Description

  The present invention relates to an elevator control device that can output display contents and voice guidance corresponding to various display patterns and voice guidance patterns flexibly.

  Conventionally, an elevator system has been proposed in which an external terminal is connected to an appropriate part of an elevator, and adjustment and maintenance of an operation pattern necessary for the operation operation of the elevator is performed from the external terminal.

  In this elevator system, a destination floor button, a display unit such as a liquid crystal display, and a switch box are provided on an operation panel in the elevator car, and a controller connection connector and a display mode switching switch are mounted in the switch box. .

  When inspecting the elevator, an operator carries an external terminal, opens the switch box on the operation panel in the elevator car to be inspected, and connects the external terminal to the controller connection connector. When an external terminal is connected to the controller connection connector, the display mode changeover switch enters the inspection mode, and inspection data is read from the control device and displayed on the display unit.

  Here, the worker performs the inspection work while changing the inspection data using the external terminal while viewing the inspection data displayed on the display unit. In other words, the worker does the inspection work in the car without going to the installation position of the control device (Patent Document 1).

  However, such an elevator system is a change in control data relating to a predetermined elevator operation, and an unexpected item is added according to each customer's request, or the control data is changed to different item data. It cannot be changed to replace.

Furthermore, as a prior art similar to the present invention, an elevator control device as shown in FIG. 7 has been developed.
The elevator control device includes a main control device 100 that controls operation of an elevator (hereinafter referred to as a target property), and a command (for example, installed in a passenger car or on each floor, sent from the main control device 100) And a display device 110 that outputs predetermined display contents and voice guidance based on the command code).

  The main control device 100 is provided with an operation control processing unit 101 composed of a CPU, an article-specific data storage memory 102, a transmission control unit 103 composed of a CPU, and a maintenance interface 104. A portable maintenance tool (information terminal) 105 is connected as necessary.

  The operation control processing unit 101 is equipped with operation control software, and determines the car stop floor according to the registration of the car call and the hall call and performs operation control up to the determined stop floor. In addition, the display content is determined in accordance with the driving operation of the target property, and the display content determination command is transmitted to the display device 110. The property-specific data storage memory 102 stores device specification data unique to the target property.

  By the way, the device specifications of the target property have been determined in advance before the elevator shipment, and the device specifications related to the operation unique to the target property are rarely changed after the operation is started.

  However, in recent years, with the expansion of the microcomputer of the operation control processing unit 101, functions that can be changed in standard operation control software are often changed even after the operation is started.

  Therefore, for the purpose of avoiding software changes as much as possible, device specifications that are frequently used to some extent are incorporated into the software, and the above-mentioned property-specific data storage memory 102 stores device specification data specific to the target property, for example, individual items. Data such as the presence / absence of operation control is stored, and the above-described software standardization is realized by determining operation control while referring to device specification data specific to the target property. That is, when executing the software, the data stored in the property-specific data storage memory 102 is referred to realize the operation specific to the target property.

  The maintenance tool 105 connects to the maintenance interface 104 when necessary, and refers to the device specification data specific to the target property in the property-specific data storage memory 102 through the maintenance interface 104 and the operation control processing unit 101 under the operation of the coordinator. In addition, the rewrite of the device specification data that can be changed is performed.

  The maintenance interface 104 has a function of converting data exchanged between the operation control processing unit 101 and the maintenance tool 105 into a required data format and transferring the data.

  The display device 110 includes a transmission control unit 111 configured by a CPU, a display unit 112, a display / speech guidance pattern storage memory 113 for storing a display pattern and a voice guidance pattern of a target property, and a voice synthesis circuit 114. And a sound generator 115 such as a speaker. Note that the voice synthesis circuit 114 and the voice generation device 115 show the configuration of the display device in the car, and are not provided in the display devices installed in the floor landings. The reason is that each floor platform only displays the current position and moving direction of the target property.

Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, the display device 110 in the car will be described as an example.
The transmission control unit 111 receives a command code sent from the operation control processing unit 101 via the transmission control unit 103, and extracts a display pattern or a voice guidance pattern corresponding to the command code from the display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 113. The data is sent to the display unit 112 and the voice synthesis circuit 114.

