Canny Elevator AS380 Gen2 Integrated Controller: Key Commissioning Tips for Stable Elevator Operation

As modern elevator systems become more intelligent, proper commissioning plays a vital role in ensuring reliable performance, passenger comfort, and long-term operational stability. The Canny Elevator AS380 Gen2 integrated controller combines drive and control functions into a single system, making installation more efficient while providing comprehensive parameter adjustment capabilities.

During commissioning, technicians must carefully configure system parameters, verify safety circuits, test operating conditions, and complete hoistway learning before the elevator can be placed into normal service. A systematic commissioning process not only improves operating performance but also helps reduce future maintenance issues.

Preparing for Inspection-Speed Commissioning

Before powering on the controller, all mechanical and electrical installations should be thoroughly inspected.

Technicians should confirm that:

• · The elevator installation is complete and mechanically secure.
• · The safety circuit and door lock circuit operate correctly.
• · Motor power cables (U, V, and W) are connected properly.
• · Brake wiring has been completed correctly.
• · The encoder cable is securely connected to the PG board.
• · The controller status indicators for the safety circuit, door lock, and related inputs display normal operating conditions.

These preliminary inspections provide the foundation for successful commissioning and help prevent unnecessary faults during startup.

Configure the Basic Controller Parameters

Before running the elevator in inspection mode, the controller should be configured according to the elevator’s specifications.

A typical project may include the following configuration:

Other controller parameters can generally remain at their factory default values unless site conditions require additional adjustments.

Inspection-Speed Testing

After parameter configuration is complete, the elevator can be placed into inspection mode.

During the first startup, the controller automatically performs motor identification and tuning. Once the tuning process is completed successfully, the elevator should travel smoothly at inspection speed.

Technicians should carefully observe the motor current and operating condition during this stage.

If the motor current is unusually high, the encoder wiring should be inspected first. If the encoder connection is confirmed to be correct, the motor phase sequence should be checked. In some cases, reversing the motor direction parameter may be necessary if the actual travel direction does not match the commanded direction.

High-Speed Commissioning

Once inspection-speed operation has been verified, commissioning can proceed to normal operating speed.

Several systems should be checked before enabling automatic operation, including:

• · Door operator performance
• · Door opening and closing signals
• · Landing sensors
• · Leveling vanes
• · Upper and lower slowdown switches
• · Safety input signals

Unlike inspection mode, all safety circuits must remain active during high-speed commissioning. Safety devices should never be bypassed during testing.

Monitor Controller Inputs

Using the handheld programming device, technicians can monitor the controller’s input status in real time.

Particular attention should be paid to the slowdown signals and leveling signals throughout the elevator’s travel.

When the car approaches the upper or lower terminal floors, the slowdown switches should activate in the correct sequence and remain active until the leveling signal is detected. Incorrect signal timing may result in inaccurate leveling or unsuccessful hoistway learning.

Door position signals should also be verified to ensure the controller correctly recognizes fully opened and fully closed door positions.

Perform Hoistway Self-Learning

The AS380 Gen2 controller includes an automatic hoistway self-learning function that greatly simplifies commissioning.

After the self-learning process is initiated, the elevator automatically returns to the lowest floor, performs a complete door operation cycle, measures the height of each landing, and travels to the top floor while recording floor position data.

Once the procedure is completed, the controller establishes the travel profile required for accurate automatic operation.

Fine-Tune Floor Leveling

Following self-learning, technicians should verify the leveling accuracy at every landing.

If the elevator stops below the landing level, the leveling parameters should be increased accordingly. If the elevator overshoots the landing, the corresponding parameter should be reduced.

Fine adjustments may vary depending on the machine, installation quality, and site conditions.

Optimize Ride Comfort

The final commissioning stage focuses on improving ride quality.

The AS380 Gen2 controller allows engineers to optimize:

• · Starting smoothness
• · Acceleration characteristics
• · Deceleration performance
• · Medium-speed travel
• · High-speed travel
• · Zero-speed servo control

Because every installation has different motor characteristics and load conditions, these parameters should be adjusted according to actual operating performance rather than using identical values for every project.

Final System Verification

Before handing over the elevator, a complete functional inspection should be carried out.

The following items should all be tested:

• · Automatic operation
• · Hall call communication
• · Landing calls
• · Door operation
• · Accurate leveling
• · Safety circuits
• · Inspection mode
• · Emergency functions

Only after all commissioning items have been verified should the elevator be released for normal passenger service.

Commissioning is one of the most important stages in the installation of a Canny elevator equipped with the AS380 Gen2 integrated controller. From parameter configuration and inspection-speed testing to hoistway self-learning and ride comfort optimization, every step contributes to the overall safety, reliability, and operating efficiency of the elevator.

For maintenance companies and elevator professionals, following a standardized commissioning procedure can significantly reduce startup faults, improve leveling accuracy, and enhance passenger comfort.
