Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Modernisierung der Steuerung einer Aufzugsanlage, die wenigstens ein Terminal umfasst.The present invention relates to a method for modernizing the control of an elevator installation comprising at least one terminal.

Herkömmlicherweise wird die Steuerung einer Aufzugsanlage in bestimmten Zeitabständen, beispielsweise im Rahmen von Wartungsarbeiten, mit einem Steuerdatenpaket zur Modernisierung der Steuerungsfunktionen der Aufzugsanlage aktualisiert. Ein solches Datenpaket ist in der Regel auf einem Speicherlement, wie beispielweise einer Speicherkarte, hinterlegt. So ist es beispielsweise aus der EP 0 857 684 B1 bekannt, eine Speicherkarte mit einem Speicherelement, auf dem die für die Funktion der Aufzugsanlage notwendigen Steuerungsdaten hinterlegt sind, im Rahmen der Installierung und für den fortlaufenden Betrieb der Aufzugsanlage permanent an der zentralen Steuereinheit verbunden zu halten, wobei die Aufzugsanlage ohne die Speicherkarte nicht funktionsfähig ist. Mit anderen Worten ist die Speicherkarte fest in einem Steckplatz eingesetzt, wodurch über eine feste Schnittstelle ein permanenter Zugriff auf die Steuerdaten möglich ist.Conventionally, the control of an elevator installation is updated at certain time intervals, for example as part of maintenance work, with a control data packet for modernizing the control functions of the elevator installation. Such a data packet is usually stored on a memory element, such as a memory card. So it is for example from the EP 0 857 684 B1 It is known to keep a memory card with a memory element on which the control data necessary for the operation of the elevator installation is permanently connected to the central control unit as part of the installation and for the continuous operation of the elevator installation, wherein the elevator installation without the memory card is not functional , In other words, the memory card is firmly inserted in a slot, whereby a permanent interface permanent access to the control data is possible.

Hierbei ergibt sich jedoch der Nachteil, dass zur Modernisierung der Steuerungsfunktionen der Aufzugsanlage die Speicherkarte mit den bisherigen Steuerdaten entfernt und eine neue Speicherkarte mit den aktualisierten Steuerdaten eingesetzt werden muss. Dies erfordert einen erhöhten Wartungsaufwand, wobei sich das Wartungspersonal Zugang zu der zentralen Steuereinheit verschaffen und das entsprechende Gehäuse öffnen und verschließen muss.However, this has the disadvantage that to modernize the control functions of the elevator system, the memory card with the previous control data removed and a new memory card must be used with the updated control data. This requires an increased maintenance, with the maintenance personnel gaining access to the central control unit and having to open and close the corresponding housing.

Ferner sind Aufzugsanlagen mit auf den einzelnen Stockwerken positionierten Zielrufterminals bekannt, die jeweils mit einer RFID-Leseeinheit versehen sind und nicht zentral über eine Fernwartungsmöglichkeit zugänglich sind. So besteht hier der Nachteil, dass die entsprechenden Zielrufterminals einzeln gewartet werden müssen. Hierbei muss das Zielrufterminal geöffnet und die komplette RFID-Leseeinheit ausgetauscht werden. Weiterhin ist es bekannt, auch Zielrufterminals mit Steckkarten zu betreiben, so dass auch hier bei einer Modernisierung der Funktionen des Zielrufterminals ein Austausch der Steckkarten erforderlich ist. Bei einer Aufzugsanlage mit vielen Stockwerken, erfordert dies einen hohen Wartungsaufwand, sowohl hinsichtlich des Personaleinsatzes als auch in Hinblick auf die Anzahl der bereitzustellenden neuen Steckkarten.Furthermore, elevator systems with positioned on the individual floors destination call terminals are known, which are each provided with an RFID reading unit and are not centrally accessible via a remote maintenance option. So here is the disadvantage that the corresponding Destination terminals have to be maintained individually. In this case, the destination call terminal must be opened and the complete RFID reader unit exchanged. Furthermore, it is known to also operate destination call terminals with plug-in cards, so that an exchange of the plug-in cards is also required here for a modernization of the functions of the destination call terminal. In a lift system with many floors, this requires a high level of maintenance, both in terms of staffing and in terms of the number of new plug-in cards to be provided.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren zur Modernisierung einer Aufzugsanlage anzugeben, bei dem die Steuerungsfunktionen der Aufzugsanlage mit einfachen Mitteln aktualisiert werden können.The invention has for its object to provide a method for modernizing an elevator installation, in which the control functions of the elevator installation can be updated with simple means.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist bei einem Verfahren zur Modernisierung der Steuerung einer Aufzugsanlage mit wenigstens einem Terminal, das mit einem auf einem mobilen Steuerdatenspeicherelement hinterlegten Steuerdatenpaket zur Modernisierung der Steuerungsfunktionen aktualisiert wird in Übereinstimmung mit Anspruch 1 erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, dass das Steuerdatenpaket mittels einer innerhalb einer vorbestimmten Entfernung zwischen dem mobilen Steuerdatenspeicherelement und dem Terminal generierten Nahfeld-Funkverbindung von dem mobilen Steuerdatenspeicherelement an das Terminal gesendet und das Steuerdatenpaket in einer Speichereinheit des Terminals hinterlegt wird.In order to solve this problem, in a method for modernizing the control of an elevator installation with at least one terminal, which is updated with a control data packet stored on a mobile control data storage element for modernizing the control functions, according to the invention, the control data packet is provided by means of one within a predetermined one Distance between the mobile control data storage element and the terminal generated near-field radio link sent from the mobile control data storage element to the terminal and the control data packet is stored in a memory unit of the terminal.

Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren ermöglicht auf einfache Art und Weise die Übermittlung aktueller Steuerdatenpakete mittels einer drahtlosen Nahfeld-Funkverbindung in einem eingeschränkten Umfeld um das Terminal herum. Mit anderen Worten kann mittels des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens ein Softwareupdate auf das Zielrufterminal, insbesondere auf eine für eine solche Nahfeld-Funkverbindung eingerichtete und abgestimmte RFID-Empfängereinheit, übertragen werden, indem das mobile Steuerdatenspeicherelement, wie beispielsweise eine RFID-Speicherkarte oder ein Mobiltelefon, in unmittelbarer Nähe des Zielrufterminals an die RFID-Empfängereinheit des Zielrufterminals gehalten wird und nach Aktivierung der Nahfeld-Funkverbindung das Steuerdatenpaket an das Zielrufterminal übertragen werden kann. Anschließend kann das Steuerdatenpaket in einer Speichereinheit des Zielrufterminals gespeichert werden und die Nahfeld-Funkverbindung deaktiviert werden, beispielweise ganz einfach dadurch, dass sich die das Steuerdatenspeicherelement mitführende Person von dem Zielrufterminal bis außerhalb der Reichweite der Funkverbindung entfernt.The method according to the invention makes it possible in a simple manner to transmit current control data packets by means of a wireless near-field radio link in a restricted environment around the terminal. In other words, by means of the method according to the invention, a software update can be transmitted to the destination call terminal, in particular to an RFID receiver unit set up and tuned for such a near field radio connection, by the mobile control data storage element, such as an RFID memory card or a mobile phone is held in the immediate vicinity of the destination call terminal to the RFID receiver unit of the destination call terminal and after activation of the near-field radio connection, the control data packet can be transmitted to the destination call terminal. The control data packet can then be stored in a memory unit of the destination call terminal and the near-field radio connection deactivated, for example simply by the person carrying the control data memory element away from the destination call terminal until outside the range of the radio connection.

So ermöglicht das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren die mehrfache Verwendung eines Steuerdatenspeicherelementes zur vielfachen Übertragung des Steuerdatenpaketes an eine Vielzahl von Zielrufterminals zur Modernisierung der Steurungsfunktionen beliebig vieler Aufzugsanlagen. Zudem ist es nicht erforderlich, dass das Steuerdatenspeicherelement permanent an oder in dem Zielrufterminal verbleibt. Es kann auf den herkömmlicherweise erforderlichen Wechsel von Steuerkarten verzichtet werden. Insgesamt reduziert sich der Wartungsaufwand erheblich, nicht nur durch wegfallende Ausbau- und Einbauarbeiten, sondern auch durch die Reduzierung der Materialkosten in Folge des Wegfalls der Herstellung neuer Steuerkarten. Ferner erfordert die erfindungsgemäße Lösung keinen Mehraufwand zur Sicherung der Aufzugsanlage vor Mißbrauch, da eine Abfrage von Berechtigungscodes ohne weiteres intergriert werden kann.Thus, the inventive method allows the multiple use of a control data storage element for multiple transmission of the control data packet to a plurality of destination call terminals for modernizing the Steurungsfunktionen any number of elevator systems. In addition, it is not necessary for the control data storage element to remain permanently on or in the destination call terminal. It can be dispensed with the conventionally required change of control cards. Overall, the maintenance effort is reduced significantly, not only by eliminating removal and installation work, but also by reducing the cost of materials due to the elimination of the production of new control cards. Furthermore, the solution according to the invention requires no additional effort to secure the elevator system against abuse, since a query of authorization codes can be easily integrated.

