Home Forums General Discussion Technical Questions Kone TMS 600 Showing Power Fail & Change Board

Hello,

I have Kone TMS 600 Mainboard , the leds of Power Fail & Change board is active
i think there is a problem with the EEPROM IC ,Does anyone have
this part working and can send me the data inside it .
And where can i buy a new EEPROM containing the same data?

Which chip is bad? I can help you with that. There is a 4 meg EPROM on the board and 2 meg Communication Chip & an NVRAM.
If your in the USA PM me a phone number.

There is no EE on that board.

Hello, Rolly
This is the board i have

That is a standard TMS 600 CPU board. The top chip on the far right of the 3 is NVRAM. The next chip to the left is the RAM chip, The 3rd chip is the Program chip, a 4meg EPROM.
The empty sockets are optional chips.
The chip on the bottom is a 2meg EPROM. (Communication) The Battery backed ram chip (NVRAM) stores all your parameters.

Get a better picture of chip labels and I will tell you if I have that software.

Here is a clear view of the chip part

Will look today but I think I may have that software.. It is revision 1.0 What speed is this car?

Do you mean the elevator speed?
I'm not sure about that.

Software is written for 1, 2, 4,or 8 Meters per second.

1=up to 200 fpm
2=up to 400 fpm
4=up to 800 fpm
8=up to 1600 fpm

I see, it's written as "R = 1.0" on the chip.
Should i confirm from another source?

That is the software revision number.. Is it a geared or gearless? The A3 & A6 Boards in the drive determine how fast the car can go along with the software. Look at the Gov or crosshead data tag and see what car speed is supposed to be.

Hello, Rolly

I couldn't figure what the speed of the car is.
Can you check which type of the software you have, and if it possible i will try to modify it.

Sorry have to know the speed..are you an Elevator Tech and what country are you in?

Egypt, i received the Board with a fault, and I'm just trying to fix it.
I don't have a strong knowledge about elevators, unlike you.

I won't give you software that has a potential for an accident or getting someone hurt. You being a board repair facility should have an EPROM programmer and if you can read the chips, software is usually not the problem. A bad TMS 600 power supply can also cause the problem.

In looking at the files, the communication EPROM can possibly be a 1 meg EPROM. The newer software has a 2 meg communication chip.

I checked the power part, it has no problem.
The software read by the programmer seemed corrupted in some parts of it(need to confirm that), that's why i needed to check from a healthy one.
I also tried the removable chips in another board and gave me the same result.
So the problem is most likely related to the software.
However, I understand your desire to provide the 100% correct software and i appreciate that, so i will wait for the reply from the guys running the whole system about the speed and the specification of the Elevator.

Hello, Rolly

The speed of the car is 1 meter per second.

That's a slow car.. 200fpm max. Is it a freight car or passenger? I think I have software for a 1mps passenger job.
