Abstract
The invention relates to a method for limiting the loading of an elevator assembly, and also to an elevator assembly.
Claims15
Method for limiting the loading of an elevator assembly, wherein
- a plurality of optional operational objectives are determined for the elevator traffic
- one or more of these is selected at a time to be implemented as an operational objective of the elevator traffic using selection criteria of the operational objective
- a movement profile of the elevator car is formed on the basis of one or more selected operational objectives
- wherein:
- a limit value for the maximum permitted loading is set for one or more parts of the elevator assembly
- the loading of the aforementioned one or more parts of the elevator assembly is determined, and
- if it is deduced that the loading of the aforementioned one or more parts of the elevator assembly exceeds the limit value for the maximum permitted loading, the loading of the one or more parts in question of the elevator assembly is limited by modifying the value of the movement magnitude of the elevator car in the movement profile of the elevator car.

Elevator assembly, which comprises:
- an elevator car;
- an electric drive for moving the elevator car according to a movement profile to be determined for the movement of the elevator car;
- a control apparatus, which is arranged:
- to determine a plurality of optional operational objectives for the elevator traffic,
- to select one or more of these at a time to be implemented as an operational objective of the elevator traffic using selection criteria of the operational objective,
- to form a movement profile of the elevator car on the basis of one or more selected operational objectives,
- wherein the control apparatus is arranged:
- to set a limit value for the maximum permitted loading for one or more parts of the elevator assembly,
- to determine the loading of the aforementioned one or more parts of the elevator assembly, and
- when it deduces that the loading of the aforementioned one or more parts of the elevator assembly exceeds the limit value for the maximum permitted loading, the control apparatus is arranged to limit the loading of the one or more parts in question of the elevator assembly by modifying the value of the movement magnitude of the elevator car in the movement profile of the elevator car.
