DESCRIPTION

Procedure for the tele-diagnostic of an elevator installation and elevator installation for the procedure

The invention relates to a method for remote control of an elevator installation, which has at least one elevator car, which can be moved for the transport of loads and / or persons by means of a drive device in a recess, as well as a device. of elevator control with at least one signal processing device and at least one memory element, in which the elevator control device controls the operation of the elevator installation.

In addition, the invention relates to an elevator installation for performing the procedure.

The elevator installations with at least one elevator car, which can be moved by means of a drive device in an upward and downward vertical recess are known in numerous embodiments. A user can enter a destination call using an input device. A corresponding control signal is transmitted to the elevator control device that can give the user an answer confirming the entry of the destination call. Then the elevator control device controls the elevator car according to the destination call entered. With the help of sensors, the position and speed are usually recorded as well as the direction of the elevator car's motion and corresponding signals of position, speed and direction of the gear are transmitted to the elevator control device. The latter is connected with the drive device of the elevator installation as well as with a brake. Inside the elevator car there is usually an emergency call device, with which an emergency user can produce a voice connection with a central service station.

The central service station usually monitors a plurality of elevator installations that are connected to the central service station. This may have a central computer system and at least one database, in which data relevant to the maintenance and operational status of monitored elevator installations can be stored.

The central and tele-monitoring of a very large number of elevator installations, usually several thousand elevator installations, through a central service station requires a considerable expense and includes an immanent sensitivity to the avenues due to the station service center, in which all the relevant data for the maintenance and operational status of the monitored elevator installations coincide. The central service station should be configured as redundantly as possible to avoid a global suspension.

A procedure and an apparatus for remote administration and monitoring of an elevator installation are known from publication US 2004/094366 A1. The elevator installation comprises at least one elevator car, which can be moved in a recess by means of a drive device, as well as an elevator control device, which controls the operation of the elevator installation. In addition, the elevator installation has several sensors. For the remote administration and monitoring of the elevator installation, a separate remote administration system is used that is connected through an interface with the elevator installation. The remote administration system collects and processes signals that are generated by the sensors and also receives serial signals directly from the elevator control device. Through a telecommunication re the remote administration system is connected to an external central service station that is composed of a computer system and a database. The elevator installation data relevant to maintenance and operational status is deposited in the database. The central service station is configured so that after an oatmeal notice you can give an maintenance technician an order. The remote administration system enables a mobile communication so that a technician, before presenting himself personally in the elevator installation building, can, for example, carry out a mobile control and diagnosis of the functionality of the elevator installation. The maintenance instructions can be transmitted by the remote administration system to a technical data display device.

From WO 2007/055286 A1 a procedure and an apparatus for remote monitoring of an elevator installation are known, in which the elevator installation to be monitored is connected through a first ground communication channel already through a second satellite communication channel with a central service station arranged away. By means of a switching unit the second communication channel can be connected, when the first communication channel fails.

Publication US 2002/113877 A1 describes a procedure and a system for remote administration, among others also of an elevator installation. The elevator installation features a programmable control device that is connected to a separate remote management system conducting signals. The remote administration system comprises a microprocessor, preferably a personal computer, and collects and compresses data obtained from the elevator installation. Through a bi-directional communication channel the remote administration system is connected to a data processing facility

remote layout that presents several servers. The data processing facility is in turn connected to external data reception devices. In the case of an oats of the elevator installation, the data processing facility signals the data reception apparatus at the time of the oats, as well as the location of the elevator installation. Service personnel who have a data reception device can be informed of the oatmeal by the data processing facility

The objective of the present invention is to facilitate a generic type procedure for the tele-diagnostic of an elevator installation, as well as an elevator installation to perform the procedure that is not prone to corn flakes and is economical.

