• Schindler Elevator Series: 54**, 54**, 70**

Default Texts and State Color

The following list displays available default texts, state colors, and associated values.

Texts must be updated in Desigo CC since most Schindler customer projects have customized texts.
