Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein System und ein Verfahren zur Steuerung des Betriebs von Aufzugsanlagen nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a system and a method for Control of the operation of elevator systems after the Preamble of claim 1.

Zur Betriebssteuerung ist jeder Aufzugsanlage eine Steuerungseinrichtung zugeordnet, an welche Sensoren und Aktoren, wie beispielsweise Bedien-, Betätigungs- und Stellelemente der Aufzugsanlage angeschlossen sind. Ein Mikroprozessor der lokalen Steuerungseinrichtung liest die Eingangssignale und schaltet entsprechend dem vorgesehenen Steuerprogramm die Ausgangssignale. Die Verarbeitung der Signale und der in der Steuerung gespeicherten, die Aufzugsanlage beschreibenden Angaben, wie z. B. Stockwerksanzahl, Antriebstyp etc. erfolgt in einem Mikroprozessor vor Ort bei der Aufzugsanlage.Every elevator installation is one for operational control Control device assigned to which sensors and Actuators, such as operating, operating and Control elements of the elevator system are connected. On The microprocessor of the local control device reads the Input signals and switches according to the intended Control program the output signals. Processing the Signals and those stored in the controller, the Elevator system descriptive information such. B. Number of floors, drive type etc. takes place in one Microprocessor on site at the elevator system.

Aus den Patentschriften EP 0 252 266 B1 und US 5,450,478 sind Aufzugsanlagensysteme bekannt geworden, deren Aufzüge neben einer konventionellen Steuerungseinrichtung zusätzlich mit einem Modem zur Fernüberwachung ausgestattet sind. Bei dieser Fernüberwachung von Aufzugsanlagen kommuniziert jeweils die Steuereinrichtung jeder einzelnen Aufzugsanlage unter bestimmten Bedingungen mittels Modem über das öffentliche Telefonnetz mit einer zentralen Wartungs- oder Servicestelle. Der dabei vorgesehene Datenaustausch betrifft in erster Linie vordefinierte diagnostische Daten im Hinblick auf Betriebszustand, Stör- und Alarmereignisse sämtlicher mit der zentralen Wartungs- oder Servicestelle verbundenen Aufzugsanlagen.From the patents EP 0 252 266 B1 and US 5,450,478 Elevator systems become known, whose elevators in addition with a conventional control device are equipped with a modem for remote monitoring. At this Remote monitoring of elevator systems communicates the Control device of each individual elevator system under certain conditions using a modem over the public Telephone network with a central maintenance or service point. The intended data exchange primarily concerns predefined diagnostic data with regard to Operating status, fault and alarm events all with the central maintenance or service point Elevator systems.

Ein anderes Aufzugsanlagesystem ist ebenfalls in US-A-5 736 694 offenbart.Another elevator installation system is also in US-A-5 736 694 disclosed.

Je nach Aufbau und Funktionsweise ist dem eigentlichen anlagenspezifischen Datenaustausch ein Datenaustauschprozedere vorgeschaltet, welches einerseits den Kommunikationsweg aufbaut anderseits den Zugriff bzw. die Zugriffsberechtigung auf Daten der Aufzugsteuerung regelt.Depending on the structure and functionality, the actual plant-specific data exchange Data exchange procedure upstream, which on the one hand the On the other hand, the communication path establishes the access or the Access authorization to data of the elevator control regulates.