This objective is achieved with a procedure of the type mentioned at the beginning according to the invention because availability data, of corn flakes and / or events of the elevator installation are recorded, stored in the memory element and analyzed by the device of signal processing and because the elevator control device is connected to the Internet through an interface for bidirectional communication and the location of the elevator installation together with status information dependent on the result of the analysis of the availability data, of corn flakes and / or events through the Internet is transmitted to at least one data reception apparatus and is indicated on your monitor on a map that can be updated through the Internet, and because the availability data, corn flakes and / or of events stored through the Internet are made available to certain target groups.

In the case of the procedure according to the invention, availability data, corn flakes and / or events of the elevator installation are recorded, stored in a memory element of the elevator control device and analyzed by the processing device of signals. The location of the elevator installation is transmitted together with status information, which depends on the result of the analysis of the recorded data, via the Internet to at least one data reception apparatus. This presents a monitor that indicates the location of the elevator installation, as well as the status information on a map that can be updated via the Internet. The stored data can be requested by specific target groups through the Internet. Thus, for example, a service technician on the monitor of your data reception apparatus can detect the location of the elevator installation together with information on the status of the elevator installation on a map, which can be updated via the Internet. The status information may contain, for example, information on whether the elevator installation is in a normal operating state or also in an oatmeal state. The status information can be displayed particularly in the form of a symbol on a map, so that the service technician can easily detect if it has an oatmeal. The service technician through the Internet can request the availability data, of corn flakes and / or events of the elevator installation stored in the memory of the elevator control device.

In the process according to the invention, therefore, an elevator control device suitable for connecting to the Internet is used. To this can be associated an own Internet address, for example a fixed address or also a dynamic address. The availability data, corn flakes and / or events can therefore be transmitted through the Internet. The corresponding data is deposited in the memory element the elevator control device.

The elevator control device can be marked via the Internet so that the corresponding data can be requested. This makes it possible to carry out a remote control of the elevator installation. The requested data can be evaluated to assess the operational status of the elevator installation and in case of demand implement maintenance measures.

The location of the elevator installation is displayed together with status information that depends on the result of the analysis of the stored data, on the monitor by at least one data receiving device on a map that can be updated via the Internet. The service technician can therefore immediately detect where the elevator installation is located and what state it presents. The stored data can be accessed through the Internet. This gives you the possibility, if necessary, to previously compose constructive elements or constructive group that will be replaced, so that all the material for the realization of maintenance measures is already provided on the spot.

The method according to the invention also offers the possibility of actively transmitting avenue data from the elevator installation via the Internet along with the location of the elevator installation to a predetermined address. This is particularly advantageous in the case of an emergency, since then, in a short time, measures to eliminate the emergency can be implemented.

If, for example, in an ascent cabin, people are locked, then people, through the emergency call device of the elevator car, can signal an oats that are then indicated through the Internet to rescue equipment in a channeled way. These can immediately detect the location of the elevator installation on the map that can be updated via the Internet and is indicated on the monitor of the data receiving device. Rescue teams can request data on the Internet for availability, corn flakes and / or events deposited in the memory element of the elevator control and it is done in this way and an idea of the oatmeal, before they are in the place. At any time you can mark the

respective elevator installation directly without inserting a central monitoring station. The time required to free people, who are locked in an elevator car, can therefore be considerably reduced.

The location of the elevator installation is visualized according to the invention on a map that can be updated via the Internet. In this regard, the geographical location of the elevator installation is understood in this respect, that is to say position data, which can be obtained, for example, from a satellite-supported system for determining the position (Global Positioning System - GPS). Location data of this type is transmitted by the elevator control via the Internet. In particular, navigation service providers and / or information service providers can be provided through the Internet. Using the location data of this type, users of the procedure, for example, service technicians or rescue equipment or also the operator of the elevator installation can visualize the position of a desired elevator installation on the monitor of the receiving device of data. For this purpose, Internet-based tools for position determination and visualization can be consulted in a complementary manner, including the map material that is accessible through the Internet. The location of the elevator installation can be visualized on this map material.

