Abstract: The invention concerns a method and a software program for determining the position of an elevator car moved in an elevator shaft, wherein an acceleration is measured and combined with measured open/closed states of the car door. The open-states of the door are used to identify floor-levels and a moving run sequence, wherein the car position estimate is then compared with allocated floor-levels from which the destination floor-level is calculated to extract the exact position of the car within the elevator shaft.

Abstract: A remote monitoring system for an elevator system includes at least one remotely operable intermediate device and a monitoring unit for remotely controlling operation of the at least one intermediate device at least partly. The monitoring unit controls at least one intermediate device to generate a remote command for controlling at least one operation of the elevator system, and monitors a response of the elevator system to the remote command. A method for remotely monitoring an elevator system is also included.

Abstract: A method for deploying a controller to an elevator system includes generating a request to at least one other controller for obtaining at least one parameter relating to a deployment of the controller to the elevator system, receiving a response, and in response to detection that the at least one parameter in the response comprises a set of operational parameters, initiating a configuration procedure, and in response to detection that the at least one parameter in the response does not comprise the set of operational parameters, deriving an identifier of the elevator system included as the at least one parameter in the response and generating a request including the identifier of the elevator system for obtaining the set of operational parameters. An elevator system is configured to perform the method.

Abstract: An elevator has a safety controller to which several safety switch arrangements are connected. The safety controller is configured to cause the stop of the elevator motor and the activation of the motor brakes. A comparator is provided in the safety controller for the determination of the status of the safety chain. The comparator is connected with a memory for storing at least one resistor reference value, which comparator is configured to output a safety chain status signal in dependence of comparison of a measured resistance value with the resistor reference value. Each of said safety switch arrangements includes at least one first resistor and a safety switch which are connected in series. The value of the first resistor is different in at least some safety switch arrangements, preferably in all safety switch arrangements. Each safety switch arrangement includes at least a second resistor connected in parallel with the safety switch, which second resistor has a higher value than the first resistor. The detection of a short circuit as well as of the opening of a safety switch arrangement are allowed.

Abstract: A system for detecting an out-of-operation state of an elevator system includes a monitoring unit and a sensor unit. The sensor unit is configured to: detect at least one event indicating a generation of an elevator call and provide a message indicating the generation of an elevator call to the monitoring unit. The monitoring unit is configured to: initiate a time measuring function in response to receiving the message from the sensor unit, monitor a response of the elevator system to the generated elevator call. A method for detecting an out-of-operation state of an elevator system is also disclosed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for triggering a transmission of sensor data from a wireless device comprising at least one accelerometer. The wireless device is arranged to an automatic door. The method comprises: receiving from the wireless device data processed from the sensor data; analyzing the received data processed from the sensor data; and generating a control signal to the wireless device in response to a detection of a predefined event, wherein the control signal comprises at least a request to the wireless device to trigger the transmission of sensor data. The invention also relates to a network node and a system performing at least partly the method.
