Installing an Mx Elevator System

You can use any Mx controller for configuring an elevator system with these qualifications; however, since an Mx-4 controller can only offer a two-floor elevator solution and an Mx-8 controller supports up to eight floors, the recommended solution is using the M64 controller which supports up to sixty-four floors.

To set up an elevator system:

  1. Right-click on the Mx Driver and select New Mx Controller Wizard from the drop-down option list.

The wizard appears. For more on the Mx controller wizard, refer to New Mx Controller Wizard.

  1. Discover the controller then click Next.

  2. From the ‘Choose Template’ list, select the M64 then click Next.

  3. Select a name for this elevator controller then click Next.

  4. Complete the Mx controller wizard and click Finish.

  5. At the Hardware Tree, select each existing floor and configure the relevant readers, define relays, and assign elevator floor names.

Each of the M64 controller's 64 relays are displayed as Elevator Floors and the controller's 16 readers are displayed under the elevator controller.

  1. After assigning the necessary components, restart is required to bring the controller online.
