3. Fundamentals
3.1. PORT Technology Concept
There is no control function like a group controller. Each transport medium (each elevator) has its own job manager acting as a selling unit of
its own transport capacity. Requirement handlers (for example terminals), as representative of a passengers requirement, send an offer
request to all job managers able to fulfill the demand. All job managers send an offer back. The terminal then ends an order to the job
manager with the best offer.

All PORT Technology modules are "plug and play" devices and, as far as possible, self configuring. They have so called "position property",
which defines their geographical position in the building by x-and y-coordinates (in meters, horizontally, starting at the building zero point), the
floor (vertically) and the zone (a two to three dimensional limited area with the same access restrictions).

All PORT Technology components are connected to the PORT Technology network (main PORT Technology nets are LON and Ethernet).
With the physical connection to the network, the installation is done and no further drivers must be installed. Other, not PORT Technology
compatible components need, at minimum, a software driver to make it compatible to PORT Technology. In most cases, a special hardware
is also needed.

3.2. Coordinate System
PORT Technology uses the position properties to calculate the walking time from terminals to elevators, or to define the arrow on the display
to show the direction to walk to the assigned elevator door.

Each PORT Technology component is physically positioned within a building by means of five properties:

X-coordinate (0 ... 255 meters)

Y-coordinate (0 ... 255 meters)
Orientation
Floor number (floor -50 ... 205.) Floor number 50 = Ground floor (0)
Zone (0 ... 255).

Unit
The unit of measure for X and Y coordinates is meters [m].

The definition of these five properties is an important part of the (on-site) configuration process and is normally done immediately after
connecting the device to the network.

Terminal Position (orientation)

The terminal position is entered as x-y coordinates within the building coordinate system. The orientation is
entered at the terminal or with the visual configuration. It has the following contents:

X>: In x direction
Y^: In y direction
<X: x opposite direction
vY: y opposite direction.

Elevator Position

The elevators x-y position is measured at the center of the front door. The orientation is the direction entering
the front door.

The position and orientation is entered at the Job managers tabs. It is also configured within the visual
configuration.

 Example

The origin is 0, 0.
Terminal T1: X=4, Y=8, Orientation Y^
Terminal T2: X=13; Y=8, Orientation Y^
Terminal T3: X=15, Y=3, Orientation X>
Elevator A: X=5, Y=10, Orientation Y^
Elevator B: X=8, Y=10, Orientation Y^
Elevator C: X=12, Y=10, Orientation Y^
Main Database: X=12, Y=18

Maximum Values
The maximum value for X and Y is 255 [m] (0 ... 255).
The maximum number of floors is 255 (-50 ... 205).

6. Building Configuration

This chapter includes only short information about the content of the most important building configurations.
Supermasters are allowed to do all configurations. Masters can only edit users within their group.
For details, see PTE - Supermaster Manual and PTE - Master User Manual.

Users/Building contains the configuration of the users and the installation which may include multiple buildings.

The Users/Building window has various tabs.

Depending on the access level, the number of available tabs may vary.

Tab Description

Users The user database contains all the information collected on the elevator system users. Users can either be people or objects
such as food trolleys and hospital beds. A user can have access rights, defined with predefined user profiles or individually.

A master can access the user database for the masters group assigned to him on order to enter or change data.

Card A connected Card Reader can be assigned here.

Reader

Site Info The site info can be entered to identify the PORT Technology installation. If there is a SMS message sent to a support
center, the site can be identified with this information.

Users User groups can be groups of people, or objects such as hospital beds or food trolleys. User groups are defined to prevent
Groups / members of certain groups from using the same elevator; for example visitors and a patient in a hospital bed. A user can be
Buildings assigned to several groups, and it is possible to prevent several other groups from traveling with him.

A site can include more than one building. This buildings can be handled with the building groups. It is important that at
least one building is defined.

Locations A location can be shown in the Visual Configuration Window. For Information only.

Master Master groups are used to limit a master’s access to the user data in the PORT Technology database. Masters can only
Groups view, enter and change data for the users in the one or more master groups assigned to them.

PORT Technology contains 64 master groups (group 0 to 63). Group 63 is reserved for Expert use and has to be always
named "Schindler", Group 62 is reserved for Supermaster use and has to be always named "Supermaster". All other groups
can be named individually.

To avoid confusion about different master groups, it is strongly recommended to give them clear recognizable names (for
example, company A, company B, hotel C), before they will be assigned to a master or Supermaster.

Time The time pattern is a set of time segments with a common reference that occur during the week. Examples of time patterns
Pattern are business hours, weekend, the time a certain zone is closed to traffic.

EJ_41905010_07 TM PTE 01 - General

Page 24 of 71 Copyright © 2002 - 2015 Inventio AG. All Rights Reserved.
Zones and A zone is an area within a building with defined access rights. Users can have access rights to one or more zones.
Zone
Access A zone transfer is when a user moves from one zone to another. The level of identification required for a user to make a
transfer between specified zones is clearly defined. These identification levels form the basis of the security concept for a
building complex.

Zones are identified by their name or a number. The color can be chosen manually or automatically.

Standard is: One floor = one zone (with the same numbering as the floor).