As already stated, the visualization of the location of the elevator installation together with status information on Internet-based map material is of great advantage for rescue teams, who wish to release people locked in an elevator cabin. Due to the location data provided by the elevator installation, they immediately receive information on the geographical location of the elevator installation, so that rescue teams can find the path to the elevator installation within a short period of time. This is particularly advantageous in the case of larger building complexes with a plurality of elevator installations, since rescue teams receive exact location information through the elevator installation in whose elevator car there are people locked.

In the process according to the invention a central monitoring station can be omitted for a plurality of elevator installations. The procedure therefore becomes a procedure that is not prone to corn flakes and can be carried out considerably more economically. In particular, a continuous telephone connection with a central service station can be omitted. This is advantageous especially in countries that have only a limited public telephone network.

It is of particular advantage when the location of the elevator installation together with status information dependent on the result of the analysis of the availability data, of oats and / or events are transmitted to a mobile navigation device connected to the Internet and displayed on Your monitor Mobile navigation devices are known to the person skilled in the art. If the location of the elevator installation is indicated on the navigation device monitor, then this for example gives the possibility to rescue teams to easily find the path to the desired elevator installation due to the information indicating the route, which They are provided by the navigation device. Also for service technicians, by visualizing the location of the elevator installation together with information on the status of the elevator installation on the monitor of a navigation device it is easier to find the desired elevator installation.

Alternatively or in a complementary way to the navigation devices, the location of the elevator installation and status information can be visualized, for example, on a laptop connected to the Internet or on a mobile telephone device.

As status information, in an advantageous embodiment of the procedure according to the invention the presence of one of several levels of urgency is visualized, for example the presence of a normal operating state, of a need for maintenance, of an oatmeal or of an emergency Visualization can be done in the form of symbols. The meaning of the symbols can be detected immediately by the target group, that is, for example, service technicians, rescue equipment or also by the operator of the elevator installation.

It is particularly favorable when the status information is modified after the receipt of the status information by a data reception apparatus was acknowledged. Recipients of the status information can therefore detect in a simple way, if, for example, in the case of an oatmeal or a need for maintenance, measures have already been taken to eliminate oats or need for maintenance. For example, a service technician, who first detects an indicated oatmeal, can acknowledge receipt of the status information, so that an acknowledgment signal is transmitted through the Internet to the elevator control device, and this then it modifies the status information in the sense that it can now be detected that a service technician is already on the way to eliminate oats.

As already stated, in the procedure according to the invention central monitoring station can be omitted. However, a station of this type can be used in a complementary manner when the status information is transmitted together with the location of the elevator installation also to a station of

central services and availability, oatmeal and / or event data stored in the at least one memory element of the elevator control device via the Internet can be made available to it.

In an advantageous embodiment of the procedures according to the invention, the load of construction elements or construction group of the elevator installation is recorded and data reflecting the load of the construction elements or construction group is deposited in the memory element, and The data stored through the Internet is made available to specific target groups, for example the operator of the elevator installation and service organizations. The target groups can request the data stored in case of demand through the Internet.

It is particularly advantageous when communicating to a service organization when the load of the construction elements or construction group exceeds a predetermined wear threshold. Alternatively, or in a complementary manner, the exceeding of the wear threshold can also be indicated in the form of a status information on the monitor of at least one data reception apparatus, as set forth above.

For example, the wear of rollers on the doors of the elevator car can be evaluated in a simple way without having to carry out an on-site inspection. Rather the load of the sheaves, specifically the path traveled by them when the doors of the elevator car open and close can be added continuously. The path reflects the load of the rollers and the corresponding data on the path traveled by the rollers can be deposited in the at least one memory element. If the load of the rollers exceeds a predominant wear threshold, then the exceeding of the wear threshold can be transmitted to a service organization. In addition, exceeding the wear threshold in the form of status information, as set forth above, can be indicated on the monitor by at least one data reception apparatus.