Auf diese Weise mit aufzugsindividuellem Steuerungssystem samt Modemerweiterung und zentraler Wartungs- und Servicestelle ausgestattete Aufzugsanlagensysteme haben sich zwar bewährt, doch sind sie aufgrund ihrer insoweit erläuterten baulichen und funktionellen Eigenschaften vorrichtungsmässig aufwendig und nur eine enge Auswahl vordefinierter Meldungen in die Wartungs- und Servicezentrale übertragen werden können. Der Unterhalt und die Wartung der einzelnen im Gesamtsystem mit der Wartungs- und Servicezentrale verbundenen, mitunter örtlich weit auseinanderliegenden Aufzugsanlagen gestaltet sich kostenintensiv. Bei Betriebsstörungen einer Aufzugsanlage oder eines Aufzugs entstehen dadurch lange Wartezeiten bis vor Ort die Ursache der Störung festgestellt und die Störung behoben ist.In this way with an individual control system for the elevator including modem expansion and central maintenance and Service station equipped elevator systems have proven, but they are due to their extent explained structural and functional properties device-intensive and only a narrow selection predefined messages to the maintenance and service center can be transferred. The upkeep and maintenance of the individual in the overall system with the maintenance and Service center connected, sometimes locally apart elevator systems is designed expensive. In the event of malfunctions in an elevator system or an elevator, this results in long waiting times the cause of the fault was determined on site and the fault is fixed.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, ein Anlagensystem der eingangs genannten Art anzugeben, das eine Verringerung der Betriebsmittel, eine Vereinfachung von Unterhalt und Wartung sowie eine Ausweitung der Dienstleistungen ermöglicht. The object of the invention is therefore a system of Specify the type mentioned at the beginning, which is a reduction in Operating resources, a simplification of maintenance and maintenance as well as an expansion of services.

A central control device is available for this a data transmission device with all elevators of a system in connection. Control data and Parameters are between each elevator system and the central control center communicates, in the latter the status of the sensors processed into a control signal becomes.

Hieraus resultierende Vorteile bestehen darin, dass nur eine einzige zentrale Steuerungseinrichtung für sämtliche Aufzüge des Gesamtsystems erforderlich ist und die herkömmlichen Steuerungen an der/den Aufzügen entfallen. Dadurch wird vorrichtungsmässiger Aufwand wie auch der jeweils gebäudeseitig erforderliche Bauraum an der Aufzugsanlage verringert.The resulting advantages are that only one the only central control device for all lifts of the overall system is required and the conventional There are no controls on the lifts. This will device-related effort as well as each space required on the building side of the elevator system reduced.

Bei Übertragung sämtlicher Anlagendaten und Anlagenparameter zur zentralen Steuerungseinrichtung des Gesamtsystems ist eine zentrale Wartung dieser Technik möglich. Zeit- und lohnintensive Einstellungen und Anpassungen vor Ort an dem Aufzug entfallen. Durch Modifikationen an der Software der zentralen Steuereinrichtung werden Aufzugsfunktionen sowohl für einzelne als auch mehrere Aufzüge beeinflusst. Weiters ist es möglich, einen vollständigen Istzustand der Aufzugsanlage in der Zentrale abzubilden und Daten, die Benutzungsrechte, Fahrtziele usw. betreffen an zentraler Stelle zu korrigieren.When transferring all system data and system parameters to the central control device of the overall system central maintenance of this technology is possible. Time and wage-intensive settings and adjustments on site at the Elevator is eliminated. Through modifications to the software of the central control device will be elevator functions both For single as well as multiple lifts influenced. Furthermore, it is possible a complete current state of the elevator system in the central and map data, the usage rights, Destinations, etc. relate to correct at a central point.

Darüber hinaus sind mit dem erfindungsgemässen Aufzugsanlagensystem völlig neue Formen der Anlagenüberwachung, vorbeugenden Wartung und Instandhaltung möglich. Neben den Steueralgorithmen kann eine separate Auswertung der Geber für eine Verschleiss- und Ausfallanalyse erfolgen. Jede Baugruppe kann vorbeugend analysiert und statistisch ausgewertet werden. Dem Kunden können Informationen über die Anlage in beliebiger Form zur Verfügung gestellt werden (z.B. Internetseiten statt Lobby-PC).In addition, with the inventive Elevator system completely new forms of Plant monitoring, preventive maintenance and repair possible. In addition to the control algorithms, a separate Evaluation of the sensors for a wear and failure analysis respectively. Each assembly can be analyzed and preventively can be statistically evaluated. The customer can Information about the system in any form Be made available (e.g. websites instead of lobby PC).