Das Verfahren ist nicht auf Zielrufterminals beschränkt, sondern kann auch bei elektronischen Türschlössern, usw. angewendet werden, eigentlich bei allen Geräten mit einem RFID- oder NFC-Leser, welche als Terminal definiert werden.The method is not limited to destination call terminals, but can also be applied to electronic door locks, etc., actually all devices with an RFID or NFC reader, which are defined as a terminal.

Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens sind in den Ansprüchen 2 bis 8 beschrieben.Advantageous developments of the method according to the invention are described in claims 2 to 8.

Bei einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung des Verfahrens ist vorgesehen, dass als mobiles Steuerdatenspeicherelement eine von einer Person mitgeführte Speicherkarte, insbesondere eine RFID-Speicherkarte, mit einer Sendeeinrichtung verwendet wird. Eine derartige Speicherkarte kann sowohl in der aktiven Variante, dass heißt beispielsweise mit integrierter Batterie, oder in der passiven Variante ausgeführt sein, bei der die Speicherkarte über ein von dem Zielrufterminal ausgestrahltes elektromagnetisches Feld aktiviert und mit Strom versorgt wird. Vorteilhafterweise wird als mobiles Steuerdatenspeicher-element ein Mobiltelefon verwendet. Auf diese Weise kann beispielsweise zugleich eine Berechtigungsabfrage über das Mobiltelefon erfolgen, bei der ein entsprechender Code über das Tastaturfeld des Mobiltelefon eingegeben und an das Zielrufterminal übermittelt werden kann.In an advantageous development of the method, it is provided that a memory card carried by a person, in particular an RFID memory card, having a transmitting device is used as the mobile control data storage element. Such a memory card can be embodied both in the active variant, that is to say, for example, with an integrated battery, or in the passive variant, in which the memory card is activated and supplied with power via an electromagnetic field emitted by the destination call terminal. Advantageously, a mobile telephone is used as the mobile control data storage element. In this way, for example, at the same time an authorization query via the mobile phone, in which a corresponding code can be entered via the keypad of the mobile phone and transmitted to the destination call terminal.

Vorteilhafterweise beträgt die Entfernung innerhalb welcher die Nahfeld-Funkverbindung generiert wird weniger als etwa 1 m, insbesondere weniger als etwa 30 cm. Eine derartig geringe Reichweite der Nahfeld-Funkverbindung erfordert es, dass das Steuerdatenspeicherelement in unmittelbarer Nähe des Zielrufterminals positioniert wird, wodurch eine zusätzliche Sicherheit vor Missbrauch gegeben ist.Advantageously, the distance within which the near-field radio link is generated is less than about 1 m, in particular less than about 30 cm. Such a short range of the near-field radio link requires that the control data storage element be positioned in the immediate vicinity of the destination call terminal, which provides additional security against misuse.

Bei einer weiteren vorteilhaften Weiterbildung wird das Steuerdatenpaket von dem Zielrufterminal an eine zentrale Steuereinheit der Aufzugsanlage und/oder an weitere Zielrufterminals übermittelt. Da die Verbindungen zwischen den einzelnen Zielrufterminals von verschiedenen oder gleichen Stockwerken und die Verbindungen von den Zielrufterminals zu der zentralen Steuereinheit herkömmlicherweise drahtgebunden sind, können diese Verbindungen für die Übermittlung des Steuerdatenpaketes herangezogen werden. Auf diese Weise wird verhindert, dass das Wartungspersonal jedes einzelne Zielrufterminal aufsuchen und mittels des Steuerdatenspeicherelements aktualisieren muss. So läßt sich der Personal- und Zeitaufwand zur Modernisierung der Steuerungsfunktionen weiter reduzieren.In a further advantageous development, the control data packet is transmitted from the destination call terminal to a central control unit of the elevator installation and / or to further destination call terminals. Since the connections between the individual destination call terminals of different or the same floors and the connections from the destination call terminals to the central control unit are conventionally wired, these connections can be used for the transmission of the control data packet. In this way, the maintenance personnel is prevented from having to visit and update each individual destination call terminal by means of the control data storage element. Thus, the staff and time required to modernize the control functions can be further reduced.

