Abstract
The invention relates to a lifting system and a method for controlling the lifting system, as well as a control system for a lifting system of this type in which an evaluation signal and a control signal are transmitted in order to actuate the lifting devices.
Claims26
A lifting system, which comprises a plurality of lifting apparatuses which are actuatable by means of a control system, the control system comprising a control device and a plurality of control units, a control unit being provided on each lifting apparatus and actuating a load-bearing means of the lifting apparatus, the control device being provided separately from the control units, and the control units and the control device each comprising a transmitter/receiver for wireless transmission of a control signal, wherein a data interface for the wireless transmission of a presence signal is provided on each control unit and on the control device, and in that the data interface on the control unit has a signal cone which is oriented differently from the load-bearing means.

A method for controlling a lifting system consisting of a plurality of lifting apparatuses, each of which has a load-bearing means which is movable up and down,
- in which a control system is used to actuate the lifting apparatuses, which control system consists of a control device and a plurality of control units arranged separately therefrom and one on each lifting apparatus,
- the control device and the control units having a transmitter/receiver by means of which control signals are transmitted wirelessly, wherein
- the control device and the control units each have data interfaces by means of which at least one presence signal is transmitted between the control device and the respective control unit, and in that the control device is positioned within a signal cone of the data interface of the control unit.
