KONE ReSolve 20 – The complete and reliable modernisation solution

KONE’s leading-edge technology provides you with the latest modernisation package for geared

elevators up to 1.78 metres per second (350 feet per minute), for group sizes of 6 cars, serving 32 floors.

Utilising the same advanced serial transmission technology and core processing computer common

across the KONE ReSolve range, the KONE ReSolve 20 has a powerful drive processor enabling higher

speeds and more complex and demanding drive requirements to be met. The Local Area Network

architecture provides the benefit of distributed intelligence throughout the entire elevator.

The KONE ReSolve 20 system utilises the latesttechnology to ensure that the optimum reliabilityand performance is achieved, with the centralcomputer carrying out over 100 self-checks everysecond. Thanks to it’s Local Area Networkarchitecture and Serial Transmission, KONE ReSolve20 can isolate localised faults, such as stuck pushbuttons and burnt signalisation fuses, maintainingelevator service whilst isolating the faulty area. Forsuch an advanced system, KONE ReSolve 20 has theadded advantage of significantly fewer cables in theelevator shaft. Modernising your elevator withKONE ReSolve 20 substantially increases reliability,as well as offering flexible features and options.

Safer Passenger Access:Consistent levelling accuracy with Innovative BAR Reading

Elevators controlled by KONE Resolve 20 are assured of safe and consistent levelling due to thesophisticated BAR position measuring system. A three channel reader enables a precise "map" of theelevator shaft to be made, virtually eliminating stop errors due to position measuring and drivedecision delays. The powerful processing capacity of the KONE BAR system and the large amount ofinformation it manages are finalised by a KONE patented algorithm, which extends loadcompensation from normal speed right through to the levelling phase.

Higher Speeds, Flexible Arrangements:Flux vector control enhances performance and safety

For applications greater than 1.0 metre per second (200 feet per minute), a flux vector inverterdrive directly controls the current (torque) of the motor, ensuring that absolute floor levelling ismaintained at all times. Short floor-to-floor distances, as are sometimes present with front and reardoor configurations, are also possible.

Further options for enhanced comfort:The following options can easily be included with KONE ReSolve 20 for a price supplement:

> KoneXion™ Voice Link and Remote Data Monitoringof your elevator, linked to the KONE Service Centre24 hours a day, 7 days a week

> Options such as Main Floor Parking and AdvancedDoor Opening, which can reduce average waiting times

> Corridor illumination control; the entrance hall lights areautomatically turned on to ensure users have a safeentrance to and exit from the lift

> To improve disabled access within the building, voice enunciators, other acoustic aids and specific lift car control panels can be provided

Economically Convenient: Reduced Power Consumption

KONE Variable Voltage andVariable Frequency Drive

KONE inverters are the optimal solution for all traction elevatorsin either Commercial or Residential applications. The inverteradjusts and maintains the rotational speed of the motor in accordancewith the load and relative to the car position from floor level, thusovercoming the limitation of AC motor performance:

> Reduction in power consumption : from 4,000 to 2,650 kWh per year for a 630 kg, 1.0 m/s elevator making 150,000 starts per year

> Reduction in main fuses size, from 25 Amps to 16 Amps and accordingly the related fixed electrical costs

> Smooth and consistent ride comfort> Unique levelling accuracy integrated with Car Position Closed Loop,

thanks to the KONE BAR reading system> Suitable for the modernisation of all geared traction elevators> Reduction in the wear of the elevator ropes, sheave and brake SPEED (M/S)

Door System Solutions:Retaining or Replacing withKONE ReSolve 20KONE ReSolve 20 will enhance the standard ofperformance when interfaced with existing types of doorsystems. All power-operated types are supported, with aninnovative inverter control unit utilised to improve theperformance, efficiency and safety of existing AC motordriven types. Individually selective door control forelevator cars with front and rear openings is also availableto increase passenger comfort and improve overallelevator efficiency. However, for optimum performanceand safety standards, consideration may also be given tothe modernisation of the elevator door system withmodular KONE ReNova MMS door packages.

Elevator Groups:KONE ReSolve 20 Traffic HandlingExpertiseKONE ReSolve 20 group control is suitable for elevator group sizesfor 1 to 6 cars, up to a maximum of 32 floors. The group controlsystem provides building-specific flexibility, with on-site adjustablefunctions and sophisticated calculation techniques to automaticallyadapt elevator group operation according to the prevailingpassenger traffic situations, minimising both passenger waiting andtravel times. Special group operational features are also availablewith KONE ReSolve 20; such as prioritising individual floors,optimising call handling across elevators serving different floorswithin the same group and security locking of car / landing calls.

Signalisation:Visual Appearance Considerations

All existing types of signalisation can be satisfactorily interfaced to KONE ReSolve 20. However,when modernising with KONE ReSolve 20, not only will your elevator be given a facelift byupgrading the signalisation with modular KONE ReVive MMS signalisation packages, butclear installation time and price benefits will be realised.

Don’t call us, we will call you!With KoneXion™, your elevator is linked round the clockwith the KONE Service Centre. Thanks to its intelligentdiagnostic capabilities, KoneXion™ immediately reportsanomalies. Work can be completed and equipment returnedto service without users even realising that a problem existed.

In the same situation, we can even inform you when anincident is in progress, before you are aware there is aproblem!

If passengers are trapped in the elevator, with KoneXion™

they can talk directly to the Service Operator, and be informedof the estimated arrival time of the technician.

Even less downtime: NonStop™ InstallationOur user-friendly NonStop™ installation methods, considerably reduce the down time required for Modernisationprojects. When more than one working day is required, KONE has proven methods that put the elevator backinto service in either the working hours (commercial applications) or non-working hours (residential applications)as much as possible. Thus the building users or residents can forget the stairs and utilise the elevator during eitherthe day or night as appropriate.

Audited Working Methods: SafeMethod InstallationKONE ReSolve 20 electrification systems are based on a clearly defined installation process that has been thoroughlyrisk assessed by an independent third party. The expertise of the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health(Työterveyslaitos), which is an approved EU Notified Body, has been incorporated into the product installationmethod planning. The proven installation methodology greatly enhances safety through careful planning of tasksand work in the varied environment of an occupied building.

This is made possible by the modular nature of the KONEReSolve 20 package, including the installation-friendly shaftbundles, which are designed to allow fitting alongside theexisting shaft wiring. Accurate surveying and ISO9001 quality-controlled manufacturing mean that the bundle is packed insuch a way as to allow the installation engineer to preciselyfollow a pre-defined installation process. This minimisesinstallation time and maximises the control of the installationoperation and associated safety.
