Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Modernisierung einer Aufzugsanlage gemäss dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1. Weiterhin betrifft die Erfindung die Verwendung einer Eingabeeinrichtung für die mit diesem Verfahren zu modernisierende und modernisierte Aufzugsanlage sowie ein Computerprogrammprodukt zum Betreiben und zum Modernisieren einer Aufzugsanlage.The invention relates to a method for modernizing an elevator installation according to the preamble of claim 1. Furthermore, the invention relates to the use of an input device for the lift system to be modernized and modernized with this method and to a computer program product for operating and modernizing an elevator installation.

Aufzugsanlagen zur Beförderung von Personen und Gütern sind seit langer Zeit bekannt und gebräuchlich. Da Aufzugsanlagen relativ langlebige Investitionsgütern mit Lebensdauern von 20 Jahren und mehr sind, kann es passieren, dass diese mit der Zeit den sich ändernden Anforderungen nicht mehr genügen. Unter bestimmten Umständen wird dann eine Modernisierung der Anlage erforderlich. Unter dem Begriff "Modernisierung" wird im Folgenden nicht nur das Austauschen von technologisch veralteten Komponenten verstanden. Modernisierung bedeutet insbesondere auch, bestehende Anlagen umzubauen oder umzugestalten und so diese an neue Bedürfnisse anzupassen. Durch Modernisierungen können Aufzugsanlagen zum Beispiel sicherer, effizienter, für den Benutzer komfortabler und/oder für den Betreiber günstiger betrieben werden.Elevator systems for the transport of persons and goods have been known and used for a long time. As elevator systems are relatively durable capital goods with lifespans of 20 years and more, over time they may no longer meet the changing requirements. Under certain circumstances, then a modernization of the plant is required. The term "modernization" is understood below not only the replacement of technologically obsolete components. In particular, modernization also means rebuilding or redesigning existing plants and adapting them to new needs. By modernizing elevator systems, for example, safer, more efficient, more convenient for the user and / or operated cheaper for the operator.

Bei Aufzugsanlagen älterer Bauart werden die Stockwerke durch Drücken von taktilen Tasten eines in einer Aufzugskabine angeordneten Eingabeeinrichtung gewählt. Wachsender Beliebtheit erfreuen sich Aufzugsanlagen mit auf Stockwerken angeordneten Stockwerkterminals, über die von ausserhalb der Kabine Zielrufe eingegeben können, wodurch die Anlagen sich effizienter betreiben lassen.In elevator systems of older type, the floors are selected by pressing tactile keys of an input device arranged in an elevator car. Elevators are becoming more and more popular with floor-level terminals, which can be used to enter destination calls from outside the cab, making them more efficient to operate.

Aus der US 2008/149432 A1 ist ein Verfahren zur Modernisierung einer Aufzugsanlage bekannt.From the US 2008/149432 A1 A method for modernizing an elevator installation is known.

In der EP 1 900 672 B1 ist ein Verfahren zur Modernisierung einer bereits mit Stockwerkterminals ausgerüsteten Aufzugsanlage beschrieben. Mittels der Modernisierung können die Steuerungsfunktionen der Aufzugsanlage aktualisiert werden. Dazu wird ein mobiles Gerät, mit dem eine Nahfeld- Funkverbindung zur Übermittlung von Steuerdaten aufbaubar ist, verwendet. In der Praxis hat sich gezeigt, dass Planer und Gebäudeeigentümer häufig wenigstens für eine Anfangsphase konventionelle Anlagen älterer Bauart bevorzugen, bei denen Liftbenutzer die gewünschten Stockwerke über kabinenseitige Eingabeeinrichtungen wählen können.In the EP 1 900 672 B1 a method for the modernization of an already equipped with floor terminals elevator system is described. By means of the modernization, the control functions of the elevator installation can be updated. For this purpose, a mobile device with which a near-field radio link for the transmission of control data is buildable used. In practice, it has been found that planners and building owners often prefer, for at least an initial stage, conventional older-style installations in which lift users can select the desired floors via cabin-side input devices.

