Im Rahmen der Montage und Installation einer Aufzugsanlage in einem Gebäude wird die Aufzugskabine während einer sogenannten Lernfahrt zu allen Haltepositionen, das heißt in alle Stockwerke, verfahren, um die Haltepositionen auf die Höhenniveaus der jeweiligen Stockwerke einzustellen. Ferner müssen die auf den einzelnen Stockwerken verteilten Bedieneinheiten, beispielsweise mit Zielruftasten ausgestattete Tableaus, und deren Kommunikation mit der zentrale Steuereinheit eingestellt beziehungsweise konfiguriert werden. Hierbei ist es erforderlich diese im Zugangsbereich zur Aufzugsanlage jedes Stockwerkes vorgesehenen Bedientableaus hinsichtlich ihrer Position, das heißt das Stockwerk, zu definieren und der Bedieneinheit zuzuordnen.As part of the installation and installation of an elevator system in a building, the elevator car during a so-called learning trip to all holding positions, that is, in all floors, moved to adjust the holding positions to the height levels of the respective floors. Furthermore, the operating units distributed on the individual floors, for example panels equipped with target call buttons, and their communication with the central control unit must be set or configured. In this case, it is necessary to define these operating panels, which are provided in the access area to the elevator installation of each floor, with regard to their position, that is to say the floor, and to assign them to the operating unit.

Die US 6672429 B1 beschreibt ein Verfahren zur seriellen Datenkommunikation in einem Aufzugssystem zwischen einem Computer und I/O-Geräten, Bedieneinheiten auf den Stockwerken und in einer Aufzugskabine und einer Selektionseinheit. Die Selektionseinheit enthält Sensoren, welche die Position der Aufzugskabine erfassen können (Spalte 2, Zeile 59 - Spalte 3, Zeile 31). Jedes I/O-Gerät wird durch eine 2-byte identifiziert. Das erste Byte gibt die Funktion an und das zweite Byte die Identität (Spalte 3, Zeile 58 - Spalte 4, Zeile12). Die zwei Byte sind in den Datenpakten, die zwischen dem Computer und den I/O-Geräten versendet werden, enthalten. Mit Hilfe eines Servicetools, welches in die serielle Datenkommunikation eingebracht wird, können die Identitäten und Funktionen der einzelnen I/O-Geräten abgefragt werden (Spalte 4, Zeilen 21 - 41).The US 6672429 B1 describes a method for serial data communication in an elevator system between a computer and I / O devices, operating units on the floors and in an elevator car and a selection unit. The selection unit contains sensors that can detect the position of the elevator car (column 2, line 59 - column 3, line 31). Each I / O device is identified by a 2-byte. The first byte indicates the function and the second byte the identity (column 3, line 58 - column 4, line 12). The two bytes are contained in the data packets sent between the computer and the I / O devices. With the help of a service tool, which is inserted in the serial data communication, the identities and functions of each I / O devices can be queried (column 4, lines 21 - 41).

Die GB 1468061 beschreibt ein Verfahren zur Steuerung einer Mehrzahl von Aufzügen in einem Gebäude. Dazu wird ein Computer mit einem Programm verwendet.The GB 1468061 describes a method for controlling a plurality of elevators in a building. This is done using a computer with a program.

Die EP 0248997 A1 beschreibt ein Verfahren zur Steuerung einer Gruppe von Aufzügen in einem Gebäude. Mittels einer Verriegelungsschaltung wird bewirkt, dass bei Anwesenheit mehrerer Kabinen auf der Haupthaltestelle immer nur die Türen derjenigen Aufzugskabine geöffnet werden, die für die Aufzugsfahrt, welche durch eine Eingabe in eine Rufregistrierungseinrichtung angefordert wurde, zugeteilt ist.The EP 0248997 A1 describes a method for controlling a group of elevators in a building. By means of a locking circuit is effected that in the presence of several cars on the main stop always only the doors of that elevator car are opened, which is assigned for the elevator ride, which was requested by an input to a Rufregistrierungseinrichtung.

