The inspection operation determination device 7 compares the data with preset condition values and determines the data of the comparison results and abnormal values. This result is output to the output device 8.

The operation of the embodiment of the present invention having the above-described configuration will be explained.

First, the inspection operation input device 2 is used to input the identification code of the site where the inspection operation is to be performed, the contents of the inspection command, etc. The contents of the inspection operation command are transmitted to the inspection operation command device 3 by the inspection instruction request 2a. Inspection operation command device 3
sets the flag corresponding to the inspection content to 1. This data is temporarily stored in the storage device 5. The storage device 5 stores necessary data flags and site identification codes, and stands by in preparation for when inspection data is transmitted. When the storage device 5 completes this preparation, it sends a signal to the transmission device 9 and transmits the contents of the command to the terminal device 10. The receiving device 11 on the terminal device 10 side receives the contents of the inspection command and temporarily stores it in the storage device 16. After setting the necessary data flag and the field identification code, the storage device 16 transmits them to the inspection operation command device 12. The inspection operation command device 12 starts up the operation control device. Furthermore, the measurement data counter 14a and the operation data counter 14b are activated as necessary based on the contents of the requested inspection data. The operation control device 13 grasps the operating state of the elevator via the communication line 18 before issuing an inspection operation command to the elevator 19. In other words, confirm that the elevator is in normal operating condition. After this confirmation, the operation control device 13 instructs the elevator to perform inspection operation via the communication line 18. If the elevator is not in a normal operating state, data is sent to the storage device 16 to the effect that inspection operation is not possible. If inspection operation is possible, the elevator will operate as instructed. Data during this inspection operation is counted via the communication line 18 by the measurement data counter 14a and the operation data counter 14b. For example, if the door is open or closed, the door opening time and door closing time are counted. If there is a landing error, the time from the stop command to the stop is counted. The operating status counts the speed of the elevator and the occurrence of calls. These data are sequentially transmitted to the storage device 16, and the storage device 16 transmits an inspection operation termination command to the inspection operation command device 12 when the necessary data is obtained. The inspection operation command device 12 that received the termination command transmits an inspection operation termination instruction to the operation control device 13. The operation control device 13 closes the communication line 18. Upon completion of the inspection operation, the storage device 16 transmits to the data editing device 17 data necessary for the content of the request from the center side. Data editing device 1
In step 7, the measurement data and operation data are edited into a predetermined transmission format. The edited data is sent to the transmission device 15 and sent to the monitoring center 1 via the general line 21. The transmitted data is received by the receiving device 4 and stored in the storage device 5.
is stored in The storage device 5 transmits the data to the data analysis device 6 to analyze the data. For example, the level error is calculated from the time data from the stop command to the stop. Data analysis device 6
The data analyzed is sent to the inspection operation determination device 7,
It is compared with a preset reference value. As a standard for comparison, an upper limit permissible value is determined. The result of this comparison is output to the output device 8.
