Abstract: A method for configuring security related configuration parameters is used in a passenger transport installation that includes at least one sensor exchanging sensor signals with a control. The sensor detects operating parameters within the passenger transport installation and emits corresponding sensor signals. The control controls security related functions of the passenger transport installation taking into account the sensor signals and the configuration parameters. The method includes: comparing the sensor signals with a predefined key signal pattern; operating the control temporarily in a configuration mode exclusively if the compared sensor signals correspond to the key signal pattern; and configuring the security related configuration parameters during the configuration mode. An installation-specific sensor (e.g. optical sensor or magnetic field sensor) functions as an interface to put the control into configuration mode in a targeted manner, e.g. by a test piece with a barcode maintained in the field of view of the optical sensor.

Abstract: A controller controls passenger transport system functionalities and a safety device monitors a safety-relevant function of the system by storing a configured parameter to transfer to a “configured” state. The method includes: the controller receiving a configuration parameter; transmitting the configuration parameter to the safety device; storing a configured parameter in the safety device, based upon the received configuration parameter; transmitting configured data from the safety device to the controller, the configured data encoding an item of graphic information that is shown on a display of the controller, the graphic information uniquely reproducing the configured parameter in a visual, machine-readable manner; reading out the graphic information by an optical read-out sensor of a mobile, processor-controlled data processing device; and comparing the configured parameter reproduced by the read-out graphic information to a target configuration parameter. The controller controlling the functionalities according to whether there is sufficient agreement between the compared parameters.

Abstract: A system and method for determining an elevator car position uses position markers situated in the elevator shaft and each assigned a discrete car position, first and second detection devices on the elevator car detecting first and second position markers respectively, and an evaluation unit that determines first and second discrete car positions based on the detected first and second position markers respectively. A single interpolation device of the position determining system determines first and second interpolated car positions. The evaluation unit determines first and second car positions based on the first and second discrete car positions and the first and second interpolated car positions respectively. The interpolation device generates an interpolation parameter that characterizes a position of the first detection device relative to the first position marker and determines the first and second interpolated car positions on the basis of the interpolation parameter.