Also other data data, which reflect the load of a constructive element or a constructive group can be stored in the memory element and through the Internet be made available to specific target groups. For example, the path traveled by a cable in the movement of an elevator car and / or other cable data that determine wear can be continuously deposited in the memory element and made available through the Internet to assess the cable load.

Using the data reflecting the load, for example, the remaining duration of the respective construction element or of the respective construction group can be determined, without having to carry out an on-site examination.

In the case of a particularly preferred configuration of the method according to the invention, the noise and / or vibration behavior of construction elements or construction group of the elevator installation is recorded and evaluated and data is stored in the memory element that they reflect the noise and / or vibration behavior of the construction elements or construction group or the result of the valuation, and these data are made available through the Internet of certain target groups, that is, particularly service organizations and the operator of the elevator installation. To record the noise and / or vibration behavior in the at least one elevator car and / or in the elevator shaft, sensors, particularly microphones or acceleration sensors that are connected to the control device of the elevator can be placed elevator. The noises and / or vibrations that appear during a trip without load in the elevator car, can also be assessed as the noises and / or vibrations that appear in the elevator shaft or in the engine room by means of a vibration detection system and / or noise Variations conditioned by the corn flakes or wear in the noise and / or vibration behavior of the construction elements or construction groups can be detected easily and communicated through the Internet to specific target groups. These can request the data deposited in the memory element and by means of these data evaluate the state of the constructive elements or construction group, also before it reaches a critical situation or a selection of the constructive element or the construction group.

A service organization is preferably informed if the noise and / or vibration behavior of construction elements or construction group of the elevator installation exceeds a predetermined noise or vibration threshold. Alternatively or in a complementary manner, the exceeding of the noise and / or vibration threshold may also be indicated in the form of status information on the monitor by at least one data reception apparatus, as set forth above.

If constructive elements or constructive groups of the elevator installation are replaced then it is advantageous, if the elevator installation after the replacement of a constructive element or a construction group operates in a protected mode that can only be terminated by specific target groups. The protected mode is characterized by the fact that no elevator state can be adopted for safety by the elevator installation. This has the advantage that in the case of a defective replacement the danger of harming the user or also the elevator installation can be reduced. The protected operating mode can cause, for example, an intense speed limitation of the elevator car. It may also be provided that in the protected operating mode it can only be stopped at certain destination stations or also only at a single destination station. The protected operating mode can be terminated only by specific target groups, for example by authorized service technicians. If the protected operating mode is terminated by authorized service technicians then the elevator installation goes back to its

normal operation, which is characterized by the full availability of operation of the elevator installation.

It may be provided that in the protected operating mode only one inspection trip or one recovery trip is possible. An inspection trip means in this case a trip of the elevator car in which from the elevator car it can be moved by an asf called dead man control of the roof of the elevator car. A recovery trip means in this case a trip of the elevator car in which from the engine room or from a control panel, which can be placed outside the elevator car at any stop, it can also travel by a dead man control of the elevator car. Preferably, on the inspection trip and / or on the recovery trip, the speed is limited, and favorably the issuance of internal or external commands is not possible.

It is particularly favorable when after the replacement of a construction element or a construction group the new commissioning of the normal elevator operation of the elevator installation is carried out by means of the introduction of a release code. In such a configuration of the method according to the invention, it may after a replacement of a construction element or a construction group, particularly after the replacement of an electronic construction group, the normal running operation of the elevator installation can be performed only when a release code is introduced to the signal processing device of the elevator installation. The introduction can be done for example manually with the help of a keyboard. However, the introduction may also be provided, for example, with the help of a code map or also by means of an authorized data entry device. Particularly the introduction of the release code can be done through the Internet. The release code is only presented to certain target groups, for example service technicians. While the release code is not entered the elevator installation after the replacement of a construction element or a construction group can only be operated in a protected mode. In this protected mode, only one inspection trip or one recovery trip can be carried out, for example. If the release code was entered then the elevator installation automatically goes into its normal operating mode which is characterized by a complete availability of the elevator installation.

