Elevator renewal construction method and elevator control panel

An elevator control panel, comprising:

• an elevator control unit configured to control a new device of an elevator using a new communication system different from an old communication system at least in data transmission speed;
• and
• a communication conversion unit, which is connected to the elevator control unit, and is configured to mutually convert a communication system between the old communication system and the new communication system,
• wherein the elevator control unit is configured to be capable of controlling an old device of an elevator through the old communication system having been converted through the communication conversion unit;
• and
• wherein the communication conversion unit is provided so as to be removable from the elevator control panel.

An elevator renewal construction method for renewing at least one device in an existing elevator, comprising the steps of:

• replacing an old control panel of the existing elevator with a new control panel;
• converting a communication system from a new communication system to an old communication system through a communication conversion unit so as to control an old device through the old communication system;
• replacing the old device with a new device;
• and
• controlling the new device by the new control panel without using the communication conversion unit through the new communication system.

An elevator renewal construction method for renewing at least one device in an existing elevator, comprising the steps of:

• replacing an old control panel of the existing elevator with a new control panel;
• connecting an old device, for connecting the old device and the old control panel of the existing elevator to each other, to a communication conversion unit;
• converting a communication system from a new communication system to an old communication system by the new control panel via the communication conversion unit, to thereby control the old device through the old communication system;
• replacing the old device with a new device;
• connecting the new control panel and the new device to each other;
• and controlling the new device by the new control panel through the new communication system.
