THE COMPACT LIFT CONTROL MODULE
It is extremely compact and at the same time, it can easily keep up with the ‘big ones’. The bp408 lift control module's high level of functionality makes it suitable for universal use in various individual lift system applications.
Key features of the control system:
- Compact, high-quality design
- Universally applicable
- Easy to use
- Reliable and comprehensive software
Areas of application
The central element of a lift system is the controller, which monitors and regulates the complex system – for the safe transport of people and goods. The bp408 control module is characterised by its compact design and wide range of functions, which enable it to be used in both traction and hydraulic systems in all common installation locations:
- Door frame
- Control cabinet for machine room-less systems
- Machine room control cabinet
Key facts
- Compact form factor
- Type tested safety circuit in accordance with EN 81-20/-50
- Can be used in traction and hydraulic systems
- Sophisticated group algorithm without separate controller
- Supports all types of shaft and cabin doors
- Integrated interfaces: CANopen LIFT, DCP, USB, Ethernet
- Supports absolute positioning systems (linear and rotary encoders)
- Supports Safety Position Units (PSU)
Lift control module bp408 – One system covers all applications
MODULAR EXTENSION
The bp408 control module is the next generation of the well-proven bp control concept from Schmersal Böhnke+Partner. The flexibility to meet the highest customer demands is supported by the established additional modules.
CIO – CANopen input/output module
The CIO module can be used to expand the bp408 control system by 32 additional inputs, outputs or calls.
CLK – CANopen car control board
The CLK car control board offers a wide range of options for car installations with 16 inputs, 8 outputs, 8 calls and 7 relays.
CLE – CANopen control board extension
With the CLE extension board, the CLK car control board can be extended by 32 inputs, outputs or calls.
CSI – CANopen serial interface
The CSI module is a CANopen bus node used to connect two bus lines.
CAP – CANopen landing call panel
The CAP is used to control landing call panels via the CANopen bus.
CBS – CANopen landing call panel
Works like the CAP, but is much smaller
CWI – CANopen wireless interface
The CWI module, in conjunction with the WinMOS®300 PC software or the WinMOS®300 app, enables wireless connection to the control system for operation using a PC or mobile phone.