Ein weiteres Modernisierungsverfahren für Aufzugsanlagen ist aus der EP 1 935 824 A1 bekannt geworden. Die zu modernisierende Aufzugsanlage weist mehrere nebeneinander angeordnete Aufzüge auf. Auf den Stockwerken befinden sich Terminals zum Eingeben von Ziel- Stockwerkrufen. Das Verfahren zeichnet sich kurz zusammengefasst dadurch aus, dass auf den Stockwerken neue Stockwerkterminals installiert werden und diese jeweils in eine bereits bestehende Gruppensteuerung eingebunden werden.Another modernization process for elevator systems is from the EP 1 935 824 A1 known. The elevator system to be modernized has several elevators arranged next to one another. On the floors there are terminals for entering destination floor calls. Briefly summarized, the process is characterized by the fact that new storey terminals are installed on the floors and these are integrated in an already existing group control.

Es ist deshalb eine Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, die Nachteile des Bekannten zu vermeiden, und insbesondere ein Verfahren zur Modernisierung von Aufzugsanlagen der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, mit welchem bzw. durch welches eine Aufzugsanlage geschaffen wird, mit der ein Benutzer eines Aufzugs einfach und effizient zum gewünschten Stockwerk befördert werden kann. Weiter soll das Verfahren kostengünstig sein und mit geringem Aufwand den aktuellen Anforderungen hinsichtlich Zielrufsteuerung genügen.It is therefore an object of the present invention to avoid the disadvantages of the known, and in particular to provide a method for the modernization of elevator systems of the type mentioned, with which or by which an elevator system is created with a user of a lift easy and can be efficiently transported to the desired floor. Next, the process should be cost-effective and meet the current requirements for destination call control with little effort.

Diese und andere Aufgaben werden erfindungsgemäss mit einem Verfahren gelöst, das die Merkmale im Anspruch 1 aufweist. Bei der Modernisierung wird auf wenigstens einem Stockwerk des Gebäudes ein Stockwerkterminal zum Eingeben eines Ziel- Stockwerkrufs installiert. Dieses Stockwerkterminal wird derart an die mit der kabinenseitigen Eingabeeinrichtung verbundene Steuereinrichtung (direkt oder indirekt) gekoppelt, dass wenigstens in einem Standartmodus nach Eingabe des mittels des Stockwerkterminal erfassten Ziel- Stockwerkrufs die Kabine automatisch zum angewählten Ziel- Stockwerk fährt, wobei gleichzeitig eine Stockwerkwahl in der Kabine durch Benützen der Eingabeeinrichtung nicht mehr möglich ist. Bei der vorerwähnten indirekten Ankopplung kann bei der Modernisierung in ein die Steuereinrichtung enthaltendes Steuersystem eine weitere Steuereinrichtung integriert werden. Durch das Hinzufügen des Stockwerksterminals zur bestehenden Anlage und die elektronische Anbindung des Stockwerkterminals lässt sich der wenigstens eine Aufzug durch eine vorteilhafte Zielrufsteuerung betreiben. Dadurch, dass im Standartmodus nach erfolgter Stockwerkwahl unter Verwendung des Stockwerkterminals ausgeschlossen oder zumindest nur unter bestimmten Voraussetzungen über die Eingabeeinrichtung gesperrt ist, lassen sich unplanmässige Stopps der Kabine verhindern und so die Aufzugsanlage effizienter betreiben. Die kabinenseitige Eingabeeinrichtung bleibt erhalten bzw. kann weiter genutzt werden.These and other objects are achieved according to the invention with a method having the features in claim 1. In the modernization, a floor terminal for entering a destination floor call is installed on at least one floor of the building. This floor terminal is coupled (directly or indirectly) to the control device connected to the cabin-side input device such that, at least in a standard mode, after entering the destination floor call detected by the floor terminal, the car automatically moves to the selected destination floor, at the same time selecting a floor in the floor Cabin by using the input device is no longer possible. In the case of the above-mentioned indirect coupling, a further control device can be integrated in the modernization into a control system containing the control device. By adding the floor terminal to the existing system and the electronic connection of the floor terminal, the at least one elevator can be operated by an advantageous destination call control. The fact that is excluded in the standard mode after the floor selection using the floor terminal or locked at least only under certain conditions on the input device, can prevent unplanned stops of the car and operate the elevator system more efficient. The cabin-side input device is retained or can continue to be used.