Die US 6427807 B1 beschreibt ein Verfahren zum Konfigurieren von an einer Aufzugssteuerung über ein Bus-System angeschlossenen I/O-Modul und daran angeschlossenen Emittern und Signalgebern. Jedem besetzten Anschluss der I/O-Module wird ein programmierbares Anschlusskonfigurationsmodul zugewiesen, das der Aufzugssteuerung die erforderlichen Informationen hinsichtlich Art und Funktion des an dem entsprechenden Anschluss angeschlossenen Emitters bzw. Signalgebers liefert.The US 6427807 B1 describes a method for configuring an I / O module connected to an elevator controller via a bus system and emitters and signalers connected thereto. Each occupied port of the I / O modules is assigned a programmable port configuration module that provides the elevator controller with the required information regarding the nature and function of the emitter or signal transmitter connected to the corresponding port.

Herkömmlicherweise erfolgt diese Einstellung mittels mehrerer Schalter, die jeweils händisch von einem Monteur in jedem Stockwerk bei jeder Bedieneinheit eingestellt werden müssen. Auf diese Weise manuell durchgeführte Konfigurationen erfordern einen hohen Zeit- und Personalaufwand. Darüber hinaus stellen solche Schalter kostenintensive Bauteile dar.
Die Bedieneinheit besteht normalerweise aus einem Print, der ein Tableau für die Rufeingabe und einen Anzeiger beinhaltet. Das Tableau für die Rufeingabe und der Anzeiger sind teilweise zwei verschiedene Prints. In diesem Fall besteht die Bedieneinheit aus zwei Prints, welche beide eingestellt werden müssen.Conventionally, this setting is done by means of several switches, each of which must be manually set by a fitter in each floor at each control unit. Manually performed configurations in this way require a great deal of time and personnel. In addition, such switches are costly components.
The control panel normally consists of a print containing a call-entry panel and an indicator. The tableau for the call input and the indicator are partly two different prints. In this Case, the control unit consists of two prints, both of which must be set.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren zur Einstellung der Stockwerkszuordnungen einer Vielzahl von Bedieneinheiten einer Aufzugsanlage so weiterzubilden, dass die Stockwerkszuordnungen der Bedieneinheiten einfacher einstellbar sind.The invention is therefore based on the object , a method for adjusting the floor assignments of a plurality of control units of a lift system in such a way that the floor assignments of the control units are easier to set.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist bei einem Verfahren zur Einstellung der Stockwerkszuordnungen einer Vielzahl von Bedieneinheiten einer Aufzugsanlage, wobei die Bedieneinheiten auf einer Vielzahl von Stockwerken verteilt sind, und die Stockwerke von einer eine Sensoreinheit umfassenden Aufzugskabine anfahrbar sind, in Übereinstimmung mit Anspruch 1 erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, dass das Verfahren folgende Schritte umfasst:

  1. a) Verfahren der Aufzugskabine in ein vorbestimmtes Stockwerk;
  2. b) Aktivierung der dem angefahrenen Stockwerk zugeteilten Bedieneinheit;
  3. c) Übermittlung von Positionsdaten, die das Stockwerk beschreiben, in dem sich die Bedieneinheit befindet, von der Sendeeinheit an die Bedieneinheit oder an die zentrale Steuereinheit, und
  4. d) Speicherung der Positionsdaten in einer Speichereinheit der Bedieneinheit oder in der zentralen Steuereinheit.
To solve this problem, in a method for adjusting the floor assignments of a plurality of operating units of an elevator installation, wherein the operating units are distributed on a plurality of floors, and the floors are accessible from a lift cabin comprising a sensor unit, provided according to the invention in accordance with claim 1, the method comprises the following steps:
  1. a) moving the elevator car to a predetermined floor;
  2. b) activation of the control panel assigned to the approached floor;

  4. d) storing the position data in a memory unit of the operating unit or in the central control unit.

Mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren wird eine vergleichsweise einfache und schnell durchzuführende Einstellung der Stockwerkszuordnungen der Bedieneinheiten möglich. So kann auf eine manuelle Einstellung von Schaltern jeder einzelnen Bedieneinheit verzichtet werden. Ferner werden dadurch etwaige Fehleinstellungen der Schalter reduziert.With the method according to the invention, a comparatively simple and quickly carried out adjustment of the floor assignments of the operating units is possible. So can be dispensed with a manual adjustment of switches each individual control unit. Furthermore, any incorrect settings of the switches are thereby reduced.

