Abstract:
Die Erfindung betriff ein Verfahren zur Steuerung einer Aufzuganlage (10) mit mindestens einem Schacht (12, 26), in dem zumindest ein Fahrkorb (14, 28) mittels einer Antriebseinrichtung (20, 22, 34, 36) verfahrbar ist, und mit einer Aufzugsteuervorrichtung (50), die den Betrieb der Aufzuganlage (10) steuert. Um das Verfahren derart weiterzubilden, dass der Energieverbrauch und der Verschleiß der Aufzuganlage (10) reduziert und die Förderkapazität gesteigert werden können, wird erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagen, dass man Benutzungsdaten der Aufzuganlage (10) erfasst und in einer Datenbank (60, 61) der Aufzugsteuervorrichtung (50) speichert, innerhalb eines vorgegebenen oder vorgebbaren Erfassungszeitraums erfasste Benutzungsdaten mittels mindestens einer ein Betriebssystem aufweisenden Signalverarbeitungseinrichtung (56, 57) der Aufzugsteuervorrichtung (50) auf das Vorliegen von Benutzungsprofilen auswertet und den Betrieb der Aufzuganlage (10) in Abhängigkeit von den Benutzungsmustern vorausschauend energieoptimiert und/oder förderleistungsoptimiert steuert. Außerdem wird eine Aufzuganlage (10) zur Durchführung des Verfahrens vorgeschlagen.
Abstract:
An exemplary method of controlling an elevator system having a plurality of elevator cars includes determining a current traffic condition of the elevator system. A determination is made regarding a current elevator system performance. A dormant mode of at least one of the elevator cars including at least one associated elevator car component in a reduced power consumption mode is controlled based upon the determined current traffic condition and the determined current elevator system performance.
Abstract:
When an average wait time is low (23, 24) an elevator car (31-34) is parked (39), unable to answer calls, or if a parameter (45) is low (46), the car is shut-down. If wait time is high, a parked car is assigned the call. If no cars are parked, a shut-down car may be assigned based on RRT. If up running cars can answer the call, the down running cars are excluded.
Abstract:
An elevator control system employs a microprocessor-based group controller (17) which communicates with the cars (3, 4) of the elevator system to determine conditions of the cars and responds to hall calls registered at a plurality of landings in the building serviced by the cars under control of the group controller, to provide assignments of calls to cars based on the summation for each car, with respect to each call, a weighted summation of a plurality of system response factors indicative of conditions of the car irrespective of the call to be assigned, and indicative of conditions of the car relative to the call to be assigned, including factors relating to preferring cars which are running, which require motion to provide service already assigned to the car, which do not have lobby calls, which are not positioned at the lobby, which are not full, even though the car may have a car call at the floor of the all call under consideration, which do not have excessive car calls in them, and so forth. Exemplary apparatus and logic flow diagrams are disclosed to illustrate the specific manner of assigning calls to cars in accordance with the invention, and to illustrate the environment in which the invention may be practiced.
Abstract:
Provided is an elevator group control apparatus which brings distributed standby control into action when the movement of users is heavy in one direction in an unbalanced manner in time zones which account for large proportions of an elevator use condition of a day, for example, in off-hour zones and time zones in which traffic demand is relatively small, thereby improving the waiting time of users, and does not bring distributed standby control into action when there is no unbalanced condition of the movement of the users, whereby it is possible to perform energy savings by reducing power consumption during runs without greatly worsening the waiting time of the users. In an elevator group control apparatus which performs the operation control of a plurality of elevators, there is detected a downward traffic flow ratio of traffic flows departing downward from floors higher than a prescribed main floor in the total traffic flow departing from one floor to another. If the downward traffic flow ratio is not less than a prescribed reference value, a standby mode for downward traffic flow is made effective. If the above-described standby mode for downward traffic flow has been made effective, at least one elevator car is caused to be on standby on a floor higher than the main floor and at least one elevator car is caused to be on standby on the main floor.
Abstract:
An elevator system includes a control for controlling an elevator into an idle state and/or for cancelling the idle state. The elevator system is configured to receive data from a control circuit external to the elevator system, and the control is arranged to form a control command for controlling the elevator into an idle state and/or for cancelling the idle state on the basis of data received from a control circuit external to the elevator system.
