THE PARAMETERS AND THEIR MYSTERIES
This chapter contains information which will allow you to adapt the
MB32 VECTOR equipment to the specific conditions of the lift on which it is installed.
This adaptation is controlled by parameters, which you can modify according to your needs
using the removable parameter / diagnostic
2
communication device as described below in
the paragraph Accessing the parameters.
The parameters are memorised in a particular type of memory called an EEPROM (or
E2PROM) which
keeps the information even when the equipment is switched off
.
Each parameter is linked to an abridged name and an address which corresponds to the
position at which it is memorised in the EEPROM chip. As computers are strange creatures,
the addresses are expressed in a particular numbering system, called an hexadecimal
system (= a numbering system in base 16), which is made up of numbers (from 0 to 9) as
well as letters (A to F). This peculiarity aside, you only need to consider the address as a
marker (think of the game of battleships).
Accessing the parameters
As mentioned above, you can see and modify the parameters using the
parameter/diagnostic communication tool; this consists of a BG17 circuit board, which is
plugged into the BG15 (figure 2, page 31).
The BG17 board is made up of 2 displays with 7 segments, 2 push buttons and 2 sliding
switches (figure 1, page 31).
To access the parameters, the left-hand sliding switch must be at the bottom; this
position is shown as PAR (as in PARAMETER) on the board.
When the sliding switch is in this position, the decimal point on the right-hand display lights
up to remind you that you are looking at or modifying the parameters.
2 Note for those used to using our previous manuals :
The term "parameter/diagnostic communication device" replaces the old term "communication tool" to
avoid any risk of confusion with the equipment used to communicate (directly or by telephone link) with
the computer system (telesurveillance and/or telediagnostic).