  As the property display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 113, a non-volatile memory that does not erase data is used. Specifically, an electrically erasable EPROM and E2PROM, a flash ROM capable of electrically erasing a predetermined area in units of blocks, and the like are used.

  In addition, as a data size, it can respond sufficiently if the floor of 256 floors is considered from the conventional delivery results. As for display content patterns, standard elevators installed in general condominiums and the like can handle various types of display content patterns by using LED elements of 8 × 16 dots = 128 dots. . If one display content pattern is realized by 16B (byte) data, a data size of 4KB is required for the display content pattern on the 256th floor. On the other hand, the voice guidance pattern has a data size that can be sufficiently dealt with in about 512 KB in consideration of standard announcement data. Therefore, when the display content pattern and the voice guidance pattern are combined, if a memory for storing a data size of at least about 512 KB is prepared, a wide variety of patterns can be sufficiently handled.

  The voice synthesis circuit 114 converts the digital voice guidance pattern data output from the transmission control unit 111 into an analog signal, and outputs voice guidance from the voice generator 115.

Next, the display content / voice guidance output operation in the above elevator control apparatus will be described.
The operation control processing unit 101 in the main controller 100 refers to the property-specific data storage memory 102 in accordance with the operation control of the target property according to the software, determines the display content and the like as necessary, and displays the display content pattern or voice guidance. An instruction code corresponding to the pattern is generated and transferred to the transmission control unit 103. The instruction code is defined with a data size of about 1 byte in accordance with a state in which display contents assumed in advance and a state in which voice guidance is output in the property-specific data storage memory 102.

  The transmission control unit 103 converts the instruction code corresponding to the display content pattern or the voice guidance pattern received from the operation control processing unit 101 into the serial communication method, and transfers the command code to the transmission control unit 111 of the display device 110.

  Here, when receiving the command code from the transmission control unit 103, the transmission control unit 111 reads the display content pattern or the voice guidance pattern corresponding to the command code from the display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 113, and displays the display unit 112 or the voice synthesis. Send to circuit 114.

  For example, when the transmission control unit 111 receives a command code “02” sent at the timing of arrival at the second floor, for example, the transmission control unit 111 reads the second floor corresponding to the command code “02” from the display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 113. The display content pattern data “2” for display and the voice guidance pattern data for pronouncing “It is the second floor” are read out.

Note that the instruction codes are defined including instruction codes corresponding to display content patterns and voice guidance patterns that are frequently used to some extent. For example, some inexpensive standard elevators do not output instruction codes. As a result, the operation control processing unit 101 always refers to the data in the property specific data storage memory 102 before outputting the instruction code, determines whether to output the instruction code, and only outputs the instruction code when necessary. Output.

However, the following problems have been pointed out in the latter elevator control system.
Usually, the display content pattern and the voice guidance pattern have a variety of customer requests and have the character of becoming an elevator face. As a result, depending on whether or not the customer's request is sufficiently satisfied, it becomes an important factor in determining the order of products.

  Originally, it is ideal to meet the needs of all customers, and when a completely new display content pattern and voice guidance pattern are requested, the display content pattern and voice guidance pattern must be changed according to the request. There are many.

  Specifically, according to the above-described example, when the target property arrives on the second floor, for example, the operation control processing unit 101 outputs the instruction code “02”, so that the transmission control unit 111 causes the instruction code “ “2” is displayed on the display unit 112 according to “02”, and “2nd floor” is voice-guided from the voice generator 115, but different requests are issued even with the same command code “02” There are many.

  For example, an elevator is installed in a train station building, but a ticket gate may be provided on the second floor of the station building. When a ticket gate is provided on the second floor of the station building, when the operation control processing unit 101 outputs the instruction code “02”, the display device 110 displays “ticket gate” on the display unit 112 and a sound generator. From 115, it may be required to provide voice guidance “It is a ticket gate floor”. This means that when the transmission control unit 111 on the display device 110 side receives the instruction code “02”, “2” representing the second floor, which is the display content pattern of the corresponding data in the property display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 113. "Change to" Ticket "from" ", and on the other hand, it is necessary to change the voice guidance pattern from" Second floor "to" Ticket floor "and deliver it to the customer.

