ABSTRACT:
A self correcting infrared intrusion detection system primarily for elevator doors establishes multiple through-beams to intelligently detect passengers and adjust for environmental changes. Beam patterns are monitored by software that differentiates between intrusions and malfunctions and adjusts itself automatically when hardware partially fails in the absence of an intrusion. The system automatically chooses and executes two different door-width sensing routines. A plurality of spaced apart transmitter stations mounted vertically apart in one door faces a plurality of spaced apart, receiver stations mounted in the other door. Each transmitter station periodically radiates modulated light towards the receivers in the opposite door. A main control circuit monitors all receivers, controls all the transmitters, and executes the software. The presence or absence of a Shepherd beam established diagonally between the doors determines whether the system executes a "long beam" pattern when the doors are far apart or a "short beam" pattern when the doors are closer together. Gate networks can be jumpered to variably configure the transmitters and receivers. The software adjusts for broken parts or semi-permanently interrupted beams by automatically marking out inoperative pathways, thus enabling the system to continue functioning with alternative beam sequences evolved on the job. Marked out beam are periodically re-established by the software. Diagnostic indicators monitor blocked beams to warn service personnel.
