Durch Drücken eines oder mehrerer der Bedienelemente 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e lassen sich in der numerischen Steuerung der Aufzugsanlage 1 hinterlegte Steuerdaten abrufen - und sofern erwünscht - sowohl für den regulären als auch für den Sonderbetrieb der Aufzugsanlage 1 verändern. Als Anzeigeeinrichtung für die abgerufenen Daten dient die Anzeigeeinrichtung 15, die als Display gemeinsam mit den Bedienelementen 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e eine interaktive Einrichtung zur Programmierung der Aufzugssteuerung bildet. Über die Bedienelemente 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e beeinflusst werden kann beispielsweise der Programmierzustand des Hauptantriebs der Aufzugsanlage 1. Insofern dienen die Bedienelemente 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e als Einrichtungen zur Steuerung des Hauptantriebes der Aufzugsanlage 1. Ebenfalls über die Aufzugssteuerung, wirkt die Betätigung der Bedienelemente 6a, 6b, 6c; 7a, 7b, 7c auf die betreffenden Funktionseinheiten der Aufzugsanlage 1.

As a display device for the retrieved data is the display device 15, which forms a display together with the controls 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e an interactive device for programming the elevator control. For example, the programming state of the main drive of the elevator installation 1 can be influenced via the operating elements 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e. In this respect, the operating elements 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e serve as devices for controlling the main drive of the elevator installation 1. Also via the Elevator control, the operation of the controls 6a, 6b, 6c acts; 7a, 7b, 7c to the relevant functional units of the elevator installation 1. In this case can be on the control elements 6a, 6b, 6c on the Return function, via the control elements 7a, 7b, 7c influence the emergency release function of the elevator control.

Durch Drehen des Bedienelementes 6a in die in Figur 2 gestrichelt angedeutete Position wird die Aufzugssteuerung in den Rückholmodus versetzt. Durch Drücken der Bedienelemente 6b, 6c wird die Kabine der Aufzugsanlage 1 infolge einer entsprechenden, mittels der Aufzugssteuerung 1 bewerkstelligten Steuerung des Hauptantriebes sowie der Betriebsbremsen der Seil-Aufzugsanlage 1 ausgehend von der momentanen Position abgesenkt (Bedienelement 6b) oder angehoben (Bedienelement 6c). Bewegungszustand und Bewegungsrichtung des Hauptantriebes bzw. der Treibscheibe und/oder der Aufzugskabine der Aufzugsanlage 1 sind anhand der Anzeigeeinrichtungen 12, 13 erkennbar.By turning the control element 6a in the in FIG. 2 dashed line indicated position, the elevator control is put into the return mode. By pressing the controls 6b, 6c, the cab of the elevator installation 1 is lowered as a result of a corresponding, accomplished by the elevator control 1 control of the main drive and the service brakes of the cable elevator system 1 from the current position (control element 6b) or raised (control element 6c).

Durch Drehen des Bedienelementes 7a in die gestrichelte Position gemäß Figur 2 wird die Aufzugssteuerung in den Notbefreiungsmodus überführt. Anschließend lassen sich ein Hilfsantrieb sowie die Betriebsbremsen der Aufzugsanlage 1 durch Drücken des Bedienelementes 7b oder des Bedienelementes 7c in einem die Aufzugskabine absenkenden (Bedienelement 7b) oder in einem die Aufzugskabine anhebenden (Bedienelement 7c) Sinne steuern. Als Anzeigeeinrichtung für Bewegungszustand und -richtung der Aufzugskabine dient auch in diesem Fall die Anzeigeeinrichtung 13.By turning the operating element 7a in the dashed position according to FIG. 2 the elevator control is transferred to the emergency rescue mode. Subsequently, an auxiliary drive and the service brakes of the elevator installation 1 can be controlled by depressing the operating element 7b or the operating element 7c in a lowering (control element 7b) or in a lift (lifting element 7c) senses the elevator car. As a display device for the movement state and direction of the elevator car also serves in this case, the display device 13th

