Method and apparatus for commissioning a passenger transportation system

A method for commissioning a passenger transportation system supported by a mobile device that is computer-controlled from an application and is configured to exchange data both with a programmable controller controlling the passenger transportation system and with an external database in which database configuration information regarding configurations of a plurality of passenger transportation systems is stored, the method comprising the steps of:

• retrieving from the external database by the computer-controlled mobile device configuration information that details information regarding a configuration of the passenger transportation system;
• requesting by the computer-controlled mobile device, under consideration of the configuration information, commissioning information that details information regarding parameters that must be set within a scope of a commissioning of the passenger transportation system;
• wherein the configuration information details which components have been ordered to construct the passenger transportation system, and wherein, during the requesting of the commissioning information, the computer-controlled mobile device only requests commissioning information regarding which of the ordered components must be set within the scope of the commissioning of the passenger transportation system;
• and
• transmitting the commissioning information to the controller controlling the passenger transportation system.

• transmitting the commissioning information to the controller controlling the passenger transportation system;
• and
• performing at least one of:
• determining an identity of a technician carrying out the commissioning by requesting a person-specific authentication;
• outputting request information via the computer-controlled mobile device when requesting the commissioning information, the request information detailing as to how the commissioning information to be requested must be determined;
• determining identity information regarding an identity of the passenger transportation system based on an operational plan for a technician carrying out the commissioning, and wherein the configuration information is retrieved under consideration of the identity information;
• storing execution information that contains at least one piece of information regarding which commissioning information was requested, at what time the commissioning information was requested, —at what time the commissioning information was transmitted to the controller, which technician requested the commissioning information, and how many repetitions were carried out when the commissioning information was requested;
• and
• determining component information regarding a component actually installed in the passenger transportation system and comparing the component information with configuration information regarding the component.