Zweckmäßigerweise wird vor der Übermittlung des Steuerdatenpakets die Berechtigung überprüft und das Zielrufterminal dann mittels eines Freischaltungscodes freigeschalten, wenn diese Überprüfung der Berechtigung erfolgreich ist. Diese Maßnahme dient zur Sicherung vor Missbrauch. Gemäß einer Ausgestaltung wird der Freischaltungscode mittels einer Eingabeeinrichtung an dem Zielrufterminal eingegeben. Bei der Eingabeeinrichtung handelt es sich zweckmäßigerweise um das ohnehin vorhandene Tastaturfeld zur Eingabe von Zielrufstockwerken. Alternativ dazu kann der Freischaltungscode mittels der Nahfeld-Funkverbindung an das Zielrufterminal übermittelt werden. So kann bei der Verwendung eines Mobiltelefons als das Steuerdatenspeicherelement der Freischaltungscode über das Tastaturfeld des Mobiltelefons eingegeben werden.Expediently, the authorization is checked before the transmission of the control data packet and the destination call terminal is then released by means of an activation code if this verification of the authorization is successful. This measure serves to protect against misuse. According to one embodiment, the activation code is input by means of an input device to the destination call terminal. The input device is expediently the already existing keypad for entering destination call floors. Alternatively, the activation code can be transmitted by means of the near-field radio connection to the destination call terminal. Thus, when using a mobile phone as the control data storage element, the activation code can be entered via the keypad of the mobile phone.

Nachfolgend wir die Erfindung unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnung erläutert.Hereinafter, the invention will be explained with reference to the drawing.

Die Fig. 1 zeigt schematisch einen Ausschnitt einer Aufzugsanlage 10 mit drei Aufzügen 11, 12, 13. Im Bereich der Aufzugsanlage 10 befindet sich im ersten Stockwerk 15 ein Zielrufterminal 20 und im zweiten Stockwerk 16 ein Zielrufterminal 25. Zur Steuerung der gesamten Aufzugsanlage 10 ist eine zentrale Steuereinheit 14 vorgesehen, die über entsprechende Kommunikationsleitungen mit den Zielterminals 20, 25 und weiteren nicht dargestellten Zielrufterminals in den übrigen Stockwerken im Datenaustausch steht.1 schematically shows a section of an elevator installation 10 with three elevators 11, 12, 13. In the area of the elevator installation 10, a destination call terminal 20 is located on the first floor 15 and a destination call terminal 25 on the second floor 16. For controlling the entire elevator installation 10 a central control unit 14 is provided which communicates via corresponding communication lines with the destination terminals 20, 25 and other destination call terminals, not shown, in the other floors in the data exchange.

Das Zielrufterminal 20 umfasst eine RFID-Empfängereinheit 22, eine Speichereinheit 21 und ein Tastaturfeld 24. Dementsprechend weist das Zielrufterminal 25 eine Speichereinheit 26, eine RFID-Empfängereinheit 27 und ein Tastaturfeld 29 auf. Die RFID-Empfängereinheiten 22, 27 sind derart eingerichtet, dass sie zusammen mit einem unten näher ausgeführten Steuerdatenspeicherelement 30 eine Nahfeld-Funkverbindung generieren können.The destination call terminal 20 comprises an RFID receiver unit 22, a memory unit 21 and a keypad 24. Accordingly, the destination call terminal 25 has a memory unit 26, an RFID receiver unit 27 and a keypad 29. The RFID receiver units 22, 27 are arranged to cooperate with a closer detailed below Control data storage element 30 can generate a near-field radio link.

Um nun die durch die zentrale Steuereinheit 14 und die Zielrufterminals 20, 25 ermöglichte Steuerung der Aufzugsanlage 10 mit fortschreitender Zeit mit neuartigen Steuerungsfunktionen zu modernisieren, wird folgendes Verfahren durchgeführt:In order to modernize the control of the elevator installation 10 made possible by the central control unit 14 and the destination call terminals 20, 25 with the passage of time with novel control functions, the following method is carried out:

