Abstract
A control console for controlling an elevator system has a computer board for controlling the elevator system in its entirety and a display monitor with a touch panel function, for displaying data stored in a memory on the computer board. Control data is entered using simulated buttons displayed on a monitor screen of the display monitor. The monitor screen displays a floor height menu for displaying the floor heights of respective floors of a building, an in-console call menu for allowing the operator to make operations similar to those on an elevator car control console, a function menu for setting various functions, a first failure display menu for displaying failures, and a data list menu for displaying various data. The operator enters necessary data in these menus.
Claims13
An elevator system comprising:
- an electric motor for raising and lowering an elevator car;
- an operating state detector for detecting an operating state of a system including said elevator car;
- a controller for controlling said electric motor and converting a signal detected by said operating state detector into detected data;
- and
- a display monitor either connected to or disposed in said controller, for displaying said detected data and entering control data used by said controller;
- said control data being entered by a touch panel function or a pointing device function of said display monitor.
An elevator system comprising:
- an electric motor for raising and lowering an elevator car;
- an operating state detector for detecting an operating state of a system including said elevator car;
- a controller for controlling said electric motor and converting a signal detected by said operating state detector into detected data;
- and
- a display monitor either connected to or disposed in said controller;
- said controller having a computer board for controlling menus displayed on said display monitor and controlling a maximum elevating and lowering speed of said elevator car in a range from 30 to 600 [m/min] through rotation of said electric motor.
A method of controlling an elevator system including an electric motor for raising and lowering an elevator car, an operating state detector for detecting an operating state of a system including said elevator car, a controller for controlling said electric motor and converting a signal detected by said operating state detector into detected data, and a display monitor either connected to or disposed in said controller, said method comprising the steps of:
- entering control data used by said controller;
- rotating said electric motor based on said control data;
- detecting an operating state of said elevator car;
- and
- displaying said detected data on a monitor screen of said display monitor;
- said step of entering control data comprising the step of entering the control data using a touch panel function or a pointing device function of said display monitor.