  Many examples of such requests occur due to changes in the structure of the building, etc., and accordingly, the data in the display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 113 for the property is diversified, and the data management in the elevator manufacturing company is very complicated. It becomes.

  Further, in the latter elevator control device, due to the complexity of data management, for example, when the elevator after delivery fails due to a natural disaster such as typhoon, lightning strike, earthquake, etc., the display device 110 must be replaced. There is. However, when a variety of display devices 110 are manufactured and shipped when the display device 110 is replaced, the data contents of the display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 113 for property are accurately confirmed over time, and the data It is necessary to write in accordance with the contents, and it is necessary to perform an operation simulation and replace it as necessary.

  As a result, the data content of the display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 113 for the property is confirmed, and the same data as the display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 113 of the display device 110 of the failed display device 110 is written. It takes a lot of time and labor to replace the failed display device 110 with different pattern data written in the display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 113 for property due to a confirmation error. There is a risk that display contents and voice guidance that do not match will be output.

  Furthermore, in the latter elevator control device, when a request for special display content or special voice guidance is received from a customer during or after delivery of the product, the display device 110 is temporarily removed from the elevator system, and data corresponding to the request is received. It is necessary to replace the data with the display device 110 equipped with or to review the entire data in the display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 113 for property and change the data to meet the demand. Therefore, there is a problem that the burden of labor by the elevator adjuster becomes large.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and can easily add and change pattern data from the outside, and by rearranging the pattern data in the display for display and voice guidance pattern storage for the property, It is an object of the present invention to provide an elevator control device that prevents a variety of display devices from being shipped and provides interchangeability in a short time by providing compatibility.

(1) In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides property-specific data for storing version data relating to a display / audio pattern including property-specific device specification data of a target property, and a plurality of transfer source and transfer destination address data. Sequentially transmit display / audio pattern output command and transfer source and transfer destination address data at a predetermined timing with the storage memory, and refer to the device specification data of the property specific data storage memory during actual operation of the target property The main control device having a driving control processing unit that performs driving control of the target property while transmitting an output command of display / voice guidance necessary for the driving control,
A display / voice guidance pattern storage memory for storing display content patterns and voice guidance pattern data including version data that can be added / changed from the outside, installed in at least one of the floors of the target property and each floor platform; Property display / voice guidance pattern storage memory for storing display content patterns and voice guidance patterns required for actual driving control, and displays sequentially transmitted from the main controller at the predetermined timing -Based on the voice pattern output command and the transfer source and destination address data, the display content pattern and the voice guidance pattern data stored in the display / voice guidance pattern storage memory are sequentially read out, and the optimized arrangement changing process is performed. Stored in the display / voice guidance pattern storage memory for the property, and sent from the main controller. Based on the display / voice guidance output command required in accordance with the actual operation control coming, the display content pattern and voice guidance pattern data are read from the display / voice guidance pattern storage memory for the property that has been changed in the optimized arrangement. And a display device having a transmission control unit for displaying and outputting sound.

  In addition, the present invention provides an external terminal that can newly add and modify pattern data including version data stored in the display / voice guidance pattern storage memory as the display device, in addition to the configuration of the elevator control device. A pattern data including version data for addition and correction is fetched from an external operation terminal that has an interface and is detachably connected to the external terminal interface, and pattern data including version data of the display / voice guidance pattern storage memory is added. And a configuration to be corrected.

