Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for checking the operability of at least one security element of a security circuit of an elevator installation, in which at least one security element a first and a second processing unit are used and the at least one security element is connected via a communication network with a control unit.
  • Conventional elevator systems have safety circuits consisting of series-connected safety elements.
  • these security elements monitor the condition of manhole or cabin doors.
  • Such a security element may be a door contact, a latch contact, a buffer contact, a flap contact, a sensor, an actuator, a drive switch, an emergency stop switch, etc.
  • An open contact shows that z. B. a door is open and a potentially inadmissible door condition has occurred. If an inadmissible open state of the doors is now identified when the contact is open, then the safety circuit is interrupted, which has the consequence that a drive or brakes, which act on the travel of an elevator car, bring the elevator car to a standstill.
  • a safety system or a safety circuit for an elevator installation is known from the document EP1638880, which has a control unit as well as at least one security element and a bus as the communication network.
  • the bus or safety bus enables communication between the at least one security element and the control unit.
  • the security element can, for. B. monitor the condition of manhole and cabin doors.
  • the at least one security element consists of a receiver and a transmitter.
  • the document EP1427662 describes a safety system with safety bus. The safety bus is used to enable safe and reliable monitoring of hoistway doors of an elevator installation.
  • the document EP1427660 describes a safety system with safety bus, which allows an evaluation of the state of cabin and landing doors. What is meant by a bus or bus system, for example, in the book bus systems, parallel and serial bus systems, local networks, by Georg Desirber, R. Oldenbourg Verlag Kunststoff Vienna 1987, ISBN 3-486-20120-4 described.
  • a safety system or a safety circuit for elevator systems with the use of a bus system must be carried out safely. Otherwise, for example, undefined states or misinterpretations can occur.
  • the query of the security elements of the security system over the security bus should be absolutely safe and reliable.
  • the requirements for safe safety elements are specified in various safety standards, such as in the European standard IEC 61508.
  • the European Standard IEC 61508 contains the minimum requirements in order to increase the safety in systems and electrical installations.
  • this standard defines four so-called safety integrity levels SIL1 to SI L4, which are regarded as measures for the operational safety of a plant or a system.
  • the safety integrity level SIL4 is the highest level of operational safety.
  • An object of the invention is to propose a simple and efficient method for checking the functionality of safety elements of a safety circuit of an elevator installation.
  • a core of the invention is that for checking the functionality of a security element of a security circuit of a lift installation, a first processing unit of the security element at least one signal from a control unit provides at least one signal that a second processing unit detects the provided at least one signal and transmits it to the control unit and that the transmitted at least one signal in terms of its validity is checked by the control unit.
  • the first and the second processing unit are connected to each other.
  • the at least one security element is connected to the control unit via a communications network.

  • the first and the second processing unit of the at least one security element are directly connected to each other.
  • a direct connection means that the first processing unit is connected via an output of the first processing unit to an input of the second processing unit and / or vice versa.
  • first and second processing unit z. B. microprocessors used.
  • the first and the second processing unit can have different instruction sets. This means that the two processing units u. a. different functionalities, different tasks etc. So could z. B.
  • the processing unit may be initiated only by the second processing unit.
  • only the first processing unit can provide at least one signal, for example in that the first processing unit generates or generates this signal.
  • the second processing unit may have a different priority from the first processing unit and vice versa for communication with the control unit.
  • the priority determines a ranking for communication with the control unit. This means, for example, that in a simultaneous communication attempt of the first and the second processing unit, the control unit communicates with that processing unit having the higher priority.
  • the at least one provided signal can be arbitrary. It can be either digital or analog. In this case, as a signal, for example, a bit sequence, a signal with a particular or defined frequency, a sound sequence, a pattern, a message, etc. are used.

  • Time etc. are used for verification. Frequency defines or specifies how often and at which intervals a check should take place.
  • rule could be that after maintenance, after a failure, etc. the
  • An advantage of the invention is that it can be determined in a simple manner whether the safety chain of the elevator installation or the at least one safety element of the safety circuit is functional.
  • a further advantage of the invention is that the method according to the invention and the device according to the invention satisfy the operational safety requirement specified in the European Standard IEC 61508 at least in accordance with SIL 3.