So that the signal processing device of the elevator control device can handle the availability data, of corn flakes and / or of events deposited in the at least one memory element, preferably in a database, and can perform evaluation of Complicated calculations is advantageous when a signal processing device with an operating system is used. As an operating system, a usual operating system is preferably used for the control of technical installations, devices and devices that can be obtained in the market and allows ample possibilities for data storage, data visualization, data valuation and communication through the Internet.

In a favorable way, the signal processing device is programmed independently of the hardware and the software of the signal processing device is updated in case of demand through the Internet. By means of the accessibility of the elevator control device through the Internet, the signal processing device software can be updated very simply by downloading a corresponding update through the Internet.

As mentioned at the beginning, the invention also relates to an elevator installation for carrying out the previously described procedure. The elevator installation comprises at least one elevator car, which can be moved for the transport of loads and / or persons by means of a drive device in a recess, as well as an elevator control device with at least one signal processing device. and at least one memory element, in which the elevator control device controls the operation of the elevator installation. According to the invention, it is provided that at least one signal processing device has an operating system and that the elevator control device comprises an interface for bidirectional communication with the Internet, in which the elevator control device can be identified through the Internet and availability data, of corn flakes and / or events of the elevator installation can be recorded in at least one memory element, and through the at least one signal processing device can be analyzed, and the site can be transmitted of the elevator installation together with status information dependent on the result of the analysis of the availability data, of corn flakes and / or events through the Internet to at least one data reception apparatus, and on whose monitor they can be displayed on a map that can be updated through the Internet, and in which the stored data is made available to certain target groups Swim through the Internet. The target groups include service organizations, rescue teams and / or operators of the elevator installation.

In the elevator installation according to the invention at least one signal processing device of the elevator control device has an operating system and the elevator control device comprises an interface for bidirectional communication with the Internet. The elevator control device can be identified through the Internet unequivocally. The elevator control device is therefore suitable for connecting to the Internet, that is to say it can transmit data through the Internet, particularly the target groups determined through the Internet can request data from the memory element of the elevator control.

As already explained, this enables economic remote control and remote administration and not very prone to the avenues of the elevator installation and also the evaluation of availability data, corn flakes and / or events. In addition, this allows the warning of rescue equipment that can identify the elevator installation unequivocally, and may, for example, request information on the winding and / or events through the Internet by rescue equipment, so that a better plan can be planned. rescue mission.

Geographical location data is assigned to the elevator control device, which can be made available through the Internet, so that service personnel and especially rescue equipment through the use of conventional navigation devices can reliably find the path to a specific elevator installation. On the monitor of a data reception apparatus, for example a laptop or personal computer or also of a mobile phone suitable for connecting to the Internet, the location of the elevator installation can be indicated on a map that can be updated via the Internet, being able to visualize at the same time also data of corn flakes or of availability. This simplifies, for example, the planning of maintenance measures.

As already stated, it is advantageous, when at least one data receiving device is configured as a mobile navigation device. For this reason, not only the location of the elevator installation in the Internet-based map material can be indicated, but also guidance information of the navigation apparatus can be additionally provided in order to easily find the path to the elevator installation.

In a preferred configuration of the elevator installation according to the invention the reception of the status information can be confirmed by a data reception apparatus and the status information provided by the signal processing device can be modified below.

It is advantageous if the signal processing device has communication software for the transmission of voice over the Internet (Voice Over IP). This makes it possible, for example, in the case of an emergency call to produce a voice connection through the Internet with people locked in the elevator car.

It is favorable when the elevator control device has an emergency call and voice output system. The emergency call and voice exit system makes it possible to detect the emergency call activated by the elevator car and then activate a voice prompt, for example to confirm the emergency call entry and / or alert the equipment Rescue through the Internet.

