Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Personenbeförderungsanlage, insbesondere eine Fahrtreppe oder einen Fahrsteig, mit einem umlaufenden Band, einer Antriebsstation und einer Umkehrstation. Die Antriebsstation ist im Bereich eines ersten Endes der Personenbeförderungsanlage angeordnet und weist eine Slave-Steuereinheit auf. Demgegenüber ist die Umkehrstation im Bereich eines zweiten Endes der Personenbeförderungsanlage angeordnet und weist eine Master-Steuereinheit auf. Zum Austausch von Daten sind die Master-Steuereinheit und die Slave-Steuereinheit durch einen Datenbus miteinander verbunden. Weiterhin weist die Slave-Steuereinheit eine erste Leiterplatte auf, die mit einem ersten Satz elektronischer Bauteile versehen ist und zur Übermittlung von die Funktion der Personenbeförderungsanlage betreffenden Daten an die Master-Steuereinheit dient. Die Master-Steuereinheit weist eine zweite Leiterplatte auf, die mit einem zweiten Satz elektronischer Bauteile versehen ist und zur Auswertung der Daten und Steuerung der Personenbeförderungsanlage dient. Eine derartige Personenbeförderungsanlage ist aus EP 780337 A bekannt.The present invention relates to a passenger transport system, in particular an escalator or moving walk, with a circulating belt, a drive station and a reversing station. The drive station is arranged in the region of a first end of the passenger transport installation and has a slave control unit. In contrast, the reversing station is arranged in the region of a second end of the passenger transport system and has a master control unit. For exchanging data, the master control unit and the slave control unit are interconnected by a data bus. Furthermore, the slave control unit has a first printed circuit board which is provided with a first set of electronic components and serves for the transmission of data relating to the function of the passenger transport installation to the master control unit. The master control unit has a second printed circuit board which is provided with a second set of electronic components and serves for the evaluation of the data and control of the passenger conveyor system. Such a passenger transport system is out EP 780337 A known.

In einer Treppe können auch mehrere Slaves eingesetzt werden.
Die Position des Masters ist nicht auf den unteren Treppenkopf beschränkt. Bei einer Anlage mit externem Schaltschrank ist der Master im externen Schaltschrank platziert. Im unteren und oberen Treppenkopf sind jeweils ein Slave platziert.In a staircase, several slaves can be used.
The position of the master is not limited to the lower stairwell. For a system with an external control cabinet, the master is placed in the external control cabinet. In each case a slave is placed in the lower and upper stairs.