Die aktivierbaren Anzeigemittel zur Darstellung von gewählten Stockwerken aufweisende Eingabeeinrichtung werden bei der Modernisierung der Steuereinrichtung weiter derart angepasst, dass die Anzeigemittel nach Eingabe eines Stockwerkrufs über das Stockwerkterminal aktiviert werden. Die erwähnten Anzeigemittel können dabei beispielsweise auf einer Touchscreen-Oberfläche darstellbare Buchstaben, Zahlen, Zeichen oder Figuren sein. Aktivierte Anzeigemittel können beispielsweise heller oder in einer anderen Farbe aufleuchten. Damit sieht der Benutzer auch in der Kabine, welches Stockwerk er vorgängig am Stockwerkterminal gewählt hat und zu welchem Ziel der Aufzug ihn nun befördern wird.The activatable display means for displaying selected floors having input device are further adapted in the modernization of the control device such that the display means are activated after entering a landing call over the floor terminal. The mentioned display means may be, for example, on a touchscreen surface representable letters, numbers, characters or figures. Activated display means may, for example, light up brighter or in a different color. Thus, the user sees in the cabin, which floor he has previously selected on the floor terminal and to which destination the elevator will now carry him.

Die bereits bestehende Eingabeeinrichtung kann eine Touchscreen-Oberfläche mit vorzugsweise kapazitiv ausgestalteten Eingabetasten aufweisen, wobei sie vor der Modernisierung auf Tastenberührungen reagieren und so die Eingabe des gewünschten Stockwerks durch den Benutzer ermöglichen. Bei der Modernisierung kann die Steuereinrichtung derart angepasst werden, dass wenigstens in einem Standartmodus die auf Berührung reagierende Touchscreen-Funktion der Eingabetasten für die Stockwerkwahl deaktiviert ist. Neben dem kapazitiven System sind auch resistive, induktive oder andere berührungsempfindliche Systeme denkbar.The existing input device may have a touch screen surface with preferably capacitively designed input keys, and they respond to key touches prior to the modernization and thus allow the user to enter the desired floor. In the modernization, the control device can be adapted such that, at least in a standard mode, the touch-sensitive function of the input buttons for the floor selection is deactivated. In addition to the capacitive system, resistive, inductive or other touch-sensitive systems are also conceivable.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform kann bei der Modernisierung die Steuereinrichtung derart beispielsweise durch Anpassen des Steuerungsprogramms eingestellt werden, dass die wenigstens der Stockwerkwahl zugeordneten Tasten oder der Stockwerkmahl zugeordnete Bereich der Touchscreen-Oberfläche der Eingabeeinrichtung nach der Modernisierung im Wesentlichen nur noch Informationszwecken dient.In a preferred embodiment, in the modernization, the control device can be adjusted, for example, by adjusting the control program, that the area of the touchscreen surface of the input device associated with at least the floor selection or the area of the touchscreen surface of the input device essentially only serves informational purposes after the modernization.

Die Eingabeeinrichtung kann neben Tasten zur Stockwerkwahl über weitere spezielle Eingabetasten verfügen. Diese speziellen Eingabetasten können etwa für die Alarmierung in Notsituationen, zur Notöffnung oder etwa zum Sicherstellen einer längeren Öffnung zum Aussteigen von behinderten Benutzern versehen sein. Das System enthaltend Stockwerkterminal, Eingabeeinrichtung und Steuereinrichtung kann bei der Modernisierung derart angepasst werden, dass nach der Modernisierung die erwähnten speziellen Eingabetasten in einem Betriebsmodus betreibbar sind, in dem die speziellen Eingabetasten - im Unterschied zu den Eingabetasten für die Stockwerkwahl - aktivierbar bleiben.The input device may have keys for floor selection as well as other special input keys. These special input keys can be provided for example for alarming in emergency situations, for emergency opening or for ensuring a longer opening for disembarking disabled users. The system comprising the floor terminal, input device and control device can be adapted in the modernization such that after the modernization said special input keys are operable in an operating mode in which the special input keys - unlike the input keys for floor selection - remain activated.

Wenn die Eingabeeinrichtung einen Kartenleser und/oder eine Behinderten-Taste umfasst, kann es vorteilhaft sein, wenn bei der Modernisierung die Steuereinrichtung derart angepasst wird, dass nach Lesen einer autorisierten Karte bzw. bei Tastendruck oder - Berührung auf die Behinderten-Taste die deaktivierten Eingabetasten zur erneuten Eingabe für eine Aktivierung frei gegeben werden. Auf diese Weise kann eine effiziente und dennoch flexible Betriebsweise für den Aufzug nach der Modernisierung gewährleistet werden.If the input device comprises a card reader and / or a disabled key, it may be advantageous if, during the modernization, the control device is adapted such that after reading an authorized card or pressing or touching the disabled key the deactivated input keys to be re-entered for activation. In this way, an efficient yet flexible operation of the elevator after the modernization can be ensured.

