    摘要: A test method is applied to an elevator system having a control unit and at least one bus node. The bus node has a first microprocessor and a second microprocessor and the control unit and the bus node communicate by a bus. Furthermore, the first microprocessor and the second microprocessor are connected without interruption by a signal line. The test method includes the steps: a specification signal is transmitted by the control unit to the first microprocessor, the first microprocessor transmits the signal to the second microprocessor, and the second microprocessor provides the signal for the control unit. Finally, the control unit verifies whether the provided signal corresponds to a signal expected by the control unit. The elevator system includes a monitoring device for carrying out the test method.

    摘要: A safety chain circuit includes a plurality of protection devices connected between a first chain end and a second chain end, and an amplifier. The amplifier includes a first device switch and a second device switch connected between an input and an output, a first enabling switch connected between the second chain end and a second enabling switch, and a first control switch and a second control switch. The first enabling switch selectively enables the first control switch to control the first device switch. The second enabling switch selectively enables the second control switch to control the second device switch. The first control switch, when enabled, selectively controls the first device switch in response to receiving a first control signal. The second control switch, when enabled, selectively controls the second device switch in response to receiving a second control signal.
