AE Maestro Parameter Definitions
AE Maestro Parameter Definitions
All information about lift and control system settings and timings are stored in system
parameters. These parameters are classified into several groups to make it easy for users. These
groups are:
P01-GROUP A PARAMETERS: These parameters are denoted with a prefix letter ‘A’ as Axx.
Main parameters define the type and basic functions of the lift. They can be modified only
when the lift is resting.
P02- GROUP B PARAMETERS: These parameters are denoted with a prefix letter ‘B’ as Bxx.
Auxiliary parameters define most of the functions of the lift. They can be modified at any
time.
P03-TIMER PARAMETERS: These parameters are denoted with a prefix letter ‘C’ as Cxx.
Timer parameters store all of the user definable timer settings. They can be modified at any
time.
P04-SPEED PARAMETERS: This section contains parameters for speed adjustments. They can
be modified only when the lift is resting.
P05-CONTROL PARAMETERS: Control parameters are mainly the parameters which are used
to control the behaviour of the motor. They can be modified only when the lift is resting.
P06-MOTOR PARAMETERS: This section has parameters on motor and encoder
specifications. They can be modified only when the lift is resting.
P07-HARDWARE PARAMETERS: These parameters store the settings for the hardware of the
device.
P08-ACCESS CONTROL: Access control system is explained in section 5.3.
These parameters can be edited by pressing on the PARAMETERS icon in the main menu.

The communication between car, landing panels and controller is full serial.
[A10] LIFT STANDARD
The device changes behaviour especially after errors and in starting motion depending on the
lift standard selected in this parameter. Wiring, parameters and peripheral devices must be in
conformity with the standard selected here, otherwise you will face with errors or blocking
states.
EN81-1
0
The device works in conformity with EN81-1 standard.
EN81-1+A3
1
The device works in conformity with EN81-1+A3 standard.
EN81-20/50
2
The device works in conformity with EN20/50 standard.
[A13] LIFT/HOMELIFT
Normal Lift
0
The lift serves as a normal lift in conformity to the standard EN81-20/50.
Homelift
The lift performs as a homelift. In this selection the traffic system is simple push
button. When any travel is started and by using car buttons then the motion
1 continues only if the car call button is kept pressed along the travel. If the car call
button is released during travel, then the motion is stopped immediately.
However, there is no such restriction for hall calls. The lift travels to any hall call as
in a normal lift.
[A14] FIRE STANDARD
This parameter determines the behaviour of the lift in case of fire. See section chapter 9.

[A15] INSTALLATION MODE
This parameter is to facilitate the first installation of the system. System must be inspection
mode due to inspection box or RECALL switches to activate this utility. Some of the inputs are
inhibited when this utility is active. When the controller returns to the normal mode or system
is switched on then this parameter is switched to passive [A15=0] automatically.
0 Passive
System works in normal mode.
Active
If the system is in the inspection mode due to RECALL or car top switch, then the

controller does not respond 871, DIK, BYP, KRR, DPM, SGO, KL1, KL2, K1C and K2C
inputs. Pit inspection, UCM errors and bypass procedures are skipped.
[B19] MK DELAY
This parameter is used when floor selector is not encoder [A05<2]. It defines the
delay in stopping after the stop magnet switch has been read by the system in
0…50 normal operation. One unit in this parameter corresponds to a time delay of 10
msec. Setting to 0 disables this function. Max. value 50 corresponds to 0,5 sec.
delay.
[B20] ERS MK DELAY
It defines the delay in stopping after the stop magnet switch has been read by the
system in rescue mode. One unit in this parameter corresponds to a time delay of
0…50
10 msec. Parameter unit is 10 msec. Setting to 0 disables this function. Maximum
value of 120 corresponds to 1,2 sec. delay.
[B21] ID CONTROL
This parameter defines how the ID control system will function. In order to activate ID control
system this parameter should be nonzero. ID control system is explained in detail in section 5.3.
This parameter must be 0 during operation of priority control. However, before starting
priority operation control define [B21=2] to introduce the keys to the system. Once all keys have
been introduced then define [B21=0] to start priority control operation.

ID control system is inactive. No ID cards can be read by the system.

activated and call is accepted.

PID Control
AE-MAESTRO is a vector-controlled lift motor driver. It calculates required data carrier
frequency times and assigns voltage and frequency of motor signals. Device receives motor
speed via encoder of motor. If the reference speed differs from the motor speed, device makes
calculations to reset this difference. PID control contains the definitions of the adjustment
procedure.
PID is a control loop with feedback and is used in most industrial processes. It is a pre-defined
procedure of output refinement process. Figure 4.5a is a typical PID motor speed control system.
e(t) is the difference between motor speed and reference speed called error signal. e(t) signal is
processed from 3 different parallel channels. These are Proportional (P), Integral (I) and
Derivative (D) processes. All channels calculate correction signals with defined parameters and
send refinement signal to B point. Sum of refinement signals creates output signal u(t). Main
functions of processes are described in the table below.
Motion PI Control
When reference speed is higher than start speed, then Kp and Ti parameters are selected from
[C07]-[C12] parameters according to reference speed. [C07] and [C08] are used where the
reference speed is lower than [C11] PI Low Speed; [C09] and [C10] is used where the reference
speed is higher than [C12] PI High Speed. Kp and Ti parameters change linearly between [C11]
and [C12] reference speeds.

AE-Maestro is designed for lift operation with space vector control algorithm. Vector control
requires a feedback from motion. This system is a more effective method for lift operations.
However due to mechanical obstacles, encoder cannot be mounted onto motor. Feedback of
motor cannot be received in this system called open loop control. Due to feedback loss,
stopping sensitivity can change according to the load on system. Use this system below 1m/s
and for low load capacity lift operations.
Open loop control uses voltage/frequency (V/f) curve. As seen on Figure 4.5c, all frequencies
have different voltage values. Increase on frequency increases drive voltage. However, on low
frequencies, system cannot drive a motor because of the low voltage values. Adjust low
frequency settings with [C16] and [C17] parameters shown in Figure 4.5d.
