ABSTRACT:
Each car controller (10) in a multicar elevator system provides two serial asynchronous full duplex I/O channels to communicate with the next and previous car controllers. These two channels allow the transmission of a message in two opposite directions (32,34) on a communications ring. A single interruption of the ring, by an interrupted transmission line or a disturbed car controller for example, guarantees the transmission of messages to each car controller in at least one of the two directions.
Each car controller contains three remote serial link interfaces. The first remote serial link interfaces to the car fixtures; car buttons, car tell tale lights, etc. The second remote serial link interfaces to car related hall fixtures; hall position indicator hall lantern, etc. The third remote serial link interfaces to the group related hall fixtures; hall buttons, hall tell tale lights, etc.
To ensure the operation of the group related hall fixtures if a car controller fails or is switched off, a switchover module (28,36) is used. The purpose of the switchover module is to connect the group related hall fixtures to one of two car controllers. In the event that a car controller fails or is switched off, the switchover module connects the group related hall fixtures to the other car controller.
