An electronic safety system for an elevator with a controller, which is coupled to a motor for driving an elevator car, a safety controller and a bus by means of which the controller can communicate with bus nodes which receive data from at least one sensor. The controller can communicate with a safety circuit which can be put into an open state by the safety controller, as a result of which the motor is shut off, and the safety circuit has a means which notifies the controller of shut-off of the motor, or shut-off of the motor can be detected by the controller on the basis of the data transmitted from the bus nodes to the controller.

Electronic safety system for an elevator having a bus and safety circuit

The invention relates to a switch acting in contactless fashion for the purpose of detecting the position of a first part with respect to a second part, having a transceiver for attachment to one of the parts, which transceiver is supplied with power by an electrical supply source and comprises a coil, which is connected to a transmission/reception circuit, for the purpose of transmitting an interrogation signal and for the purpose of receiving a response signal, which can be transmitted in response to the interrogation signal by a transponder which can be arranged on the other part, wherein in addition to a first path for processing the response signal to an evaluation circuit, a second path is provided which has a proximity circuit, which is connected on the input side to a connection of the coil and on the output side to the evaluation circuit for the amplitude of the voltage tapped off by the coil for the purpose of determining the distance between the parts.

Switch acting in a contactless fashion

The invention relates to a position monitoring device for establishing the position of a first part with respect to a second part, having a transceiver at the first part for emitting an interrogation signal and for receiving a response signal that can be emitted in reaction to the interrogation signal by a transponder, wherein a screen that attenuates signals between the transponder and the transceiver is provided, two members of the group consisting of the transceiver, the screen and the transponder being movable relative to one another.
