Elevator Controls

The Secom elevator control software provides the means to control a single elevator serving a few floors, or dozens of elevators serving multiple rises in a complex of buildings. Control can be maintained for each individual floor or each individual elevator, and each floor of each elevator can be different.

There are several aspects of "control". First, you can define when specific floors of specific elevators are to be in secure mode. Secondly, you can define cards so that only specific cards have access to specific floors when those floors are in secure mode. Further, you can define the cards to have access only during certain times. Lastly, if necessary, you can differentiate between one elevator and another, so that securing floors and accessibility can be performed on an individual elevator basis.

The elevator software reports card usage at the elevator readers when the readers are in secure mode. Optionally, the software can report which floors were selected by the cardholder.
Some systems have a relatively simple elevator scheme: "Two elevators, both serving floors 1 to 4, and one service elevator for maintenance personnel only". Other systems may be quite complex with express elevators, multiple rises, multiple buildings, and the need to differentiate between the 10th floor of one elevator where the cafeteria is, and the 10th floor of a different elevator where the CEO's executive suite is.

In either case, it is the Point-to-Floor (PTF) Maps that indicate how your system has been physically "wired". With these maps, the elevator software is programmed to reflect which points of which banks correlate to which floors. Simply put, the maps are used to make sure that when you push a button, you end up on the right floor. The maps can only be changed at the factory. This document does not address defining the PTF Map, and if you are reading this, we assume you are trying to understand how to control your elevators and define cards with regard to access.
In addition to securing/unsecuring floors, you may also want to shut down one or more elevators during the night when they are not needed. Shutting down an elevator is accomplished by the same command used to assign floors to time zones. By assigning a "never used" floor to a timezone, when that point is activated/deactivated, the Secom system can supply a simple dry contact to the elevator company equipment. The elevator company can then use that dry contact to shut down one or more elevators via their own equipment.