Auch die Anzeigeeinrichtung 14 sowie die Anzeigeeinrichtung 15 übernehmen sowohl bei der Rückholsteuerung als auch bei der Notbefreiung Anzeigefunktionen. So wird durch aktivieren, d. h. illuminieren der Anzeigeeinrichtung 14 angezeigt, daß der Boden der Aufzugskabine bündig mit dem Boden eines Stockwerkes des mit der Aufzugsanlage 1 ausgestatteten Gebäudes angeordnet ist und dementsprechend die Aufzugskabine von den Fahrgästen verlassen werden kann. Die Anzeigeeinrichtung 15 zeigt die momentane Höhe der Aufzugskabine über der Schachtsohle in Millimetern an.Also, the display device 14 and the display device 15 assume both in the return control and in the emergency release display functions. Thus, by activating, ie illuminating, the display device 14 it is indicated that the floor of the elevator car is arranged flush with the floor of a floor of the building equipped with the elevator installation 1 and accordingly the elevator car can be left by the passengers. The display device 15 displays the current height of the elevator car above the shaft bottom in millimeters.

Durch Drehen des Bedienelementes 8 in die gestrichelte Lage gemäß Figur 2 wird die Schachtbeleuchtung der Aufzugsanlage 1 ein- durch Drehen in die in Figur 2 mit ausgezogenen Linien gezeigte Position wird die Schachtbeleuchtung der Aufzugsanlage 1 ausgeschaltet. Entsprechend lässt sich durch Drehen des Bedienelementes 9 die Innenbeleuchtung der Aufzugskabine ein- und ausschalten, durch Drehen des Bedienelementes 21 die Energieversorgung der Aufzugsanlage 1 unterbrechen oder zuschalten.By turning the control element 8 in the dashed position according to FIG. 2 the shaft lighting of the elevator installation 1 is turned on by turning it into the in FIG. 2 shown in solid lines position, the shaft lighting of the elevator system 1 is turned off. Accordingly, by turning the operating element 9, the interior lighting of the elevator car can be switched on and off, interrupting or switching on the power supply of the elevator installation 1 by turning the operating element 21.

Als eine Sicherheitseinrichtung ist für die Aufzugsanlage 1 ein sogenannter "Sicherheitskreis" vorgesehen. In diesen Sicherheitskreis einbezogen sind verschiedene für die Betriebssicherheit der Aufzugsanlage 1 relevante Anlagenteile. Im einzelnen handelt es sich dabei im dargestellten Beispielsfall um Grenzschalter, welche den Fahrweg der Aufzugskabine nach oben und unten begrenzen, um die Kabinentüren sowie um die Schachttüren der Aufzugsanlage 1. Ein Fahrbetrieb der Aufzugsanlage 1 ist nur möglich bei geschlossenem Sicherheitskreis.As a safety device, a so-called "safety circuit" is provided for the elevator installation 1. Included in this safety circuit are various plant components relevant to the operational safety of the elevator installation 1. Specifically, in the illustrated example case, these are limit switches which limit the travel path of the elevator car up and down to the car doors and to the shaft doors of the elevator installation 1. A driving operation of the elevator installation 1 is only possible with the safety circuit closed.

Zur Unterbrechung des Sicherheitskreises beispielsweise in Notfällen anläßlich des Sonderbetriebes der Aufzugsanlage 1 kann das Bedienelement 10 aus seiner Ausgangsposition niedergedrückt werden. Die Drückstellung des Bedienelementes gibt folglich Aufschluss darüber, ob sich der Sicherheitskreis in geschlossenem oder unterbrochenem Zustand befindet.To interrupt the safety circuit, for example in emergencies on the occasion of the special operation of the elevator installation 1, the operating element 10 can be depressed from its starting position. The pressing position of the control element thus provides information about whether the safety circuit is in a closed or interrupted state.

Bei unterbrochenem Sicherheitskreis ist der Antriebsmotor der Aufzugsanlage 1 vom Netz getrennt und außerdem die Betriebsbremse stromlos geschaltet und folglich geschlossen.When the safety circuit is interrupted, the drive motor of the elevator installation 1 is disconnected from the mains and, in addition, the service brake is de-energized and consequently closed.

Dementsprechend dient das Bedienelement 10 zur Steuerung sowohl des Hauptantriebes als auch der Betriebsbremse der Aufzugsanlage 1. Im Falle hydraulischer Aufzugsanlagen bedingt eine Unterbrechung des Sicherheitskreises die Trennung der Antriebspumpe vom Netz sowie die Schließung der betreffenden Abströmventile.Accordingly, the control element 10 is used to control both the main drive and the service brake of the elevator system 1. In the case of hydraulic elevator systems requires an interruption of the safety circuit the separation of the drive pump from the network and the closure of the respective outflow valves.

