1 Introduction
In this project a drive for operating an escalator is designed. In order to do this, the esca-
lator in Simulink is first modeled. This model is used to calculate the minimum parame-
ters of the motor needed in order to meet the supplied requirement specification of the
escalator:
The escalator shall be able to take one person per step, each person weighing
100 kg
The escalator shall be able to operate in both the upwards and downwards
directions
The PPU shall be designed so that regenerative braking is possible
The escalator speed shall be 1.3 m/s and shall be able to accelerate from
standstill to rated speed in 6.5 s.
The escalator has a sensor that detects when no persons are riding the escalator.
The escalator speed is then reduced to 0.2 m/s. The escalator accelerates to 1.3
m/s when someone steps onto the escalator – this acceleration should take 5.5 s.
Based on the calculated minimum parameters a DC motor from the ABB datasheet is
chosen and Power Processing Unit and a control system for the drive are designed. Fi-
nally, entire system is simulated in Simulink and that the drive meets the requirement
specification is confirmed.

2 Design of drive system
In this chapter the drive system for the escalator is designed. Picture of the escalator is
shown in Figure 1. Escalator has to fulfill following requirements:
The escalator height difference is 5 m
The escalator angle is 25°
The height difference between steps is 25 cm
The escalator width is 1 m
Each step has a weight of 20 kg
The four horizontal sections of the escalator are each 3 steps long and the two
drums each take 6 steps around half of their circumference
The drums around which the escalator turns are made as a hollow cylinders with
an outer radius of 50 cm and an inner radius of 49 cm (spokes and hubs can be
neglected). The drum material is steel. Other drums and rollers than the two
large ones can be neglected.
The gear’s inertia is
Friction can be neglected

2.1 Modeling the load
2.1.1 Inertia of load
First inertia of load is defined. Inertia of drums can be calculated by using equations for
hollow cylinder. With outer radius r2, inner radius r1, height h and density ρ it can be
described as
(
) (1)
The density of steel varies depending on the alloy, and is usually between 7750 and
8050 kg/m3. For simplicity, we assume the density to be 8000kg/m
3. This gives the fol-
lowing inertia per drum:
(( ) ( ) ) (2)
Next inertia of steps is defined. Number of steps in each slanted region is
(3)
and total number of steps is
(4)
All of the steps are connected to the outside of the drum, and it gives the following iner-
tia

Total inertia of load is then

Inertia seen in motor side is

2.1.2 Load Torque
The load torque is a result of the weight of the passengers. In accordance with the given
specification, we assume each person to weigh 100 kg. The force on the belt works in a
65 degree angle relative to the force of gravity, so the torque is
( )
(8)
Since there is only room for 20 persons on the slanted region, the maximum load torque
is

The maximum load torque seen from the motor side is
(10)
2.1.3 Simulink model
Simulink model for the load is shown in Figure 2. Its outputs are load torque and system
inertia seen in motor side. Inertia of whole system equals sum of inertia of load, gear
and motor.

Figure 3 shows Simulink model for Subsystem. It models constant load inertia and load
torque which depends on number of passengers.

2.2 Design of motor
2.2.1 Selecting motor
Motor is chosen by using ABB’s DC Motors, type DMR, motor catalogue. At Table 1
can be seen calculated motor requirements for every motor. Moment of inertia of motor
is placed on the first column. Optimum gear ratio is defined as
√
(11)
Because torque in this ratio would be very small, the optimum ratio reduced by 20 % is
used. Maximum torque, speed and power are defined as
( ) (12)
(13)
and
(14)
Motor has to be able to rotate both direction and this decreases the motor output a bit.
Reduction factors are given in motor catalogue and they have been taken account when
the actual motor requirements has been calculated.

Table 1 Calculated motor requirements for every motor
By comparing calculated values and technical data of motors the smallest and also the
cheapest motor DMR 112 SN-473P with speed 2080 rpm and moment of inertia 0.05
kgm2 has been selected. Data sheet for the motor can be seen in Appendix 1. Large gear
ratio (75.21) increases cost of gear but this has not been taken account in this case.
Nominal values of selected motor are seen on Table 2.

