Abstract
A monitoring device for passenger transport systems, which systems are designed as elevators, escalators or moving walkways, includes at least one detecting device used to detect an external actuation of an equipment of the passenger transport system, a control device and at least one energy store for storing electrical energy. The energy store is kept in a charged state. The energy store is put into a discharged state when the detecting device detects the external activation of the equipment.
Claims15
A monitoring device for transport systems for persons comprising:
- a detecting device for detecting external actuation of an equipment of a passenger transport system;
- and
- an energy store for storing electrical energy, wherein the energy store is kept in an electrically charged state independently of an external energy supply for the passenger transport system, wherein the detecting device detects external actuation of the equipment and the energy store is transferred to an electrically discharged state after the external actuation of the equipment, and wherein the discharged state of the energy store represents the external actuation when the equipment has re-adopted an initial position prior to the external actuation.
A method of monitoring a passenger transport system having an externally actuated equipment comprising the steps of:
- detecting external actuation of the equipment with a detecting device;
- charging an energy store for storage of electrical energy to a charged state;
- and
- transferring the energy store to a discharged state when the external actuation of the device is detected, wherein the discharged state of the energy store represents external actuation when the equipment has re-adopted an initial state thereof prior to the external actuation.
