Wow, very informative video there! I think the Kone mod is the best too. The last lifts you showed I think have been modernised the same way as the glass lift at the Maylord centre in Hereford, which was an 80's Otis, now ruined by Jacksons. It does start up painfully slowly but levels quickly which I don't really understand, then only a second or 2 later it opens its doors. Very interesting and great to know that Lester has got rid of their blind VF...! Great video Beno! Oh and Schindler M Series logic is amazing!

I think that kone lift actually uses an Omron VF. Kone really only use their own VFs on their ecodisc motors. But kone is one of the few companies that know how to set up a blind vf to run well. I have seen some kone mods where it levels nearly perfectly and pre-doors even quicker than an ecodisc (even better than the lift in this video!). I filmed one, might upload it later!

There was a big issue with the previous LED indicators, the original ones were just arrows on all except UM, but the replacements didn't have any arrows and didn't show direction at all - combine that with the fact most of the interior indicators and voices didn't work, there was no way of knowing which lift was going except for pressing the call button and seeing if it went out.

You are the first person to notice this other than me. They re-engineered the Schindler lifts at my old work (sorry can't remember to what), the net result was exactly as you said it was slower while coming to a stop, we all had to wait longer. And to make matters far worse they were less reliable in the end... There must be some good lift salespeople around. What got me was the quality of the Schindler equipment they removed looked really good and easy to fix if it broke only to be replaced by what looked like junk to me. Anyway, I tend to hate new things so I am biased..perhaps.

I've seen a lot of older lifts whose doors open quickly even though pre-doors are uncommon (at least where I live) i.e. without waiting 3-6s after leveling. Also to clarify I've realised that it's not just KONE but many other companies' (e.g. OTIS, Schindler, IFE, VM Elevator) newer lifts too that insist on such waiting, though it's less common on higher-rise lifts (so I'm thinking if this is related to any limitations in MRL technology). By the way on some KONEs you can hear the lift's brakes being applied halfway through this waiting period, whereas on the other hand many OTIS lifts in my university apply the brakes when the doors are opening instead (without the need to wait after the lift levels, but with slower though not blind-VF slow leveling)

Ben, what aspect of the Schindler M-Series do you find is better the KONE M-Series? Seeing as they are so similar in design apart from the obvious things like buttons, indicators and the like, I'm just curious as to what aspect of it Schindler did slightly better than KONE. :P
@benolifts
@benolifts 5 жыл бұрын
The similarities between Schindler and Kone M series are very interesting. They both run very similarly. They both work on shaft bar and tacho, and both deacellerate perfectly, but the Schindler is very slightly better. Schindler M series always pre-doors and pre-start is an optional feature. Kone M series does not pre-door or pre-start. The weird thing is that these 2 logics look very different and don't seem to have any similarity between them. The schindler M series uses the expansion card principle, which is also used on Thames valley and Express 3rd gen. This principle is overly complexly designed but very simple to maintain (as long as the circuit cards are still available for purchase). With the Schindler M series M stands for Miconic, but why does the Kone M series use the same letter. Kone M series uses TMS logic, so should be called the T series. Kone TMS looks completely different and has some similarities in design to Kone LCE. The way the 2 M series logics are phuscily designed could not be more different, but both logics are following the exact same theory in design. Also both M series logics had the option to plug in a screen to show ansi/ascii serial data. Also both logics came in DC pulsed AC and DC versions. When AC VF came Schindler updated the logic into the Schindler 7000, which is basically almost the same thing but with VF drive and the option for destination dispatch. Kone instead moved over to synchronous motors (the ecodisc, which is their own custom design) rather than simply adopting standard AC motors like everyone else, and Kone invented the LCE logic. Big Ecodiscs (which I refer to as the 3rd generation) did not come until 2004. So for a very short time (2000 - 2004) there was an AC VF version of the Kone TMS for high rise building before the large models of Ecodiscs became available.

2:12 Unfortunately it appears that blind VF has been added to my country's (Singapore) subway/metro trains too (East West & North South Lines), following the resignalling project from the Westinghouse fixed-block signalling to Thales' SelTrac CBTC. Thus the trains now take ~10s longer to brake & stop at each station, and with up to 33 stations per line that's up to ~5.5min more travelling time

I don't think a train can have a blind VF. A train automation system would not rely on just speed reference points without a tacho. The only train I could think off with a blind VF is the little cable pulled train to the car park at Frankfurt airport. Also the Naples funiculars are blind VF and take ages to stop at a station.

M-series: -Extremley fast with perfect leveling. -No lines full of people wanting to board the lifts. -Never broke down. Generic lifts: -Slowed down too early (occasionally) -More than 5 people waiting to board the lift. -Would probably break down in a few years. -Reliability problems.

There's a lift at our local cinema which must have the worst logics I've ever seen. I sadly don't know what type of lift / logics it is as I wasn't into lifts yet the last time I went to the cinema, but even back then I noticed that it just feels horrible. It's not exactly fast in the first place, but when it levels, you can see how it drastically slows down about 15 cm above / below the floor level, and then absolutely creeps that last bit which takes around 5 to 7 seconds!!! Also obviously no pre-doors on this one. The lift goes up from the parking garage to the first floor, and if it stops at the ground floor as well, you are way faster when you just take the stairs...

I didn't mention Mitsubishi as they are not very common and would be unlikely to be chosen to modernize an M series. In the mid 80s to mid 90s there was some sort of Schindler, Fujitech and mitsubishi collaboration. I do not know much about this or even to what extent this went to. Fujitech computer control levels identical to Schindler M series and used the same voice, and Fugitech used the same indicator as Mitsubishi. Sadly it is not easy to get in the motor rooms of the sorts of buildings that have Mitsubishi and fujitechs. Until I get in a motor room I can't really comment any more on this. Modern day Mitsubishi fully follows the intellegent levelling principle. It runs perfectly. The only thing is the acceleration is not quite as fast as a Schindler M series.