Unter einer "Bedieneinheit" im Sinne der vorliegenden Erfindung werden die im Zugangsbereich jedes Stockwerks zur Aufzugsanlage vorgesehenen Tableaus mit wenigstens einem von dem Benutzer bedienbaren Schalter zur Nutzung der Aufzugsanlage verstanden. Vorzugsweise handelt es sich dabei um die üblichen Zielrufrichtungstasten.In the context of the present invention, a "control unit" in the context of the present invention comprises the panels provided with at least one user-operable switch in the access area of each floor to the elevator installation Use of the elevator system understood. Preferably, these are the usual destination call direction keys.

Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens sind in den Ansprüchen 2 bis 7 beschrieben.Advantageous developments of the method according to the invention are described in claims 2 to 7.

Bei einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung des Verfahrens ist vorgesehen, dass die Aufzugskabine mittels automatischer Steuerung durch die zentrale Steuereinheit in das Stockwerk verfahren wird. So kann ein Einstellprogramm zur Verfügung gestellt werden, das ein Anfahren aller Stockwerke zum Zwecke der Zuordnung der einzelnen Bedieneinheiten ermöglicht. Alternativ können die Stockwerke auch durch manuelle Betätigung entsprechender Zielrufschalter der Aufzugskabine angefahren werden.In an advantageous embodiment of the method is provided that the elevator car is moved by means of automatic control by the central control unit in the floor. Thus, an adjustment program can be made available that allows a start all floors for the purpose of assigning the individual control units. Alternatively, the floors can also be approached by manual actuation of appropriate Zielrufschalter the elevator car.

In einer Weiterbildung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Bedieneinheit durch Senden eines Aktivierungssignals von der Sendeeinheit an die Bedieneinheit aktiviert wird. Alternativ kann dieser Aktivierungsvorgang aber auch manuell durch Betätigung der Bedieneinheit erfolgen.In a development of the method according to the invention, it is proposed that the operating unit be activated by sending an activation signal from the transmitting unit to the operating unit. Alternatively, this activation process can also be done manually by pressing the control unit.

Vorteilhafterweise werden die Positionsdaten zusätzlich in der zentralen Steuereinheit gespeichert. Ferner kann vorgesehen sein, dass zusätzlich zu den Positionsdaten auch Daten übermittelt werden, die den Zugang zur Aufzugskabine kennzeichnen. Dies trifft für Aufzuganlagen zu, bei denen die Aufzugskabine mehr als eine Kabinentür aufweist. Jede Kabinentür bildet einen solchen Zugang.Advantageously, the position data are additionally stored in the central control unit. Furthermore, it can be provided that in addition to the position data also data are transmitted, which characterize the access to the elevator car. This is true for elevator installations in which the elevator car has more than one car door. Each cabin door forms such an access.

Um auf einfache Weise eine Einstellung der Stockwerkszuordnungen aller Bedieneinheiten für alle Stockwerke zu erreichen, werden die oben genannten Schritte a) bis d) für alle in dem jeweiligen Gebäude vorhandenen Stockwerke wiederholt. Gleichermaßen werden vorgenannte Schritte in jedem Stockwerk für jeden Zugang zur Aufzugskabine wiederholt.In order to easily achieve an adjustment of the floor assignments of all control units for all floors, the above steps a) to d) are repeated for all existing floors in each building. Likewise, the above steps are repeated on each floor for each access to the elevator car.

Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnung weiter erläutert.The invention will be further explained with reference to the drawing.

Die Fig. 1 zeigt schematisch ein Gebäude 10 mit einer Aufzugsanlage 20. Die Aufzugsanlage 20 umfasst eine vertikal verfahrbare Aufzugskabine 30 mit zwei Kabinentüren 33, 34 und einem Bedientableau 32 mit mehreren Zielrufschaltern. An der Aufzugskabine 30 ist eine Sendeeinheit 35 vorgesehen, die im Datenaustausch mit einer zentralen Steuereinheit 40 steht. Die zentrale Steuereinheit 40 dient zur Steuerung der Aufzugsanlage 20.The Fig. 1 schematically shows a building 10 with an elevator system 20. The elevator system 20 comprises a vertically movable elevator car 30 with two car doors 33, 34 and a control panel 32 with multiple destination callers. At the elevator car 30, a transmitting unit 35 is provided, which is in communication with a central control unit 40. The central control unit 40 serves to control the elevator installation 20.