Ein weiterer Aspekt der Erfindung betrifft die Verwendung einer kabinenseitigen Eingabeeinrichtung, welche vorzugsweise eine Touchscreen-Oberfläche mit vorzugsweise kapazitiv ausgestalteten Eingabetasten aufweist, wobei sich die Eingabeeinrichtung dadurch auszeichnet, dass sie unverändert in einer Aufzugsanlage vor und nach einer Modernisierung verwendet werden kann. Vor der Modernisierung muss der Benutzer das gewünschte Stockwerk über Eingabetasten oder andere Eingabemittel eingeben. Nach der Modernisierung dient die Eingabeeinrichtung in Bezug auf die die Stockwerken betreffenden Eingabemittel nur noch zu Informationszwecken. Nach der Stockwerkwahl, d.h. nach Eingabe des mittels eines Stockwerkterminals erfassten Ziel-Stockwerkrufs ist eine Stockwerkwahl in der Kabine durch Benützen der Eingabeeinrichtung nicht mehr möglich.Another aspect of the invention relates to the use of a cabin-side input device, which preferably has a touchscreen surface with preferably capacitively designed input keys, wherein the input device is characterized in that it can be used unchanged in an elevator installation before and after a modernization. Before upgrading, the user must enter the desired floor via input keys or other input means. After the modernization, the input device only serves for information purposes with respect to the input means relating to the floors. After the floor choice, i. after entering the destination floor call detected by means of a floor terminal, a floor selection in the cabin is no longer possible by using the input device.

Schliesslich betrifft ein weiterer Aspekt der Erfindung ein Computerprogrammprodukt zum Betreiben und zum Modernisieren der vorgängig beschriebenen Anlage.Finally, another aspect of the invention relates to a computer program product for operating and modernizing the previously described system.

Weitere Einzelmerkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung eines Ausführungsbeispiels und aus den Zeichnungen. Es zeigen:

Figur 1 zeigt eine insgesamt mit 1 bezeichnete Aufzugsanlage mit einem Aufzug 2, der eine in einem vertikalen Schacht bewegbare Kabine aufweist. Je nach Grösse des Gebäudes und Gebäudezweck kann die Aufzugsanlage auch mehrere nebeneinander angeordnete Aufzüge aufweisen, die gleich oder ähnlich wie in Figur 1 ausgestaltet sind. Ebenfalls nicht dargestellt sind die oberhalb oder unterhalb in Bezug auf die Stockwerkebene F befindlichen weiteren Stockwerke. FIG. 1 shows a generally designated 1 elevator system with a lift 2, the having a movable in a vertical shaft cabin. Depending on the size of the building and the purpose of the building, the elevator installation can also have several elevators arranged next to one another which are the same or similar to those in FIG FIG. 1 are designed. Also not shown are the above or below located in relation to the floor level F further floors.

Eine Kabine 3 des Aufzugs 2 ist beispielhaft an mehreren Tragseilen 13 befestigt und über dem Fachmann an sich bekannte Antriebsmittel nach oben und unten bewegbar. Das nachfolgend noch näher beschriebe Modernisierungsverfahren eignet sich selbstverständlich aber auch für andere Anlagetypen. Insbesondere kommen anstatt Tragseilen auch andere Tragmittel wie einzelne oder mehrere Tragbänder aus unterschiedlichen Materialen und Zusammensetzungen wie Kunststoffe, Metalle oder andere Werkstoffe in Frage. Auch für hydraulisch betreibbare Aufzüge wäre das Modernisierungsverfahren vorstellbar.A car 3 of the elevator 2 is attached by way of example to a plurality of supporting cables 13 and can be moved up and down via drive means known per se to those skilled in the art. Of course, the modernization method described in more detail below is also suitable for other types of installations. In particular, instead of carrying ropes other suspension means such as single or multiple straps made of different materials and compositions such as plastics, metals or other materials in question. Even for hydraulically operable elevators, the modernization process would be conceivable.