@@benolifts Yeah LiftTech are probably using the LCE CanX which makes sense as LiftTech are one of the biggest Generic lift companies in Australia and have a ton of contracts with public organisations such as VicTrack so they would have the resources to specifically train their engineers how to use that logic and how to set up their lifts extremely well so they are compliant with the high standards of current public infrastructure in Australia! It’s also very possible that they may also get their motors from Schindler or another company making similar motors as the massive barrel style MRL motors they use look very like Schindler motors but also feature blue paint like what’s on the cheap Chinese knockoff motors you did a recent video about. It’s still unlikely that they would cheap out on motors because of the high standards they must follow under contract of public organisations! :)

I wonder if Schindler’s M-series logic is still covered by patents. All these big companies like Kone, Otis, Schindler innovate a lot and have big R&D budgets but also a lot of patents. It’s not uncommon that big companies have mutal license agreements on using each other’s tech. Allthough I’ve read somewhere that Otis once sued Schindler for copying their gen2 belt drive design. They settled it and formed some mutal license agreement so that they can use each others tech, a bit like a gentlemen’s agreement. I reckon that Lester controls may not have the money to license this sort of propriotary technology even if they have the technical means of copying it, they can’t market it due to patents. And of course the design engineers may be bound by non-disclosure agreements eventhough companies try to lure each others top employees like in the semi conductor industry.

It is very unlikely that shaft bar and tacho is covered by a patent. It is a very standard system. Schindler have just perfected it. One thing that Schindler does that no other lift company would ever do is to have overrun tolerance. M series and Eurolift are not scared to overrun the floor slightly and immediately move back to it before applying the brake. It seems that all other lift companies seem would never dream of doing this and have lifts approach the floor very slowly for the last bit to make sure it doesn't go past it.

I wonder what the avarage stop tolerance is for high-speed lifts (ones that go 4 m/s), just last night I was thinking about a shaft positioning system using a strip with holes at 10mm intervals with an optical encoder (like a rotary encoder in a old fashioned computer mouse with a trackball) and a counter that measures the distance to keep track of the position. I reasoned that a tolerance of +/- 5mm stopping distance should be nice. I sometimes have these philosophical daydream moments..... Shindler's approach seems very novel and quite logical. It would make it a lot easier to stop correctly even with high-speed lifts.
@benolifts
@benolifts 5 жыл бұрын
I often think about how I could make a better positioning system. Here are the most common ones that exist on lifts. Reference point and tacho - The tacho is connected to the motor and the reference points can either be shaft bars, magnets on the track, or tickey tape magnets. This is a very common system with great variation in efficiency between logics. Barcode tape - Used by Magnetek and High rise ThyssenKrupp. This is a fully intellegent system that has perfect accuracy. Blind VF - uses ticky tape magnets for the slow down and stop points. Classic 2 speed - Uses shaft switches or tickey tape magnets for the slow down and stop points, or could use a mechanical circuit system in the motor room and selector tape. Rubber tooth tape with tacho - The teeth function like a cog on the tacho. This is fully intellegent when used on hydroware hydraulics. Thames valley sometimes use it with less good results. Hole punch tape - This has holes and a laser. The holes are every 5 - 8 mm. This could be fully intellegent, but the early 2000s thames valleys were not that well set up, but slightly better than blind vf. I have seen some simple 2 speed hydraulics with hole punch tape which seems wasted on a hydraulic. I have also seen it interfaced to a blind VF which it is wasted on. Electric signal wire - This has a wire hanging down the shaft and signals are sent down the wire. It makes a calculation based on the change in signal, maybe based around the speed of light, to work out the position. This is a fully intellegent system but it is chance how well the thames valley has been set up. Also it is weird how many position systems I have seen thames valleys working with. Mechanical intellegent system - These are crazily complex and were used on high rise relay lifts. Very few are left. These have a selector tape system and a mechanical model of the lift that reduces the speed as the lift aproaches the floor.

Schindler M series fromn the 80s were the best ever. In the 90s they got AC motors thus don't overshoot anymore. The Schindler 700, and later 7000 (technically the same lift) are high rise only and use VF AC motors. In some countries you can still get the 7000 with M-series or D-series buttons, but technically they are not much like the 80s M-series any more. They do intelligent levelling but no overshooting. Most o them can do prre-doors.

But do remember that the Schindler 3300 and 5500 can do pre doors. I went in a 3300 with pre doors and it takes about 4 and a half seconds to go from the ground floor to the first floor. Also they have full intelligent levelling. If you don't think that is true then look at my latest video and you will see.

Hmmm..... That's interesting that 3300 configured without them is super common. I knew something was clearly wrong when it took them super long to do the "levelling" (although it is more like relevelling and minor corrections) and delays a lot.

I like you for 'trespassing' and doing other things. Your presence in spooky places is a benign presence, leaving behind no trails and doing nothing more than turning on lights to chase darkness from corners for awhile. If I were a ghost haunting these places your visit would be the bright spot in my eternal torment and I'd recall fondly the few moments when the nice intelligent voices of you and your friends passed through my space, like small inquisitive animals observant and appreciative of every little corner. What a welcome change from the ugly and depressing humans that slog though my spaces day after day, some only looking for a spot to piss. People who piss in elevators are the worst. There should be upward looking cameras so their Johnsons and Janedoes could be paraded on the Internet.