  In addition to the configuration of the elevator control device described above, as the operation control processing unit of the main control device, version data stored in the property-specific data storage memory at the predetermined timing and display / display on the display device side It is determined that there is no corresponding data in the display / voice guidance pattern storage memory when there is a mismatch when compared with the version data stored in the voice guidance pattern storage memory, and the display device or target property monitoring room indicates a mismatch condition. It is good also as a structure which transmits.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to easily add / change pattern data for display / voice guidance from the outside, and rearrange the pattern data in the display / voice guidance pattern storage memory for properties. It is possible to provide an elevator control device that can prevent the shipment of various display devices and can exchange the display devices in a short time by providing compatibility.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a first embodiment of an elevator control apparatus according to the present invention.
The elevator control device includes a main control device 1 that controls operation of a target property (elevator number), a display device 2 that is installed in an elevator car or on each floor, and an external operation terminal 3.

  The main control device 1 is provided with an operation control processing unit 11 constituted by a CPU, an article-specific data storage memory 12, a transmission control unit 13 constituted by a CPU, and a maintenance interface. A portable maintenance tool (information terminal) 15 is connected to the maintenance interface 14 as necessary, and the equipment-specific device specifications stored in the property-specific data storage memory 12 from the outside through the maintenance interface 14 and the operation control processing unit 11. It is possible to refer to the data and add / change the necessary device specification data.

  The operation control processing unit 11 is equipped with standard software for operation control that can cope with equipment specifications with a certain high frequency of specification, and based on registration of car calls and hall calls, the car stop floor is based on the standard software. And performs calculation related to operation control of the target property to the determined stop floor. The driving control processing unit 11 has a function of generating and outputting a command code corresponding to a predetermined display content pattern or voice guidance pattern in accordance with the driving operation of the target property. Note that the operation control processing unit 11 uses, for example, a CPU that performs a 16-bit to 32-bit operation in order to realize the above functions.

  The property-specific data storage memory 12 stores device specification data unique to the target property, such as whether or not individual operation control is performed. Therefore, when performing operation control, the operation control processing unit 11 refers to the property-specific device specification data stored in the property-specific data storage memory 12 and performs operation control while determining whether or not to perform individual control. The standardization of the software mentioned above is planned.

  Furthermore, the property-specific data storage memory 12 has a data array configuration as shown in FIG. 2 as a specific example. That is, in the property-specific data storage memory 12, in addition to the device specification data unique to the target property, version data regarding the display content pattern and the voice guidance pattern, and the first data of the display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 26 serving as the data transfer source are stored. Address (1), first data storage address (1) for the display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 22 for the property as the data transfer destination,..., Nth data in the display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 26 for the data transfer source The data storage address (n) and the nth data storage address (n) of the property display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 22 that is the data transfer destination are stored.

  The property-specific data storage memory 12 is an electrically erasable non-volatile memory. As a typical memory element, for example, E2PROM is used. The property-specific data storage memory 12 must be replaced when the main controller 1 has a life or abnormality, and a large amount of data is stored. become. For that purpose, it is desirable that the property-specific data storage memory 12 is detachably connected to the main controller 1.

  The transmission control unit 13 has a function of performing data communication with the display device 2. The transmission control unit 13 has the function of converting to the serial communication system in order to reduce the number of transmission lines installed, for example, 8 bits or 16 because the display device 2 is installed in the car or at each floor landing. A CPU that performs bit operations is used.

  The maintenance interface 14 has a function of converting data exchanged between the operation control processing unit 11 and the maintenance tool 15 into a predetermined data format and transferring the data.

  A maintenance tool 15 is detachably connected to the maintenance interface 14 as necessary. The maintenance tool 15 is a portable information terminal that can be carried. The maintenance tool 15 is connected to the maintenance interface 14 and, under the operation of the coordinator, retrieves the device specification data specific to the target property from the property-specific data storage memory 12 through the maintenance interface 14 and the operation control processing unit 11 for reference. In addition, it has a function of adding / changing version data including device specification data.

  The display device 2 includes a transmission control unit 21 configured by a CPU, a display / speech guidance pattern storage memory 22 for storing various display content patterns and voice guidance patterns, a display unit 23, and a voice synthesis circuit. 24 and a sound generator 25 such as a speaker are provided.