Die Aufzugsanlage gemäss Figur 1 enthält auf jedem Stockwerk des Gebäudes eine an einer vertikalen Wand angebrachte, neben dem Aufzugsschacht befindliche Eingabeeinrichtung 7, über die ein Benutzer die Kabine auf sein Stockwerk rufen kann. Derartige stockwerkseitige Eingabeeinrichtungen finden sich auch in den darüber und darunter liegenden Stockwerken. An einer Innenseite einer Kabinenwand der Aufzugskabine 3 ist eine mit 4 bezeichnete Eingabeeinrichtung angeordnet. Die Eingabeeinrichtung 4 verfügt über Eingabetasten 5, über die der Benutzer sein Ziel- Stockwerk eingeben kann. Neben diesen Ziel-Stockwerk -Eingabetasten 5 weist die Eingabeeinrichtung 4 weitere Tasten 11 für Spezialzwecke auf. Diese Tasten 11 dienen beispielsweise jeweils zur Alarmierung, Notöffnung oder als sogenannte Behinderten-Taste. Das Stockwerkterminal 8 weist z.B. eine Touchscreen-Oberfläche auf, auf der die Eingabetasten 9 und 11 angeordnet sind.10 with a line is indicated, via the (not shown) drive means are controlled. The elevator system according to FIG. 1 contains on each floor of the building mounted on a vertical wall, located next to the elevator shaft input device 7, via which a user can call the cabin on his floor. Such floor-side input devices can also be found in the floors above and below. On an inner side of a cabin wall of the elevator car 3, an input device designated 4 is arranged. The input device 4 has input keys 5 through which the user can input his destination floor. Besides these destination floor input keys 5, the input device 4 has further keys 11 for special purposes. These buttons 11 are used, for example, each alarm, emergency opening or as a so-called disabled button. The floor terminal 8 has, for example, a touch screen surface on which the input keys 9 and 11 are arranged.

Die mit 6 bezeichnete Steuereinrichtung ist über die durch Linien angedeuteten Leitungen elektronisch mit der kabinenseitigen Eingabeeinrichtung 4, der Kabinenruf-Eingabeeinrichtung 7 sowie über die Leitung 10 mit dem Antrieb für den Aufzug 2 verbunden. Die kabinenseitige Einrichtung weist eine Touchscreen-Oberfläche auf, deren Eingabetasten 5 und 11 als kapazitive berührungssensitive Tasten ausgestaltet sind. Die Eingabeeinrichtung 4 ist derart ausgestaltet, dass zum Beispiel bei oder nach der Wahl eines Stockwerks die entsprechende Taste nach Berührung durch den Benutzer aufleuchtet. Die Steuereinrichtung 6 umfasst (nicht dargestellte Speichermittel) auf denen Daten und ein Computerprogramm zum Betreiben der Aufzugsanlage 1 gespeichert sind. Die Steuereinrichtung 6 verfügt über eine Schnittstelle 16, über die eine Kommunikation mit dem Steuersystem herstellbar und weitere Daten an die Speichermittel der Steuereinrichtung 6 einspeisbar sind.The designated 6 control device is connected via the lines indicated by lines electronically connected to the cab side input device 4, the car call input device 7 and the line 10 to the drive for the elevator 2. The cabin side device has a touch screen surface, the input keys 5 and 11 are designed as capacitive touch-sensitive buttons. The Input device 4 is designed such that, for example, upon or after the selection of a floor, the corresponding button lights up after being touched by the user. The control device 6 comprises storage means (not shown) on which data and a computer program for operating the elevator installation 1 are stored. The control device 6 has an interface 16, via which a communication with the control system can be produced and further data can be fed to the storage means of the control device 6.