Das Gebäude 10 weist ein erstes Stockwerk 11, ein zweites Stockwerk 13, ein drittes Stockwerk 15 und ein viertes Stockwerk 17 auf. Auf jedem dieser Stockwerke 11, 13, 15, 17 befindet sich jeweils ein linksseitiger und ein rechtsseitiger Zugang zur Aufzugsanlage 20, der jeweils mittels einer Zugangstür 12a, 12b, 14a, 14b, 16a, 16b, 18a, 18b verschließbar ist. Über diese Zugänge kann die Aufzugskabine 30 von zwei Seiten her betreten und verlassen werden. Im Bereich jedes Zuganges befindet sich eine Bedieneinheit 50 bis 57, über die ein Benutzer die Aufzugskabine 30 anfordern kann und/oder einen Zielruf abgeben kann. Jede Bedieneinheit 50 bis 57 umfasst eine Speichereinheit 60 und mehrere Zielruftasten. Ferner steht jede Bedieneinheit 50 bis 57 in Datenkommunikation mit der zentralen Steuereinheit 40.The building 10 has a first floor 11, a second floor 13, a third floor 15 and a fourth floor 17. On each of these floors 11, 13, 15, 17 there is a left-side and a right-side access to the elevator installation 20, each of which can be closed by means of an access door 12a, 12b, 14a, 14b, 16a, 16b, 18a, 18b. About these accesses the elevator car 30 can be entered and left from two sides. In the area of each access is an operating unit 50 to 57, via which a user can request the elevator car 30 and / or make a destination call. Each operating unit 50 to 57 comprises a memory unit 60 and a plurality of destination call buttons. Furthermore, each operating unit 50 to 57 is in data communication with the central control unit 40.

Auf Grundlage dieses Systems werden im Folgenden zwei Varianten eines Verfahrens zur Einstellung der Stockwerkszuordnungen der Bedieneinheiten 50 bis 57 erläutert.Based on this system, two variants of a method for adjusting the floor assignments of the operating units 50 to 57 will be explained below.

Bei einer ersten Variante des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens wird die zentrale Steuereinheit 40 zunächst in einen Einstellmodus versetzt. Als erstes wird die Aufzugskabine 30 in das vierte Stockwerk 17 verfahren und die Kabinentür 34 geöffnet. Eine Person des Montagepersonals betritt die Aufzugskabine 30 und betätigt eine der Zielruftasten des Bedientableaus 32, so dass die Aufzugskabine 30 in das dritte Stockwerk 15 verfahren wird. Nachdem die Aufzugskabine 30 das dritte Stockwerk 15 erreicht hat, öffnen sich die Kabinentür 34 und die Zugangstür 16b. Die Person verlässt die Aufzugskabine 30 und betätigt eine Taste der Bedieneinheit 54, um diese zu aktivieren. Nach Herstellung einer Datenfunkverbindung zwischen der Sendeeinheit 35 und der Bedieneinheit 54 übermittelt die Sendeeinheit 35 Positionsdaten an die Bedieneinheit 54 und/oder an die zentrale Steuereinheit 40. Die Positionsdaten sind in der Sendeeinheit 35 und/oder der zentralen Steuereinheit 40 hinterlegt oder werden durch die Einheiten 35, 40 ermittelt. Die an die Bedieneinheit 54 übermittelten Positionsdaten enthalten die Angabe der Stockwerksnummer des Gebäudes 10 und die Bezeichnung des Zugangs beziehungsweise der Zugangstür 16b. Die Positionsdaten werden vorzugsweise in der Speichereinheit 60 der Bedieneinheit 54 gespeichert. Auf diese Weise ist im späteren Betrieb der Aufzugsanlage 20 bei Abgabe eines Zielrufes über die Bedieneinheit 54 für die zentrale Steuereinheit 40 erkennbar, auf welchem Stockwerk und im Bereich welchen Zugangs sich die zu befördernde Person befindet.In a first variant of the method according to the invention, the central control unit 40 is first set in a setting mode. First, the elevator car 30 is moved to the fourth floor 17 and the car door 34 is opened. A person of the assembly personnel enters the elevator car 30 and operates one of the destination call buttons of the control panel 32, so that the elevator car 30 is moved to the third floor 15. After the elevator car 30 has reached the third floor 15, the car door 34 and the access door 16b open. The person leaves the elevator car 30 and operates a key of the operating unit 54 to activate it. After establishing a data radio connection between the transmitting unit 35 and the operating unit 54, the transmitting unit 35 transmits position data to the operating unit 54 and / or to the central control unit 40. The position data are stored in the transmitting unit 35 and / or the central control unit 40 or by the units 35, 40 determined. The position data transmitted to the operating unit 54 include the indication of the floor number of the building 10 and the name of the access or access door 16b. The position data is preferably stored in the storage unit 60 of the operation unit 54. In this way, in the subsequent operation of the elevator installation 20 upon delivery of a destination call via the operating unit 54 for the central control unit 40, it can be recognized on which floor and in the area of which access the person to be transported is located.

