- Multi-level torque sensitivity adjustment
- Instant reverse on obstacle detection (<100ms response)
- Battery backup option for power-fail safety
For elevator applications, the gate knife distance learning function precisely calibrates the engagement point between car door and landing door. This ensures smooth, synchronized operation and eliminates the jolt common in poorly adjusted systems—critical for passenger comfort in high-end installations.
- Automatic gate knife position detection
- Synchronized car/landing door operation
- Reduced mechanical wear and noise
The FST-100 automatically identifies door system inertia—measuring operating kinetic energy, friction forces, and self-closing forces. It then dynamically adjusts output torque to maintain smooth motion throughout the entire travel, compensating for temperature changes, wear, and varying door weights.
- Real-time friction and inertia calculation
- Automatic torque compensation
- Consistent performance over system lifetime
Control via digital I/O or serial communication (RS-485 Modbus RTU). Connect to elevator controllers, building automation systems, or standalone push buttons. The flexible interface supports open collector and push-pull encoder signals for both AC and PM motors.

Bottom line: While general VFDs like FST-500 or FST-650L can run door motors, they lack the specialized door logic, safety functions, and learning capabilities essential for modern door systems. FST-100 is purpose-built for doors—delivering faster installation, better safety, and superior performance at a competitive price.
Compared to Monarch NICE-D-A-SOP2, STEP SM-01-DP, and Yaskawa L1000A (door mode), the FST-100 offers comparable door control performance with more flexible motor support (both AC and PM) and easier commissioning. The one-click learning function reduces setup time by 80% compared to manual parameter entry systems.

Yes, FST-100 is designed as a drop-in replacement for Monarch NICE-D-A-SOP2, STEP SM-01-DP, and other popular elevator door drives. It supports the same I/O interfaces and offers superior learning functions. We provide wiring conversion guides to simplify retrofit installations. The dual motor support (AC + PM) offers more flexibility than many competitor drives.
Speed control mode uses frequency commands (0-99Hz) to control door speed—simple and effective for basic applications. Distance control mode uses encoder feedback for precise position control, enabling advanced features like partial opening, exact floor leveling, and nudging. Most elevator applications benefit from distance mode, while simple gates often use speed mode. You can switch modes via parameter setting.
Not necessarily—FST-100 works in open-loop mode (magnetic flux vector) without encoder for basic applications. However, for distance control mode and precise positioning, an ABZ incremental encoder is required. The encoder can be open collector or push-pull type. We recommend encoders for elevator doors and precision applications, while simple gates can run encoderless.
Press the learning button (or send learning command via communication), and FST-100 automatically runs the door through full open/close cycles while measuring travel distance, friction, and inertia. It then calculates optimal S-curve profiles with appropriate acceleration, deceleration, and creep speeds. The entire process takes 2-3 minutes and eliminates manual parameter tuning—saving hours of commissioning time.
FST-100 includes EN81-20 compliant safety functions including obstacle detection, power-off anti-pinch, and torque monitoring. The drive itself carries CE certification. For complete elevator system certification, ensure your installation meets local regulations regarding control system architecture and safety circuits. We provide technical documentation to support certification processes.
Yes, FST-100 is rated for high-duty cycle operation with 150% overload capacity and robust thermal design. For extreme applications like subway platform doors with 1,000+ cycles/day, we recommend the FST-100-0R4S2 or FST-100-0R7S2 with forced air cooling. The built-in protection functions and durable design ensure reliable 24/7 operation.