Im Laufe der Zeit können sich die an eine Aufzugsanlage gestellte Anfordnungen ändern. Ausgehend von der bestehenden Aufzugsanlage nach Figur 1 kann die Aufzugsanlage durch das erfindurigsgemässe Modernisierungsverfahren derart abgeändert werden, dass die Aufzugsanlage danach effizient und zeitgemäss betrieben werden kann. Bei der Modernisierung werden auf den Stockwerken des Gebäudes Stockwerkterminals 8 installiert, die über Datenleitungen 18 mit der Steuereinrichtung 6 verbunden werden (Fig. 2). Die Stockwerkterminals 8 können wie aus dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäss Figur 2 hervorgeht, als säulenartige, gegenüber dem Boden der Stockwerksebene F vorstehende Säulenkörper ausgestaltet sein. Das Stockwerkterminal 8 verfügt beispielhaft über eine schräge Fläche, auf der für jedes Stockwerk Eingabetasten 9 angeordnet sind. Auf einer horizontalen Fläche sind Anzeigemittel 14 zur Zuweisung des Aufzugs an den Benutzer angeordnet. Selbstverständlich sind auch andere Formgebungen und Bauarten für Stockwerkterminals denkbar. Wie aus Figur 2 hervorgeht, werden im Laufe der Modernisierung die auf den Stockwerken neben dem Schacht befindlichen Eingabeeinrichtungen deinstallliert (siehe Fig. 1: Eingabeeinrichtung 7). Denkbar wäre aber auch die installierte Eingabeeinrichtung (7; Fig. 1) stehen zu lassen und lediglich durch Anpassen des Steuersystems die entsprechenden Tasten der erwähnten Eingabeeinrichtung zu deaktivieren. Alternative Stockwerkterminals könnten an Gebäudeinnenwänden befestigte Touchscreen umfassen. Zum Beispiel könnte je Stockwerk ein flächiges Stockwerkerminal die einfache Kabinenruf-Eingabeeinrichtung ersetzen bzw. an dessen Stelle an der Wand angeordnet werden.Over time, the requests made to an elevator installation may change. Based on the existing elevator system FIG. 1 the elevator installation can be modified by the modernization method according to the invention such that the elevator installation can then be operated efficiently and in a timely manner. In the modernization floor terminals 8 are installed on the floors of the building, which are connected via data lines 18 to the control device 6 ( Fig. 2 ). The floor terminals 8 can as in the embodiment according to FIG. 2 emerges, as columnar, over the floor of the floor level F projecting column body be designed. The floor terminal 8 has, for example, an inclined surface on which input keys 9 are arranged for each floor. On a horizontal surface, display means 14 for assigning the elevator to the user are arranged. Of course, other shapes and designs for floor terminals are conceivable. How out FIG. 2 In the course of modernization, the input devices located on the floors next to the shaft will be uninstalled (see Fig. 1 : Input device 7). It would also be conceivable, however, that the installed input device (7; Fig. 1 ) and to disable only by adjusting the control system, the corresponding keys of the mentioned input device. Alternative floor terminals could include touch screen mounted on building interior walls. For example, for each floor, a flat floor terminal could replace the simple car call input device or be placed in its place on the wall.

Bei der Modernisierung stellt ein Techniker über die Schnittstelle 16 eine Verbindung zum Steuerungssystem her und speist dabei ein neues Computerprogrammprodukt oder ein Update für das bestehende Computerprogramm-Produkt in das System ein, womit nach der Modernisierung die Aufzugsanlage in der vorgängig beschriebenen Art und Weise betrieben werden kann. Das Computerprogramm-Produkt oder dessen Update wird in einer elektronischen Datenverarbeitungseinheit gespeichert. Diese Datenverarbeitungseinheit kann Bestandteil der Steuereinrichtung 6 sein. Denkbar wäre jedoch auch die Datenverarbeitungseinheit der kabinenseitigen Eingabeeinrichtung 4 zuzuordnen.In the modernization, a technician establishes a connection to the control system via the interface 16 and feeds a new computer program product or an update for the existing computer program product into the system, whereby after the modernization the elevator installation in the previously described type and Way can be operated. The computer program product or its update is stored in an electronic data processing unit. This data processing unit can be part of the control device 6. However, it would also be conceivable to associate the data processing unit with the cabin-side input device 4.

Ein Techniker kann nun mit einem Laptop 17 oder einem anderen Gerät auf einfache Art und Weise den Upgrade der Aufzugsanlage durchführen und die Steuerung rekonfigurieren. Ein entsprechendes Datenpaket für den Update bzw. die Rekonfiguration der Steuerung kann auf einem Speicherelement (z.B. eine Speicherkarte) hinterlegt werden. Weiter wäre es auch denkbar, mittels tragbarem drahtlosen Transmitter oder über eine Nahfeld-Funkverbindung zur Verhinderung von missbräuchlichen Eingriffen auf das Steuersystem auszulegen. Die Ankopplung kann über Datenkabel oder auch drahtlos erfolgen. Die Schnittstelle könnte sodann auch derart ausgestaltet sein, dass ein Techniker von der Ferne auf bzw. in das Steuersystem zu- und eingreifen kann, indem er zum Beispiel einen sog. "Remote" über Ethernet ausführt. Auf diese Weise lässt sich die Modernisierung sehr rasch vollziehen. Durch die Weiterverwendung des bestehenden Touchscreens der Eingabeeinrichtung 4 ist gewährleistet, dass - mit Ausnahme der zu installierenden Stockwerkterminals - keine hohen Investitionen in die Aufzugsanlage nötig sind.A technician can now easily upgrade the elevator system and reconfigure the controller with a laptop 17 or other device. A corresponding data packet for the update or the reconfiguration of the controller can be stored on a memory element (for example a memory card). Furthermore, it would also be conceivable to design it by means of a portable wireless transmitter or via a near-field radio link to prevent abusive interventions on the control system. The connection can be made via data cable or wireless. The interface could then also be designed such that a technician can access and intervene remotely on or into the control system, for example by executing a so-called "remote" via Ethernet. In this way, the modernization can be carried out very quickly. By the further use of the existing touch screen of the input device 4 ensures that - with the exception of the floor terminals to be installed - no high investment in the elevator system are needed.