Eine berechtigte Person 40, wie beispielsweise für die Aufzugsanlage 10 verantwortliches Wartungspersonal oder eine sonstige für das Gebäude zuständige Person, nähert sich unter Mitführung des mobilen Steuerdatenspeicherelements 30 in Form einer RFID-Speicherkarte 30 oder eines Mobiltelefons dem Zielrufterminal 20. Auf der Speicherkarte 30 ist ein Steuerdatenpaket mit den neu zu installierenden Steuerungsfunktionen in Form eines Softwareupdates in einem Speicherelement 32 hinterlegt. Ferner umfasst die Speicherkarte 30 eine Sendeeinheit 31 inklusive einer Übertragungseinrichtung, wie beispielsweise eine Antenne. Sobald sich die von der Person 40 an das Zielrufterminal 20 gehaltene Speicherkarte 30 in unmittelbarer Nähe vom dem Zielrufterminal 20 befindet, dass heißt die Entfernung R zwischen der Sendeeinheit 31 und der Empfängereinheit 22 beispielsweise weniger als etwa 30 cm beträgt, wird eine Nahfeld-Funkverbindung zwischen der Sendeeinheit 31 und der Empfängereinheit 22 generiert. Diese Nahfeld-Funkverbindung ist derart ausgelegt, dass eine ausreichende Übertragungsbandbreite zur Übersendung des Steuerdatenpakets zur Verfügung steht. Als zusätzliche Sicherheitsmaßnahme kann vorgesehen werden, dass die Person 40, um überhaupt eine solche Nahfeld-Funkverbindung generieren zu können, vorab einen Freischaltungscode mittels des Tastaturfeldes 24 eingeben muss.An authorized person 40, such as maintenance personnel responsible for the elevator installation 10 or another person responsible for the building, approaches the destination call terminal 20 in the form of an RFID memory card 30 or a mobile telephone while carrying the mobile control data storage element 30 Control data packet stored with the newly installed control functions in the form of a software update in a memory element 32. Furthermore, the memory card 30 comprises a transmitting unit 31 including a transmission device, such as an antenna. As soon as the memory card 30 held by the person 40 to the destination call terminal 20 is in the immediate vicinity of the destination call terminal 20, that is, the distance R between the transmitting unit 31 and the receiver unit 22 is less than about 30 cm, for example, a near-field radio link will intervene the transmitting unit 31 and the receiver unit 22 is generated. This near-field radio link is designed such that a sufficient transmission bandwidth is available for the transmission of the control data packet. As an additional security measure, it may be provided that the person 40, in order to be able to generate such a near-field radio connection at all, must first enter an activation code by means of the keypad 24.

Nach vollständiger Übersendung des Steuerdatenpaketes von dem Steuerdatenspeicherelement 30 an das Zielrufterminal 20, das heisst von der Sendeeinheit 31 an die Empfängereinheit 22, wird das Steuerdatenpaket in der Speichereinheit 21 hinterlegt. Nach Beendigung dieses Vorganges kann sich die Person 40 mit dem Steuerdatenspeicherelement 30 von dem Zielrufterminal 20 entfernen und den Vorgang im zweiten Stockwerk 16 für das Zielrufterminal 25 wiederholen. Alternativ kann aber auch die ohnehin zur Kommunikation zwischen den Zielrufterminals 20, 25 und der zentralen Steuereinheit 14 vorhandene Datenleitung dazu genutzt werden, das in der Speichereinheit 21 hinterlegte Steuerdatenpaket auf die Speichereinheit 26 des Zielrufterminals 25 zu übertragen.After complete transmission of the control data packet from the control data storage element 30 to the destination call terminal 20, that is, from the transmitting unit 31 to the receiver unit 22, the control data packet in the storage unit 21 deposited. Upon completion of this process, the person 40 with the control data storage element 30 can move away from the destination call terminal 20 and repeat the process on the second floor 16 for the destination call terminal 25. Alternatively, however, the data line already present for communication between the destination call terminals 20, 25 and the central control unit 14 can also be used to transmit the control data packet stored in the memory unit 21 to the memory unit 26 of the destination call terminal 25.

Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren zur Modernisierung der Steuerung der Aufzugsanlage 10 zeichnet sich insbesondere dadurch aus, dass die Modernisierung der Steuerungsfunktionen mittels einer drahtlosen Nahfeld-Funkverbindung und dem von einer Person mitgeführten mobilen Steuerdatenspeicherelement 30 auf einfache Art und Weise durchgeführt werden kann. Dadurch kann unter anderem auf den Austausch von Steckkarten inklusive Öffnen und Schließen der Gehäuse der Zielrufterminals 20, 25 verzichtet werden.The inventive method for modernizing the control of the elevator installation 10 is characterized in particular by the fact that the modernization of the control functions by means of a wireless near-field radio connection and the mobile control data storage element 30 entrained by a person can be carried out in a simple manner. As a result, inter alia, the replacement of plug-in cards including opening and closing the housing of the destination call terminals 20, 25 are dispensed with.