The emergency call and voice output system may for example be connected through an analog or digital interface with the signal processing device of the elevator control. The signal processing device in turn can be connected to the Internet through the aforementioned interface for bidirectional communication.

Alternatively, it may be provided that the emergency call and voice output system is integrated into the signal processing device.

As already mentioned, it is advantageous, when the elevator control device comprises a noise and / or vibration detection system. The noise and / or vibration detection system makes it possible to detect modifications conditioned by wear or corn flakes in the behavior of noise and / or vibration of construction elements or construction groups of the elevator installation. For this, sensors, for example microphones or acceleration sensors that are connected to the elevator control device, may be arranged in the elevator car and / or in the shaft and / or in the machine room of the elevator installation.

Favorably, the load of construction elements or construction group of the elevator installation can be registered and the data that reflect the load of the construction elements or construction group can be stored in the memory element and are accessible through Internet to certain target groups .

In an advantageous configuration by a service organization, the wear of the elevator car door sheaves can be detected by means of a consultation via the Internet, when the path traveled by the sheaves and corresponding route data are deposited in the memory. The path traveled by the rollers forms a measure for the wear or load of the rollers. Correspondingly, it is advantageous if, for example, the path traveled by the cable can be recorded and can be deposited in a memory. The path traveled by the cable as a whole represents a measure for its wear or load.

As already stated, it is favorable if the elevator installation after the replacement of a construction element or a construction group automatically goes into a protected operating mode that can only be terminated by certain target groups. Particularly electronic construction groups can present an identification member that can be consulted by the signal processing device. A replacement of the electronic construction groups can be detected automatically by the signal processing device that then goes on to a protected operating mode. This can be characterized, for example, by an intense limitation of the speed of the elevator car or also by the fact that in the protected operating mode only certain target stops can be made. Protected operating mode can only

terminate by specific target groups. In this regard, they may be authorized service personnel.

It is particularly advantageous when, after the replacement of a construction element or a construction group of the elevator installation by introducing a release code, the new commissioning of the normal elevator operation is carried out. For this purpose, the signal processing device of the release code can be entered, for example, manually by means of a keypad, or also by means of a special data entry device, particularly a map reading device or also a mobile telephone with an identification number predetermined.

The signal processing device can be programmed in an advantageous embodiment of the elevator installation according to the invention independently of the hardware. It can be programmed in a habitual cult language and enable the use of a database and enable its valuation as well as the use of communication software and enable a plurality of elevator applications.

The software of the signal processing device in an advantageous embodiment can be updated via the Internet. An update of the signal processing device software can be downloaded easily from the Internet.

In addition to the availability data, corn flakes and / or events in the memory element 62, data reproducing the load of individual construction elements or construction group of the elevator installation 10 can also be deposited, eg the load of the cable 18. By means of sensors known in themselves not shown in the drawing, for example, the road section traveled by cable 18 and its tensile load can be recorded continuously. These data form a measure for the cable load and can be deposited in the memory element 62 and in case of demand transmitted or consulted via the Internet.

In addition to the data, which represents a measure for the loading of individual construction elements or construction groups, memory signals 62 may also be deposited with evaluation signals of the vibration or noise detection system 74. These data allow early detection. of operating states that may lead to longer situations to critical situations or even to a lift in the elevator installation 10.

