Kone LCE (LCE being short for Lift Controller Electrification), sometimes known as the LCECPU, is a microprocessor elevator controller produced from the late 1990s to present.

History

The first LCE controller was released soon after the original Kone MonoSpace to replace the TMS 50 controller, and has been the standard controller for most Kone EcoDisc-based elevators since, including Kone MonoSpace/EcoSpace, MiniSpace/Highrise MiniSpace and Kone TranSys, though it can also be used on modernisations.

Unlike Traffic Master System (TMS), serial communication is highly adopted in LCE system, including car and landing signalisations, door and drive control etc, instead of parallel communication which is majorly used on TMS.

Features

  • Regenerative Drive
  • Announciator Control Unit (ACU, with either ACU F or ACU I) automated voices[1] for accessible elevators.

LCE controllers used with EcoDisc

LCE controllers used with EcoDiscs do not have distinct series names, but can be divided into generations:

  • First Generation (1996-2005): Controller and variable-frequency drive are separated (V3F16). Equipped with heat resistors (doesn't provide Regenerative Drive functions).
  • Second Generation (2005-2012): Controller and variable-frequency drive are combined (V3F18 or V3F25). Regenerative Drive functions provided.
  • Third Generation (2012-present): Controller and variable-frequency drive are separated again (Vacon KR6 or Vacon KR7). Regenerative Drive functions provided.

ReSolve 40

ReSolve 40 is a series of Kone LCE for modernisations in Asia Pacific. It can be used on elevators whose speed is between 0.15 m/s and 2 m/s, travel up to 90 metres and/or 32 floors, and start less than or equal to 180 times per hour. It can be used as a two-speed logic with blind V3F drive, with an intelligent V3F drive (only available if the motor is a Kone MR12 or MR17 motor, or an EcoDisc) or with hydraulics.[2]

Resolve 200

ReSolve 200 is a series of Kone LCE for modernisations in Europe. It can be used on elevators with a speed between 0.1 m/s (hydraulic)/0.3 m/s (traction) and 1 m/s, travel 8 (hydraulic)/16 (traction) floors and/or 30 m (hydraulic)/70 m (traction) and operate with 3 elevators in a set.[3]

ReGenerate 200

ReGenerate 200 is a series of Kone LCE for modernisations in Europe. Unlike ReSolve 200, the motor is typically replaced with an EcoDisc of the NMX series (NMX 08 or NMX 11). Capacities can range from 325 to 1,100 kilograms, subject to whether 1:1 or 2:1 roping is used and/or the limitations of the EcoDisc used.[4]

Resolve 400

ReSolve 400 is a series of Kone LCE for modernisations in Europe. It can be used on elevators with a speed between 1 m/s (traction) and 2.5 m/s, travel 32 floors and/or 100 metres and operate with 3 elevators in a set.[3]

ReGenerate 400

ReGenerate 400 is a series of Kone LCE for modernisations in Europe. Unlike ReSolve 400 but similarly to ReGenerate 200, the motor is typically replaced with an EcoDisc of the MX series (MX 14 or MX 18). Capacities can range from 1,150 to 2,050 kilograms, subject to whether 1:1 or 2:1 roping is used and/or speed and/or the limitations of the EcoDisc used.[4]

ReSolve 800

ReSolve 800 is a series of Kone LCE for high-rise modernisations. It can be used on elevators with up to 7.0 m/s speed (for DC motors)/6.0 m/s speed (AC V3F motors), 63 floors and 250 metres travel height.[5]

ReGenerate 800

ReGenerate 800 is a series of Kone LCE for high-rise modernisations. Unlike ReSolve 800, the motor is typically replaced with an EcoDisc (up to MX 40), but can travel up to 400 metres, subject to the limitations of the EcoDisc motor used.[6]