Nach erfolgter Modernisierung ist die Betriebsweise der Aufzugsanlage 1 im Standardmodus wie folgt: Nachdem der Benutzer das von ihm gewünschte Ziel-Stockwerk auf dem Stockwerkterminal 8 unter Verwendung der Tasten 9 gewählt hat, wird ihm von der Anzeige 14 ein Aufzug zugewiesen (Fig. 2). In der Kabine 3 des ihm zugewiesenen Aufzugs 2 zeigt die Touchscreen-Oberfläche der Eingabeeinrichtung 4 das von ihm zuvor gewählte Stockwerk an. Dies kann beispielsweise durch Aufleuchten der mit einer Zahl für ein Stockwerk versehenen Eingabetaste erfolgen. Eine derart aufleuchtende Eingabetaste ist in Figur 2 mit 5' angedeutet. Unterhalb der Touchscreen-Oberfläche der Eingabeeinrichtung 4 befindet sich ein Kartenleser 12. Der Kartenleser könnte selbstverständlich auch in der Eingabeeinrichtung 4 integriert sein. Selbstverständlich sind auch andere Positionierungen für den Kartenleser vorstellbar. So könnte der Kartenleser beispielsweise einen Sensor oder Empfänger aufweisen, der hinter derselben Glasscheibe für die Touchscreen-Oberfläche der Eingabeeinrichtung 4 angeordnet sein. Die Stockwerkterminals müssen nicht zwingend Touchscreen-Oberflächen umfassen; in Frage kommen beispielsweise auch taktile Drucktasten oder andere Eingabevarianten. Die Stockwerkmahl kann zusätzlich oder alternativ zur Eingabe über die Tasten 9 auch über eine Identifizierung des Benutzers erfolgen. Hierzu kann das Stockwerkterminal 8 einen Kartenleser 15 oder eine andere Identifkationseinheit umfassen. Nach der Identifikation eines autorisierten Benutzers beispielsweise mittels seiner ID-Karte erkennt das Steuersystem, in welches Ziel-Stockwerk der Benutzer fahren möchte.After the modernization, the mode of operation of the elevator installation 1 in the standard mode is as follows: After the user has selected his desired floor on the floor terminal 8 using the keys 9, he is assigned an elevator by the display 14 (FIG. Fig. 2 ). In the car 3 of the elevator 2 assigned to it, the touchscreen surface of the input device 4 displays the floor previously selected by it. This can be done, for example, by lighting up the one-number entry key. Such a lit enter key is in FIG. 2 with 5 'indicated. Below the touchscreen surface of the input device 4 is a card reader 12. The card reader could of course also be integrated in the input device 4. Of course, other positions for the card reader are conceivable. For example, the card reader could have a sensor or receiver which is arranged behind the same glass pane for the touchscreen surface of the input device 4. The floor terminals do not necessarily have to include touchscreen surfaces; For example, tactile pushbuttons or other input variants are also possible. The floor meal In addition or as an alternative to input via the keys 9, it is also possible to carry out an identification of the user. For this purpose, the floor terminal 8 may comprise a card reader 15 or another identification unit. After identification of an authorized user, for example by means of his ID card, the control system recognizes in which destination floor the user wishes to travel.

