General

The Millennium® Elevator Control System is a state-of-the-art high-speed microprocessor-based elevator control system that continuously collects and evaluates traffic demand patterns for each individual elevator car and the entire elevator system. Based on real time events when compared to predicted traffic conditions and anticipated system demands, the Millennium® Elevator Control System automatically modifies its dispatching parameters to optimize system operation.

Individual elements of the Millennium® Elevator Control System (Group Supervisory Panel, Car Control System, Motion Control System and Drive Control System) were created to interface in a cohesive manner to provide an elevator system with unmatched ride quality characteristics while exceeding the most stringent performance requirements.


Millennium® Group Supervisory Panel

Operating under standard serial communications protocol, the Millennium® Group Supervisory Panel constantly monitors and analyzes changing traffic demands to predict the future movement of the entire elevator system and to create a real time traffic pattern scenario. Based in part on the following factors: (a) elevator status, (b) elevator direction of travel and hoistway position, (c) hall call assignments, (d) car call patterns, (e) door position, (f) stopping parameters, and (g) systems conditions, the Millennium® Group Supervisory Panel automatically recognizes any fluctuations in traffic conditions and immediately adjusts the system operation.

Combining real time conditions, historical traffic patterns and predicted system demand, the Millennium® Group Supervisory Control System continually creates an arrival time prediction diagram for each elevator car and constantly calculates the shortest waiting time when making a hall call assignment.


Millennium® Car Control System
Utilizing sophisticated 32-bit multiprocessor technology and advanced distributed controller design concepts, the Millennium® Car Control System uses a distributed control network to provide an extremely powerful and incredibly flexible elevator control system. Operating under the Millnet® communications protocol (interconnected communication via high-speed serial data links), the Millennium® Car Control System continuously distributes control to specific sections of the elevator car (elevator car top, elevator car operating panel, elevator hall fixtures, etc.) to provide superior system performance.



Millennium® Motion Control System
The Millennium® Motion Control System provides a digital, closed loop, microprocessor-based drive system. By utilizing state-of-the-art Variable Voltage, Variable Frequency (VVVF) or Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR) technology, the customized drive software specifically developed for the Millennium® Motion Control System allows for extremely tight low speed control and exceptional high speed regulation regardless of travel direction or loading conditions. The Millennium® Motion Control System continuously compares real time position and velocity feedback parameters against the optimum speed pattern created by the Drive Control System to constantly adjust the elevator system for optimal performance.



Millennium® Drive Control System
The Millennium® Drive Control System uses a digital speed control system that enables improved performance, long-term stability and enhanced reliability of the entire elevator system. Each time an elevator car makes a trip within the hoistway, the Millennium® Drive Control System determines the distance to the destination landing and then calculates the optimum speed pattern for that trip. Since the position, speed and direction of an elevator car are continuously monitored through digital encoder feedback, the Millennium Drive Control System can adjust the speed pattern profile to provide exceptionally smooth acceleration/deceleration, notably precise leveling accuracy and extremely consistent full speed operation.

Once the initial adjustment parameters of the elevator system are completed, the Millennium® Drive Control System periodically evaluates performance conditions during normal operation and makes necessary adjustments as the characteristics of the elevator components change.
