The Alpha Lykos Controller is a hydraulic elevator controller designed for flexibility and ease of maintenance, providing qualified technicians with the flexibility to install, service and maintain the equipment without reliance on proprietary software or specialized service tools. The Lykos controller is designed to interface seamlessly with a wide range of soft starters, contactors, and valves, providing flexibility for integration with various system configurations.
This open design helps reduce lifecycle costs while ensuring long-term supportability. The controller incorporates a streamlined hardware design that minimizes the number of components and unique replacement parts, improving system reliability while reducing spare parts inventory and maintenance requirements.
A universal circuit board with a built-in LCD display is utilized throughout the machine room (MR), car top (CT), and car operating panel (COP), provides real-time system status, diagnostics, fault history, and programming capabilities, allowing technicians to quickly perform system adjustments and troubleshoot issues without the need for external programming devices. Also, allowing common replacement boards to be used across multiple locations, simplifying troubleshooting and reducing inventory costs.
The controller's optimized design reduces overall wire count, resulting in cleaner installations, simplified field wiring, shorter installation times, and improved long-term serviceability. The control system also incorporates an absolute position landing system, delivering precise floor positioning, improved ride quality, and consistent landing accuracy without the need for frequent recalibration.