  The transmission control unit 21 communicates with the main control device 1 and uses, for example, a CPU that performs 8-bit or 16-bit arithmetic. The transmission control unit 21 reads the display content pattern and the voice guidance pattern corresponding to the command code from the property display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 22 based on the command code transmitted from the main controller 1, and displays the display content pattern data. Is sent to the display unit 23, and digital data which is voice guidance pattern data is sent to the voice synthesis circuit 24. The display unit 23 displays the display content corresponding to the display content pattern output from the transmission control unit 21.

  Unlike the conventional apparatus, the property display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 22 uses a volatile memory. The elevator control apparatus according to the present invention provides a property display / voice guidance pattern storage memory according to version data including device specification data specific to a target property in the property specific data storage memory 12 described above in an initialization process immediately after power-on. This is because the rearrangement processing of the data stored in 22, that is, the data optimization arrangement processing is performed.

  For example, an SRAM of 512 KB or more is used for the property display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 22. Note that the data size of the property display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 22 needs to be at least 512 KB from the grounds of the data size of the number of display content patterns and the voice guidance pattern as described in the conventional example.

  The voice synthesis circuit 24 has a function of converting digital data, which is voice guidance pattern data, into analog data and outputting the voice from the voice generator 25.

  As the display device 2, a display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 26 and an external terminal interface 27 are newly provided. The external operation terminal 3 is detachably connected to the external terminal interface 27. The display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 26 stores display content patterns and voice guidance patterns including additions and changes input from the external operation terminal 3.

  As the display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 26, a non-volatile memory such as a non-volatile flash ROM of 1024 KB or more that can electrically erase a certain area in units of blocks is used. An included magnetic memory MRAM, dielectric memory FCRAM, or the like may be used. The magnetic memory MRAM and the dielectric memory FCRAM are excellent in that they have the same characteristics as the flash ROM, can be rewritten and erased in bit units, and can easily process data.

  The external operation terminal 3 is a portable communication terminal, and a laptop computer or a mobile phone is used as a typical terminal.

  The external terminal interface 27 writes the data such as the display content pattern and the voice guidance pattern stored in the display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 26 by transferring the data such as the display content pattern and the voice guidance pattern transferred from the external operation terminal 3. Can be added or changed. Note that the external terminal interface 27 is for USB (Universal Serial Bus), IrDA (Infrared Date Association) for infrared communication, or a portable terminal for receiving high-speed serial communication transferred from the external operation terminal 3, for example. An interface standard such as Bluetooth (registered trademark) is used.

  Next, based on the data stored in the display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 26 which is the main part of the elevator control device according to the present invention, the data in the display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 22 for properties is optimized (arranged). The data transfer processing operation for processing will be described with reference to FIG.

(1) Immediately after the power is turned on, the operation control processing unit 11 displays version data regarding the display content pattern and the voice guidance pattern in the display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 26 and the top address of the display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 26 on the display device 2 side. The version data stored in is compared with each other to find the discrepancy between the two version data.

  FIG. 3A is a schematic diagram for explaining a command procedure from the transmission control unit 13 to the transmission control unit 21.

  First, the operation control processing unit 11 sends the command data t1, that is, the read command data of the version data t2 to the transmission control unit 13 as shown in FIG. The transmission control unit 13 transmits the command data t1 received from the operation control processing unit 11 to the display device 2 side.

  When receiving the command data t1, the transmission control unit 21 of the display device 2 reads the version data t2 stored at the head address of the display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 26 based on the command data t1, and the main control device 1 side Send to.

  The transmission control unit 13 of the main control device 1 receives the version data t2 and sends it to the operation control processing unit 11. Therefore, the operation control processing unit 11 can easily check the version data t2. That is, the operation control processing unit 11 refers to the version data of the display / voice guidance pattern in the property-specific data storage memory 12 and compares it with the version data t2 transmitted from the display device 21. Here, for example, when the number of version data in the property-specific data storage memory 12 is larger than the number of version data stored in the display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 26, the operation control processing unit 11 is in a state where the two version data do not match. Make sure that That is, it is determined that the conditions do not match. The same can be confirmed when the version data number of the property-specific data storage memory 12 and the version number of the display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 26 are reversed.

