Otis MCB II Motherboard GCA26800H2 – Setup, Integration & Replacement Guide

Nanjing Zhuye Elevator Parts – OEM stock, global shipping, 24/7 support
The GCA26800H2 is the 32-bit Power-PC heart of every Otis MCB-II controller shipped since 2012. Mounted on the main rack, this board hosts the 400 MHz CPU that runs the SIL-2 safety task, manages real-time CAN traffic, stores 60 days of fault logs and still provides spare Ethernet for Otis REM remote monitoring. A single brown-out on the 24 V rail or a cracked CAN transceiver will throw a “7x” fault and shut the entire group down. Nanjing Zhuye Elevator Parts keeps hundreds of factory-flashed GCA26800H2 motherboards in Rotterdam and Nanjing so you can restore full traffic the same shift. Below is an 800-word field manual that explains correct usage, on-site programming and the replacement cycle that keeps your elevators secure, connected and code-compliant.
1. What the GCA26800H2 does
-
400 MHz Power-PC 5200 with dual CAN, RS-485 and 10/100 Ethernet PHY
-
256 MB NAND flash for event logs, 64 MB DDR for real-time tasks
-
Dual-redundant safety CPU (external via SPA) achieving SIL-2 / PLe Cat. 3
-
Battery-backed RTC and 256-bit AES encryption for REM cloud link
-
UL/CE listed to EN 81-20/50 and CSA B44.1 for 15-year design life
2. Tools to carry
-
GCA26800H2 motherboard (Nanjing Zhuye part #OT-MCB2-GCA26800H2) in anti-static bag
-
2 mm & 3 mm flat screwdrivers, TX10 Torx
-
Otis Service Tool (OST) laptop with MCB-II 6.x licence key
-
RJ-45 and USB-to-CAN adapters (shielded)
-
Multi-meter with min/max capture
-
Lock-out / tag-out kit
3. Installation – 30 minutes if you back-up first
Safety: place all cars on group inspection, open the main disconnect and verify 0 V on the 24 Vdc rail.
-
Photograph every J-number jumper – especially J8 (safety version) and J15 (REM enable).
-
Remove six TX10 screws; slide the old board out of the card guides.
-
Transfer the micro-SD card (firmware + car parameter file) and the CR2032 battery.
-
Insert the new GCA26800H2; torque screws to 1.0 N·m.
-
Re-connect flat cables J1 (power), J2 (CAN-A), J3 (CAN-B), J4 (SPA), J7 (Ethernet).
-
Apply power – STATUS LED blinks green 3 times then solid; ETH LED flashes during DHCP.
-
Launch OST → Controller → Parameter Upload; select the XML back-up created earlier.
-
Run SIL-2 safety verification – must show 100 % pass.
-
Remove inspection, run 5 full-speed cycles and log the serial number in CMMS.
4. Functional test – prove it to the inspector
a) Safety string continuity: <0.1 Ω across XSA1-XSA2.
b) CAN-A/B error frames: <1 % during 30 min run.
c) Ethernet ping to REM gateway: <50 ms, 0 % loss.
d) Battery voltage: 3.0 V ±0.1 V; low-battery LED off.
e) Export OST report and attach PDF to site file.
b) CAN-A/B error frames: <1 % during 30 min run.
c) Ethernet ping to REM gateway: <50 ms, 0 % loss.
d) Battery voltage: 3.0 V ±0.1 V; low-battery LED off.
e) Export OST report and attach PDF to site file.
5. Preventive maintenance schedule
-
Monthly – visual sweep for swollen capacitors or corroded CAN terminals.
-
Quarterly – measure 24 Vdc ripple (<100 mV) and case temperature (<55 °C).
-
Annually – export fault log; clear buffers after review.
-
Every two years – replace CR2032 battery and apply latest cybersecurity patch via OST.
6. Replacement cycle – environment decides
Otis specification: 15 years. Nanjing Zhuye analytics refine this:
-
Light duty (<150 starts/day, HVAC room): 18 years
-
Standard duty (150–400 starts, residential): 15 years
-
Heavy duty (>400 starts, hospital, mall): 12 years
-
High ambient (>45 °C, rooftop cabinet): 10 years – capacitor life halves every 10 °C rise.
Replace immediately if:
-
STATUS LED red double-blink – dual CAN failure
-
Ethernet port unresponsive – lightning-damaged PHY
-
RTC loses time <24 h – battery leakage corroding pads
-
Fault buffer shows “NVRAM error” – flash wear-out after 100 k writes
7. Eco-disposal & warranty
Return the old board in the prepaid anti-static box; Nanjing Zhuye recovers gold, copper and aluminium and issues a €15 recycling credit. Every GCA26800H2 ships with a 24-month replacement warranty, extendable to 60 months when you join our annual battery-and-patch program.