2.3 Design of control system
2.3.1 Design of power processing unit
Fullbridge DC-DC converter seen in Figure 5 is chosen to control the motor. Four
eupec’s BSM 50 GB DLC IGBT-modules work as switches. Data sheet for modules is
seen in Appendix 2. Bipolar pulse width modulation (PWM) is used to control the
output. Modulation method consists of two signals: triangle waveform and control
voltage. Signals are compared together and switches are turned on and off in pairs. One
8
pair of switches, (T1, T3) or (T2, T4), is always on and output voltage gets either value
+VD or –VD. The average output voltage is defined as
(26)
Figure 5 Fullbridge DC-DC converter
Switching frequency, amplitude of triangle waveform and constant input voltage are
chosen to be fs=300 Hz, Vtri=5 V and VD=200 V. The transfer function of PPU is

3 RESULTS
Escalator needs to operate in both directions. Escalator speed is 1.3 m/s and it is able to
accelerate from standstill to rated speed in 6.5 s. The escalator is equipped with sensor,
which detects if there is not any person riding the escalator. Without load escalator re-
duces its speed to 0.2 m/s. The escalator accelerates to 1.3m/s when someone steps onto
the escalator. Acceleration should take place within 5.5 s. This case is shown in Figure
9.
Figure 9 Reference speed Figure 10 Actual speed of escalator
It is assumed that the escalator is starting from the standstill and it accelerates to 1.3m/s
in 6.5s. Then it starts to move with the constant speed. On 15th
second the sensor senses
the escalator is empty and reduces the speed to 0.2 s. On 25th
second, after sensing that
person has stepped to the escalator, it accelerates to 1.3m/s again in 5.5s. The motor is
working on forward direction during acceleration and regenerative braking mode during
deceleration. The speed curve is seen in Figure 10. Reference speed and actual speed for
the reverse direction are seen in Figures 11 and 12.

tion
In Figure 13 are shown the graph between speed, voltage and the current during forward
direction.
Figure 13 Speed, current and voltage during forward direction
Here during accelerating the current is positive and voltage is positive (forward motor-
ing) and during deceleration (reverse direction) the current is in negative direction but
voltage is still positive (regenerative braking). For the reverse direction shown in the
Figure 14, during accelerating the current is positive and voltage is negative and during
deceleration the current is positive but voltage is still negative. This means motor is
working regenerative braking mode. This is because weight of passengers is now accel-
erating speed of the escalator and it has to brake to be able to stay in desirable speed.

4 Conclusion
From the results, we can see that the chosen motor, DMR 112 SN-473P, is able to meet
the supplied requirement specification with the drive we designed. Whether this motor
is indeed the best (cheapest) choice, is not possible to determine when we do not know
the price of the motor or the gears. Generally, a smaller motor will be cheaper, but will
require a larger gear ratio, which will increase the cost of the gears.
Due to a large Ki relative to Kp in both the current and speed regulator, we can see
some oscillations in the step response. This is most prominent in the current curve, but
can also be seen in the speed curve with a high zoom. Since the maximum amplitude of
the oscillations in speed is 2 mm/s and the oscillations die out within a tenth of a se-
cond, this will not be noticeable for the passengers.
We see that the motor is able to work in regenerative braking mode. This is particularly
advantageous when the escalator is being run in reverse, where (due to our neglection of
friction) the motor is running in regenerative braking mode the entire time it is not idle,
and the escalator is actually generating electric power instead of consuming it. This is
because the force of gravity on the passengers is more than enough to run the escalator,
and the motor is needed to slow their descent.
If we had considered friction in our model of the load (this was not part of the assign-
ment), the results would have been somewhat different. With our model, the current is
zero when the motor is running in idle mode. In the real world, there would of course
need to be some current flowing in order to provide the necessary torque to cancel out
the effect of friction.
