Brief: From concept to demonstration, this video highlights the evolution and practical outcomes of the Monarch Systems MCTC-GCB-A Elevator Group Control Board. You'll see a detailed walkthrough of its advanced CAN-BUS communication system, witness how the auto-switch protection mechanism operates during failures, and learn about the dual call modes for optimized elevator management in multi-elevator setups.
Related Product Features:
  • Manages 3 to 8 elevators across a maximum of 31 floors for efficient multi-elevator coordination.
  • Utilizes robust CAN-BUS serial communication for reliable data exchange between elevator controllers.
  • Features auto-switch protection that reverts to single-elevator mode upon failure and automatically resumes group control after recovery.
  • Offers dual call modes, including time-priority and efficiency-priority, to optimize passenger service.
  • Supports energy-saving operation modes to reduce overall power consumption in the elevator system.
  • Enables flexible control with time-period grouping and independent operation for single elevators.
  • Includes auxiliary functions such as password protection and decentralized waiting for enhanced security and efficiency.
  • Provides expansion options with an optional LCD screen and IE Ethernet expansion card for system scalability.
Faqs:
  • What is the maximum number of elevators and floors the MCTC-GCB-A can control?
    The Monarch Systems MCTC-GCB-A Elevator Group Control Board can manage a group of 3 to 8 elevators, with a maximum capacity of 31 floors per system.
  • How does the auto-switch protection feature work in case of a system failure?
    In the event of a failure, the control board automatically switches the affected elevator to single-elevator operation mode to maintain basic service. Once the issue is resolved, it automatically resumes the full group control functionality.
  • What communication protocol does this group control board use, and what are the expansion options?
    The board uses a CAN-BUS serial communication protocol for robust and reliable data transmission. For expansion, it supports optional add-ons like an LCD screen for display and an IE Ethernet expansion card for enhanced connectivity.
  • What are the available call modes, and how do they optimize elevator operation?
    The system features dual call modes: time-priority and efficiency-priority. Time-priority minimizes passenger waiting time, while efficiency-priority optimizes the overall operational efficiency and energy usage of the elevator group.