Zum Betrieb und zur Überwachung herkömmlicher Fahrtreppen ist es bekannt, diese mit einem Steuerungssystem auszustatten, das im Bereich der Antriebsstation eine so genannte Slave-Steuereinheit und im Bereich der Umkehrstation eine so genannte Master-Steuereinheit umfasst. Anhand der Definition als "Master" beziehungsweise "Slave" wird ersichtlich, dass die Slave-Steuereinheit vorrangig dafür vorgesehen ist, Daten von den mit der Slave-Steuereinheit in Verbindung stehenden Peripheriegeräten, wie beispielsweise Sensoren, zu sammeln und an die Master-Steuereinheit zu übermitteln. Ferner ist die Slave-Steuereinheit eingerichtet, um von der Master-Steuereinheit abgegebene Steuerbefehle in Form von Steuersignalen zu empfangen und an die Peripheriegeräte weiterzugeben, wodurch beispielsweise ein an die Slave-Steuereinheit angeschlossenes Relais einer Fahrtrichtungsanzeige gesteuert werden kann. Die Master-Steuereinheit wird hauptsächlich für den Empfang der von der Slave-Steuereinheit übermittelten Daten, zur Auswertung der Daten und zur Steuerung der gesamten Fahrtreppe, insbesondere zur Steuerung der an die Master-Steuereinheit und die Slave-Steuereinheit angeschlossenen Peripheriegeräte verwendet. Aufgrund dieser unterschiedlichen Funktionen und Einsatzbereiche der Master-Steuereinheit und der Slave-Steuereinheit ergeben sich zwangsweise unterschiedliche Anforderungen an deren einzelne Bauteile. Dies wirkt sich insbesondere auf die elektronische Bauteile tragenden Leiterplatten der Master-Steuereinheit und Slave-Steuereinheit aus und erweist sich insbesondere dann als nachteilig, wenn Slave-Steuereinheiten mit unterschiedlichen Anforderungsprofilen eingesetzt werden. Somit ergibt sich insbesondere im Hinblick auf eine Massenproduktion der Leiterplatten ein vergleichsweise hoher Kostenaufwand. Ein weiterer Nachteil besteht darin, dass bei einem Ausfall einer Steuereinheit die Ersatz-Steuereinheit mit den jeweiligen Betriebsdaten versorgt werden muss, die oftmals nicht vor Ort verfügbar sind.For operating and monitoring conventional escalators, it is known to equip them with a control system comprising a so-called slave control unit in the area of the drive station and a so-called master control unit in the area of the reversing station. From the definition of a "master" or "slave", it can be seen that the slave control unit is primarily intended to collect data from the peripherals associated with the slave control unit, such as sensors, and to send them to the master control unit to transfer. Furthermore, the slave control unit is set up by the master control unit issued control commands in the form of control signals to receive and pass on to the peripheral devices, whereby for example a connected to the slave control unit relay of a turn signal can be controlled. The master control unit is mainly used for receiving the data transmitted from the slave control unit, for evaluating the data and for controlling the entire escalator, in particular for controlling the peripherals connected to the master control unit and the slave control unit. Due to these different functions and areas of application of the master control unit and the slave control unit, forcing different demands on their individual components. This has an effect, in particular, on the electronic components-carrying printed circuit boards of the master control unit and slave control unit, and proves particularly disadvantageous if slave control units with different requirement profiles are used. This results in a comparatively high cost, in particular with regard to mass production of the printed circuit boards. Another disadvantage is that in case of failure of a control unit, the replacement control unit must be supplied with the respective operating data, which are often not available on site.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, eine Personenbeförderungsanlage zu schaffen, bei der durch eine Vereinheitlichung der Bestandteile des Steuerungssystems eine Kostenersparnis bei der Herstellung dieser Bestandteile erzielt werden kann. Außerdem soll auch der Austausch vereinfacht werden.The invention is based on the object to provide a passenger transport system, in which a cost savings in the production of these components can be achieved by standardizing the components of the control system. In addition, the exchange should also be simplified.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist eine Personenbeförderungsanlage mit den eingangs genannten Merkmalen erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gekennzeichnet. Erfindingsgemäß haben also die erste Leiterplatte und die zweite Leiterplatte einen identischen Aufbau. Die erfindungsgemäße Personenbeförderungsanlage beruht auf der Erkenntnis, dass sowohl für die z.B. in der Antriebsstation angeordnete Slave-Steuereinheit als auch für die z.B. in der Umkehrstation angeordnete Master-Steuereinheit eine einheitliche Leiterplatte eingesetzt werden kann. Dies vereinfacht die Herstellung der Leiterplatten für die Personenbeförderungsanlage, wodurch eine Kostenersparnis erzielt werden kann. Weiterhin führt dies zu einer Vereinfachung beim Zusammenbau der Master-Steuereinheit und der Slave-Steuereinheit, da keine unterschiedlichen Leiterplatten herangezogen werden müssen, wodurch eine Verwechslung der Leiterplatten ausgeschlossen werden kann. Gleichermaßen werden auch Reparaturmaßnahmen vereinfacht, da ein falscher Austausch nicht mehr möglich ist und eine Bereithaltung verschiedener Leiterplattentypen nicht mehr erforderlich ist. Besonders vorteilhaft erweist es sich, dass die mit einer Speichereinheit ausgestattete Leiterplatte im Falle des Austausches schnell und mit einfachen Mitteln mit den Betriebsdaten der Personenbeförderungsanlage dadurch versehen werden kann, dass die auf der Leiterplatte der anderen Steuereinheit gespeicherten Daten über den Datenbus auf die neu eingebaute Leiterplatte der Slave-Steuereinheit übertragen werden. Zudem wird dadurch eine zusätzliche Sicherheitsmaßnahme geschaffen.To solve this problem, a passenger transport system with the features mentioned is characterized according to the invention by the features of claim 1. According to the invention, therefore, the first circuit board and the second circuit board have an identical structure. The passenger transport system according to the invention is based on the knowledge that both for the example arranged in the drive station slave control unit as well as for the example arranged in the reversing station master control unit a uniform circuit board can be used. This simplifies the production of printed circuit boards for the passenger transport system, whereby a cost savings can be achieved. Furthermore, this leads to a simplification in the assembly of the master control unit and the slave control unit, since no different circuit boards must be used, whereby a confusion of the circuit boards can be excluded. Likewise, repair measures are simplified, as a wrong exchange is no longer possible and a provision of different types of PCBs is no longer required. It is particularly advantageous that the equipped with a memory unit circuit board can be provided in the case of replacement quickly and with simple means with the operating data of passenger transport system characterized in that the data stored on the circuit board of the other control unit data via the data bus to the newly installed circuit board be transmitted to the slave control unit. In addition, this creates an additional security measure.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der erfindungsgemäßen Personenbeförderungsanlage sind in den Ansprüchen 2 bis 9 beschrieben.Advantageous embodiments of passenger transport system according to the invention are described in claims 2 to 9.

Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform besteht darin, dass der erste Satz elektronischer Bauteile und der zweite Satz elektronischer Bauteile mindestens teilweise identisch ausgebildet sind. Mit anderen Worten können neben dem gleichen Aufbau der ersten und zweiten Leiterplatte auch weitgehend alle elektronischen Bauteile der wenigstens zwei Leiterplatten identisch sein, um so eine weitere Vereinheitlichung der Bestandteile des Steuerungssystems der Personenbeförderungsanlage zu erreichen. Daraus lässt sich wiederum eine Vereinfachung bei der Herstellung und somit eine Kostenersparnis erzielen. So kann beispielsweise vorgesehen sein, dass eine bestimmte Anzahl von Bauteilen bei der ersten und zweiten Leiterplatte identisch ausgebildet sind und an den gleichen Steckplätzen der identisch ausgebildeten ersten und zweiten Leiterplatte aufgebracht sind.A preferred embodiment is that the first set of electronic components and the second set of electronic components are at least partially identical. In other words, in addition to the same structure of the first and second printed circuit board also largely all electronic components of the at least two circuit boards may be identical, so as to achieve a further standardization of the components of the control system of passenger transport system. This in turn can be a simplification in the production and thus achieve a cost savings. For example, it may be provided that a specific number of components are identical in the first and second printed circuit boards are and are applied to the same slots of the identically formed first and second circuit board.

Eine weitere bevorzugte Ausführungsform besteht darin, dass die Leiterplatten mit einem Schalter versehen sind, wobei die Leiterplatten in Abhängigkeit von der Stellung des Schalters als Master-Steuereinheit oder als Slave-Steuereinheit konfigurierbar sind. Dieser Schalter wird vorzugsweise manuell und vor Ort betätigt, das heißt bei einer Installation oder im Rahmen einer Reparatur.A further preferred embodiment is that the circuit boards are provided with a switch, wherein the circuit boards are configurable depending on the position of the switch as a master control unit or as a slave control unit. This switch is preferably operated manually and locally, that is, during installation or as part of a repair.

Zweckmäßigerweise weisen die Leiterplatten eine erste optische Anzeigeeinheit zur Anzeige der Konfiguration als Master-Steuereinheit oder als Slave-Steuereinheit auf. Dies vereinfacht in schlecht einsehbaren oder wenig beleuchteten Bereichen das Erkennen der Stellung des Schalters und kann auch als zusätzliches Erkennungsmittel neben dem Schalter dienen.Expediently, the printed circuit boards have a first optical display unit for displaying the configuration as a master control unit or as a slave control unit. This simplifies recognizing the position of the switch in poorly visible or poorly illuminated areas and can also serve as an additional detection means next to the switch.