Der Aufnahme des Fahrbetriebes der Aufzugsanlage 1 nach einer Unterbrechung des Sicherheitskreises geht dessen Überprüfung auf Vorliegen des geschlossenen Zustandes voraus. Dabei zeigt das Aufleuchten der Anzeigeeinrichtung 16 an, daß der Sicherheitskreis entsprechend überprüft wird. Leuchtet die Anzeigeeinrichtung 17 auf, so bedeutet dies, dass keine Grenzschalter der Aufzugsanlage 1 aktiviert sind. Bei Aufleuchten der Anzeigeeinrichtung 18 sind die Kabinentüren, bei Aufleuchten der Anzeigeeinrichtung 19 die Schachttüren der Aufzugsanlage 1 geschlossen. Leuchtet neben den Anzeigeeinrichtungen 16, 17, 18, 19 auch die Anzeigeeinrichtung 20 auf, so signalisiert dies die Fahrbereitschaft der Aufzugsanlage 1. Der Antriebsmotor der Aufzugsanlage 1 ist dann auf das Netz aufgeschaltet, die Betriebsbremse ist stromführend. Aufgrund dieser Zusammenhänge sind die Anzeigeeinrichtungen 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 indirekt auch Anzeigeeinrichtungen für den Betriebszustand des Hauptantriebes sowie der Betriebsbremse der Aufzugsanlage 1.The recording of the driving operation of the elevator installation 1 after an interruption of the safety circuit precedes its checking for the presence of the closed state. In this case, the illumination of the display device 16 indicates that the safety circuit is checked accordingly. If the display device 17 lights up, this means that no limit switches of the elevator installation 1 are activated. When the display device 18 lights up, the car doors, when the display device 19 lights up, the shaft doors of the elevator installation 1 are closed. If in addition to the display devices 16, 17, 18, 19, the display device 20 lights up, this signals the driving readiness of the elevator system 1. The drive motor of the elevator system 1 is then switched to the network, the service brake is energized. Because of these relationships, the display devices 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 are indirectly also display devices for the operating state of the main drive and the service brake of the elevator installation 1.

Ausschließlich der Steuerung von Funktionseinheiten der Aufzugsanlage 1 zu Zwecken der beispielsweise behördlichen Prüfung dienen die Bedienelemente 11a, 11b, 11c, 11d, 11e. Durch Drehen des Bedienelementes 11 a in die in Figur 2 gestrichelt angedeutete Stellung wird die numerische Steuerung der Aufzugsanlage 1 in den Prüfmodus überführt. Durch anschließendes Drücken der Bedienelemente 11b, 11d lassen sich die beiden voneinander unabhängigen Kreise der Betriebsbremse der Aufzugsanlage 1 steuern, wobei jedes der Bedienelemente 11b, 11d einem der Bremskreise zugeordnet ist.The control elements 11a, 11b, 11c, 11d, 11e are used exclusively for controlling functional units of the elevator installation 1 for purposes of, for example, official inspection.

Anschließend werden durch Drücken der Bedienelemente 11b, 11d beide Kreise der Betriebsbremse der Aufzugsanlage 1 in Freigabestellung geschaltet. Anhand der Anzeigeeinrichtungen 12, 13 lässt sich nun überprüfen, ob die Treibscheibe bzw. die Aufzugskabine der Aufzugsanlage 1 bei gelöster Betriebsbremse in Ruhe bleibt. Ist dies der Fall, so kann angenommen werden, daß die Masse des Gegengewichtes der Aufzugsanlage 1 vorschriftsgemäß gewählt ist.For example, in the context of the so-called "half-load test", the cabin of the elevator installation 1 is first loaded with half the payload. Then be by pressing the controls 11b, 11d both circuits of the service brake of the elevator system 1 in the release position. On the basis of the display devices 12, 13 it is now possible to check whether the traction sheave or the elevator car of the elevator installation 1 remains at rest when the service brake is released. If this is the case, then it can be assumed that the mass of the counterweight of the elevator installation 1 is selected in accordance with the regulations.

Durch Drücken der Bedienelemente 11c, 11e können die Rückmeldeleitungen der beiden Fahrschütze der Aufzugsanlage 1 unterbrochen werden. Diese Rückmeldeleitungen dienen in bekannter Weise der Überwachung der Funktionsfähigkeit der Fahrschütze und stellen insofern Sicherheitseinrichtungen der Aufzugsanlage 1 dar.