  When it is determined that the conditions do not match, the operation control processing unit 11 transmits data indicating that the version data on the display device 2 side does not correspond to the transmission control unit 21 through the transmission control unit 13. Here, for example, the transmission control unit 21 blinks and displays “XXX” or the like on the display unit 23 and gives voice guidance such as “the version of the display device 2 is not compatible” from the voice generation device 25. Inform.

  When it is determined that the conditions do not match, the operation control processing unit 11 may notify the display device 2 of data indicating that the version does not correspond to the elevator monitoring room or the like.

  Note that when it is determined that the conditions do not match, the flashing display such as “XXX” on the display unit 22 and the sound output control such as “the version of the display device 20 is not supported” on the sound generation device 25 are performed. For example, the following procedures (2) and (3) are performed.

(2) A description will be given of a display content output command on the display unit 23 when it is determined that the conditions do not match. FIG. 3B is a schematic diagram illustrating a command procedure from the transmission control unit 13 to the transmission control unit 21.

  That is, when it is determined that the condition is not met, the operation control processing 11 is first the instruction data t3, that is, the display content command data, and then “xxx” in the display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 26 that is regarded as the condition mismatch. The storage address t4 of the display content pattern is sequentially output and transmitted to the transmission control unit 21 on the display device 2 side via the transmission control unit 13.

  When the transmission control unit 21 receives the instruction data t3 and the storage address t4 of the display content pattern “xxx” from the transmission control unit 13, the transmission control unit 21 stores “xxx” of the designated address of the display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 26. The display contents “xxx” can be easily displayed from the display unit 23 by reading the display pattern and outputting it to the display unit 23.

(3) The voice guidance output command of the voice generator 25 when it is determined that the conditions do not match will be described. FIG. 3C is a schematic diagram for explaining a command procedure from the transmission control unit 13 to the transmission control unit 21.

  When it is determined that the condition is not met, the operation control process 11 corresponds to the command data t5, that is, the voice guidance command data first, and then the “display device version” of the display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 26 that is regarded as the condition mismatch. The storage address t6 of the voice content pattern “not” is output in order and transmitted to the transmission control unit 21 on the display device 2 side via the transmission control unit 13.

  When the transmission control unit 21 receives the instruction data t5 and the voice guidance pattern storage address t6 “display device version is not supported” from the transmission control unit 13, the transmission control unit 21 designates the display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 26. By reading the voice guidance pattern t6 “address of the display device is not supported” at the address and outputting it to the speech synthesizer circuit 24, the voice generator 25 can easily read “the display device version is not supported. Can be output.

  In addition, you may alert | report the data that a version does not respond | correspond to not the display apparatus 2, but an elevator monitoring room.

  By notifying as described above, the coordinator connects the external operation terminal 3 (may be the maintenance tool 15), and performs addition / change of necessary pattern data in the display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 26. The display content pattern and the voice guidance pattern can be changed so as to match the version data including the specific device specifications of the target property in the property specific data storage memory 12.

(4) When the version confirmation operation and the change process are completed, a data optimized array change process from the display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 26 to the property display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 22 is performed. FIG. 3D is a schematic diagram illustrating a command procedure from the transmission control unit 13 to the transmission control unit 21.

  The operation control processing unit 11 first sends command data t7 from the property-specific data storage memory 12, that is, transfer command data of the display content pattern and voice guidance pattern, and then the designated address (transfer source address) of the display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 26. ) At t8, data is read in the order of the designated address (transfer destination address) t9 of the property display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 22 and transmitted to the display device 2 via the transmission control unit 13.

  When the transmission control unit 21 of the display device 2 sequentially receives the data transmitted from the transmission control unit 13, the transmission control unit 21 reads the display content pattern and the voice guidance pattern of the designated address in the display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 26 and reads the read-out pattern. By transferring the display content pattern and the voice guidance pattern data to the property display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 22, the pattern data arrangement changing process is easily realized.

  That is, the transmission control unit 21 reads the display content pattern and the voice guidance pattern data t10 in the display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 26 as shown in FIG. 4 based on the designated address data sent from the transmission control unit 13. Then, the data is transferred to the property display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 22 and the display content pattern and the voice guidance pattern data t11 in the property display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 22 are changed. However, FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of data arrangement of the display device 2 at the time of standard specification.

