Abstract: A drive device of an elevator includes a frequency converter to be connected to a public AC supply network and an elevator motor. The frequency converter includes a network rectifier configured to be connected to the AC supply network, a motor bridge to be connected to the elevator motor and a DC intermediate circuit located between the network rectifier and the motor bridge. The motor bridge is controlled by a control circuit which feeds the motor bridge with control pulses to regulate the motor speed. The drive device further includes at least one drive prevention circuit connected between the control circuit and the motor bridge. The drive prevention circuit is configured to obtain a safety signal from an elevator safety circuit includes two separate safety input circuits each configured to be connected to the elevator safety circuit to receive a safety signal. Each of the safety input circuits is configured to interrupt the connection between the control circuit and the motor bridge in response to the safety signal status.

Abstract: According to an aspect, there is provided a method for determining a sequence of bus nodes in a multi-drop communication bus. The method includes for each bus node: sending a request to the bus node using an bus node physical identifier to set the bus node to a loopback mode; transmitting at least one signal to the bus node via the multi-drop communication bus; receiving from the bus node a loopback signal caused by the at least one signal; and measuring a roundtrip delay between the at least one signal and the loopback response signal. The method further includes solving the physical order of the bus nodes in the multi-drop communication bus based on the roundtrip delays.

Abstract: Conventionally, elevator communications have been implemented using travelling cables. This is particularly the case when safety related data transmitted from an elevator car has to fulfil real-time restrictions often set by regulators so that the receiving of the information may not be delayed. Typically, this cannot be guaranteed when wireless transmission technologies are used. The reliability can be increased by using a second to supplement the wireless transmission.

Abstract: According to an aspect, there is provided an elevator communication system. The system comprises an ethernet bus, a safety master node communicatively connected to the ethernet bus and configured to communicate via the ethernet bus, and safety slave nodes communicatively connected to the ethernet bus and configured to communicate via the ethernet bus. The safety master node and the safety slave nodes are configured to communicate by using a time-triggered communication protocol. In the time-triggered communication protocol the safety master node is configured to send a polling diagnostic request message to the safety slave nodes by using a predetermined polling cycle.
