Schindler Miconic is a series of elevator and escalator control system produced by Schindler since the 1970s. It is a microprocessor control system for almost all types of Schindler elevators, from low-rise to high-rise applications. It is also used in Schindler escalators as well. Miconic is a successor of Schindler's Elconic and Hospitomat, both of which are microprocessor controls released in 1974.

Versions and application

The first Miconic control was Miconic E, which was a 1-bit microprocessor control released in 1975. Later, Schindler launched Miconic B in 1978 and Miconic V (Dynatron, also available as V T6 and V T12) in 1980, which is a 16-bit microprocessor control. Schindler also made other versions of Miconic such as Miconic BX, C, D, GX, LX, SX, TX and VX. There is also Miconic TX-GC/TX-GC2, which was launched in 1998 for high-rise applications worldwide. Miconic TX-GC is used on Schindler 500, 700 and 7000 elevators.

Schindler also makes Miconic MX-GC since the 2000s. This controller is used in Schindler 100 P, 300 P, EuroLift, Elegant MRL, 5400 AP and 5500 elevators. There is also Miconic 10-GC, which was also used in Schindler 300 P elevators, possibly as an option. Not much is known about Miconic 10-GC.

In North America, Schindler made several versions of Miconic such as Miconic GX, HX, HXpress, TX and TXpress. Miconic GX is used on the Schindler 400 A elevators, while Miconic HX is used on Schindler 330A elevators. Miconic HXpress is used for modernization of older hydraulic elevators. Miconic TX is for mid to high-rise traction elevators, which can be provided with Variodyn ACVF or solid state SCR DC drive. It is used on Schindler 6400 NA and  American Schindler 7000 elevators. The modernization version for older traction elevators is most likely called TXpress. The Miconic V control system was also used in the United States, which was brought by Schindler Haughton in the 1980s and was used in Schindler Haughton elevators. It was based on Texas instrument systems.

Miconic F is used in Schindler escalators and moving walks since 1990. It is now the standard control system for the Schindler 9300AE and Schindler 9700 escalators, as well as Schindler 9500 moving walks.
