Elevator supervision
First Claim
1. A method for supervising the safety of an elevator having a car driven by driving means, comprising the steps of:
- a) sensing a travel parameter of the car;
b) sensing a travel parameter of the driving means;
c) comparing the travel parameters such that if there is a deviation between the two parameters of more than a given value an emergency stop is initiated, otherwise outputting one of the travel parameters as a verified signal;
d) comparing the verified signal with predetermined permitted values; and
e) initiating an emergency stop if the verified signal is outside the permitted values.

Abstract
A method and system for supervising the safety of an elevator having a car driven by a drive within a hoistway wherein a travel parameter (XABS,X″Acc,X′IGB) of the car is sensed and continually compared with a similarly sensed travel parameter (X′IG) of the drive. If the comparison shows a large deviation between the two parameters, an emergency stop is initiated. Otherwise one of the travel parameters (XABS,X″Acc X′IGB; X′IG) is output as a verified signal (X;X′). The verified signal is then compared with predetermined permitted values. If it lies outside the permitted range then an emergency stop is initiated.

6. A safety supervision system for an elevator installation having a car driven by driving means, the system comprising:
-
a first sensor for indicating a travel parameter of the car;
at least one registry containing permitted travel parameter values;
a second sensor for indicating a travel parameter of the driving means;
first comparator means for comparing the parameters to produce an emergency stop if the two parameters deviate by more than a given value, otherwise outputting one of the sensed travel parameters as a verified signal; and
second comparator means for comparing the verified signal with the permitted travel parameter values in the registry and initiating an emergency stop if the verified signal lies outside the permitted values. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)