Anschließend betritt die Person die Aufzugskabine 30 und betätigt eine entsprechende Taste des Bedientableaus 32 zum Schließen der Kabinentür 34. Nachfolgend betätigt die Person eine weitere Taste des Bedientableaus 32, um die linksseitige Kabinentür 33 und die Zugangstür 16a zu öffnen. Nach Verlassen der Aufzugskabine 30 in den linksseitigen Bereich des Stockwerks 15 betätigt die Person die Bedieneinheit 55, um diese zu aktivieren. Nach Herstellung einer Datenverbindung zwischen der Sendeeinheit 35 und der Bedieneinheit 55 übermittelt die Sendeeinheit 35 entsprechend der obigen Vorgehensweise die Positionsdaten an die Bedieneinheit 55. Die Positionsdaten werden in der Speichereinheit 60 der Bedieneinheit 55 und/oder in der zentralen Steuereinheit 40 hinterlegt.Subsequently, the person enters the elevator car 30 and operates a corresponding button of the control panel 32 to close the car door 34. Subsequently, the person actuates another button on the control panel 32 to open the left-side car door 33 and the access door 16a. After leaving the elevator car 30 in the left-side area of the floor 15, the person operates the control unit 55 to activate them. After establishing a data connection between the transmitting unit 35 and the operating unit 55, the transmitting unit 35 transmits the position data to the operating unit 55 in accordance with the above procedure. The position data are stored in the memory unit 60 of the operating unit 55 and / or in the central control unit 40.

Nach erneutem Betreten der Aufzugskabine 30 betätigt die Person das Bedientableau 32, um die Aufzugskabine 30 in das zweite Stockwerk 13 zu verfahren. Dieses Stockwerk 13 sowie alle restlichen Stockwerke betreffend werden die oben beschriebenen Verfahrensschritte entsprechend durchgeführt, so dass am Ende des Einstellverfahrens jede Bedieneinheit 50 bis 57 dem jeweiligen Stockwerk 11, 13, 15, 17 zugeordnet ist. So kann die zentrale Steuereinheit 40 beim späteren normalen Betrieb der Aufzugsanlage 20 eindeutig erkennen, von welcher Bedieneinheit 50 bis 57 ein entsprechender Zielruf abgegeben worden ist.After re-entering the elevator car 30, the person actuates the control panel 32 to move the elevator car 30 to the second floor 13. With regard to this floor 13 as well as all the remaining floors, the method steps described above are carried out correspondingly, so that at the end of the setting process each operating unit 50 to 57 is assigned to the respective floor 11, 13, 15, 17. Thus, the central control unit 40 can clearly recognize during later normal operation of the elevator installation 20, from which operating unit 50 to 57 a corresponding destination call has been issued.

