Overview & electrical data
The BR100 is the 32-bit mainboard of a Movilift manoeuvre controller. It runs calls, positioning, doors, the safety chain and drive control for hydraulic, geared and gearless lifts, up to 32 stops over the serial CAN bus.
- Supply: 14–24 VDC/AC ±10%
- Stabilized 12 VDC output for signalling
- Integrated 12 V battery charger
- Safety-chain inputs EXC / TOLT / CS at 24–110 VAC/DC
- Stores the last 100 diagnostic events
Programming keypad & modes
The board is set up from the on-board keypad and display, with three working modes:
- Programming — view and edit the configuration parameters through the tree menu.
- Maintenance — force movements and service functions during commissioning.
- Monitor — read live inputs, outputs, position and speed for diagnostics.
Hold ENTER for 3 seconds to clear a fault. Parameters are also reachable over the RS232 PC tool.
First start-up & shaft magnets
Before the first run the board learns the shaft. Position the slowdown and stop magnets, set the number of stops (parameter A2) and run the shaft Autolearning.
- Magnet layout differs for regular vs irregular inter-floor distances and for speeds below or above 1 m/s.
- The RS (up) and RD (down) re-levelling sensors and the IF / ICV stop sensors must be positioned correctly, or the board reports a positioning fault.
- Absolute positioning uses the BR-ENC board with a magnetic tape.
Doors
The BR100 drives automatic, semi-automatic and manual door operators, with independent open/close timing.
- Opening and closing times are set by parameters; parking behaviour keeps the doors held.
- Multiple accesses (single/double car entrance) are supported.
- Options include the retractable cam, door pre-opening and the CPP / APG limit monitoring used for EN 81-20/50 door-closed checks.
Plant & manoeuvre types
The board supports hydraulic and rope installations and the full Movilift manoeuvre set: universal, down-collective, full collective, simplex, and dispatch groups up to duplex / triplex / quadruplex, plus firefighters, hospital, rescue and Shabbat modes.
The manoeuvre and plant type are selected by parameter; up to 3 car and landing groups can be networked over the serial CAN bus.
EN 81-20/50 compliance
The BR100 implements the EN 81-20:2020 / EN 81-50:2020 safety functions, enabled by parameter C12.
- Reduced headroom / pit access detection (car-access and pit-access inputs) blocks movement and requires a keyed reset.
- Unintended Car Movement and door-monitoring contacts (CPP door-closed monitoring) are supervised.
- Absolute selector configuration with the BR-ENC board is described for compliant positioning.

Remedy: Check the ZP sensor and repeat the shaft learning.
Err 113Position overrun on the down run, ZP sensor not foundWarning
Encoder selector error (absolute encoder errors).
Cause: The car reaches the destination floor on the down run and passes the position learned during autolearning without ever finding the ZP sensor zone.

Encoder selector error (absolute encoder errors).
Cause: Synchronisation did not take place.
Remedy: Run the installation synchronisation.
Err 116Pulse count below the learned positionWarning
Encoder selector error (absolute encoder errors).
Cause: During travel the board meets a stopping sensor (ZP) and checks the pulses against the learned positions, within a margin of error. If they are below the expected value the board drops to low speed and stops at the first available floor.
Remedy: Check the encoder, the ZP sensors and the positions learned during shaft learning.
Err 117ZP sensor not readWarning
Encoder selector error (absolute encoder errors).
Cause: The ZP sensor was not read at the position the BR-ENC board learned during shaft learning.

Landing lock interruption error, raised during the first 4 attempts. The code identifies the floor: for example error 201 at floor 1.
Cause: Raised during the first three attempts to close the CS locks, while parked or on starting.
Remedy: Check the door safety contacts and the locks.
Err 240-250Safety module error during levellingWarning
Safety module error. Only active when parameter H9 = 1. The code varies with the floor where the event occurred (up to 10 floors).
Cause: During levelling, if the safety module is not in order the board does not realign to the floor but goes to reset instead, raising the error. The AR input must be active during open-door levelling.
Remedy: Check that the safety module is working.
Err 255No errorInfo
Null code: it means there is no error.
