Elevator Modernization


The Case for "Proprietary" Elevator Controls
The "Serviceable and Maintainable" Concept


Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM's), as you may know, build elevator control systems that can only be accessed by using a special electronic tool. These tools typically utilize patented or copyrighted and highly "proprietary" software to communicate with the elevator control system's onboard computers. When such copyrighted software and special equipment is required to service an elevator control system the building owner has only one option for all future elevator maintenance and repairs - the original manufacturer.

If only one company can provide service for "proprietary" equipment, how does the building owner control maintenance costs?

PTC-SCR Simplex/Duplex 150 fpm, 1.78 m/s 54 Landings
PTC-AR Simplex/Duplex 150 fpm, 1.78 m/s 54 Landings
Drive Systems for Every Application
PTC-SCR uses a regenerative six-pulse SCR drive for geared applications with speeds to 150 fpm (1-78 m/s), providing high reliability with low maintenance.

PTC-AC is equipped with state-of-the-art VVVF AC drives for speeds up to 150 fpm (.76 m/s). For speeds over 150 fpm (.76 in/s), flux vector drives are provided.


PTC-MG utilizes a field-proven drive unit, manufactured by MCE, which employs an analog pattern generator and integrates control of the generator field, motor field, and brake.

Simplicity Is the Key
All PTC features and options are field programmable. Both initial setup and reconfiguration are simple and easy. Programmable features include: door functions, building configuration (landings, front/rear doors and hospital emergency service), fire codes (choose from over a dozen different codes), and spare inputs and outputs (over 100 preprogrammed functions are provided for maximum field flexibility). Some features may require additional hardware.

Troubleshooting Is No Trouble
Car status messages simply troubleshooting. The system's "real time" display mode provides "on screen" diagnostic aids. With advanced internal diagnostics, PTC can frequently help identify the source of many problems. System "flags" and memory are also accessible, if needed, for advanced diagnostic work.


Secure Your Building by Floor
PTC options include MCE security. Car panel push buttons function as a keypad for entry of a floor access code. The correct access code must be entered before the controller will accept a call to an access-restricted destination. Access can be restricted both time of day and floor.