Die zweite Variante des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens unterscheidet sich von der ersten Variante im Wesentlichen darin, dass das Einstellverfahren weitgehend automatisch durchgeführt wird. Auf diese Weise ist es nicht erforderlich, dass eine Person des Montagepersonals während der "Einstellfahrt" die einzelnen Bedieneinheiten 50 bis 57 und das Bedientableau 32 der Aufzugskabine 30 betätigt, um die Übermittlung der Positionsdaten und das Verfahren der Aufzugskabine 30 zwischen den einzelnen Stockwerken 11, 13, 15, 17 zu ermöglichen.The second variant of the method according to the invention differs from the first variant essentially in that the setting process is carried out largely automatically. In this way, it is not necessary for a person of the assembly personnel to operate the individual operating units 50 to 57 and the operating panel 32 of the elevator car 30 during the "setting run" in order to transmit the position data and the method of the elevator car 30 between the individual floors 11. 13, 15, 17 to allow.

Bei dieser zweiten Variante umfasst die Sendeeinheit 35 ein RFID-Sendeteil, das über einen vorbestimmten Zeitraum ein Aktivierungssignal innerhalb einer vorbestimmten Reichweite aussendet. Im vorliegenden Fall beträgt die Reichweite ca. 1 bis 2 m. Ferner umfassen sämtliche Bedieneinheiten 50 bis 57 jeweils ein RFID-Empfängerteil.In this second variant, the transmission unit 35 comprises an RFID transmission part, which emits an activation signal within a predetermined range over a predetermined period of time. In the present case, the range is about 1 to 2 m. Furthermore, all operating units 50 to 57 each comprise an RFID receiver part.

Der RFID Chip kann auf dem Anzeiger / Bedieneinheit Print sein, da ein RFID Chip nur ein paar Rappen kostet, und die Empfangseinheit doch bedeutend teurer ist. Die Ausgesendete ID vom RFID Chip muss mit der Printadresse übereinstimmen. Dies Erlaubt nach dem detektieren des RFID Chips den Anzeiger / die Bedieneinheit gezielt über den Feldlbus anzusprechen und zu konfigurieren.
Der eher etwas teurere Sender ist auf der Kabine Montiert, und kann allenfalls nach der Lernfahrt wieder entfernt werden.The RFID chip may be printed on the display / control unit, since an RFID chip only costs a few centimes, and the receiving unit is considerably more expensive. The sent ID from the RFID chip must match the print address. This allows the indicator / operating unit to be addressed and configured selectively via the fieldbus after the RFID chip has been detected.
The rather more expensive transmitter is mounted on the cab, and can be removed after the learning trip if necessary.