Transfer Transfer rules define specific transfer conditions for groups or people. They can be defined for example for VIPs to allow a
Rules zone transfer that is normally prohibited or to allow disabled people to board always on floor 1 of a double deck car.

Lifts The elevators and number of floors can be defined by "Lifts". There are several possibilities, to enter doors, floors and to
define entries for every level.

All Lifts within the whole installation has to be configured here.

Languages A Language can be assigned to a user from the "Assistance" dialog box located under the "User" tab. The language used for
these announcements can also be selected there.

The languages available for audio assistance for any specific PORT Technology system are programmed in the speech
module firmware for that system.

A defined language does not mean necessarily announcement, it can be displaying only.

7.1. Ethernet
Ethernet is based on an Internet protocol suite. The physical layer consists of the basic networking hardware transmission technologies of a
network. The network layer provides addressing and path determination through a network of many networks connected by routers. This is
done frequently using IP addresses. The transport layer provides the transmission of an application from one computer to another computer.
The most known transport protocols are TCP and UDP.

TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is used for connection-oriented transmissions.

UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is used for connectionless transmissions.

Layer (OSI names) Type

7.1.1. UDP
The UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is for the communication between PC devices such as

Programming station
PORT
PTG, PTDB
VCL, touch terminal, VDI, PDI...
Mainstation PCs
etc.

The UDP driver is the standard ethernet network driver.

With its bus topology, UDP is ideal for connecting IRON devices together. We propose to use a distinct UDP Connection for each group and
one common UDP gateway to interconect the groups.

Here, the gateway can rather be seen as semipermeable firewall with following characteristics:

Traffic from and to global devices is allowed.

Traffic among local devicess is blocked.

7.1.1.1. UDP Gateway

A gateway connection is required to connect different groups together.

A Z-line terminal can only handle up to 50 partners. If more than 50 partners (jobmanager, database, SOM handler) are used, the network
must be divided and a second main station is required.
The number of partners on PORTs is not limited.

Usually the elevator groups building are defined as a cluster. The groups are interconnected by a gateway connection.
The UDP port for the gateway connection is 6500. This is considered as a global network connection.
Communication within each cluster takes place via another port such as 6503 or 6504.This is considered as a local network
connection.
The devices in one local network connection/cluster cannot communicate via the global connection with devices in another local
network connection/cluster. This means that a terminal within a particular cluster cannot send requests and assign calls to elevators
in another cluster.

Examples of devices in a local network connection [device ID = 0…127]:

Terminals
Job managers
Doors
Drives
Most of the other operational elevator devices.

Examples of devices in a global (gateway) network connection [device ID = 128…255]:

Main data base

First backup data base
Most visualization devices such as Overviews and Visual configuration.

9.3.1. Group
Group Members:

1. Select all elevators in the same group, for example in the same zone of the building.
Default setting: No elevator selected, except own.

It is absolutely necessary and mandatory to check all GTM of one group as a group, otherwise the GTM does
not operate correctly.

Group Parking - Activity:

Select the required mode.

Off: No group parking activity. However, an elevator may park according to the
individual settings defined on the Lift tab.
On: Parking according to the settings below, such as parking to predefined floors
and/or statistical parking.
For each elevator that shall participate in group parking, set the individual activity
mode on the Lift tab to Group Parking. For elevators controlled via CCI, do not use
parking at all.
On while Timing active: Mode is set to On while the specified timing is active and set
to Off while the timing is not active.
On except Timing is active: Mode is set to On while the specified timing is not active
and set to Off while the timing is active.

Group Parking - Group Optimization:

Smaller values reduce the destination times and the number of intermediate stops, as
different elevators are likely to be used for different passengers.
Higher values reduce the waiting times and increase the number of intermediate stops,
as the same elevator is likely to be used for different passengers.
Recommended value: 50 ... 100 (Default value: 100).

With high values, the system may not have sufficient handling capacity during peak
hours.

Group Parking - Reduce Long Waits:

Long waiting times are avoided if possible, for example fewer calls will experience long
waiting, but more calls may experience average instead of small waiting times.
Higher values have a stronger effect.
Recommended value: 20 ... 100 (Default value: 20).

Not all long waits may be eliminated, but the probability will decrease.

16. Logger
A so called "logger task" logs important events into a file on disk. The logger file can later be used to analyze the whole elevator traffic with
the "Traffic Expert" application.

Preferrably, the logger task is stared on the PTDB if available. Alternatively, the logger task can be started on a PC.
On PTGs, no logger task can be started.
If no PTDB or PC are available, a statistics recorder can be started on a PTG.

On mainstation, start the logger on the backup PC, never on the master PC.

When a logger task is created, the logger normally creates one logger file per day.
Each logger file has the following name format: YYYY_MM_DD_VV.logger.sq3 (YY=year, MM=month, DD=day, VV=version).
The logger file version is incremented in case writing of the logger file fails and a new logging attempt is required.

The logger task is a local task. Therefore, one logger task per network cluster is required.
A network cluster is a network of interconnected iron components using "direct" iron drivers (non-gateway drivers).

On mainstation, start the logger on the backup PC, never on the master PC.
