Programming REB-8 elevator controllers

REB-8 relay expansion boards may be used as a cost-efficient alternative for elevator control. With a REB-8 expansion board added to a KT-200, the software may control up to two elevator cabs per controller.

  1. In the KT-200 definition window, select the REB-8 elevator controller option. When the option is selected, an Elevator tab appears beside the KT-200 tab. The REB-8 definition section is only active when REB-8 are used as relays.
  2. Select the Elevator tab to configure the REB-8 elevator controllers. Up to four REB-8 elevator controllers are supported.
  3. Specify the number of REB-8 that are installed on the controller. The selection is cumulative. For example, if four REB-8 are installed, the first three checkboxes have to be checked also. The following table summarizes how REB-8 are assigned to floors and to elevator cabs.
    Table 1. REB-8 assigned to floors and elevators
    Number of REB-8 Number of Floors Number of Cabs
    1 1 to 8 Cab 1
    2 9 to 16 Cab 1
    3 1 to 8 Cab 2
    4 9 to 16 Cab 2
    Note: The Inputs column refers to the REB-8 terminals. When floors have been defined (in the Floor menu), the Floors column contains the floors that are associated with the inputs.
  4. In the Floors column, select the floors associated with REB-8 controller terminals. For information about floor definition and door group definition, see Doors Configuration.
    Note: There is no floor confirmation when an REB-8 is used as an elevator controller.
