Floor Stops

Floor Stop List & Validate Sequence​

Screen Overview​

The Floor Stop List screen in BluSKY is used to manage elevator floor stop configuration and to validate relay/contact sequences for elevator cars. From this page you can create new floor stop entries, launch a validation check for a specific car, and expand the list view. The Validate Sequence page guides you through selecting a System, Facility, and Elevator Car, then checks the car’s relay/contact sequence and presents proposed changes to commit or discard.

Field Definitions​

Field LabelDefinitionNotes
SystemDropdown to select the elevator control system to work with.Required before running sequence validation. Filters available Facilities and Cars.
FacilityDropdown to choose the building/facility within the selected System.Required before Elevator Car can be selected.
Elevator CarDropdown to select the specific elevator car to validate.Becomes selectable after Facility is chosen; list is filtered to the chosen Facility.
Floor Stops CountRead-only indicator showing the number of floor stop records in the list.Appears on the Floor Stop List page; updates as criteria/filters change.
CriteriaToggle to show/hide list filtering options.Exact filters vary by deployment; used to refine Floor Stop List results.

Screen Actions and Functions​

  • Create – Opens the form to add a new floor stop entry.
  • Validate Sequence – Opens the Validate Sequence page to check a car’s relay/contact sequence and optionally commit suggested changes.
  • Expand – Expands the Floor Stop List view to maximize workspace.
  • Check Car – Runs validation for the selected System, Facility, and Elevator Car; displays a list of proposed changes.
  • Back To List – Returns from Validate Sequence to the Floor Stop List.

Usage Instructions & Examples​

How to validate an elevator car’s sequence

  1. On the Floor Stop List, click Validate Sequence.
  2. Select a System.
  3. Select a Facility.
  4. Select an Elevator Car.
  5. Click Check Car.
  6. Review the list of proposed changes and choose to commit or cancel them.

How to create a new floor stop

  1. On the Floor Stop List, click Create.
  2. Complete the required fields presented in the form (fields vary by configuration).
  3. Save. The new floor stop appears in the list and the Floor Stops Count updates.

System Behaviors and Edge Cases​

  • The Elevator Car dropdown remains unavailable until a Facility is selected.
  • Clicking Check Car without all required selections results in no action or a validation prompt.
  • The validation process may take time; a loading indicator (“Stand by…”) appears while results are prepared.
  • After validation, the system presents a summarized list of proposed relay/contact sequence changes; the user can commit all, commit some (if supported), or cancel.
  • Filters opened via Criteria immediately affect the Floor Stops Count and list results once applied.
  • Navigation via Back To List preserves prior list context (where supported by the browser/session).

Permissions​

  • Access typically limited to users with Setup permissions for Elevator configuration.
  • Create (floor stops) requires a role with add/update rights for Floor Stops.
  • Validate Sequence requires elevated privileges to inspect and modify relay/contact sequencing.
  • Read-only users can view the Floor Stop List but cannot create or validate.

Linked Workflows​

  • Elevator System setup – defines Systems and Facilities used by this screen.
  • Elevator Car configuration – maintains cars available for validation.
  • Floor access/authorization workflows – may reference configured floor stops for access control.
  • Change management/audit logs – record committed sequence changes after validation.
