7.3Controlling Lift Door Operation

Lift doors need to close at varying speeds. Starting slowly, accelerating fast and slowing again as they approach closure. In this case, the doors are held closed by the motor running at low frequency at zero speed. The load can vary considerably due to mechanical changes as the lift moves, and variations in door weight as external doors are operated as well. A very good result has been obtained using micro switches to select the various speeds.

7.3.1Advantages

·Very simple system provides the desired speed profile. Doors operate smoothly and silently.

·Torque at zero speed holds doors closed.

·Speed profile can be easily adjusted.
