Abstract
A method for repositioning an elevator car of an elevator installation uses an edge device. An elevator installation including the elevator car is connected with the edge device. A controller of the elevator installation informs the edge device of the actual position of the elevator car by sending a message or signal from the controller to the edge device. The edge device saves the actual position of the elevator car as position data in a memory of the edge device and then sends the position data to the controller when the controller asks the edge device for the actual position of the elevator car.

A method to reposition an elevator car in a shaft of an elevator installation, the elevator installation including a controller connected with an edge device, the edge device being arranged between the elevator installation and a network, the method comprising steps of:
- the controller informing the edge device of an actual position of the elevator car in the shaft;
- the edge device saving the actual position of the elevator car received from the controller as position data in a memory of the edge device;
- and
- the edge device sending the saved position data from the memory to the controller in response to the controller asking the edge device for the actual position of the elevator car.
An elevator installation comprising:
- an elevator car moveable in a shaft of the elevator installation;
- a controller connected with an edge device, the edge device being arranged between the elevator installation and a network;
- and
- wherein the controller is adapted to inform the edge device of an actual position of the elevator car in the shaft, to ask the edge device for the actual position of the elevator car when the controller or an operation of the elevator installation has been reset or rebooted and/or when the controller has lost the actual position of the elevator car.
