Application Note
1.0 The Purpose of this Document
Doors32 software can be used for basic elevator control. For small elevator applications it can be a
very cost-effective elevator control solution. However, the following caveats apply when using
Doors32 software for elevator control.
• No more than 16 floors can be controlled (up to eight PXL-250 Controllers, each with an SB-
293 Satellite Board - each controller/satellite combination controls two floors).
• One reader in the elevator car controls access for all floors. This reader is attached to all antenna
inputs at all controllers assigned to a floor. This wiring scheme results in the one reader being
responsible for access requests for all floors.
• The reader's read range is reduced, possibly up to 25%, due to the reader signal being shared
between multiple antenna inputs.
• The reader's LED and beeper must not be wired. A rider in the elevator car may be allowed
access to some floors, but not all floors, and the single reader (driven by multiple controllers) is
unable to differentiate between controllers that are granting access to a floor and controllers that
are not granting access to a floor.
• User card presentation to the reader is critical. To ensure that all controllers have the opportunity
to respond to a card read, the card must be presented to the reader for a greater period of time
(perhaps up to 2 seconds). This allows all antenna inputs on all controllers the time necessary to
respond to the card.
For elevator control, the following hardware and software requirements must be met.
• The master PXL-250 controller must be at firmware revision 6.3.42 or greater (for best
operation, all controllers on the network should be at this firmware revision or greater).
• The PIC on all elevator controllers must be at revision 1.08 or greater (for best operation, all
controllers on the network should be at this PIC revision or greater).
• The Doors32 software must be at revision 3.42 or greater.
• All satellite boards must be configured for two door control (JP-12 OFF).
NOTE: This document is written to support existing PXL-250 Tiger Controller panels in elevator
control applications and does not cover using the LC-202 and LC-208 Elevator Control Panels. The
LC-202 and LC-208 Elevator Control Panels are covered in their own document: LC-202/LC-208
Elevator Control Panel Quick Start Guide (P/N 01879-001).
