Smartrise SRU Board Programming Instructions

Document History

Replacing and Programming a SRU Board

Smartrise SRU boards are backward compatible. Revision 8 boards can replace all prior revisions. The primary consideration during replacement is ensuring the new board has the same Input/Output (IO) configuration as the existing board.

• Revision 8 boards can replace all previous board revisions (Revision 5-7).
• Revision 5-7 boards can replace any board up to Revision 7. They are not recommended for replacing Revision 8 boards due to Revision 8 having 16 additional inputs and 8 additional outputs.

IO List for SRU Boards per Revision:

• Revision 5-7: Inputs 501-532, Outputs 601-616
• Revision 8: Inputs 501-548, Outputs 601-624

Access Code

Some software versions require an access code upon initial power-up. The access code is “XFFFF” or “X0000”. To enter the code, press and hold the UP arrow button on the SRU board until the display shows “XFFFF” or “X0000”, then press the enter key.

[Image: Screenshot showing the 'Enter access code' prompt with 'X0000' entered and an arrow pointing to the 'Enter' button.]

Tips to Preserve Settings During Board Replacement

To preserve job settings (Slowdowns, Floor Levels, Parameters, etc.) when the Machine Room (MR) SRU fails, the following methods can be used:

• Replace the MR SRU with either a CT or a COP board.
• Replace the MR board that still powers on.

Swapping the MR SRU board:

1. Replace the MR board with the existing CT or COP board.
2. Power up the replacement board and reprogram the CT or COP board as the MR board.
3. Install the new board as the CT or COP board and program it accordingly.

Replacing the MR SRU board (preserving settings):

1. Power down the controller.
2. Remove the CAT5 pigtail from the MR SRU NET port.
3. Connect the MR SRU to a new CT SRU board using a standard CAT5 cable (NET port to NET port).
4. Power up the controller.
5. Wait approximately 15 minutes for parameters to download to the new CT SRU.
6. Power down the controller. Replace the MR SRU with the new CT SRU (do not reconnect the previously removed CAT5 pigtail).
7. Reprogram the CT SRU as the new MR SRU.
8. Connect the CAT5 pigtail.

The settings from the old MR SRU will transfer to the new boards, allowing the car to operate with the original settings.

CT or COP boards can be replaced at any time; they will retrieve settings from the MR board upon power-up.

USB Debug Adapter

To program an SRU board, you will need:

• Smartrise Programming Pod (USB Debug Adapter).
• A fully charged laptop with up-to-date software. Older versions may cause compatibility issues.
• Job-specific software, provided by Smartrise either on a flash drive included in the job binder or via an online software link. Contact Smartrise if the software is unavailable.

Replace a Functioning MR SRU Board for a Newer Revision Without Losing Settings

Follow these steps to replace a functioning MR SRU board without losing settings:

1. Remove the CAT5 pigtail from the MR SRU NET. This cable connects the MR SRU to the existing CT SRU.[Diagram: Showing an MR SRU board with a CAT5 cable being removed.]
2. Connect a standard CAT5 cable from the MR SRU NET port to the new SRU NET port. This enables communication and power to the new SRU board.[Diagram: Illustrating a CAT5 cable connecting an MR SRU to a new SRU programmed as CT.]
3. Program the new SRU board as the CT SRU board.
4. Cycle power to the new CT SRU board by temporarily unplugging the CAT5 cable. The new CT SRU board will download existing parameters from the MR SRU board in approximately 15 minutes.
5. Once parameters are transferred, unplug the CAT5 cable and remove the original MR SRU board.
6. Install the new CT SRU in place of the original MR SRU board and reprogram it as the MR SRU.[Diagram: Showing a CT SRU being replaced by an MR SRU.]
7. Reinstall the CAT5 pigtail from the DIN rail to the MR SRU NET to re-establish communication between the MR SRU and the original CT SRU.[Diagram: Showing the CAT5 cable reconnected to the MR SRU.]

Replace a Non-Functioning MR SRU Without Losing Settings

Follow these steps to replace a non-functioning MR SRU without losing settings:

1. Remove the MR SRU.[Diagrams: Showing an MR SRU marked for removal, and separate images of CT SRU and COP SRU boards.]
2. Move the CT SRU to the machine room.[Diagram: Illustrating a CT SRU being moved.]
3. Reprogram the CT SRU as the MR SRU.
4. Install the new CT SRU.[Diagrams: Showing an MR SRU, a CT SRU being installed, and a COP SRU.]
5. The car is ready to run.[Diagrams: Showing MR SRU, CT SRU, and COP SRU boards, indicating successful operation.]
