Chapter 1 Introduction
Learning Learning Objective That's what it is about!
Objective Faced with a new product, the idea is:
Field Manual = work z To get to the heart of the new subject-matter
reference quickly
z To have an easy-to-use field reference manual
Course Manual = learning to improve efficiency on the job.
aid TC Ebikon produces Field and Course Manuals to
meet these needs. The Field Manual is designed
as a work reference whereas the Course Manual
is intended to be used in the classroom.
-

Concentrate on What is important, is to learn as much as possible about an unfamiliar product in an

the Field Manual efficient and easily understood manner. The Field Manual helps the trainee to use
his/her newly acquired knowledge with confidence in the field. To do this, it is
important to be familiar with checklists and the general structure of the Field
Manuals produced by the Training Center Ebikon.
-

Learning to use At the end of a training course or self-study, the learner should be able to find all
the Field Manual the information needed in the Field Manual.

The course (together with the Course Manual), provides all the necessary
theoretical information required to be successful on the job. The Field Manual
serves to put the information contained in the Course Manual into practice.
Therefore, it is vital to learn how to use the Field Manual.

Getting the most out of the Field Manual means:

z Adding notes to the manual to round it out according to field requirements.
z Asking questions in the course to improve and verify your own knowledge of
the Field Manual.
-

Making the most The Course Manual helps make learning easy. It is designed as an integral part
of the Course of the course and provides all the necessary theoretical background for the subject
Manual given.

To make the most of the manual, the following points have to be kept in mind:
z Course Manuals are divided into modules. They represent "learning
packages".
z Wherever possible, learning objectives are stated at the beginning of a
module. They give a general idea about the purpose of the module and
facilitate the learning process.
z The section headed `That's what it is about!' summarizes the main points
dealt with in the respective module. It provides an abstract about the
information contained in the module.
z The sub-headings and marginal notes also give an overview of the module's
contents. The marginal notes are the comments in the left-hand margin. They
indicate the main points in the individual sections of text and correspond to what
you would highlight with a felt pen.
z Read the marginal notes again after working through a module for the first time.
For the future, use the marginal notes for quick review.
z The modules follow a flexible pattern according to the complexity of the
contents. In shorter modules, the emphasis is directly on the information to be
conveyed. Longer modules are structured according to the following pattern:

Section 2-2 Scope of Application

Summary The product positioning philosophy divides this market into commodity, custom and
design segments.
-

Commodity The commodity segment is the price-driven mass market, characterized by low
Segment individuality and little brand loyalty. The requirements of this segment can be
fulfilled with few standard options.
-

Custom Segment Contrary to the commodity market segment, performance requirements and
availability of individual options are the key issues within the custom segment. The
most common customized options fall into three categories:
z Special car decoration
z Special control options, and
z Flexible shaft dimensions.
Often these variable requirements can be fulfilled with a pre-engineered product. In
this case, we talk about custom market segment. This segment requires high
performance and flexibility for project-specific customization at reasonable cost.

"Design" 2%

"Custom" 31 %

"Commodity" 67 %

Worldwide Volume Distribution

-

Design Segment The design segment requires products individually tailored for special projects, for
example round panoramic elevators and heavy industrial freight lifts. The picture
above illustrates the approximate shares of these segments of the total market in
units.
-

Positioning: Each product has its place in Schindler's product range - all products are targeted
Place for certain market segments. The market segments are based on customer needs.
Selling the wrong product in the wrong place causes disappointed and unsatisfied
customers.
Commodity products, especially the SchindlerSMART family, are developed to
compete with price in the price-sensitive, mainly residential basic and mid
requirement markets.
SchindlerEuroLift ® is the flexible allrounder, which covers mainly the mid and
high requirements in residential segment and all requirement levels in commercial,
transport and industrial segments.
Additionally SchindlerEuroLift ® is well suited for the basic requirement segment
when the dimensions of a commodity elevator do not fit the building (e.g.
replacements).

Positioning: Price is the most important element in product positioning. Price is also a very
Pricing efficient way of communicating the capabilities of a product - to both customers and
Schindler's sales force. The sales price needs to be based on market and
competitors' prices. Equally important is that within Schindler's own product range,
there is a clear logic to Schindler's pricing that can be simply explained to
Schindler's customers and sales force. The logic must be simple and compelling so
that customers can quickly understand the value they get. Pricing strategy for the
Schindler European product palette is illustrated in the chart below:

Section 2-5-1 Gearless Permanent Magnet Machine

Summary The gearless permanent magnet machine can be used for both steel and aramid
ropes. It is approximately one third the size of previous asynchronous motors and
requires roughly 40 percent less energy.
-

Application The SchindlerEuroLift ® product line only requires a few motor variants to cover
its scope of application. These variants differ in the size of the brake magnet and in
the stator length.
-

Location As standard, the gearless machine is installed in the headroom of the hoistway,
together with a frequency converter Variodyn VF22BR or VF33BR.
As an option, the machine can also be installed in a machine room. However,
machine room position below is not possible.
-

Design Compact design:

PMS230/PMA350 A minimum hoistway headroom HSK of 3300 mm (PMS) resp. 3400 mm (PMA) is
required for the machine and the frequency converter Variodyn VF22BR or
VF33BR.
Gearless synchronous motor with permanent magnet:
z High efficiency
z Less noise.
Brake system:
z The gearless machine PMS230 is equipped with an internal expanding brake
which acts directly on the traction sheave and is released using two
electromagnets.
z The gearless machine PMA350 is equipped with a disk brake which is released
using one electromagnet.
z Both brake systems fulfil the EN81 requirements for preventing the elevator car
from uncontrolled travel in both upward and downward direction.

Manual operation of the elevator in an emergency (e.g. power failure):

The brake is manually released from the top (or second-top) floor by means of a
bowden cable connected to the brake release lever in the control cabinet and to the
two levers at the machine.
-

Section 2-5-4 Absolute Encoder AGSI

Summary The absolute encoder differs from the increment pulse generator in so far as
different signal profiles are generated. Unlike the signal profile of the increment
pulse generator, the absolute encoder produces a specific bit pattern for every
angle increment. This "absolute" value does not require a reference procedure as
with the standard increment pulse generator. Based on the bit pattern of the AGSI,
the position of the car can be easily identified even after a power outage. This
characteristic makes the AGSI more reliable than previous encoder types.