Bevorzugterweise weisen die Leiterplatten eine zweite optische Anzeigeeinheit zur Anzeige von Daten, insbesondere von Fehlermeldungen, auf. Als Anzeigeeinheit wird insbesondere ein LCD-Display verwendet. So kann auch ohne Anschluss eines Auswertegerätes, wie beispielsweise eines Laptops, erkannt werden, um welche Fehlermeldung oder Fehlercode es sich handelt. Neben Fehlermeldungen können auch andere Daten, wie beispielsweise der Betriebsstatus, angezeigt werden. Ferner kann die Anzeigeeinheit auch als Echtzeituhr dienen.The printed circuit boards preferably have a second optical display unit for displaying data, in particular error messages. As a display unit, an LCD display is used in particular. Thus, even without connecting an evaluation device, such as a laptop, can be detected, which error message or error code is. In addition to error messages, other data, such as the operating status, can also be displayed. Furthermore, the display unit can also serve as a real-time clock.

Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform weisen die Leiterplatten wenigstens eine Schnittstelle zum Anschluss eines Peripheriegerätes, insbesondere eines Laptops, auf. Dies ermöglicht insbesondere im Hinblick auf Wartungszwecke eine schnelle Ermittlung der Fehlerquelle. Zudem kann der ermittelte Fehler unter Umständen bereits softwaretechnisch mit Hilfe des angeschlossenen Laptops behoben werden.According to a further preferred embodiment, the printed circuit boards have at least one interface for connecting a peripheral device, in particular a laptop. This allows a quick determination of the error source, in particular with regard to maintenance purposes. In addition, the detected error may already be remedied by software using the connected laptop.

Die Slave-Steuereinheit und/oder die Master-Steuereinheit können zur Überwachung der Fahrgeschwindigkeit, der Fahrtrichtung, des Sicherheitsschalters oder des Bremsweges des Bandes verwendet werden. Als weitere Funktionen der Personenbeförderungsanlage kann auch der Synchronlauf der Handläufe, die Anwesenheit von Stufen oder Paletten, die Funktionsfähigkeit des Sicherheitskreises, die Schützabfallkontrolle und die Funktionsfähigkeit von Lichtschranken überwacht werden.The slave control unit and / or the master control unit can be used to monitor the vehicle speed, the direction of travel, the safety switch or the braking distance of the belt. As further functions of the passenger transport system, the synchronous operation of the handrails, the presence of steps or pallets, the functionality of the safety circuit, the contactor waste control and the functionality of photoelectric sensors can be monitored.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform weist die Antriebsstation eine Antriebseinheit auf, wobei die Master-Steuereinheit ein Bremssignal an die Antriebseinheit übermittelt, wenn die Slave-Steuereinheit oder die Master-Steuereinheit einen Fehler detektiert. Weiterhin ist es von Vorteil, wenn die Master-Steuereinheit in vorgegebenen Zeiträumen ein Prüfsignal zur Überprüfung der Funktion des Datenbusses aussendet.According to a further embodiment, the drive station has a drive unit, wherein the master control unit transmits a brake signal to the drive unit when the slave control unit or the master control unit detects an error. Furthermore, it is advantageous if the master control unit emits a test signal for checking the function of the data bus in predetermined periods of time.

a view from above of a circuit board of the escalator according to Fig. 1 ,

Die Fig. 1 zeigt schematisch eine Personenbeförderungsanlage in Form einer Fahrtreppe 1 mit einem umlaufenden Stufenband 10 zur Beförderung von Personen von einer ersten Ebene 5 in eine zweite Ebene 6 oder umgekehrt (siehe Pfeil).The Fig. 1 schematically shows a passenger transport system in the form of an escalator 1 with a rotating step belt 10 for transporting people from a first level 5 to a second level 6 or vice versa (see arrow).