  That is, in FIG. 4, the data stored in the property display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 22 is arranged so that the display content pattern “2” representing the second floor is displayed when the target property arrives on the second floor based on the standard specification. It is an example.

  Incidentally, when notifying that the portion corresponding to the second floor of the building is on the ground and is on the ground when the target property arrives on the second floor, the data arrangement changing process in the special display specification as shown in FIG. 5 is executed. That is, the transmission control unit 21 receives the command data t7 from the operation control processing unit 11, the designated address (transfer source address) t8 of the display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 26, and the designated address of the display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 22 for properties. Based on the data of (transfer destination address) t9, the display content pattern “ground” representing the ground is read from the designated address (transfer source address) of the display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 26, and the display / voice guidance pattern storage memory for the property It is assumed that the memory storage data t12 is an example of a data array in which “terrestrial” display content pattern data is stored in the area of the 22nd floor display equivalent address (transfer destination address).

  Furthermore, an overall operation procedure related to the optimized arrangement processing of the elevator control device according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

  When the operation control processing unit 11 detects the completion of the additional change of the version data of the property-specific data storage memory 12 and the transfer source / transfer destination address immediately after the power is turned on (S1) or by the maintenance tool 15 (S2), the operation control unit 11 operates the target property. After the stop process is performed (S3), the transfer source and transfer destination address data (1) to (n) including the version data of the property specific data storage memory 12 are sequentially read and sent to the transmission control unit 13 (S4).

  The transmission control unit 13 sequentially transmits the address data (1) to (n) including the version data sent from the operation control processing unit 11 to the display device 2 according to FIG. 3D (S5).

  The transmission control unit 21 of the display device 2 reads the display content pattern and the voice guidance pattern data from the designated address of the display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 26 according to the address data (1) to (n) including the received version data. Then, the so-called optimized array processing is executed, which is stored in the designated address of the property display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 26 (S6).

  The transmission control unit 21 performs the optimized array processing relating to all addresses (1) to (n), and then transmits the optimized array processing completion data to the operation control processing unit 11 through the transmission control unit 11 (S7).

  When the operation control processing unit 11 receives the optimization array process completion data, the operation control processing unit 11 performs the operation stop cancellation process of the target property (S8), and executes the original operation control of the target property (S9).

  Therefore, according to the embodiment as described above, in addition to the article display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 22 for storing display content patterns and voice guidance patterns required for actual operation control in the display device 2. A display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 26 for storing display content patterns and voice guidance pattern data including version data that can be added / changed from the outside is provided, and is detachably connected from the external operation terminal 3 to display / voice guidance patterns. The pattern data and the like in the storage memory 26 can be added and changed, and can be reflected in the property display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 22 by the rearrangement process. Therefore, after delivery of the elevator control device including the target property, when there is no display content pattern or voice guidance pattern requested by the customer, the pattern data in the display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 26 is replaced without replacing the elevator control device. This can be realized simply by adding and changing the above. This is because the pattern can be easily changed in response to the change in the device specification, and data can be added to the display device 2 to be manufactured thereafter, so that the compatibility of the display device 2 can be achieved. This means that the display device 2 can be easily replaced in a short time even when replacement is necessary due to a failure or other factors.

  Even when the maintenance tool 15 is connected to the main control device 1 and the version data of the display / voice guidance pattern of the property specific data storage memory 12 is added or changed, the added or changed version data is displayed / changed. It can be easily realized that the pattern data reflected in the voice guidance pattern storage memory 26 and rearranged in the display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 26 is rearranged and reflected in the property display / voice guidance pattern storage memory 22.

  Furthermore, when it is detected that the stored data in the property-specific data storage memory 12 has been added / changed by the external maintenance tool 15 and completed immediately after the power is turned on, the above sort processing is performed. Based on the obtained pattern data, it is possible to reliably control the operation of the target property.

  In addition, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention.