Der der Stockwerkmahl zugeordnete Bereich der Touchscreen-Oberfläche der Eingabeeinrichtung mit den Eingabetasten 5 dient nach der Modernisierung nur noch Informationszwecken. Ausgelöst durch die Stockwerkmahl am Stockwerkterminal 8 erhält die Eingabeeinrichtung 4 von der Steuereinrichtung ein Aktivierungssignal. Danach werden die dem gewählten Stockwerk zugeordneten Anzeigemittel zum Darstellen des Stockwerks aktiviert. Derart aktivierte Anzeigemittel können Aufleuchten aufweist. Sofern die übrigen Anzeigemittel wenigstens in der Betriebsphase dauerhaft aufleuchten, kann es vorteilhaft sein, wenn das aktivierte Anzeigemittel heller und/oder in einer anderen Farbe leuchtet. Die Anzeigemittel können als von den Eingabetasten separate Bauelemente ausgestaltet sein. Bevorzugt sind die Anzeigemittel als integrierender Bestandteil der Eingabetasten ausgestaltet. Eine ein Stockwerk auf diese Weise durch Aufleuchten anzeigende Taste ist in Figur 2 beispielhaft mit 5' bezeichneten Eingabetaste angedeutet. Auch nach der Modernisierung sollten gewöhnlich bestimmte Eingabetasten aktivierbar bleiben. Die Spezialzwecke wie Alarmierung, Notöffnung oder dergleichen dienenden Tasten sind in den Figuren 1 und 2 mit 11 bezeichnet.The area of the touchscreen surface of the input device with the input keys 5 assigned to the floor meal is used after the modernization only for information purposes. Triggered by the floor meal on the floor terminal 8, the input device 4 receives an activation signal from the control device. Thereafter, the display means associated with the selected floor are activated to display the floor. Such activated display means may have light up. If the remaining display means permanently light up, at least in the operating phase, it may be advantageous if the activated display means lights up brighter and / or in a different color. The display means may be configured as separate from the input keys components. Preferably, the display means are designed as an integral part of the input keys. A button displaying a flashing light in this way is in FIG. 2 indicated by 5 'designated input key. Even after the modernization, certain input keys should usually remain activatable. The special purposes such as alerting, emergency opening or the like serving keys are in the Figures 1 and 2 denoted by 11.

Das modernisierte Steuersystem lässt aber für bestimmte Fälle auch Abweichungen vom Standardmodus zu: So kann optional das Steuersystem derart angepasst werden, dass nach Lesen einer autorisierten Karte und oder bei Tastendruck oder -berührung auf eine Behinderten-Taste 11 die deaktivierten Eingabetasten 5 zur erneuten Eingabe für eine Aktivierung freigegeben werden.However, the modernized control system also allows for deviations from the standard mode for certain cases: Thus, the control system can be adjusted such that after reading an authorized card and or pressing a button or touch a disabled button 11, the disabled input buttons 5 for re-entry for an activation will be released.

Je nach nachdem, wie die Hardware für die ursprünglichen Steuereinrichtung ausgestaltet wurde, kann es notwendig sein, bei der Modernisierung zum Ermöglichen der neuen Funktionalität steuertechnische Anpassungen am Steuersystem vorzunehmen. In derartigen Fällen wird - wie aus Figur 3 hervorgeht - eine zusätzliche Steuereinrichtung 19 oder ein weiteres Steuermodul in das Steuersystem integriert. Bis auf die neu hinzugekommene Steuereinrichtung 19 entspricht die Aufzugsanlage 1 der Anlage aus Figur 2. In Figur 3 ist die Steuereinrichtung 19 beispielhaft als separate Baugruppe ausgerührt, die mit der ersten Steuereinrichtung 6 in Wirkverbindung steht. Die Steuereinrichtung 19 kann schon vorkonfiguriert sein, wodurch die Aufzugsanlage schnell wieder einsatzbereit ist. Denkbar ist weiter auch, über (hier nicht dargestellte) Mittel wie etwa ein über eine entsprechende Schnittstelle angeschlossenes Laptop, über eine Nahfeld-Funkverbindung oder über einen Ethernet-Remote die Steuerung zu konfigurieren oder allenfalls auch ein Update oder eine Rekonfiguration der Steuerungs-Software vorzunehmen.Depending on how the hardware was designed for the original controller, it may be necessary to make control engineering adjustments to the control system during the upgrade to enable the new functionality. In such cases - as out FIG. 3 shows an additional control device 19 or another control module integrated into the control system. Except for the newly added control device 19 corresponds to the elevator system 1 of the plant FIG. 2 , In figure 3 the control device 19 is exemplified as a separate module, which is in operative connection with the first control device 6. The control device 19 can already be preconfigured, as a result of which the elevator installation is quickly ready for use again. It is also conceivable, via means (not shown here) such as a connected via a corresponding interface laptop, via a near-field radio connection or via an Ethernet remote to configure the controller or possibly make an update or reconfiguration of the control software ,