So wird in einem ersten Schritt die Aufzugskabine 30 ausgehend von dem obersten Stockwerk 17 automatisch in das dritte Stockwerk 15 verfahren und automatisch die entsprechende Kabinentür 34 und Zugangstür 16b geöffnet. Sobald sich die Sendeeinheit 35 innerhalb der vorbestimmten Reichweite von der Bedieneinheit 54 befindet, empfängt die Bedieneinheit 54 das von dem RFID-Sendeteil ausgesendete Aktivierungssignal, wodurch die Bedieneinheit 54 aktiviert wird. Nachfolgend übersendet die Bedieneinheit 54 ein Bestätigungssignal an die Sendeeinheit 35. Im nächsten Schritt übermittelt die Sendeeinheit 35 wie bei der ersten Variante die Positionsdaten an die Bedieneinheit 54 und/oder an die zentrale Steuereinheit 40. Die Positionsdaten werden wiederum in der Speichereinheit 60 der Bedieneinheit 54 und/oder in der zentralen Steuereinheit 40 hinterlegt. Anschließend wird die Zugangstür 16b und Kabinentür 34 automatisch geschlossen und die zur anderen Seite des Stockwerks 15 hin gerichtete Zugangstür 16a und Kabinentür 33 automatisch geöffnet. Das von dem RFID-Sendeteil der Sendeeinheit 35 ausgesendete Aktivierungssignal wird von dem RFID-Empfängerteil der Bedieneinheit 55 empfangen. Danach erfolgt wiederum die Übermittlung des Bestätigungssignals an die Sendeeinheit 35 und der Positionsdaten an die Bedieneinheit 55 und/oder an die zentrale Steuereinheit 40. Die Positionsdaten werden in der Speichereinheit 60 der Bedieneinheit 55 und/oder in der zentralen Steuereinheit 40 hinterlegt. Anschließend werden die Zugangstür 16a und Kabinentür 33 automatisch geschlossen und die Aufzugskabine 30 in das Stockwerk 13 verfahren.Thus, in a first step, the elevator car 30 is moved automatically from the uppermost floor 17 to the third floor 15 and automatically the corresponding car door 34 and access door 16b are opened. As soon as the transmitting unit 35 is within the predetermined range of the operating unit 54, the operating unit 54 receives the activation signal emitted by the RFID transmitting portion, whereby the operating unit 54 is activated. Subsequently, the operating unit 54 transmits an acknowledgment signal to the transmitting unit 35. In the next step, as in the first variant, the transmitting unit 35 transmits the position data to the operating unit 54 and / or to the central control unit 40. The position data are again stored in the memory unit 60 of the operating unit 54 and / or stored in the central control unit 40. Subsequently, the access door 16b and car door 34 is automatically closed and the access door 16a and the car door 33 directed toward the other side of the floor 15 are automatically opened. The activation signal emitted by the RFID transmission part of the transmission unit 35 is received by the RFID receiver part of the operation unit 55. Thereafter, in turn, the transmission of the confirmation signal to the transmitting unit 35 and the position data to the operating unit 55 and / or to the central control unit 40. The position data are stored in the memory unit 60 of the control unit 55 and / or in the central control unit 40. Subsequently, the access door 16a and car door 33 are automatically closed and the elevator car 30 moved to the floor 13.

Im Anschluss daran werden sämtliche vorbeschriebenen Verfahrensschritte in allen Stockwerken 11, 13, 15, 17 für den rechtsseitigen und den linksseitigen Zugang wiederholt. Auf diese Weise können mittels eines vollautomatischen Einstellverfahrens sämtliche Bedieneinheiten 50 bis 57 aller Stockwerke 11, 13, 15, 17 mit den entsprechenden Daten zur Einstellung der Stockwerkszuordnungen versehen werden.Following this, all the above-described method steps are repeated on all floors 11, 13, 15, 17 for the right-hand side and the left-hand side access. In this way, by means of a fully automatic setting method, all operating units 50 to 57 of all floors 11, 13, 15, 17 can be provided with the corresponding data for setting the floor allocations.

Die beiden vorbeschriebenen Varianten des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens zeichnen sich insbesondere dadurch aus, dass zur Einstellung der Stockwerkszuordnungen der Bedieneinheiten 50 bis 57 keine manuelle Betätigung von herkömmlicherweise vorhandenen Schaltern der Bedieneinheiten 50 bis 57 erforderlich ist. Mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren kann diese Einstellung mit einer vorzugsweise drahtlosen Datenübertragung mittels RFID-Technik durchgeführt werden. Dabei zeichnet sich die zweite Ausführungsvariante des Verfahrens insbesondere dadurch aus, dass die RFID-Empfängerteile nur vorübergehend an den Bedieneinheiten 50 bis 57 angebracht sind und nach Durchführung des Einstellverfahrens entfernt werden können und beispielsweise für die Konfiguration einer weiteren Aufzugsanlage in einem anderen Gebäude herangezogen werden können.
Der Installateur muss gegebenenfalls nach der Lernfahrt wieder manuelle eingriffe vornehmen, um die Sender von den Anzeigern / Bedieneinheiten zu entfernen.The two above-described variants of the method according to the invention are characterized in particular by the fact that no manual actuation of conventionally existing switches of the operating units 50 to 57 is required for setting the floor assignments of the operating units 50 to 57. With the method according to the invention, this adjustment can be carried out with a preferably wireless data transmission by means of RFID technology. In this case, the second embodiment of the method is characterized in particular by the fact that the RFID receiver parts are only temporarily attached to the control units 50 to 57 and can be removed after performing the adjustment and can be used for example for the configuration of another elevator installation in another building ,
The installer may need to perform manual interventions after learning to remove the transmitters from the indicators / controls.
