(Switch for setting / release any time zone), a third switch (auto / manual mode switch) 14 for putting the elevator into automatic mode or manual mode (that is, maintenance mode), and the input unit 12 And a display unit 18 showing the input contents of the "

The first and second switches 14 and 15 are normally divided into switchable and release modes, respectively, and the third switch 16 is divided into automatic and manual modes.

Reference numeral 20 denotes a CAR control unit for controlling various functions according to the input signal from the operation panel 10. The main control unit 30 to be described later according to the signal input from the operation panel 10 is referred to. )

30 denotes a main controller that is electrically connected to the car control unit 20 to communicate with the car control unit 20 through a predetermined serial communication standard, for example, RS485 communication, so as to exchange control signals with the car control unit 20. A real time clock generator that applies a time clock to the main controller 30 indicates a memory capable of storing or deleting data in accordance with a control signal from the main controller 30.

The memory 34 is an EEPROM that does not lose data even when the power supply is turned off. The memory 34 can electrically erase and store data.

FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram schematically illustrating a process of setting, releasing and setting an arbitrary time zone and releasing a service floor in an elevator service floor operating control system according to the present invention. Hereinafter, the operation and effect of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 2. .

If the user wants to change the service floor, first, in step 100, when the third switch 16 installed at the predetermined position of the operation panel 10 is switched from the automatic mode to the manual mode, that is, the maintenance operation mode, a signal corresponding thereto is generated. It is input to the car control unit 20. Thereafter, when the first switch 14 is switched to the setting mode in step 102, a control signal corresponding thereto is input to the car controller 20.

Thereafter, the car control unit 20 communicates with the main control unit 30 to read data corresponding to a predetermined service layer stored in the memory 32 from the main control unit 30 and transmits the control signal accordingly to the car control unit 20. The control panel 10 is output to the control panel 10 through the control panel 10 so that the number buttons of the corresponding floor of the input unit 12 of the control panel 10 are turned on. Thereafter, when the predetermined preset floor number button of the input unit 12 is turned off again, in step 104, the user presses the illuminated preset floor number button to turn off the light. In operation 106, the number button corresponding to the service layer to be changed is pressed to light it. Thereafter, when the first switch 14 is switched back to the normal mode in step 108, a control signal corresponding thereto is input to the car control unit 20, and the car control unit 20 controls the main control unit by communication with the main control unit 30. The user can set a desired service layer by applying a control signal through the unit 30 to store data corresponding to the changed service layer in a predetermined storage address of the memory 34.

In addition, when the user wants to release the preset service layer, the user switches the third switch 16 installed at the predetermined position of the operation panel 10 from the automatic mode to the manual mode, that is, the maintenance operation mode in step 100. The control signal is input to the car control unit 20. Thereafter, when the first switch 14 is switched to the release mode in step 110, a control signal from the operation panel 10 is input to the car control unit 20, and the car control unit 20 communicates with the main control unit 30. The car control unit 20 reads the data for the predetermined service layer from the memory 34 and transmits a control signal according to the car control unit 20 through communication, so that the car control unit 20 transmits the data to the input unit 12 of the operation panel 10. The control signal is output so that the setting service layer number buttons are turned on. Thereafter, as the user switches the first switch 14 to the normal mode, the output control signal is transmitted to the main control unit 30 through the car control unit 20 and finally to the preset service layer stored in the memory 34. The control signal according to the data deletion is transmitted to the car controller 20. The preset service number button is turned off. This function is used for collective release of the preset elevator service floor.

The memory controlled by the main controller 30 is an EEPROM, and data is stored without being erased even when the power is turned off, and the stored data can be electrically deleted or stored.

Similarly, in the case where the user wants to operate by setting an arbitrary floor, the user switches the third switch 16 to manual, that is, maintenance operation mode in step 100, and then the first switch as in steps 110 and 112. By operating the step 14 for switching to the setting mode and the step for switching the first switch 14 to the normal mode, the elevator can be automatically driven to any desired floor.

On the other hand, in a department store or an office building, the service layer is usually set only during the existing service, and at any time, it may be necessary to change the existing set service layer. In this case, first, the user performs the step of switching the third switch 16 to the manual mode as in step 100, and then, in step 120, the user switches the second switch 15 to the setting mode. The car control unit 20 sends an input time zone request control signal to set an arbitrary time zone on the input unit 12 of the operation panel 10. In this case, the user sets an arbitrary time zone using the numeric buttons in step 122, and if the same process as the general service layer setting process is performed, that is, the process of step 108 is performed in step 102, data for requesting service layer operation in an arbitrary time zone is provided. By being stored in the memory 34, the service layer setting for the arbitrary time zone is completed. In the above description, the data regarding the arbitrary time zone service layer is stored separately from the data according to the general service layer setting in a predetermined storage address of the memory 34. In addition, the main controller 30 counts time from the real time clock generator 32, and when the predetermined time zone is reached, the main controller 30 reads data regarding the preset service layer setting from the memory 34 instead. The control signal is output to the car controller 20 so that the service layer setting data is read in the arbitrary time zone service, and only the arbitrary time zone service layer can be driven by the read signal.

On the other hand, if you want to release the service layer in any time zone, first perform the process of switching the third switch 16 to the maintenance operation mode in step 100, and then switch the second switch 15 to the release mode in step 130 The process is then completed by performing the same process as in steps 110 and 112. After a certain time period, the service reads the data of the preset service layer from the memory 34 to operate the original preset service layer through the main control unit 30, and the elevator presets the car through the car control unit 20. A software process is performed to operate the service layer, that is, to return to the original operation.

As described above, the skip operation functions such as the odd-numbered operation, the arbitrary floor changeover operation, the arbitrary time zone transfer service operation, and the like are performed when the service floor changes according to the characteristics of the building, the functional change, or the user's request. It was necessary to replace the ROM (ROM), and this caused a lot of time and cost because it can not be done immediately in the field to set up the service floor, but the elevator service setting and control method of the elevator service according to the present invention In case of setting and control, the service floor can be changed immediately by operating the service setting switch and the destination floor button without replacing the ROM. Cost savings and time savings due to ROM) replacement, service floors You can turn on and turn off the effect of which is to meet various user requirements.
