IMC: Intelligent
Motion Control

Performa | SCR | AC | MG |IMC Specifications

Digital, highly integrated controls for premium elevator performance

Intelligent Motion Control leads the industry in digital elevator control technology. Highly integrated digital logic and motor control provide premium performance for mid- and high-rise applications. Powerful processing algorithms eliminate the need for trimpots. All parameters are set and adjusted digitally via the system’s computer keyboard.

IMC controls continually create an idealized velocity profile. Exact car position and speed are tracked using a sophisticated distance and velocity feedback system. The result: not only a high quality ride, but the fastest possible floor-to-floor time.


IMC Performa

Top performance with simpler, faster adjustment for prestige projects

Performa takes MCE 12-pulse technology to a new level. Sophisticated software simplifies system setup and operation. Interactive automation reduces motor field and brake calibration from hours to minutes. Imbedded coaching and context-based help make parameter adjustment intuitive.

Precise velocity control is achieved using advanced Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and MCE’s sophisticated velocity control software algorithm.

New, more powerful Performa microprocessors work in tandem with high-resolution digital components, using software optimization to provide tighter tracking and greater position and leveling accuracy.

IMC-SCR

Proven 12-pulse reliability and lower harmonics for DC-SCR applications

IMC-SCR with the System 12 Drive is the ideal solution for DC modernization and new installations worldwide.

Designed specifically for elevator applications, the System 12 Drive uses high-resolution 12-pulse technology to provide an exceptional elevator ride.

IMC-SCR cuts current harmonic distortion in half (when compared to controls with conventional six-pulse drives). Audible noise is also significantly reduced.

IMC-AC

Flux-Vector technology for AC geared and gearless applications

IMC-AC combines digital control and tight integration to deliver premium AC elevator performance. Drive variables are easily accessible via the system keyboard. A powerful 32-bit processor provides smooth, continuous pattern generation.

Top-of-the-line MCE TorQmax™ AC drives bring 16K PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) technology to the elevator industry. These drives virtually eliminate takeoff lag and raise the bar for AC performance.

The optional MCE PowerBack™ AC regeneration system recaptures energy for other uses — with impressive financial payback. Eliminate unnecessary heat dissipation in the machine room while reducing cooling capacity required.

IMC-MG

Ward Leonard technology for elevators with motor generators

IMC-MG is the control of choice for motor generator applications. The drive, microprocessor and controller are combined into one fully integrated system. A single user interface provides access to all parameter adjustments and diagnostics.

Status of rotating equipment — including armature voltage and current, brake, motor field and generator shunt field voltage — is continuously displayed.