The signal processing device 60 analyzes the availability data, corn flakes and / or events stored in the memory element 62, as well as the data reflecting a measurement for the loading of individual construction elements or construction groups and the data provided by the vibration or noise detection system 74. The status information that depends on the result of the analysis is transmitted through the Internet 78 schematically represented in Figure 1 to a plurality of data reception apparatus. The latter can be configured, for example, in the form of mobile navigation devices 81, 82, 83, 84, connected to the Internet 78 and / or in the form of mobile or portable telephone devices connected to the Internet. They present a monitor 85 in which a map that can be updated via Internet 78 can be represented, in which the status information transmitted by the elevator control device 30 together with position data, reflecting the position, can be indicated. location of the elevator installation 10. Therefore, on each monitor 85 of the data reception devices 81 to 84 the location of the elevator installation 10 and information on the status of the elevator installation 10 can be displayed, for example indications that the elevator installation 10 is in a normal operating state or that there is a need for maintenance, an oatmeal or even an emergency. This information can be recorded in particular by rescue teams and service technicians, as well as by operators of the elevator installation 10. Through Internet 78 these target groups can then check the availability data, corn flakes and / or events of the elevator installation 10 stored in the memory element 62, that is particularly, from the memory element 62.

Through the Internet 78, a connection with a rescue center can also be established by the elevator installation 10 in the event of an emergency, so that people who are locked in the elevator car 16 in a period of time can be released very short. Through the Internet, a voice connection can be established by the rescue center with the people locked in the elevator car 10. The rescue center can detect, like the other target groups, that is, in particular, service organizations and operators of the elevator installation 10, the location of the elevator installation 10 in Internet-based map material, which is displayed on the monitor 85, and due to the two-way communication with the elevator control device 10 in which data may be requested deposited memory element 62.

To indicate the location of the elevator installation 10, Internet-based user programs can be used, with the help of which the location of the elevator installation 10 can be indicated on a map. The map material of this type is known by the person skilled in the art. Using the navigation devices 81 to 84 known per se by the person skilled in the art, the path to the elevator installation 10 can be found in a simple manner by means of guidance information, which is provided to the user by the navigation devices 81 to 84. In particular, rescue teams can achieve this way in a

very short time the elevator installation 10.

The elevator control device 30 with the signal processing device 60 thus enables a remote control of the elevator installation 10. The service personnel can establish a bi-directional communication with the elevator control 30 and the data via the Internet availability of corn flakes and / or events can be read from the memory element 62. Conversely, in the case of an emergency call, a connection to a central exchange can be produced by the elevator control device 30 via the Internet rescue, so that people who are locked in the elevator car 16 can be released within a very short period of time. Through the Internet, a voice connection can be made through the rescue center with people locked in the elevator car 16.

Site data is associated to the elevator installation 10, so that the location of the elevator installation 10 can be indicated on a graphic user surface. For this purpose, Internet-based user programs can be used to visualize the location of the elevator installation 10 on a map. In addition, the location data can be entered in a conventional navigation device that then provides orientation information, so that the service personnel, but also rescue equipment can reach the elevator installation 10 in a very short space of time.

If individual construction elements or construction groups are replaced in the elevator installation 10, then the signal processing device 60 first goes into a protected operating mode. This is characterized in that the installation of elevator 10 cannot adopt any critical state for safety, rather the operation of the elevator car 16 is carried out during the protected operating mode with very limited speed, the elevator car 10 being able to perform only stops determined. In particular, it can be provided that the elevator car 10 in the protected operating mode can perform a single predetermined stop in which it remains until the protected operating mode is terminated by the introduction of a release code by a service technician. The introduction of the release code can be carried out by the service technician with the aid of a map reading device of the signal processing device 60 known per se and therefore not represented in the drawing to achieve better visibility. With this map reader, a release code can be read, which is stored on a service map invariably. The signal processing device 60 then automatically enters its operating mode in which the total operating availability of the elevator installation 10 is presented. In a replacement of a construction element or a construction group the service technician can therefore check First, if the replacement is successful. If this is the case then you can enter the release code, so that the elevator installation then presents its full operational availability. If the replacement was made in a wrong way, then the elevator installation remains in the absence of the introduction of the release code first in its protected operating mode. The danger of damaging the elevator installation 10 after an erroneous replacement of a construction element or a construction group is therefore greatly reduced.