Die Fahrtreppe 1 umfasst im Bereich eines ersten Endes 2 im Bereich der zweiten Ebene 6 eine Antriebsstation 20 mit einer einen Motor und eine Antriebswelle umfassenden Antriebseinheit. Im Bereich eines zweiten Endes 3 der Fahrtreppe 1 und im Bereich der ersten Ebene 5 ist eine Umkehrstation 50 angeordnet. Die Antriebsstation 20 weist eine Slave-Steuereinheit 30 mit einer ersten Leiterplatte 40 auf. Die Umkehrstation 50 umfasst eine Mastereinheit 60 mit einer zweiten Leiterplatte 70. Zum Austausch von Daten sind die Slave-Steuereinheit 30 und die Master-Steuereinheit 60 über einen Datenbus in Form einer Datenleitung 80 miteinander verbunden. Die erste Leiterplatte 40 und die zweite Leiterplatte 70 haben einen identischen Aufbau. Mit anderen Worten weisen die Trägerplatten der Leiterplatten 40, 70 die gleiche Aufteilung und die gleichen zur Verfügung stehenden Anschlüsse auf.In the area of a first end 2 in the region of the second level 6, the escalator 1 comprises a drive station 20 with a drive unit comprising a motor and a drive shaft. In the area of a second end 3 of the escalator 1 and in the area of the first level 5 is a reversing station 50 arranged. The drive station 20 has a slave control unit 30 with a first circuit board 40. The reversing station 50 comprises a master unit 60 with a second printed circuit board 70.

The first circuit board 40 and the second circuit board 70 have an identical structure. In other words, the carrier plates of the circuit boards 40, 70 have the same distribution and the same available connections.

Im Folgenden werden anhand der Fig. 2 die auf der ersten Leiterplatte 40 und der zweiten Leiterplatte 70 angeordneten Bauteile beschrieben. Hierzu ist anzumerken, dass ein möglicher Unterschied zwischen den Leiterplatten 40 und 70 darin bestehen kann, dass die im Folgenden erläuterten elektronischen Bauteile der Leiterplatten 40, 70 nur im Wesentlichen übereinstimmen, das heisst bei einer der Leiterplatten 40, 70 weniger oder mehr Bauteile vorhanden sind. So können bei einer der Leiterplatten 40, 70 unter Umständen auch grundsätzlich vorhandene Anschlussmöglichkeiten frei bleiben.The following are based on the Fig. 2 described on the first circuit board 40 and the second circuit board 70 components. It should be noted that a possible difference between the printed circuit boards 40 and 70 may consist in that the electronic components of the printed circuit boards 40, 70 explained below are only substantially identical, that is to say that fewer or more components are present in one of the printed circuit boards 40, 70 , Thus, in one of the printed circuit boards 40, 70 may also remain basically available connection options.

Wie Fig. 2 zu entnehmen ist, weisen die beiden Leiterplatten 40, 70 im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel einen Mikroprozessor 100, ein in mehrere Bauteile unterteiltes Netzteil 101, eine erste optische Anzeigeeinheit 103 in Form eines LCD-Displays zur Anzeige von Fehlermeldungen und mehrere insbesondere im Falle des Funktionsausfalls der Fahrtreppe 1 zu betätigende Bedientasten 105 auf.As Fig. 2 can be seen, the two circuit boards 40, 70 in the illustrated embodiment, a microprocessor 100, a divided into several components power supply unit 101, a first optical display unit 103 in the form of an LCD display for displaying error messages and more especially in the event of malfunction of the escalator 1 to be operated keys 105 on.

Weiterhin ist eine RS485-Schnittstelle 106, beispielsweise für eine Datenbus-Steuerung oder einen Frequenzumrichter, sowie eine RS232-Schnittstelle 107 zum Anschluss eines Laptops zu Wartungszwecken vorhanden.Furthermore, an RS485 interface 106, for example for a data bus control or a frequency converter, and an RS232 interface 107 for connecting a laptop for maintenance purposes available.

Optokoppler-Einheiten 108 dienen zur galvanischen Trennung. Ferner ist ein Spannungsversorgungsstecker 109, ein Ausgangsstecker 110 für die Steuerung und Signalisierung, ein Eingangsstecker 113 für die Steuerung, ein Eingangsstecker 112 für die Geschwindigkeitsüberwachung des Bandes 10 sowie ein Stecker 111 zum Datenaustausch zwischen Master-Steuereinheit 60 und Slave-Steuereinheit 40 vorgesehen.
