Abstract: A power controller with a cable connected remote controlling device configured to transmit a pulsed instruction signal according to a predetermined signal pattern to the power controller. The power controller determines if the instruction signal corresponds with a predetermined signal pattern. If the instruction signal corresponds with a predetermined signal pattern, the controller passes the instruction signal to switches that control power supply of an electric device.

Abstract: A motor drive includes a rectifier bridge, which rectifier bridge is connected to an DC link, which is connected to an inverter bridge having phase outputs configured to be connected to an elevator motor, as well as a drive control controlling the semiconductor switches of the inverter bridge. The inverter bridge has upper semiconductor switches of the upper side connected to plus of the DC link and lower semiconductor switches of the lower side connected to minus of the DC link, the upper semiconductor switches are semiconductor switches without desaturation- and/or over-current protection whereas the lower semiconductor switches comprise a desaturation- and/or over-current protection, or vice versa. The drive control includes an earth fault control circuit which is configured to establish an earth fault test, in which each single semiconductor switch comprising a desaturation- and/or over-current protection is switched through, only one at a time, over a test time period, whereby the earth fault control circuit is configured to enable start of the motor drive only if the earth fault test has not lead to a tripping of the desaturation- and/or over-current protection of one of the semiconductor switches.

Abstract: The invention relates to a safety arrangement of an elevator, which includes sensors configured to indicate functions that are critical to the safety of the elevator, and also a safety circuit, with which the data formed by the sensors indicating the safety of the elevator is read. The safety arrangement includes a drive device including a control circuit of a motor bridge, an input circuit for a safety signal that can be disconnected/connected from outside the drive device, and also drive prevention logic, to prevent the passage of control pulses to the control poles of high-side and/or low-side switches of the motor bridge when the safety signal is disconnected. The safety circuit brings the elevator into a state preventing a run by disconnecting the safety signal and removes the state preventing a run by connecting the safety signal.
