摘要： A passenger transport system includes a bus system transferring data between a central control unit and a plurality of field devices. In a failure detection method, the field devices are configured in an unbranched chain configuration and the control unit transmits a test telegram to a first field device to start a monitoring cycle during which each field device receiving the test telegram forwards the test telegram to a next field device in the chain. During the monitoring cycle, the control unit monitors a communication between the field devices occurring via the bus system, in order to detect when a field device does not forward the test telegram. A data volume transmitted via the bus system during the failure detection method is significantly reduced in comparison to conventional failure tests such that failures can be recognized more quickly and/or simpler hardware and/or software can be used.

摘要： A wire bridge monitoring system includes a wire bridge (18) and a monitoring device (22, 24). The wire bridge (18) is used by a technician (20) during servicing an electrical or electro-mechanical installation (1) to bridge a component of the electrical or electro-mechanical installation (1). The wire bridge (18) has an electronic identification device (26) configured to transmit a radio signal (21) comprising an identification number of the wire bridge (18). The monitoring device (22, 24) has a transceiver (28, 37), a memory (23, 41) and a processor (31, 39). The transceiver (28, 37) receives the radio signal (21) transmitted by the electronic identification device (26) when within a predetermined radio range, and the memory (23, 41) records use of the wire bridge (18). The processor (31, 39) monitors if the wire bridge (18) is within the predetermined radio range, and generates an alarm if the wire bridge (18) is not within the predetermined radio range and the wire bridge (18) is recorded as being in use.

摘要： A door switch inspection device for detecting an abnormal condition of a landing door switch used in an elevator is disclosed. Each of a plurality of landing door switches is disposed on a corresponding landing door at each landing floor for detecting an open/closed state of the landing door. The door switch inspection device includes a plurality of voltage detection units connected to the ground side of their respective landing door switches for detecting a voltage value of their respective landing door switches, and a switch contact monitoring unit for detecting an abnormal condition of a landing door switch, which is carried out by calculating a voltage difference between two adjacent floors and comparing the voltage difference with a threshold voltage.

摘要： In modern elevators, safety circuits are used for preventing the operation of an elevator having possibly safety related problems. Sometimes the problem is in the safety circuit itself, and the operation could be continued. In a disclosed arrangement, groups of at least two independent safety circuits are used. The operation of the elevator can be continued in the case where one safety circuit in each group indicates that there is a possible problem. Thus, one deficient safety switch in one safety circuit does not prevent the operation.

摘要： An exemplary elevator brake control device includes a relay switch that is associated with a safety chain configured to monitor at least one condition of a selected elevator system component. The relay switch is selectively closed to allow power supply to an electrically activated elevator brake component responsive to the monitored condition having a first status. The relay switch is selectively opened to prevent power supply to the brake component responsive to the monitored condition having a second, different status. A solid state switch is in series with the relay switch between the relay switch and the brake component. A driver selectively controls the solid state switch to selectively allow power to be supplied to the brake component only if the relay switch is closed and the monitored condition has the first status.
